Also, a spark in her core has awakened magic within her frame, granting her arcane powers.

Revision as of 22:48, 10 June 2023

Thisbe is a character in PARTIZAN and PALISADE. She is a synthetic being built to resemble the Hypha.

Appearance

She is a sleek, glassy and shiny robot in a muted blueish color based on the Hypha, or the Ashen. She has large, exaggerated legs like Drossel from Fireball Charming and a stylized face - cuter than the Hypha, looking more like a deer.

She is very tall — about two feet taller than the other party members, and has a scar across her face from when she was dug up. The scar was filled with clear polymer-like material. After meeting with the Sable Court, the scar has been filled with silver white opal memoria dust with slight hints of rainbow.

She has extremely intense ram's horns, like a watch spring's spiral but more conical.

In PALISADE, the screens on her hands have been scratched and clouded with wear, and she has a simple grey cloak.[1]

Personality

Drive

  • Find the farmers of her planet and return.[2]

Scars

History and Involvement

Thisbe is a "Servide" model robot created to work — she was meant to be a multi-purpose tool. The people who built her wanted to exploit the skills of the Hypha; she has abilities to sense and scan technology.

Thisbe's first operant was the Divine Space. During the Principality's first era of colonization, she was one of many units that were sent to colonize the Orion arm.

She was found by farmers, who dug her out of the ground on their farm. In the process, they damaged her face with their shovel, leaving a scar. She does not have any memories of her life from before that time.

Since she was too dangerous to live on a farm, she was purchased by a team of mercenaries, who later sold her to the current crew after most of them got killed in a mission. The team believed Thisbe was just a regular robot at first, but soon realized she was sentient, and a real part of the crew. She does her best to anticipate what people need of her.[2]

As of PALISADE episode 01, she has been in hiding for several years, due to her highly recognizable appearance and public identity as the mech sumo champion from the Summer Passage of Arms. She has remained part of Millenium Break during this time, but in the years between PARTIZAN and PALISADE she did not work directly with Brnine. Also, a spark in her core has awakened magic within her frame, granting her arcane powers.
