Character Name: Arietta the Wild
Canon: Tales of the Abyss
Canon Background: Good chuck of her history can be found here
AU Background:
Don't mind me using some info from Sync's background here. ;;
Just as in her original canon, Arietta was found as baby by the Queen Liger after her parents were killed in a tidal wave. Instead of killing her, the Liger Queen took her in and began to raise her as her own. Therefore Arietta grew up with monsters for most of her live, unaware of anything that went on outside of them. She grew accustom to them and their ways of life instead of a human's ways. It wasn't until someone found her near the forest with a skull of her dead sister was she taken in to human care. Recognizing her talent to communicate with monsters, they decided to use her for their own needs. This wasn't as easy as they anticipated as she still acted like a monster and attacked anyone whom got to close. The first person, and one of the only people, to get close to her was a boy of the name of Ion.
After gaining her trust, Ion was the one whom began to teach her how to speak and begin acting like her a human. She learned how to communicate, write, eat, and do all sorts of other things as a human. After this, she vowed to protect the boy whom many people were protective over due to is ability to see prophecies. As he didn't want her to know, Arietta was unaware of the fact that Ion was sick. Nonetheless, she did her best to protect him and always be by his side. It wasn't until she got a horrible, sickening feeling one day that she was told that Ion disappeared for the meantime, but he would be back. Still wanting to make good use of her despite not having Ion around, they lied to her explaining that he wanted her to work for them while he was gone. Unaware of their falsehood, this is exactly what Arietta began doing.
Personality:
Being raised by monsters, Arietta is as you would expect one to be - sheltered and timid. Being raised by ligers, caused her to know nothing of the world outside of her family. Therefore all religions and beliefs (such as the score) meant nothing to her, nor did she depend on them for anything. Still, though she was raised from monsters since a young birth she did know that she was a human. That her human family died by a tidal wave and that the Liger Queen began to raise her as her own. It's most likely due to being raised by man-eating monsters that Arietta, herself, doesn't have a problem with killing others. That is, after all, how she was raised. Honestly, it's more likely to see Arietta killing a human/person than a monster as she has a stronger connection with the latter.
Despite being sixteen, Arietta can come off as child-like. Being of small stature she can easily be mistaken for one as well (she is only 4'10). Her speaking language is a bit on the more childish as instead of using cuss words this is replaced with words such as 'jerk' and 'bully'. Most likely because Ion nor anyone else taught her those words therefore she didn't take them on. She also holds slightly child-like grudges, such as forever hating Anise for taking Ion from her. This can be one of Arietta's main weaknesses, that she holds deep grudges when someone wrongs her. One of the worst things that you can do to her is take something precious to her, as she hates being alone. Though she can seem like one who would rather be alone, she isn't. Rather one of the reasons she was so attached to Ion is (one that he was the first human that she made friends with) that he saved her from being alone along with Van. After her sister had died, they saved her from that loneliness. This is most likely another reason as to why she always has a monster with her.
Being more comfortable with monsters than humans, Arietta can easily come off as shy to others. She isn't the most talkative person, nor does she get all human aspects. When it comes to people, she only knows what had been taught to her. This can also mean that she's easy to manipulate and use. Unless, of course, your plan means hurting something at she loves. If you're someone who isn't on Arietta's bad side, she can actually be a nice person. Arietta is someone who has 'lost everyone they love' (Her 'mom and Ion) along with being someone that 'everyone is mean too' therefore coming off as a gloomy person all around. She does not believe herself too be gloomy nonetheless. None all of this will be true in Imperial Saga, as she hasn't lost her mother yet. This will mean that Arietta will have a slightly more cheerful deposition. (More than likely she'll still come off as slightly gloomy due to the one who taught her to speak disappearing.)
Despite knowing the harshness of life and reality, Arietta still is unable to get over it when things happen to her. She isn't someone whom can easily get over things and move on with her life; instead clinging to what she has left. If she does not have anything left, than she might as well. This was the reason that Ion's death was kept from her, as everyone assumed that she would kill herself if she knew the truth. This can also be taken that she holds onto the people precious to her in a positive way. She won't use or ditch her friends or do something to wrong them. She'd rather sacrifice herself than have something happen to one of her friends. This can be one of the reasons that she became Ion's guardian, because no matter what she wouldn't let anything happen to him. If she really cares about you, you'll know. Arietta isn't someone who hides her emotions, if something is wrong more than likely she'll tell. She isn't one who will keep her mouth shut and let someone do something that she doesn't agree with. Basically, she stick up for herself and possibly even others if the situation asks for it.
Arietta is one who is very good with following orders. (Unless they do harm to something that she loves) This is most likely why Van was able to make good use of her. She also uses her 'sisters' and 'brothers' to help her with things. Meaning that she is more than likely dependent on them or others. As when not fighting with them she was with Largo or Legretta. It's a rare sight to find Arietta completely by herself as she's a co-dependent person. Arietta is one that you'd also expect to have more wilderness survival skills than others, as she was, once again, raised by ligers. Also, as Arietta never laughed during the game nor in the short gardenia that she also appeared in, it's speculated that she's a hard person to make to laugh.
In general conversation, Arietta is one whom would most likely be distrusting of someone that she has yet to know. If not distrusting, than at least wiry. It isn't until she actually forms a opinion of you that she'll warm up to you or do the opposite. It isn't exactly easy to get on Arietta's warm side (the only person who seemed to fully achieve this was Ion) as she's quite the shielded person. Though she'll let you in on facts such as her family, it's much harder to get to the point where you learn about all her insecurities. Once you get pasted Arietta's barrier, she might act as one would call 'cute.' She can act loveable and cares much for people who mean something to do. Having limited knowledge, doesn't get all of the terms that one might speak causing her to get confused. She also always has a doll with her.
Combat Style: Both monsters and her spells is what Arietta uses for combat. As you'll never see her fighting alone, she usually provides support for her monsters whom are fighting upfront. Along with using spells such as 'bloody howling' and 'healing circle', she uses spells to give both offense and defense support. There are also certain times where the spell she's casting will change into a slightly different one with different effects such as 'healing circle' to 'faerie circle'. She isn't a close-range fighter, if one does get to close the most that she usually does is hit them with her doll. Though she does have two big spells such as 'Big Bang' and 'Evil Light', 'Evil Light' being a move she can use with her doll if the enemy gets to close.
If not off her monster giving support in the background, she's riding her monster instead. Perhaps giving support to them from there. In the case of a dire situation, it is also possible for Arietta to resort to more monster skills. Biting, for instance. Being of small frame, it doesn't take to much to knock the poor girl out. (I mean, she gets knocked out so much in the game) The hardest part of facing her is getting past her monsters.
Arietta, herself, is not much of a up-front fighting. In combat, she usually does back-up for the monster that she has fighting with her. Using spells to support from the back, even the occasionally healing spell. When there is not a monster present, than Arietta can use her doll to attack (though it isn't very useful). The only upfront spell that she has a hard one to use by the name of 'Evil Light'. This can only be used if it's a necessary situation. Still, you won't see much of Arietta in combat unless there is a monster around to support her or at least some sort of other being.
Kingdom or Faction: Church
Primary Role: Intelligence Operative
Soldier or Siege Company: --
Tarot Cards: The Hermit, The Tower, The High Priestess
Title: Arietta the Wild is indeed already a title.Though some others may call her Gloometta.
Artifacts: n/a
Setting Considerations: Hrm, it'd be wonderful if there was a specific forest in which Arietta grew up in. (Or rather a forest where her 'family' lives') This would be wonderful to have seeing as how her mom and eventually her own death took place here. Basically what I'm asking for is a forest place in which she would have a special connection too.
Notes: Back in her canon, Arietta always had a liger by her side. It was her main way of attacking as she was more of the casting type. So, more than likely, this is take place here as well.
Sample Post:
Your liege has called upon you to perform a task of great importance. Upon what do you rely to complete it?
What do I rely on...? Myself and my friend's strength to help me complete it. Without them I wouldn't be as able to do it as well.
Your rival in court knows something that you do not, and this knowledge is giving them the advantage. How do you address this issue?
I..I don't care! They can have their stupid secret, I don't want to hear about it. I don't need it to beat them.
What is god to you?
God..? I don't know anything about God. H-he's just a person that people talk about a lot. They pray and make wishes to him..
What is love to you?
Love is.. i-it's not being alone. When you would do anything for someone so that you can always be with them.
The pressures of court have become too much for you to bear, what do you do?
I try to make it go away, by getting my friend's help. Or leave it so that it doesn't have to be dealt with.
You are given the opportunity to bet everything you have for great fortune, should you win you will be granted the wealth of kings but should you lose you will lose everything. What do you do?
I'd never take this. I don't need human stuff to be happy. I just need Ion and my friends, that's it!
For what cause are you willing to sacrifice yourself?
I'd sacrifice myself for Ion, the commandant, or anyone that I care about if they asked me too. Or to get revenge if anything happened to them.
Everything you love and held dear has been taken from you in the blink of an eye. What do you do?
I... get it back. It isn't fair that something like that should happen to me! Or.. if I can't get it back than.. I don't want to live without it. D-Don't ask me this!
What are your aspirations?
To always be my Ion's side with my friends. That way, none of us have to be alone and we can all be happy. That's all I'll ever need.
Who deserves to pass judgement upon you, and who do you deserve to judge?
The people that I care about can pass judgement on me. W-who do I deserve to judge? The people that have done something wrong or that.. I don't care about. People who deserve to be judged...
