## Appearance

Phoebe, being of royal descent, doesn't wear much armor besides a little golden breastplate. She has favor towards anything that is blue or gold. Phoebe has jade (green) eyes and jade (black) hair. Every 100 years she changes her appearance slightly to make it seem like she is a different person, so that locals don't realize she is an immortal.

## Personality

Phoebe loves magical items. Phoebe has been in search for any magical item that can resurrect her father and mother, but has yet to find one other than the potion of everlasting life, which she drank.

Phoebe cares little for her construct, Nic, at all. She really only sees him only as a tool for her desires.

Phoebe is pretty selfish because she was a little spoiled as a child, and she often gets rather lost in thought, like she is thinking about something constantly.

However, despite all of her faults, Phoebe is portrayed as a selfish princess with many tricks up her sleeve. During the second time skip, when Diath has a conversation with Phoebe about her backstory. Phoebe revealed that she has a soft spot for family considering that she had a close relationship with her parents before they died.

## Relationships

### Allies

#### Nic

Most of the party treats Nic as a burden. Phoebe denies that he is a burden because Nic is her creation. Now that Phoebe knows how to battle for herself, Nic is no longer necessary for her protection.

#### Cynthia and Ignifer

Phoebe, Cynthia, and Ignifer have a pretty close friendship being that they are the only girls employed in the Knight's Guard, in addition to all having some sort of chaotic nature.

#### Diath

Diath and Phoebe get along rather well due to the fact that Diath is generally a likable person. Diath polevaulted through her window just to talk to her, which Phoebe respects. They are also both smiths, in a way.

#### Alizabeth

When they first fought, Alizabeth insulted Phoebe every time she opened her mouth. Phoebe finds her a brat, but appreciates her skill at such a young age. Phoebe sympathies with Alizabeth considering how her father also died. Phoebe also learned recently that Op is Alizabeth's father so she feels really bad for Alizabeth now more than ever.

#### Aladix

Phoebe and Aladix have a mutual distaste of one another. This is partly due to Nic's presence, because Aladix despises Nic. Phoebe hates how Aladix abuses his deity's powers and she has never seen Aladix pray to his deity. In her eyes, Aladix has no mercy for anyone killing them without hesitation unless he finds them worthy to be his slave. Aladix has disagreed with many of Phoebe's ideas which displeases her.

Soon after, while the Guard was flying on its back, the Roc got struck by lightning, sending Aladix and Phoebe flying off. Darrow narrowly caught Aladix, but nobody could save Phoebe. After crashing into the ground, Phoebe was met by a woman named Subarashi. Subarashi took Phoebe into her cottage in the forest and gave her a place to rest. While Phoebe was there she had wild nightmares where she saw her entire group turn on her. Subarashi healed her and told Phoebe she landed in the Forest of Visions and people who are in it see visions of the future. Phoebe started controlling Nic and fought a Green Hag. The Hag pulled out a Hag Eye and called out for someone named Oboroshi. Nic took the Hag Eye and Subarashi revealed herself to be a Night Hag. Phoebe fought the Night Hag and managed to charm her. Oboroshi led Phoebe to her magical items and while on their trek they found Diath, Lavernicus, Nic, and Icarus in a cave. The Knight's Guard all met up and Darrow attempted to kill Oboroshi.

Darrow promptly killed Oboroshi.

### Mountain of Certain Death

In the Mountain of Certain Death, Phoebe, Cynthia, and Ignifer fought a White Dragon. They saved Tim from being killed by the Dragon and he helped them fight the monster. Phoebe was able to aid in the defeat of the dragon by making Ignifer's arrows explosive. The White Dragon came back to life and was defeated with Ignifer's coins. The group continued down the pathway and encountered a Young Red Dragon who was guarding a chest. Phoebe devised a scheme to beat the Dragon.
