TRISTANNA-651

## Tristanna Laurent

* White Lotus
* TRISTANNA-651

**White Lotus**, formerly *TRISTANNA-651* is a renowned G/NEX warrior. Proudly a Losterian, she fights to liberate the planet from the megacorporation and her own country, Losteria; With a combination of sheer will, and skill. She possessed a radical way of fighting the opposition, the use of levitating blades that she can control at will.

In the end of a horrible war, she severed ties with the resistance movement, but White Lotus still defends the Sacred Lands from all invaders.

## Biography

### Background

Tristanna Laurent was an ordinary girl from Diamatti, in the province of Grunthel in the city of Naymori. She, like the others, witnessed immense bloodshed as a result of the Nordics' invasion of their land with the goal of putting an end to a mystery evil with insurmountable power. As a result of witnessing her people perish, her trauma forces her to use her own practised art as a sort of fighting technique, aiming to create a new type of combat if she ever puts foot in the shoes of a Losterian hero. She recognised that even the Nordics are honourable despite being innate warmongers that seek to rule the realm.

The Nordic occupation of Losteria produced many heroes, none more popular than young Tristanna of Grunthel. Trained in the ancient dances of her province, she adapted her art for war, using the graceful and carefully practised movements to levitate a host of deadly blades. After finally proving herself as a fighter, she was ready to embed herself into the role of a resistance leader and a figurehead, and to this day remains dedicated to the preservation of her homeland.

She especially bonds with Yi'San Dihail, a Chazys swordsman who became a Losterian warrior in his own right, and Shiro, who found peace as he became a Losterian citizen and warrior after being accused of murder and a series of horrifying accidents in his homeland.

Unlikely, despite the occupation of the Nordics into Losteria, She develops respect for the Nordics, particularly the *Raging Goliath*; Craig Taggart.

### A New Life in Technological Odds

TRISTANNA-651, like HAYABUSA-096, was able to defect PROJECT very quickly. Muldoon Lundgren, in particular, was so disappointed with her technology that she was immediately sacked from the megacorporation, making her an outcast; he intended to make her into a cyborg, but she has successfully dodged the transformation process. As a result, she returns to her home nation, Losteria, to use her newly acquired technology to help her people and serve as a role model for everyone, not only in Losteria, but throughout the entire globe. She was unable to return to her country due to the massive presence of the megacorporation's military in the country.

Like ASHE-159, EQUINOX-612, SCYLLA-028, BRIENNE-218, VATROX, GRIMM, LILIAN-395 and PSYLOCKE-832, TRISTANNA-651 is only equipped with hi-tech armour, not turned into a cyborg, which she found out in the drafts.

### A Call to Arms: Apathetic

Surprisingly, she clearly looks disinterested upon learning about the Riots of 2999 or even the revolution known as A Call to Arms, dismissing them as "*dramatic*". TRISTANNA-651 also learned about ASHE-159, the rebel commander who seemed familiar to her. She does not intend to join the resistance, as the country of Losteria has their own, and instead aims to halt PROJECT corporation in her own way. That was also the case when she acquired PSYLOCKE-832's trust and formed a professional connection.

Notably, TRISTANNA-651 turned down SCYLLA-028's request to join the resistance mainly due to the fact that she didn't want to violate her own principles or her parents' wishes, hence she stayed pacifistic during the planetwide riots in 2999. However, some say she occasionally exchanged messages with SCYLLA-028, which earns the curiosity of FIONA-384. HAYABUSA-096 is eager to see her join, knowing her in the past as a warrior. SHIRO-113 clearly seem to know her very well, as he was also a Losterian hero.

Tristanna, in particular, was able to elude PROJECT's forces and subsequently make her way to Naymori, allowing her to free an infinite number of members of her own group, The Virtue. Following that, she was able to single-handedly liberate the Placidium, allowing the rebels to use it as a fortress, and rid the nation of the megacorporation's attempts to deforest the nation as she was able to win back the Pacita Farmland, and the magics of the Sacred Lands provided assistance, allowing the megacorporation to lose 75% of all their control in the entire Losteria, the only region left they had was Ceyrehelian. She actually didn't inform Shiro or Yi regarding this, wanting to keep it as a surprise.

### PROJECT-G/NEX War

Known as a non-cyborg defector of PROJECT, she is widely targeted by the corporation's forces as her lack of cybernetics put her to the limits of her skill, knowing that her armoured suit can only last for so long.

#### Rampancy: A Change of Mind

TRISTANNA-651 learned from PSYLOCKE-832's recon of Technovolk that the resistance was battling PROJECT's most powerful mecha until another one, known as PROJECT TAGGART, inflicted significant property damage, forcing TAGGART and OBELISK to clash. She concludes that TAGGART was a terrifying design, but it has flawed programming because it has sentient-level programming that was designed to mimic Craig Taggart's behavioural patterns and personality. Due to this, she has an assumption that he is piloting the mecha.

TRISTANNA-651 leaps atop BRONZAMITE-625's car mode after the resistance has withdrawn from the scene, and upon finally meeting the resistance leader, and recognises fellow Losterian warrior HAYABUSA-096 despite his cybernetic look; And shakes her hands with a fellow native hero now known as SHIRO-113. Then she turns to the leader, ASHE-159, formerly known as Ashe. Upon returning to the Panamoan Republic, The rebels gave the leader a moment as she turns to converse with her. As it turns out, Ashe had an emotional confession to her, largely revealing that she knew her in the past, how Tristanna aided her, and how she is now helping the rebels in their quest to destroy the megacorporation.

#### The COALESCENCE: Secret Forces

Obviously, she hasn't participated on the resistance's operation in Rutherland (Which ASHE-159 respected her decision), nor the chase that has been stopped. Following that, TRISTANNA-651 has chosen to meet with PSYLOCKE-832 someplace amid the ruins of Losteria after she successfully recovered the DATA's operational chip with the assistance of VI-516. However, the two had made an arrangement to meet without any armour. When they arrived meet, she is taken aback by the fact that she lacks cybernetics. The latter confirms that more than a quarter of PROJECT's warriors, such as ASHE-159, BRIENNE-218, and BEN-612, are not transformed into cyborgs. They talked about their collaboration, and TRISTANNA-651 suggested that she should help the resistance on a daily basis. PSYLOCKE-832 shrugged, as she already did prior.

A drone, however, saw them after they made tremendous efforts to avoid detection. As a result, when prior attempts failed, a small patrol of Command Line forces was dispatched to capture them for interrogation. PSYLOCKE-832 and TRISTANNA-651 were tasked to be captured by OLIVEIRI-709. As a result, the two collaborated to get around them (But also fight them as a last resort). Despite the duo's best attempts, she ends up getting shot in the chest by OLIVEIRI-709. However, PSYLOCKE-832 quickly (Despite the plasma being extremely powerful) saves her by treating her wounds, subduing the latter with an electric round, and leave the place with her motorcycle.

To make it not dramatic, She requests the latter to disappear when entering the resistance's headquarters. She accepts the requests before TRISTANNA-651 hugs the elite assassin, who shown annoyance, but quickly accepts and smiles, knowing that they trust each other, and have been developing a good friendship. SCYLLA-028 was quick to notice this and teases them, claiming that they are lesbians, to which TRISTANNA-651 merely shrugged at her with a long face and sat down in relief. She actually admits that Rachelle is very attractive, in fact. SCYLLA-028 shrugs, saying that it is quite obvious.

#### Going All Out - The Blades of PROJECT

During the *PROJECT-G/NEX War*, it has been known that Losteria has suffered the most against the megacorporation's oppression, destroying their way of life, and ruining their future. Now it is up for Tristanna to liberate the country in her own ways, gathering all the help she needs. As she reunited her own resistance to fight PROJECT, an unstoppable machine has caused her a death that was later reversed, allowing her to become the **White Lotus**.

##### Losterian Colonisation

As she remembered the traumatic event, TRISTANNA-651 snaps out of the horrible flashback, bringing SHIRO-113 and HAYABUSA-096 with her to complete her mission to liberate Losteria. They have decided to operate like assassins, maximising the use of stealth as they now enter the region of Ceyrahelian, the western side of Losteria. Their use of infiltration, deception and assassination tactics have effectively allowed them to stay off the radar while cleansing the cities of Futurama, Crescent, Giganteum, Suibur, Slesmont, Feton, Tramont and Zroset. Should they fight them head on they would be killed with ease, which explained their stealthier approach. They rested for a while as the entire week they have spent clearing the Western side of Losteria left them exhausted, minus SHIRO-113 and HAYABUSA-096.

##### Revengeance

Tristanna knew it is the chance to finally remove the megacorporation's grip of the country, seeing this as the day she had long desired. When they arrived in Naymori, the capital, PROJECT forces were already patiently awaiting for them, with all of their weapons pointed at them. SHIRO-113 defensively walks in front of their army and draws his sword, ready to die for her, whilst HAYABUSA-096 tactically considers their chances of success by formulating dozens of combat scenarios, hoping that they would be successful through the use of wits over brute force. However, the Virtue rebels charged without warning.

TRISTANNA-651's group is quickly dying due to a lack advanced weapons; the swift arrival of armoured vehicles further makes matters worse. As a smart tactic, she made them attack strategically, avoid fighting straightforwardly and greatly demonstrated her skill by killing hundreds of PROJECT soldiers with her blades. However, a gigantic figure arrives, forcing the Command Line forces to back up as the fearsome PROJECT TAGGART runs at them and quickly overpowers **TRISTANNA-651**, swatting her away like a fly, being reduced to a pile of blood. The Virtue rebels appeared to halt their momentum as they saw their leader die right in front of their eyes.

Death appeared to be waiting for her, as she is unable to comprehend what has just occurred owing to her entire body being crushed into a lump of crimson pulp. As a result, her group quickly formed upon her corpse, and created an all around defence, having picked up advanced ballistic shields and plasma spears found from the enemies. It appears there is no hope, at all.

##### Rise of the White Lotus

Despite their predicament, EQUINOX-612 has effectively revived Tristanna as he reverse the time of her death, allowing her to be reformed. The results of the revival has effectively given her an upgraded suit, blades and changed her looks, turning the hair into silver, as she exited the shielding, she announced herself as the **White Lotus**, unleashing an endless arsenal of blades that allowed her to slay the entire army by herself, and even driving PROJECT TAGGART to retreat, while those surviving soldiers have been captured, or fled.

Although the people of Losteria has thanked her for bringing them all back together, White Lotus has deemed to stay vigilant in her country. EQUINOX-612 even inquired her to rejoin them to their future operations, to which she refused, not wanting the G/NEX to be surprised on her new looks.

#### Technological Lies: Razor Sharp

In the wake of *Technological Lies*, She reverted her looks for the time being, and has teamed up with SCYLLA-028 in order to fend off remaining PROJECT forces in Losteria; Seeing her as a valuable ally and seemingly a friend. To capitalise, they have singlehandedly killed thousands of Command Line soldiers with nothing but careful strategy, prime positioning and the use of stealth for clean kills that won't leave a trace, even in the HUDs of the enemy. Notably, they have managed to intercept and arrest Wynona Achilles, whom has another person to kidnap by putting someone to sleep.

Following the successful bonding mission, the two part ways. ASHE-159 is aware of it and accepts it. To prepare for the invasion in Rutherland, she recalls her own bond with PSYLOCKE-832, as well as the few gadgets she had secretly gifted for her, such as a tracking grenade, wrist computer, and her own wrist blaster, which she typically uses in combat. Afterwards, She and SCYLLA-028 joined in a short hit and run operation that embroiled PROJECT. It wasn't documented in official sources, as Scylla has noticed that tristanna became more ruthless against the megacorporation.

The day has arrived, the alliance has decided to invade Brimstone, Freya; In order to end PROJECT once and for all. As she knows, RUBICORE has capitalised on bombing campaigns while sending thousands of men to subdue the city's outlying forces. The G/NEX has directed the smaller resistance organisations into a cunning strategy that will allow efficient strikes on Brimstone, which they all know is PROJECT's heart and where all of their resources are stored. To make things more easier, the security firm COALESCENCE has efficiently used their DATA artificial intelligence to quickly hack while undermining the enormous city's defences.

As she fought her way in the city, alongside the entirety of the G/NEX and their alliance, they have effectively reduced the strength of the megacorporation that forced Lundgren to release MANTICORE. 651 quickly informs everyone about the chemical weapon, prompting BRIENNE-218 to destroy their supplies and demolish their MANTICORE facilities thanks to RUBICORE forces. She has managed to caught wind of the resistance's secret plan, which is to infiltrate SUPREME and confront Muldoon Lundgren in the top floor.

As ASHE-159, SCYLLA-028, FIONA-384, and BRIENNE-218 enter the lower floors, HAYABUSA-096 joins them, recalling his vow to destroy the entire SUPREME building after the victory. HAYABUSA-096, SHIRO-113, and TRISTANNA-651 made quick work of the underground floors' security, eliminating all personnel they encountered and allowing the few innocent employees to flee for their lives. They then cleared the laboratories and directed the smaller resistance groups to save the victims who were still alive, which they did quickly. After that, they fought their way up until the 300th floor, which took a considerable amount of time.

### Codename: REVIVAL

Much to her disappointment, PROJECT has now sent an invasion force to Rutherland, forcing everyone of them to travel quickly and attempt to repel the incoming threat, and link up with COALESCENCE forces, knowing that they may be on the verge of downfall.

Knowing that it can be a trap, she quickly suggests to the group that they should find PSYLOCKE-832, since COALESCENCE is losing against PROJECT in the operation, owing to superior firepower and a surprise attack that shocked them into disarray. Unfortunately, they were too late, COALESCENCE has fallen. They quickly stumble upon a horrifying sight, which is the fact that the obsidian assassin is heavily injured, right in front of their eyes. They wasted no time guarding her. She, ASHE-159, FIONA-384 and SCYLLA-028 quickly attempted to save her, but the latter only smiled in pain as she begs them to let her die instead.

The four of them refused, wanting to keep her alive; Knowing that she is the key to stop the invasion. However, she streamed herself to the Van Dammes to remind them that the planet should remember her, until she dies. The women of the rebels are left with nothing but grief, and anger. 651 was highly affected by her death so badly. However, her grief was saved after they all agreed to use a Fujiwara Nanostimulant, and they defended her position. 832 stated that she's too exhausted to fight, hence she surrounded herself with the group. Afterwards, she witnessed the return of a fallen hero, the REDEEMER-865!

Nothing much is known to her after this phenomenon.

### Bleeding Edge: Ultimatum

Tristanna returned on using the White Lotus codename and persona, earning the G/NEX's surprise and approval. All while they have to face the final fight of their lives. As they made it inside the realm ASHE-159 complemented her looks, confirming that she looked more ready than ever. Showcasing her new blades, she then suggests to keep their choices straight: Fight, or Flight?

Throughout the fight on the Digital Realm, the White Lotus was evidently pushed to her limits, proven by her damaged suit and her mask being compromised owing to the extensive, violent onslaught that she sustained from ANNIHILATOR's savage hologram minions, notably droids.

#### Premonition

White Lotus notably joined the rebels after a solitary, right in the middle of destroying PROGRAM SLIPSTREAM, and was horrified to witness their leader, ASHE-159, slowly dying from her wounds. As a result, she recommended to the genius JINX-362 that she use a Fujiwara Nanostimulant to bring her back. They've done nothing as she seemingly died but gaze at her, then at LILIAN-395, until the moment wherein Jinx shoots quickly at an incoming silhouette and everyone prepares by unsheathing their weapons. It was ANNIHILATOR himself. That was the day in Brimstone, Freya, when Tristanna anticipated things to be straightforward, but what she witnessed was the worst thing that could ever happen.

The tyrant slams them with his hammer, presumably killing them, until it has been revealed that OLIVEIRI-709 has saved them through the MIST, turning them into spectrals as the shroud prevented them from becoming a victim of his annihilation. As a result, the evil overlord has decided to banish them, into his own world. Tristanna notably displayed fear alongside Jinx upon realising their banishment into a whole, different dimension from the reality.

### Inside the Realm

They all fall harmlessly in the realm, looking shocked by the drastic change in his world's appearance, but when they observe the tyrant not being able to discover them yet, the rebels have agreed to find perfect hiding sites to avoid capture, and find a way out of the dimension. It was futile, apparently. After being unable to leave the realm and finding a very grim truth, Tristanna realises that everyone is locked in the tyrant's own "world." The rebels are now taken aback by his own dimension, which he refers to as the Digital Realm. They try to hide from him again, but they have no way to escape or hide because they are simply followed by his world's sensors, working against the creator of cyberspace. She saw the overlord became tired of waiting as he took a while to enter, and his ultimate ability glitched to the point where he believes OLIVEIRI-709 attempted to counter it in some incomprehensible way.

They attempted mind games against him, including the cat of showing Muldoon Lundgren's burned corpse in their wrist computer, expanded for his eyes to see. He shrugs, even admitting that a man leading a megacorporation is to blame for its downfall, demonstrating that a nevian element as leadership is inefficient to an extraterrestrial megacorporation; indicating that he is the true leader.

#### Duel: Fate Lies Ahead

White Lotus, HAYABUSA-096, EION-013, BRIENNE-218, SCYLLA-028, JINX-362, VI-516, OLIVEIRI-709 and LILIAN-395 now prepares for the upcoming duel that will decide their fate. As ASHE-159 became revived, she believes that an all-out attack is the way to start the fight, which they all agreed upon. Without further ado, they now charged into battle, screaming. ANNIHILATOR simply mocks them as he lazily anticipates their all-out attack, simply dropping his hammer to the ground in anticipation after settling to defend himself. As they assault him in every direction, they are surprised to see minimal to no damage sustained at all, earning their disbelief.

He laughs at them, knowing that no matter how clever their strategies were, they lacked the heavy firepower to beat him. It was a one-sided struggle, and he actually plays with them, earning his boredom, before ordering his holographic minions to slaughter them; obviously, almost everyone in the group is no match for him.

Much to her shock, JINX-362 is severely injured after one of the tyrant's minions violently rips her left arm off during a scuffle. SHIRO-113 uses all of his skills to survive against him and his minions. Everyone was clearly outmatched, and even ANNIHILATOR admitted to playing with the rebels, knowing he could simply kill any of them with brute force. As a result, the rebels devised a strategy that relies on OLIVEIRI-709's special abilities in the Digital Realm. As a result, they have attempted to manipulate the environment in order to reverse the tide. As a result, he quickly targets her and swings his hammer at her. Tristanna taunts his overconfidence, proclaiming that they will win, but with cost.

Thanks to Tristanna, OLIVEIRI-709 is able to perfectly interrupt ANNIHILATOR as she unleashed a DAWNING WAVE, right at his face! This damages him more than enough that he stumbled and fell to the ground. However, the shields that Oliveiri's beam has offered proved futile as the tyrant mercilessly kills VI-516, SHIRO-113 and even HAYABUSA-096; Earning her anger, as one of her most closest allies have been killed, and she was spared after the swing has hit 096 instead, rather than her. As a result, she throws her blades at him in unison, only to be redirected at her and 218 was forced to block the hits (without her shield, merely covering her face), and returns all the blades to the blade dancer.

HAYABUSA-096's death affected her severely, hence she throws relentless attacks against him, even throwing multiple VANGUARDs to slow him down, which did some effect, much to her disappointment. Even with OLIVEIRI-709 that allowed them to download themselves to the realm's codes to allow for endless revives in case of death, all their efforts are still futile, not even BRIENNE-218 challenging ANNIHILATOR himself proved beneficial, as the latter yanked both Iceborn warriors and trapped all of them into a cage, with no room to escape. Even her blades are useless against the cage. However, she helped Scylla free OLIVEIRI-709 as she shot again the tyrant with a huge beam, as it dealt enough damage, the two warmothers quickly break free and attempt to rescue the others trapped in their cage, to no avail. They seem to think the mecha overlord is now destroyed forever, but unbeknownst to them, he simply used his passive ability to repair his severe damage sustained from the blast.

As ANNIHILATOR emerges in front of them, with his minions surrounding him, he orders them to stay put while disintegrating the cage, seeking to quickly destroy the resistance by himself, rooting them in the same location, and he triumphantly leaps into the air, clearly intending to execute all of them with a hammer slam.

#### Unshakeable, Wonderful Phenomenon

They all get smashed into annihilation. All hope seems lost. However, OLIVEIRI-709 pulls her last MIST and allowed everyone to be revived, but with ASHE-159 suffering from haemorrhage, until she dies. However, she and Lilian are one of the few who noticed that she has set them up to kill the tyrant, discovering the hidden UBER arrow implanted on his nape. Back to the realm, she is grateful that most fo them came back, except for JINX-362 with a torn left arm. Of course, GHOST glares at them in annoyance for saving them against the tyrant twice, but the remaining rebels of the group owes her despite the apparent death of their leader, again. However, the loose cannon has lost her fighting spirit and wants to leave the realm, stating that she's too weak to fight in her current state, looking at her extremely damaged body and a torn left arm.

As a result, OLIVEIRI was forced to return her to the physical world. ANNIHILATOR now focuses on them, congratulating them on their luck in surviving against him; Taking advantage of his words, he is assaulted by tracking grenades by BRIENNE-218 and battles him again head on. She was able to briefly deflect a strike with her shield and use JUDGEMENT to root him in place, allowing everyone to attack him at less armoured regions of his body, which was beneficial. However, he soon turns the tide by using CORPORATE GRASP to hold them all in place; slowly suffering under the grasp of a magical fist. He abandons them to perish.

ANNIHILATOR is displeased by OLIVEIRI's attacks against him, so he pins her to the wall, disabling her escape. He now aimed his fists at the group, intending to bathe his hands in their blood. However, a helping hand turned the tide. 651 notably prevents the tyrant from killing GHOST with a punch as his fingers are stabbed, and PSYLOCKE-832 has arrived, demanding a duel for a worthy adversary, which she lost until REDEEMER-865 has pulled something very phenomenal: He brought an entire army, his own and their rebels, all with one goal, to destroy the overlord for good.

#### End of the Line

##### EOTL 1.0

As their combined army have bombarded him with heavy artillery, ANNIHILATOR falls into a state of rage and proceeds to kill rebels, much to their anger, and even failed attempts of saving them from the massacre. She noticed FIONA-384 carrying one rebel cyborg torn in half, before discarding him, since they all died for nothing, however; OLIVEIRI-709 informs them that there is only one way to end this: Destroy the SERVER. Much to their surprise, she knows exactly the perfect location of that thing, explaining that it is a core or a living computer that stores every data amassed by PROJECT.

On their way to the SERVER after racking up kills, they have landed upon its top entrance, and busted their way in; Only to realise that it has a giant security outer structure, which they all penetrated thanks to SCYLLA-028, GHOST and PSYLOCKE-832. LILIAN-395 leads them in destroying everything in Sector 01, and subsequent Sectors, reaching 07 proved difficult as the tyrant has instantly blocked their path, sending in the best of his holographic army, particularly rendered SHADOW's likeness and skill.

##### EOTL 2.0

In the fight for the SERVER, she noticed REDEEMER-865's giant holographic form trades blows with PROJECT ANNIHILATOR as the surviving G/NEX warriors follow the lead of PSYLOCKE-832 as they seek to destroy the SERVER, the realm's core, knowing that its destruction will ensure the tyrant's demise and save every hero in the same dimension. OLIVEIRI-709, who appears hobbling and with a torn right arm, promises the group that she will restore everything, earning the adoration of EION-013. The gunslinger actually survives a hit from the tyrant, as he is luckily confined in debris rather than decimated by brute force. As they all make it to the core, 865 noticed that ANNIHILATOR has brought the still-alive soldiers of PROJECT: INTERCEPTOR-409 and Gray Wolf. Much to their dissatisfaction, The tyrant uses the opportunity to create henchmen modelled after SHADOW himself, dozens of them.

She fought with all her strength to survive. However, the clones have easily overwhelmed them, forcing REDEEMER-865 to come in their aid and kill all of them. After that they hopped into 865's huge form as they have seen a platform to get in top of the SERVER, but it ultimately fails as he gets knocked down by ANNIHILATOR himself. As they have found an opening, FIONA-384 ordered everyone to go, and she stalled the tyrant's minions before returning to them as promised. SCYLLA-028 later made it easy for everyone inside Sector 07, destroying every component in sight, save for the core due to its invulnerability. At her suggestion to her friend PSYLOCKE-832 to blind him, which worked, whilst LILIAN-395 set them up by tying his overly sized limbs, and REDEEMER-865 crushes him with a spear, hitting the core of the SERVER, destroying it.

As ANNIHILATOR crawls on the ground, she adds insult to injury by flinging her blades to his joints, immobilising him as his own minions magnetise and consume him, earning her smirk of approval as the overlord suffers, and OLIVEIRI-709 has finally ended his tyranny for good as she stabbed him in the head, and they all backed a distance away as he dies, consumed in a bright explosion that disorients everyone, but gives a light of hope, knowing that all of their struggles and fighting have lead to this moment: A victory.

## White Lotus: Visionary

> "Finally, the tyrant is gone for good, and the entire planet rejoices, through the hero who united us all: Ashe. Now that I've decided to stay in our *Sacred Lands*, I need to ensure that Losteria is technologically advanced enough to meet the demands of the enormous future that we, as one, shall face together."
>
> - Tristanna regarding Losteria's future.

### A Visionary Leader, and True Warrior.

With the tyrant now gone forever, Tristanna realises that everyone has a way to go home, as OLIVEIRI-709 showcases them the Portal, a gateway to return any user to the Physical World. They all acknowledge everyone's bravery, strength and determination and they hugged in result. Notably, EION-013 kissed his wife for the last time, as she has shockingly decided to stay in the realm and face eternity. Without any objections from the others, they all respected her decision, as she the GHOST now allow everyone to enter it and enjoy their freedom. Like most others, they shared a brief stare at her in respect, before venturing back to the Physical World of Nexonia Prime.

As the White Lotus, she continued to become a warrior all while moving on from her experiences with the G/NEX. With the backing of the Virtue, they have consistently erased more and more opponents that threaten the Sacred Lands. One major operation was her alone defeating an army of zealots that appeared to be using PROJECT's weaponry, preventing them from spreading mayhem in Futurama, since the city itself had showed considerable technical advancements. Furthermore, she became disillusioned with the end of the war, knowing that there will always be another one, justifying her daily feats of heroism in the country while preserving the peace.

The White Lotus therefore declined to attend Ashe's funeral, choosing to focus on her country's new future following the war. Tristanna then spent the majority of her time travelling to *Temple of Grunnar*, *Frakona*, *Placidium*, and *Futurama*, where she is currently boosting the morale of all Losterians, and thus allowing all residents to improve their country through technological means in order to meet the demands of the ever-expanding future that they face.

*To end her journey, she admitted as bot being interested in the new generation of G/NEX, despite the fact that FIONA-384 is their new leader. However, she has promised to visit her allies. in occasion.*

## Personality

Tristanna was a dedicated and deadly fighter known for her persistent focus on serenity, quiet, silence, and balance. She is known to be extremely pacifistic as a result of her childhood traumas. However, joining the G/NEX resistance has slowly changed her mind, allowing her to fully embrace the use of violence when necessary, as pacifism does not function in the context of the PROJECT-G/NEX War. Due to her experience with the Nordics, she proved to be incredibly resilient and dedicated, those characteristics later made her into the leader of The Virtue, her own resistance army and years later as a warrior of the G/NEX. Among other things, she is known for being extremely sympathetic and being warm to her allies.

She is also known to be very affable, able to strike friendships even with byronic heroes such as SHIRO-113. Her most notable friendship would possibly be PSYLOCKE-832, as the two have endlessly trusted each other after they ventured on their duo operation, and regularly communicates whenever they are unable to meet each other physically, even respecting her decision to retire in the finale's aftermath.

When Tristanna was revived and became the **White Lotus**, not only did her physical appearance has changed, it also involved her personality. She became more vigilant, merciless and efficient, discarding her former methods of choosing to use violence as a last resort, as the war ultimately converted her into a brutally effective killing machine. This also made her more mindful of the future, recognising that the post-war peace is fragile and she continues to defend her country, without being attached to the G/NEX.

Tristanna considers the White Lotus codename to be a "different version of myself, far more fierce and stronger," fighting to safeguard Losteria at all costs, even if the war is done and nevanity is flourishing once more. This demonstrates that White Lotus does not relent in peace and remains vigilant at all times, knowing that evil will arise anew regardless of how the war ends with their victory.

## Abilities

### TRISTANNA-651

TRISTANNA-651 is known for her ability to use the terrifying telekinetic SKRILL blades, which allow her to attack multiple targets at once or multitask in any situation. While her advanced suit contains an infinite arsenal of knives designed to stab the enemy if they try to grab her. As a result, she is an extremely versatile fighter.

### White Lotus

As the White Lotus, she is equipped with a radically upgraded suit, featuring a white and gold colour scheme, additional armour plates for protection, while leaving her mobility unimpeded with a retained sleek design. Her SKRILL blades have been transformed into the NAYMORII, named in honour of her home, reminding her why she fights for the good of everyone, and opposing the forces of evil. Not to mention, she had silver hair.

### Skills

Some also claim she is an expert marksman by using one of her blades as a throwing knife.

* **Expert Leader**: Her leadership skills are underrated. It has been known in their history that Tristanna, was always a great leader and a role model.
