Shabon

Shabon is a core ally in the third Act of The Rift Maker. The estranged princess of a distant kingdom, Shabon left her coddled and oppressive abode to explore a more lively and exciting side of life. Her race, the Suds, tote bodies comprised almost exclusively of soap and water. This allows Shabon to use a wide range of bubble-based abilities for both offense and defense.
== History ==
Shabon was born into a life of nobility, belonging to the royal Dama clan. The rulers of the Foamland kingdom boast much esteem for their family name, and defend their dignity with utmost perseverance. Pride in one's self is not necessarily a bad thing, but it can become stifling if this defense of one's dignity extends to even your kin. From a young age, the expectations and responsibilities put onto her family weighed heavily on Shabon's young soul. It was suffocating; any attempt to deviate even slightly from the expected norm would be faced with punishment. Over time, Shabon gained a rebellious streak, more often disobeying direct commands from her parents. The more her parents reprimanded her, the more she desired to rebel. It created a positive feedback loop where both parties grew increasingly bitter. It came to a head when, tired of their daughter's continued disobedience, the king and queen of the Dama clan decided to marry Shabon off to a neighboring kingdom, hoping to rid themselves of their belligerent spawn while establishing an ally. 
Shabon had contemplated running away for a long time, but the prospect of the potential dangers for someone of her status out on her lonesome deterred her from following through. However, the opportunity presented itself at the eleventh hour, almost to Shabon's rescue. The night before she was to be married, Shabon found herself being kidnapped by two thieves who managed to infiltrate her royal quarters. Taking her to a nondisclosed location, these thieves were hired by an enemy of the Dama clan, who wished to cause disarray amidst the house with the kidnapping of the princess. Though they completed their contract, the two thieves realized they got more than they bargained for when the princess actually expressed delight in being kidnapped. She pleaded with the two thieves to take her as far away from Foamland as possible. The thieves certainly did not plan for the princess' approval of her kidnapping, let alone her request to be displaced further from her home. However, the contract didn't specify what to do after they had kidnapped the princess, and they certainly had no reason to dispose of her, so they agreed to take her in. Shabon from that point on slowly grew into her own as a member of her team, completely indifferent to the predicted upheaval that resulted within the kingdom of Foamland.
== Abilities ==
=== Bubble Body ===
As a Sud, Shabon's skillset revolves entirely around the creation and manipulation of bubbles. The things Shabon can do with bubbles is virtually limitless; to begin, she can divide her body into multiple smaller bubbles, which each can fly off independently from each other while still retaining a single mind (think of it like a hive mind). This allows her to perform long-distance reconaissance in multiple directions. Apart from that, Shabon can create large, inanimate bubbles that can hold objects in place, surround a body as a shield, and create a temporary floatation device. These bubbles are surprisingly resilient to damage, and can take an assault before popping. Shabon can manually pop these bubbles at will. Shabon herself is also resilient to blunt force damage, but strong enough attacks are able to pop her as well. Shabon is rendered helpless when she is popped, but she is able to restore herself after a moment of time, with the process speeding up if she is able to reach a body of water.
