Revision as of 14:23, 16 September 2023
Belgard is a Divine of the Divine Fleet. Her ship is Thyrsus. Her death, some 250 years before the start of Twilight Mirage, began the most recent wave of Divine deaths.
Appearance
Belgard is sleek and almost person-like, like a human pupa or chrysalis, without arms or legs. Loose layers and components, like collapsible shields, are affixed around her 'hip' and 'shoulder' areas. Her face has dips where features might be but is otherwise featureless. When she is still, her joints, seams, and moving parts are difficult to discern.
Belgard has striking coloration, including black and contrasts of bright colors: like a butterfly's wings but more dull and deliberate looking.
Belgard can shift into a more active form, her pupal covering breaking into floating shield panels, which form into free-floating pieces of butterfly wings. Beneath, she has a massive mechanical female form, like a "one of those really good lady Gundams."[1]
History and Involvement
Belgard is from the class of Divines made by other Divines, hence why her name refers to an action rather than a virtue; Belgard is an archaic term for a loving look to give to someone.
Belgard was lost when she was abandoned by her Excerpt, ⸢Signet⸣, during a battle. She prioritized mending other ships over herself, and eventually succumbed to her own wounds. Despite the loss of Belgard, the Fleet has access to her intricate shielding mechanisms.
Over the course of Twilight Mirage, ⸢Signet⸣ works to reawaken Belgard using memory components,[2] fully bringing her back in the "godspeed, glory" arc.

By the time of PALISADE, she has been fused together with ⸢Signet⸣ and the Waking Cadent to become the Chimeric Cadent, residing on the moon Chimera's Lantern.
Abilities
Belgard provided high material efficiency and effective reworking of what exists. She could recycle materials one-for-one in order to rework them into something that is more-or-less what it used to be. She could also attach to objects to either mend or harm something. She was heavily shielded (using a combination of physical and energy shielding) and could wrap her shield panels around other small- to mid-sized ships or Divines.
