She has pink eyes with no irises and pointed ears. She often wears a topless white sweater and blue skirt, as well as white boots.

## History

### Early Life

Solace was born in the recent past. She eventually became friends with Genesis Aeon.

### Joining OPIA

During his time in Cialla, the OPIA AI Cam became good friends with Solace and Genesis. After he returned to Fuse City, they decided to come with him. Lace joined OPIA as a medical assistant, and spent most of the first day following Ridill Arondite and Gene around the facility. The same night, she joined Ridill's "Water Team" to combat a Demonic invasion. She assisted Willow Wisp in combatting the Court of Logic. When she attempted to help Willow lift a massive Demonic train, she was carried away as Logic revealed the train was outfitted with wings. In a last ditch attempt, she and Willow managed to successfully disable the train and throw it off the tracks. She then helped Willow return to the battlefield.

After the battle, she met with various FLOW agents to commune with their Reflections. She specifically noted that Willow's first Reflection, Keyhole, wanted to speak with her more deeply, and asked her to meet with her at Darkside later in the night. She visited Ace Galatine after he awoke, climbing on his chest and listening for his Reflection. Ace was disturbed by this, so Lace had him push her off, which caused her to bounce around the room like a balloon. She asked about Seagazer, which she said "missed him", and he assumed that Seagazer was with his Flame in the Derelict. After Ridill, Arg0s, Mic, and Willow arrived, Ace called Solace a "Balloon Bimbo", which she saw as rude. Much later, she met with Willow and facilitated direct communion between her and Keyhole.

The next day, she greeted Ace in his hospital bed as he awoke. She informed him that, after he recieved his protective suit, he would be sent on a patrol to see how fit he was for active duty. She then asked him to meet with her when he had the time to discuss Seagazer. After Ridill and Treble arrived, she left with Gene to the OPIA greenhouse, where she gave Ace Pureflame supplements. Ace then asked her to go on patrol with him, which she was surprised to hear, but gladly accepted. While on patrol in the Abandoned District, Ace suddenly ran away from her and ended up in a nearby lake. Lace recognized this as Ace attempting to protect her from the violent consciousness that hides behind his Formless Style, and was impressed by Ace's level of self control and forethought in deciding to get as much distance between him and her as possible. After flying over to Ace, she decided to inform him about the true nature of Seagazer, as well as inform him that all Reflections originate from the Second Tormented.

### Global Offensive

During the preparations for OPIA's worldwide deployment against an international Demonic invasion, Lace helped Danger find a Reflection to wield that wouldn't reject him. Later that day, she used a Reflection surrogate to help Basil speak to Collapse of the Living. She asked Basil to sneak Collapse out of OPIA to go on her mission, as she thought it would be good for the Reflection's health. After Basil and Cam left with Collapse, she spent some time alone in a VR recreation of Collapse's past, wondering if the events unfolding "weren't really a love story after all".

## Abilities

Solace can walk on water. She is incredibly lightweight to the point that when pushed, she will slowly float rather than simply moving back or falling.

### Reflection

Solace is a Reflection user. Her Reflection is unknown, but it takes the form of a Flame-eating halberd.

### ESP

Solace is an ESPer. Her ESP, "Heaven's Weapons Dealer", allows her to talk directly to the consciousnesses within people's Reflections.
