« RECORD »


Disposition:

"And with the offering of eternal prayer, comes the creation of All Things. You, too, shall pass through this Gate."

With very little interest in formal education, Fiona is a truth seeker and adventurer. These two traits are a product of her parents' unhappy marriage that led to divorce based on their different ideals and religion. Her father shared with her his joy of fairy-tales, whereas her mother was a strongly logic-minded; a person who rejected both emotions and anything fantastical. Unfortunately for Fiona, she was left in her mother's care after he father left. Her mother wanted her to become more like her and less like her father. Between struggling with school and her mother's world views, Fiona ultimately decides to abandon that life and travel east after receiving a mysterious letter. Her travels take her to Calcutta where it is likely she acquired her Holy Key and a deeper connection with her personal god, Yog-Sothoth. (Yes, the Lovecraftian Outer God.) Fiona also gets involved in the Lakeside Village investigation, tying her story with Hastur (again Lovecraftian based), and she eventually ends up at the Oletus' Manor after being sent by her god.

Fiona views the trials of life with fascination and is a devout believer in her religion. This holds true even when she knows of a darker future: "I heard it; it's the apocalypse". She believes that the laws of nature are "hiding in darkness", likely both in the sense that the truth of life is obscured and she literally believes in an eldritch god locked out of the universe. Her belief in her god and her ideals make her an open-minded individual. Fiona follows her heart and does not waiver when others doubt her beliefs. It helps that she has evidence: the divine powers gifted to her by the Holy Key she carries.

As a Support survivor, Fiona's character is designed to help others. It would not be far-fetched to assume her role likely goes along with her willingness to help. In her IC tweets, she has offered multiple times to "walk together" as a guide or partner in her fan responses. Despite viewing herself as "dim-witted", she also is a very wise individual. Kindness should be met with gratitude, realizing one's weakness leads to the path of betterment, humanity's ability to love is a boon whereas seeking to be loved is a bane to humanity...She can speak broadly and philosophically in response to simple statements. However, her choice of words can come off as cryptic and with a hint of teasing depending on the topic. Whether it's talking about a summer date ("...just kidding...?") or encouraging fans' excitement over a new skin ("Fufu… look forward to it"), Fiona has her lighthearted, playful moments.

The priestess may be an enigmatic figure shrouded in all her mysticism, but she is fundamentally a caring and broad-minded woman. Religion has been both a liberating force and her grounding center, allowing her to offer guidance and wisdom to others. Her other interests include geography, philosophy, and creativity while she looks down upon foolishness and vulgarity.

Suitability:

Fiona is no novice when it comes to handling the strange and bizarre-- especially for magic! She dabbles in mysticism frequently, and adjusts to the strange. This is the same woman who crashed the eternal murder party at the manor; she believes her circumstances are part of her god's guidance and is quick to adapt, even if it means being thrown into a life-threatening situation. While in Prisma, she accepted the moon-based transformations easily and did not mind the additional horniness effects that encouraged moonlacing. Her background in the occult likely has given her...experience in atypical social relations.

Despite her CRAU development creating a rift with her god, Fiona is still the type to be open to taking on a new situation with an open mind. She's done it before, she can do it again! Another adventure can't hurt.

Condition upon arrival: Healthy and ready to take on a new world!

Abilities: Fiona uses her Holy Key to make 2 types of portals!

Straight passage: Can get to the other side of things such as the other side of a wall or a line of touching items. People other than Fiona can go through them, but Hunters (or people with ill intent) automatically break the portals once they're on the other side. Includes a short few seconds stun for Hunters. Portals can be broken if hit.

Ultra-Long passage: Fiona reaches out to another person's spirit and calls to them. If the person takes it but touching a surface, a portal will connect from Fiona to them. A mirror image of the person who enters this type of portal remains for a short period of time. That image can be interacted with and then in turn affects the person. (For instance, if the image is injured, the person is then hurt.) Hunters/people with ill intent can't use this portal. This portal type can also be broken if hit.
>>>> NERFING = Fiona can only call out to people she has met AND they must be in the same city.

Fiona can change the Holy Key's size to the size of a small sofa and make it levitate. She is also sensitive to supernatural presences, and it is hinted that she may be able to divine visions through her Holy Key. It's mentioned on Identity V's twitter that she uses sigils for small spells like cutting a pumpkin. However, I don't plan on having her use sigils often, if ever.

With her "Blessed" skill, Fiona is able to heal herself and others slightly faster, but I'm limiting this to her only being able to bounce back from illness/injuries a little more quickly than the average person.

Inventory: Default outfit, Holy Key, and the Nightmare Crystal (comes out of the Holy Key, protects Fiona from nightmares)
