Moon

**Moon** was a female Dremirian member of the Dawns, a group of privateers and freedom fighters who fought against tyranny and corruption throughout the Cassiopeia Galaxy. Originally from the planet Dremirus, Moon later lived on the Solitude Plaza space station for a considerable amount of time, alongside the rest of her team and friends. She was the unofficial second-in-command of the Dawns, having worked together with her close friend Annesidora to lead the group. Moon was well-known and well-respected among the inhabitants of Solitude Plaza.

## Biography

### Early Life

In 5748 ASA, Moon was born on the planet Dremirus. She was born out of the same molten crystal well as many other of the aides that tended to Castle Rhadamanthus in the Dremirian capital city of Geras. As an aide of the palace, she tended to the building by keeping it clean and proper, as well as assisting politicians with simple needs within the castle grounds. This peaceful way of life was the way that Moon lived for over one hundred years, and so the fond memories of her time working at the palace—along with her neat and tidy tendencies—stuck with her for her entire life.

### Taken From Dremirus

In 5850 ASA, Moon was one of many victims of a Praeliorian attack on the city of Geras. As Geras and Dremirus as whole had over a thousand years since the end of the War of the Crystals to fortify itself from attacks, casualties were minimized, but not all of them were prevented. The hunt resulted in the deaths of nearly half a hundred Dremirians, and the subsequent capture of a dozen. Out of these captured Dremirians was Annesidora, a Dremirian only 15 years older than Moon that performed for the Operatta Theatre.

When the captured Dremirians were brought to the planet of Praelior, the heart of the Praeliorian Empire, they were given a chance to live as servants to the Praeliorians or be killed and ground into glittering dust to be spread across the barren lands of the planet. To the surprise of the Praeliorians, the majority of the Dremirians captees chose death instead of eternal servitude, adamant in their position to die as brave individuals rather than be enslaved. In contrast, Moon and Ann chose servitude over death, but the two of them had different reasons for doing so.

### Prisoners of Praelior

Shortly after making their decision, Moon and Ann were given to the Praeliorian elite Drucelesa Strónt to act as her personal servants. While Moon decided on eternal servitude out of desperation to save herself from execution, Ann was set on finding a way to break free from the chains that Praelior placed upon the both of them, as well as the chains placed upon their fellow Dremirians who were also held captive as servants by the Praeliorian Empire.

During her time of servitude, Ann bonded greatly with Moon, breaking Moon out of the reclusive shell that she fell into dangerously after her initial capture. The more the two of them stayed close to one another as servants, the closer they became as friends and the more confident Moon grew in the idea of an escape. They discreetly studied the fighting styles of training Praeliorian soldiers on days that Drucelesa Stront visited Praeliorian training facilities. They secretly practiced their fighting capabilities whenever Drucelesa was asleep.

Together, the two Dremirians worked out a plan to escape their servitude and essential imprisonment on Praelior. They also accounted for the possibility of breaking out any other Dremirians that they were able to save along the way.

#### Escape

In their eventual escape, Moon and Ann managed to save themselves and a handful of other Dremirian prisoners, although both of them would regret not being able to save more people than they did. Their escape forced them into violence in order to achieve their freedom. Their first obstacle was Drucelesa Strónt, who held imperial custody over both of them. Together, Ann and Moon killed Drucelesa in her sleep, using powerful crystal magic to catch her by complete surprise. Along with this first murder, Moon recalls Ann having to kill a number of Praeliorian soldiers and guards in order to protect her.

Moon and Ann, along with the other Dremirian escapees, managed to hijack an imperial Praeliorian ship and jump into hyperspace, away from the forsaken Praeliorian Remnants and towards a better future for them all.

## Personality and Traits

### Physical Appearance

Moon was a Dremirian woman with bluish, lavender-colored skin and vivid blue eyes with white pupils. Her hair of crystal threads was colored with a variety of light blues., pinks, and lavenders. She had bright cheek marks colored white, pink, blue, and lavender, much like her hair.

After an incident with the Praeliorians, Moon had replacement legs completely made of sturdy, dark-colored diamonds called bort. Moon took much time to get accustomed to her new legs, rendering her in a wheelchair for quite some time.

### Personality

While recognized as a freedom fighter, many also recognized Moon as being rather by-the-book, at least when she wanted to be. A clever and thoughtful soul, Moon always considered countless possibilities when a plan was made amongst the rest of the Dawns. She tried to look at every possible angle so that little failure could be had, and she hated jeopardizing the rest of her team and friends. She viewed the Dawns as a family and loved them all dearly, and many saw her take on a rather motherly approach with what others would consider her constant nagging or worrying. It was because of this genuine care for others that made Moon a rather empathetic person.

Along with her priority over team safety and recklessness-prevention, Moon disliked dirtiness and was often the one who would clean the team base—or urge others to clean up their spaces. Some saw her as somewhat of a perfectionist because of this cleanliness. Despite this, she was not afraid to get her hands dirty during a fight, if need be. She saw the murder of enemies, no matter how dire the situation, to be a last resort. She was often tested by this belief when hunted down by Praeliorian soldiers.

Moon was a considerably knowledgeable and well-read individual. She was considered one of the smartest members of the Dawns, having known many things about the galaxy as she, Ann, and Lilian were well-traveled. She had an appreciation for the arts, as most Dremirians often did, and loved thoughtfully observing the art of different cultures throughout the universe. Some members of the Dawns, like Mai and Amber, often teased her about her library-like mind.

## Skills and Abilities

Along with Ann, Moon was skilled in combat, well-versed in a variety of different attack and defense methods. She and Ann knew very well how to use Dremirian magic to their advantage, with the easy creation of crystalline weapons and barriers alike. While she was well-versed in the use of various different weapons, Moon mostly used crystalline sabres and particularly liked using war fans.

Since Ann had a background as a dancer, she also possessed a particular finesse and agility that greatly helped her evade attacks and strikes during battle. This made up for her physical fragility as a being made of nothing else but crystal and liquid magic.
