Pyrope Garnet
Theme Song: METHOD_HYMME_GRANZERO=SPEAR/. ~ Rekka Katakiri
I grasp for the light to rescue it
So that it may see tomorrowâs world
And summon it with my faith
A disaster scorches the surface of the world
And a girl lies frightened within the ruins
Forgetting everything, sighing in the darkness
But then, someone offers her his hand
And then the aftershocks come
And she confesses the worst of herself
Grieving over lives the world has stolen
But still he holds out his hand
So that we may protect this dayâs precious feelings
Here and now
Let us pledge to this world
So that we may recreate the world as we wish
I grasp for the light to rescue it
So that it may see tomorrowâs world
And summon it with my faith
Inevitably, my power will fade and my body will wither
But my determination shall not die with me
I grasp for the light to rescue it
So that it may see tomorrowâs world
And summon it with my faith
Yes, she wished for his happiness
And he wished for their togetherness
Without end, hindrance, fear or despair
They loved each other
And they lived happily ever after
They sung of progress
They sustained the light and nurtured it
They let it live to this day
And they relit it by their faith
Everything I have ever believed in, I shall protect
Here and now, we shall promise to our nurturing world,
That we never lose sight of the future before us
I grasp for the light to rescue it
So that it may see the world of tomorrow
And summon it with my faith
Role: Pure Pyrope Garnet
Gender: Female
Nickname(s): Vee
Age: 16
Appearance: In terms of appearance, Vega is a tiny young woman whose height leaves her looking much like a child compared to most people her age. Sheâs small, and doesnât weigh very much at all, leaving her body looking very thin and her build very much lacking. She does possess a figure, but itâs rather slight. Her figure is nothing impressive; she is still in the midst of adolescence, so she hasnât fully developed. The way she looks, she has a very narrow build that almost gives her a lithe look. Yet, with how little weighs, sheâs rather bony at her joints, and it makes her look frail, very frail. Vegaâs skin is very fair, yet it has some scars here and there from battles she has gotten into in her past.
Her hair is a deep color of black, yet at the same time, it is very reflective and prismatic. Depending on the light she is in, Vega's hair can appear to be a deep red, or just appear black while tinged a shade of crimson. She always seems to keep her hair up in a high side-ponytail; even like this her hair falls to just below her knees, and if caught without it up, her hair falls halfway down her calves. Vega keeps bangs that are even cut, stopping just above her eyebrows; they seem to gap in the middle, revealing something she would like to keep secret. . . .
She has rather lovely eyes though, they arenât a straight red, but are of a more crimson color, she has been told they shine like her given gemstone when sheâs smiling or is in the sun. Her lips are a touch thin, and pink.
As far as expressions go, itâs not at all uncommon to find her with an almost bored look upon her face, because of her upbringing, she seems to find herself getting bored very easy. Itâs pretty common to see her suddenly frown as well when things donât go her way; also, youâll see her get this dazed expression upon her youthful face, this means sheâs gone off into la-la land. Yet, despite the fact that her facial expressions make her look rather spoiled, or serious, you will at times find Vee with a distant look on her face, loneliness etched upon it.
Like the rest of the gemstones, Vegaâs given jewel is exposed upon her body, protruding from the very middle of her forehead, coming to a point. The garnet is diamond in shape and an inch by an inch from each side when measured; it looks like a very small horn and exposed for the world to see due to the gap that forms in her bangs.
Along with her usual clothing, Vega also carries a halberd on her person at all times, strapped to her back.
Preferred Clothing: Vega prefers her usual ensemble that you can almost always see her in, she doesnât feel remotely comfortable in clothing other than this.
Height: 4 ft 11 ins (149.8 cm)
Weight: 85 lbs (35.6 kg)
Measurements: 30-22-31 (77-58-78)
Hair Color: Reflective Black/Tinged Red (Pyrope Garnet can be such a deep share of red that it looks black, yet it will change to looking as red in the proper light.)
Eye Color: Crimson Red
If she believes someone is a good person, and truly kind she will not change her views for almost anything. She tends to maintain faith in people, even under the most horrible of circumstances. Frankly, it is hard to get her to truly hate someone. She knows people call her naĂŻve for this, but she embraces it and often will just smile to their claims and say, âAnd Iâm damn proud of it!â Vega believes in peopleâs hearts; she truly trusts that between good and evil, people will choose the right path.
Sheâs highly spirited, rather blunt, she likes playing simple pranks on people she cares about from time to time, and she will sometimes do this to get them out of their doldrums or to release tension in a situation. Vega isnât passed making herself look like a fool in order to get someone to crack a smile, to soothe a crying child, or to just dissolve a edgy situation; this involves her maybe tripping, falling in a comedic manner and possibly acting like sheâs stupid. She considers herself a people person, likable and fairly charming.
Vega makes friends fast, and is able to bond with others rather easy, getting attached at the drop of a hat. Once sheâs bonded with a person, sheâs liable to latch onto them at random, give them hugs and at times, tease them.
She does have some drawbacks to her personality though, given her history and her upbringing, Vega can be a little domineering. Vega doesnât mean to be this way; but she can get irritated if someone canât come to a decision quickly enough, and if this happens sheâll take control of a situation herself and make the choices. Vee has this sort of arrogance to her as well, she sometimes views herself as superior to others. The natural conceit Vega carries causes her to assume defensive behavior when she is questioned; she lives by her pride. . . . This is also part of the reason she acts as if her feelings are the only ones that matter at times. . . .
She always makes the hardest efforts in whatever she tries, and no matter how many times she fails, she has a will strong enough to continue trying until she succeeds. Vega is a girl adamant in never giving up. One to believe she can accomplish most anything, Vega seems rather bull-headed to most, yet very confident in herself.
At times, if things donât go her way, sheâll pout. Vega is a good girl with a strong sense of what is right and what is wrong; she is sensitive, bubbly and easily able to be moved to tears. And to anyone she deems important to her, she protects fiercely.
She has a secret shame; Vega is a closet klutz, apt to tripping and losing herself to Gravity. Because she IS a teenager too, itâs not entirely out of the question that sheâll take something with a second meaning, and wind up with her mind in the gutter. Sheâs extremely shy toward these matters and itâll result with her having a reddened face, and going stark silent. If someone tries to talk to her when sheâs in one of these states, sheâll tend to just whine and stutter out something that makes no sense.
Deep inside of her heart, Vega is lonely. She has spent much of the last year or so alone, and it makes her long for companionship, yet she is adamant about not forming any sort of bonds with people due to the fact that she seems to be a magnet for trouble. She doesnât want to get anyone hurt.
Oddities: For being as small as she is, Vee has an unusually large appetite, she gets hungry often and tends to eat so much food, youâd think sheâd be making herself sick. This couldnât be further from the truth though, as Vega always seems perfectly content after a meal despite having consumed enough food for someone twice her size. The girl is a food lover, and appreciates a good meal, always being polite about it and showing her gratitude whenever sheâs served or cooked for.
Vega has been told that she sleepwalks. While sheâs not aware of if this is true or now, in several places she has stayed in the last year or so, people have claimed to see her wandering around the hallways of the inn, looking as if she were a doll because she had a deadened look upon her face.
She canât swim, Vega simply cannot swim. The girl didnât grow up around water, so sheâs not able to even float, yet she puts up a brave front regarding it, and steps upon boats and anything that floats with a determined look upon her face.
Unlike many girls her age, Vega is not remotely frightened of insects or arachnids.
Likes: The sun, stars, reading, writing, peace, fauna, animals, games, shopping, stargazing, and friends.
Dislikes: Getting hurt, pain, suffering, darkness, prejudice, bitter and spicy foods, ignorance and violence.
Hobbies: Reading, writing, and stargazing.
Phobia(s):
Acrophobia - Heights
Aquaphobia - Deep water
Skills: Knowledge of anatomy and of medicine. Vega has learned how to treat wounds, and the injuries of people over the course of her travels. She has gained a very solid knowledge of how to make sure people can heal properly, and survive their wounds without incident, itâs become second-nature for her to know and understand the workings of the body.
Book-smarts; as someone who enjoys literature, Vega has read her share of books, both fiction and true. Though, getting her hands on books is not an easy task, Vee has spent a deal of her existence seeking out whatever text she could find, and digesting its contents as quickly as she could. Because of this, she is privy to many facts.
Fleet of foot; because she is so very small, Vega is rather quick, though she does not possess the stamina to maintain a top speed, she is still able to get short bursts of high speed out of her body to rush something or someone.
Power: In line with myths regarding garnet, Vega is able to control lightning and electricity; it was believed that garnets were formed during violent storms by lightning, and contained a spark of the element within itself, specifically speaking, Vegaâs lightning is red. Also, she sort of acts like a lightning rod in certain situations. Lightning is drawn to the garnet on her forehead in thunderstorms, and if there is some sort of loose electric in the area, she'll draw it to herself without meaning to. Also, Vega lacks control over her powers. They seem to have a mind all their own, and it often leads her into having problems. If her powers perceive something as a threat to her wellbeing, they will undermine their host's volition and strike.
Vega is also able to purify the body of toxins, as well as small areas of land, and halt the flow of blood in the body to an extent. In line with the garnet's purification abilities; Vega has an inate sense within her body to feel whether a fellow gemstone is tainted or not. She does not understand this ability, and it gets away from her at times.
She is also able to foster a sense of peace between people, and provide them with a natural sense of solace.
Personal History: Vegaâs life started off normally, she was born to a set of loving parents, Judith and Abele Delacroix who loved her despite the fact that she had a strange âbirthmark upon her foreheadâ. The parents were young at the time, just out of high school. But, Abele came from a rather well-off family you see, his father ran a rather successful company, and after Vegaâs birth, his father stepped down as head of the company and put his son in charge, confident of his abilities. The family of three had everything they needed to live comfortably, and never need or want for anything. Vega had a mother and a father who loved, and cherished her dearly; they were always there for her. The girl never wanted for anything, nor did she ever have to worry about going hungry, or being without a stable home.
Unlike many, her parents loved each other deeply and there were no worries of them splitting up. She always had them; they were always there for her. Despite the fact that they were well-off, Judith and Abele did well to make sure their daughter was raised right, she was taught how to be humble, to not look down upon others, and to be thankful for her lifestyle. Vega was instilled with her parentsâ values, and made to understand that her lifestyle was a luxury, not a necessity. Her childhood was normal, the garnet embedded in her forehead was often hidden by bangs or a circlet, she was bright and spirited going into school, and she was able to make friends with a few people who would be with her for years to come. Vega wasnât ever lonely, and she never had any experiences that would traumatize her. Unlike many children, she never had to actually deal with things like death, because she never lost anyone in her family.
While in elementary school, Vega tried out many different things, music, art, sports . . . trying to find something she might take to and like. Vega never really found anything that she took a shine to, so she was sort of all over the place in regards to a hobby, but she had fun trying out for things and failing at what she did. She was supported by her parents, who always told her just to have fun in life. As such, Vegaâs childhood is full of truly fun memories with her family and with her friends. . . . However, her life would not remain so happy as she reach the age of twelve. Things . . . things began to change for her rather drastically, while the problems were not from an outer source, it came from inside of herself.
Vegaâs powers as a gemstone began to awaken. . . .
Whenever Vega found herself becoming emotional, she noted that strange things started to occur around her; you could feel electricity in the air. Vega didnât understand it at all, she just noticed that things were changing, she herself would sometimes lose feeling in her limbs, they would tingle, go numb at random, causing her to sometimes fall down. Because she kept randomly falling over, her parents had tests run on her and observed by doctors to find a cause. After months of this, tons of tests, examinations and missing some school, Vega finally found the source of her problems when she managed to conjure up an explosion when she found herself frustrated with her homework.
She was attempting to do some algebra, when it happened, no matter what she did, for the life of the youth, she could just not figure out a specific problem, and in her mind she thought, âI wish my book would just explode so I wouldnât have to do this anymore!â and a few seconds later; the book spontaneously exploded with a bolt of lightning. She screamed, her parents rushed into the room and managed to extinguish the book with nearby fire extinguisher, when they asked what happened to her book, she told them she honestly didnât know.
Deep down inside though, Vega felt that she was at fault for the sudden explosion . . . and over the next week she would attempt to conjure up again, however she would not succeed for some time. The first time Vega would consciously manifest her powers, it would be a simple happening. In her hand, she would spark to life a tiny flicker of electricity, no bigger than what you get out of a match or a lighter. The girl could barely believe it, but there it was, the small bit of lightning, floating above the palm of her hand; Vega couldnât believe that she had the power to summon it to her will. After managing up the small bit of lightning, Vega kept on practicing and practicing with her powers, trying to make it easier for herself to actually bring a spark to life.
A little while after Vega turned thirteen, she had more or less mastered being able to summon small bits of electricity to appear at her whim. She was scared and curious about her abilities, she wondered what it was she ought to do in regards to her parents; she wondered if she should reveal her secret to them. After thinking about it for a while, Vega reach the conclusion that she would indeed show her mom and dad what she was able to do. Anxiously, she approached them, and stuttered out that she had something to show them. Due to her nervousness, it was a little hard for her to manage up a spark; but after a few seconds of struggling . . . she did it.
At first, Abele and Judith believed that she was doing some strange magic trick, trying to fool them since they knew that their daughter had an affinity for pulling pranks. But when that proved to be false, Vegaâs parents were shocked, utterly stunned, but they accepted their daughter anyway. Sure, they couldnât explain what it was Vega could do, but they loved her dearly, and she was still their little girl. . . . Her life remained mostly unchanged, until she was fourteen, she attended school like a normal child, her parents and her keeping the lightning charmerâs little secret.
However; one day . . . something horrible happened at her school, a crisis. Someone brought a firearm to school in one of her classes, it was her first time seeing blood, seeing people get hurt, and it would scar her mind. She became horribly frightened, scared, and in her terror as the gunman turned toward her in their insanity, she cried out loudly; her powers spun out of her control. Vega caused an electrical explosion; hurting several people and knocking the gunman unconscious. People believed that there was a leaking gas line in the school, and attributed the explosion to that . . . Vega was rushed to a hospital along with her classmates. She was scuffed up and had dust on her, but she was fine considering that she was the source of the detonation.
Following this event, Vegaâs parents withdrew their daughter from school, and began to home school her for some time; but it happened that the whole event regarding the explosion caused by Vega had been caught on a camera . . . word of this strange happening caught the ears of people high up, people who one should indeed fear. Strangely clothed people began to appear around wherever Vega and her parents would be, following them until one point they were approached and told to hand her over.
Abele and Judith refused of course, and the end result was a rather violent encounter between these men and her fatherâs security. Vega found herself without control over her powers once more, and scared off the strange men with her uncontrollable powers. In the whole event, she wound up hurting her parents. Horrified with what she had done, Vega swore to never use her powers again. And because of these strange men who seemed to be threatening her parents; Vega wanted to move away from her mom and dad, to find out the reasons behind her powers and the gemstone in her forehead.
While they didnât initially support this course of action, they understood there was no changing their childâs mind and obliged. Soon after, she had herself packed up and ready to go, bidding farewell to her parents she hugged them regretfully and said that she hoped to see them again someday. . . . At the age of fourteen, Vega set off into the world. She has seen many things in her time travelling, from what has become of the world that now lay upon the vestiges of death, to the fact that things in the world seem to go going downhill.
Vega herself lives a life of solitude, she has no friends and rarely interacts with people, unless protecting someone in a dangerous situation. It has been a year and a half since this happened, and so far everything has been going rather smoothly for her; she has had no problems getting by and there have been no run-ins with those people who wanted to take her away. Since she has seem people get hurt before, and injured her own parents Vega took on a new vow, to use her abilities and to protect people.

Vega herself lives a life of solitude, she has no friends and rarely interacts with people, unless protecting someone in a dangerous situation.
To date, she has used her powers to an extent, using them to help people or to do simple things, and she does still not know of the reasons behind her jewel or powers. She lives as a wanderer, going from place to place, wherever she feels she is meant to go. . . . Vega does feel something calling her though; she can feel something summoning her with every step she takes.
Other: Money wise, Vega is supplied by her parents by means of an electronic card that is linked to one of their accounts.
