#### Character Profile

I don't like kids, Actually, I hate kids who don't do what they are told. And I would rather babysit five-year-olds instead of deal with 18M-RFT34. At least kids don't lie all the time. How shameless.

She knows we can't hurt her directly, so she won't be intimidated by our threats. How did they find such and insufferable person? Even though she was swept up in a heinous murder case, 18M-RFT34 does not take anything seriously. It might be that she has some hidden trump card.

I doubt the accusations that she is the murderer, but if I am stuck with her any longer, I might become one myself.

#### Behavior pattern [*Craft Dress 20 time(s)*]

18M-RFT34 never shows her own initiative. Even with something as trivial as standing in a line, picking up her ration, or even resting after dark. She does things as if she can’t help it. If someone asks her to do something, 18M-RFT34 throws a screaming fit. She shows no concern for the consequences of her careless actions, no matter how deadly they turn out to be for her allies. Yet, very rarely she complies by 17M-RFT32(Lenox)’s words without a complaint. There are few things that can control 18M-RFT34 effectively.

It is recorded that once she treaded mountainside until her shoes wore out and her feet tore up in scars, just because she did not want to admit that to her allies. Is it pride that prevents her from communicating to others? The Biblical Noah did what he was told without complaint, simply because he was given the status. Observing 18M-RFT34 reminds me of him, especially how he ended up after his story.

18M-RFT34 seems talented in repair and restoration. Fixed up friends’ clothes and gear without a request on days she felt positive. Once sewed a “cute” pattern on 15M-RFT17(Leon)’s handkerchief. Left him contemplating over the meaning of the act with a piece of textile in hands.

#### Weakness & Trauma [*Craft Adrenaline Drink5 time(s)*]

She was involved in a murder case, they say. Well, not as the victim. As the suspect. 18M-RFT34 appears to lose sleep because of it. Her job is indeed sedentary, but her insomnia negatively affects her already poor physical scores. Examining her physical abilities is troublesome.

I have read up on the case myself. I had this feeling that it was a trap set up to frame her by someone who knew her well. Well, a good guess instead of just a hunch. 18M-RFT34 probably knows this herself, but why didn’t she speak out? She was a well-known public figure; gossip magazines and public media would have driven the case in her favor. Rumors say she was showing mercy, but I find it to be an unfounded hypothesis. Mercy is choosing not to destroy someone else despite the wish. Does that apply to 18M-RFT34?

18M-RFT34 requested rather peculiar things from the deal. One of them was to wipe her memories. She did not care if the procedure included erasing even implicit memory like language – 18M-RFT34 wanted everything gone as long as she could not remember the people she has met. It was a strange request, but we decided to accept it. When 18M-RFT34 gets to leave the island or when our experiments reach the end, she will walk into a world that is different in many ways.

#### Likes & Dislikes [*Deal more than 1800 damage to the opponent*]

It’s not that 18M-RFT34 is a misanthrope. Rather she loves everyone equally. Appearance does not matter to her – she will accept everyone for who they are. Strange, isn’t it? Have you read up on her fashion brand? For one, her clothes do not come with a size label like S, M, L, or such. Instead she uses symbols to mark what size they are. Sun, Moon, Star, Sea, and so on… Peculiar ways to tell what size a cloth is.

Personally I have never seen her brand, so I don’t know what they are meant to convey. In fact, I think they are counterintuitive. 18M-RFT34 claims whether a cloth fits someone or not is decided by the one who wears it. Apparently this is her guiding philosophy. Perhaps her sizing is in line with this thought.

In any case, despite these quirks her brand is rather popular. I have seen reports that people fall in love with her design choices by trying her clothes to figure out what size matches them. I think I would prefer if my cloth came with a number to tell me what size it is, but maybe there is more to a cloth that cannot be described with a number. High fashion is weird.

18M-RFT34 sometimes allies with 14M-RFT04(HyunWoo). That is always a sight to watch. Think about it; both are easy to hate, but both seek out and rely on others. Their partnership often ends up ugly, though. They tolerate each other all right, but when someone else joins them, their personality flaws resonate and aggravate each other. Seeing 18M-RFT34 team up with 16M-RFT20(Li Dailin) is a less disturbing experience. The two of them, drunkenly wandering Lumia… How pitiful. 18M-RFT34 still needs to grow up.

#### Acquaintance Interview [*Craft Ruby 30 time(s)*]

She was like a midsummer night’s dream to me. Beautiful and proud. Her designs were stuff of dreams. I have done everything that I could for her, so that she can make use of her genius and I can stand by her side.

I still remember when I saw her embroidering on a handkerchief by a stall in an alley. I knew she was someone I would bet my life on at that moment. This is different from love. This is blinding awe, inspired with ineffable hope and mystery. I believed she was to find a new world. I was merely lucky to be on her ark and to be the dove on her shoulder. My purpose was to fly away when she tells me to and to bring her an olive branch.

But how did this all happen? I never thought she would… fall down like this.
