Thisbe is a character in PARTIZAN and PALISADE. She is a synthetic person 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 others, and has a scar across her face, from when she was dug up. The scar is 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.
Personality
Drive
- Find the farmers of her planet and return.[1]
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.[1]

Mech
Thisbe's mech is called Mow. It's very big and it has the build of a gorilla - top-heavy, with big arms. There's a little horn-like protrusion on the back that she hangs onto. It's kind of battered, but lovingly maintained; it's seen better days, but it's washed and waxed.
Trivia
- Thisbe's voice cast if PARTIZAN were adapted into live action is Gillian Anderson.
