Verriere Refrakin

Verriere Refrakin is a character from the series Subrift Tales. She is the embodiment of a Subrift of glass, who took on a human shape to get revenge on the humans who kept "invading" her domain. After getting to know them, however, she came to love humans and decided not to return to her home.
==Appearance==
Verriere's body consists of pale blue glass that takes on the shape of a human. She has long "hair" and blank eyes, and while they are technically part of her natural body, she appears to wear a lattice-patterned skirt, slippers, a skin-tight vest and a layered cloak over her chest and shoulders.
==Personality==
Verriere acts in a mysterious manner, making cryptic remarks due to not having a perfect grip on English, and often peppering her speech with an indecipherable language that is presumably her native tongue. She is known to tease people often, usually as a joke, though with her confusing actions some people take them seriously and are terrified by her. It is worth noting that her outward actions have changed little since she had a grudge against humanity, though her intents were far more dangerous at that time.
Verriere is known to be insistent on learning more about personal matters, primarily because she'd like to learn more about the human world. When she is talking to people in a more serious way she drops her mysterious act, becoming more direct and open to them.
==Abilities==
===Manipulating Glass===
Being an embodiment of mirror glass, Verriere has some control over all kinds of glass. She is able to contribute some of her own glass to any kind of broken glass to repair it, and rapidly regrow the glass afterwards. She can also force glass to break in order to form a weapon to attack enemies with, though she doesn't do this often as she struggles putting it back together. Her own glass can also be reshaped to a minor extent, such as by shaping her arms into blades or firing bits of her "hair" at enemies.
===Manipulating Light===
As a result of being made of glass, Verriere is always picking up light from outside, though it often immediately leaves. As a result of reflection and refraction, the light in her immediate proximity often seems to go haywire, creating various optical illusions. By using this light she can fire rays of pure white or rainbow-coloured energy at her enemies, or amplify the light to improve her vision.
==Story==
Verriere was originally a spirit living in a Subrift on the inside of a mirror, made entirely of glass. She was the only inhabitant of this world, and though she had no body she was happy to watch the light that reflected off the glass as it entered the mirror. People from the outside world would often come to enter the Subrift, and generally take their time to leave as it was one of few completely safe Subrifts - some would even steal some of the mirror glass for themselves. This annoyed Verriere greatly, and eventually she chose to break out of her world, taking on the shape of a human with some of the glass around her, and exact her revenge on humanity.
Her revenge plan went by slowly, as she was more concerned with learning more about the humans so she could get closer and destroy them more easily. This included teaching herself their language. After some twenty years, she met Gilbert, a teenage boy who had escaped from a Subrift not long ago with his body slowly being turned into glass. Due to being somewhat similar to each other, Verriere was able to connect with Gilbert and the two became very close - Gilbert, over this time, was able to show Verriere that the humans meant no harm in coming into her mirror world, a statement that was the prime contributor to her grudge against humans fading.
Not long after this realisation, Gilbert's curse got the better of him and his whole body was turned into glass - though unlike Verriere he was unable to move in this body. After a night of sorrow, Verriere moved Gilbert's petrified body into her glass world, and decided to remain in the world of humans as a result of her newfound love for them.

==Etymology==
Verriere is derived from "verre", French for glass, and from "verrière", another French word which can either mean "glass" or "canopy".
Her surname, Refrakin, is derived from "refraction", which is where light changes direction as it passes through a different medium (most notably glass), and "kin", which means "family".
==Trivia==
*Verriere has been a concept since July 2019. She was first designed as a standalone OC, and was later considered being repurposed as a villain in one of Mirror's games, before she was made to be a protagonist in Subrift Tales.
*Verriere gave herself her name and surname on the spot when she was asked what they were by Gilbert.
*Verriere's older designs feature runes circling around her head. These were scrapped for unknown reasons.
