Seducing and persuading

Tofyte Scintillait is one of the four main characters and secondary antagonist in the Scenes web-comic. She presents as an anti-hero during the events of Chapter One, and is mostly seen partying, stealing, and generally causing mayhem in Dysinnia City. Her main source of income is through her jewel thievery, gambling, and extortion.

Her life can appear as though she is busy, popular, and has a sizable friend group. In actuality, she lives a fairly lonely life in a small apartment in her city. Nothing truly belongs to her in Dysinnia City, and people that hang out with her do so out of fear of physical harm. Before joining the main group of travelers, Tofyte suffered with extreme anxiety, loneliness, and anger-control issues. Those qualities are lessened as she warms up to those in the group.

Tofyte lacks any knowledge of her family or where she comes from. Her earliest childhood memories seemed to have faded with age. She can, however, remember her life with the only friend she's ever had. These memories are one of the few things that can break down Tofyte's emotional barriers.

## Appearance

Viata is a a fairly tall, slim young maren with apricot and yellow-toned horns, and deep purple eyes. She's very fair-skinned and always wears thick, black eye makeup with red lipstick. Her signature accessory is a red polka dot bow that she wears tied around the base of her horns. They have dark spots and two bead-like decorations that stem from the base of the ribbon. Her horns are a kind of rhombus shape that extend from both the bottom and top and then transition into a concaved tip with swirly strands at the end.

Her outfit is inspired by the creation of the women's pantsuit in 1932. However, her jacket is actually a custom tux cut into a crop-top with gold detailing at the bottom. It has a deep V-neck cut with a non-collared, white button up shirt underneath. She wears a black choker necklace around it. Under both the shirt and tuxedo jacket is a black, pinstriped romper that serve as shorts. She wears red and light pink striped thigh-high boots with Ideya detailing on the vamps.

## Personality

Viata is energetic, full of laughter, and an excellent team player. Her main goals usually surround helping others to achieve their dreams and fulfill ambitions. Although that is usually a satisfying task for Viata, often times her own ambitions can be pushed aside because of it. She also has a persuasive aura about her; using her potent positivity for the greater good or to motivate someone to face the odds. Sometimes, though, this convincing nature can get the best of her when she oversteps boundaries by pushing her own thoughts and feelings on other's situations. This frequently backfires on her, resulting in faulty communication.

When around her parents, Viata is the perfect little daughter they've always wanted: well-behaved, studious, and disengaged from boys. Most of the time Viata enjoys such a fast-paced life style. But now and again a feeling of disappointment can creep up, eating at her insecurities that result from her fragile self-confidence. Her friends would often describe her as an emotional glass cannon.

After meeting Azadeh, Viata has changed somewhat. She's become more resourceful, grounded, and mindful of how her actions affect others. However, that doesn't stop the two from bouncing off of each other in a very comedic way. With Azadeh being 'chill', laid back, and emotionally stable and the opposite being true for Viata.

## Relationships

### Azadeh

Viata meets Azadeh when she is transported into the Ultraviolet Forest, where Azadeh was also brought. With both of them being lost, they formed a kind of partnership and eventual friendship in order to work together and find a way back to Albagan. They both share a mutual interest in each other's past lives back home and share stories of various situations that occurred. As mentioned, they bounce off of each other very well, personality-wise. Azadeh is relaxed and level-headed, albeit a little strange. Whereas Viata is peppy, energetic, but a bit sensitive when it comes to other people's judgements about her. Since meeting, Azadeh and Viata have become best friends and are determined to explore the dark new world that they're living in together.

### Kabir

Since meeting Kabir, Viata has taken a liking to Kabir's otherwise closed off personality. Things had started out awkward between the two very different people...............

## Depiction in the series

Celsius is portrayed as a rude, selfish villain within the Scenes universe. She is often seen as a joke by others following her first defeat in season one. Since then no one has ever taken her quite as seriously. Regardless of what others think, she is persistent in her efforts to make a name for herself. She undergoes many physical 'upgrades' and transformations (especially in season eight) while her personality remains the same.

Aside from these changes, Celsius also has a secondary identity known as Excelis, a Plevermare tourist who she uses as a guise to fool the Nightmaren firework squad to quit right before Hunter's big festival begins. This causes disarray and confusion on the day of the event. She is able to transform into this character through the powers of the Knight Persona Mask, which can allow the user to take any physical form that your heart desires. When transformed, Celsius's raspy voice and echoing vocal effect is lessened in order to help her disguise seem more trustworthy. She also transforms into a maren-hungry, raging ice dragon in order to steal the Cyan Ideya from Abiria and Aria.

## Backstory

Viata was an altruistic gal and the daughter of the Marees, Malo and Marzena, who come from a historically wealthy Welsh-French background. Her roots growing up were in a small market town before moving across the globe with her expatriate parents to live lives of luxury among the rest of upper-class civilization. Viata grew up home-schooled by her mother and aunt, and learned valuable life lessons from her father. She also hosted a multitude of parties at her condo during her early teenage years. In recent years, her main goal is to use the lessons she's learned, her financial status, and community influence for the greater good.

In her personal time, she considers herself an activist; using her trust-funded life to donate to women's shelters, taking advantage of social media to form research groups on local issues, and living a green, environmentally friendly life the best that she can. However, if anyone were to confront her about this behavior in person, she would simply cite the fact that she loves her community and wouldn't claim the title of a "dedicated activist".

### Main Series Timeline

Prior to ending up where she is now, she assisted and acted in the Albagan Guardianship Program (A.G.P.), and put in months of strenuous dedication to assistant life at Plevermare headquarters. In short, she's done a lot. But these days, thing's aren't looking too hot for her..
