“
I think it's really hard to understand that something incredibly powerful can also be… just as vulnerable [...] as anybody else.”
They marked scars of light in pitch; born in fiercest purpose, and beheld as the signet sealed upon our pact, (known as ⸢Signet⸣ for short) is the Onomastic,[1] played by Janine Hawkins. Once the Excerpt of Belgard, ⸢Signet⸣'s divine was killed when she abandoned her during a crisis and they prioritized repairing others over repairing herself.
⸢Signet⸣ has a Sanctuary located in the cockpit of Belgard. It is a large and open space with tethers that hold her more-or-less in the middle, and she can navigate it acrobatically to interact with an interface there.
The Iconoclasts hunt her, as she is the last Excerpt of a third-generation Divine,[1] and they look like "the past and future of humanity... but they have no faces and are made of strange materials."
Her jam is attending to her duties as part of her religion, because she used to pilot a Divine that is no longer around. People like her are in short supply. She has been put out as someone who can connect others to the faith, because there are not many points of connection left.[1]
She also has a cybernetic ear that can amplify and intercept transmissions and ambient sound.[2]
Appearance
Pre-Miracle
⸢Signet⸣ is described as very feminine, very decorative, and lean, due to her acrobatic fighting style. She is handsome—Janine's faceclaim for her is Yuga Yamato with long blonde hair. She wears fancy long robes with vertically oriented crowns, such as the Kokoshnik tiara, or the swan crown worn by Miss Universe Vietnam 2015. Her style is "back and up and out."[3]
During the Beloved Dust's visit to the Steady, she is as dressed-down as she gets; i.e., no crown, her hair is tightly wrapped up (French twist, lots of little pins), and she is wearing a dark blue coat like a cape (in the Thyrsus style) over a dark blue dress with cream or gold accents, and some tights.[4]
Since ⸢Signet⸣ was around for Belgard's death, ⸢Signet⸣ is at least 250 years old at the start of Twilight Mirage, but does not look it.
