Neon (Stranger of Paradise)

Neon is a character from Stranger of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin. She is a warrior whose party fell in their quest to defeat Chaos, who took the form of Garland-turned-Chaos to give the world a chance to strike them down. She carries a crystal orb and joins Jack Garland in his quest.
==History==
Unlike the rest of her party, who are otherworldly agents from "Paradise", a realm used by Lufenia for their "Strangers" project, Neon is a human from Cornelia. Prenatally, she was genetically modified by the Lufenians in an attempt to birth a Warrior of Light, copying the methods of another dimension. Astos gave her a dark crystal as part of his and Jack's plans to defeat the Lufenians, a plan which she and Jack would forget during the endless cycle of time loops.
Neon realized that the being called "Chaos" did not exist, that he was a fantasy created by the people to blame everything wrong in the world on. She wished to become Chaos herself, hoping that heroes would come down and kill her, and bring hope to the world by destroying the people's greatest enemy. To that end, she took on the form of "Chaos Advent".
Jack, Jed, and Ash defeated Chaos Advent, revealing Neon. Neon showed her crystal to the party and joined them. Once Neon learned the truth of Lufenia's attempt to create a utopia by manipulating and subjugating Cornelia, she supported her companions' goal of stopping Lufenia's plans by turning Jack into Chaos and eventually became the fire fiend Marilith.
==Characteristics==
===Appearance===
Neon has short gray hair and lavender eyes. She wears a short black sailor style mini dress reminiscent of Japanese school uniforms with a gray bow. Her arms and legs are bandaged and she wears white sneakers.
=== Personality ===
As Jack's party first encounter Neon, she has lost hope in the world and the idea of chaos as a physical construct, allowing herself to succumb to the darkness and become a monster. As the party continues on, Neon reveals a more lighthearted and joking side to her. She exhibits mannerisms of a younger person as one of her attack quotes are "smashy smashy", and the fact that she refers to a Coeurl as a "kitty".
Neon likes cats and dislikes snakes.
== Behind the scenes ==
A friendly Bomb by the name of Bang explains Neon's origin story, in which the Lufenians, drawing inspiration from an experiment from another dimension, genetically modified her while she was in her mother's womb in an attempt to create an artificial Warrior of Light. Though not directly stated, it can be reasonably inferred that the experiment was based on or, at least, an allusion to Project S, Shinra Electric Power Company's experiment in Final Fantasy VII intended to create an artificial Cetra.
