## Character

### **Personality**

Crescent is a leader, not a follower. This results in her bossiness. All in all, she doesn't mean to, she just likes being in charge. Although she may seem like a control freak, Crescent just wants best for her friends. Crescent is also very strong, both physically and mentally. She is quite the athlete, liking track and archery, and also being able to go questing in the forest. She fights back her tears, never lets her voice tremble, and is proud of her ability to handle miserable news. As mentioned before, Crescent is a born leader, and a bossy one to boot. However, it can not be denied that not only does she have her friends best interests in heart, but she fully recognizes their strengths and weaknesses to help everyone function as a team. Of course, this doesn't mean she always acknowledges their talents or makes the best decisions. But, Crescent always puts forth all she has and expects her "family" to do the same. This is due in part to her hidden insecurities. Having been practically abandoned by her father and abandoned by her mother at a young age, and after losing her best friend, Crescent has a fear of being left behind and also feels the urge to make sure her friends act like a true family, albeit a dysfunctional one. This is because she wants none of them to feel abandoned and wants none of them to abandon *her*.

Not only does she struggle with those fears, it has led Crescent to resent every parental figure she's acquired, since even Chang'e left her to her own devices to live on her own. Then again, who can blame her? She is a goddess after all... Crescent can't help but feel inadequate. Losing one of her very close friends it can do that. While she tries to distract herself from this by doing her best to loose herself in the rhythm of survival, it's very damaging for her. All of this combined has led her to be the type of person that holds grudges. Even though her father could possibly be long dead, she still feels incredibly bitter towards him. Rivals and people who get on her bad side ingrain themselves into her memory and she'll loathe them for time immemorial. As much as Crescent feels bitter towards her, Crescent often acts like her mother, Crescent can be a very caring girl to the people and animals that deserve it, however. Maternal to the point of fussiness, while she may act cruel to, say, her step brother Xiyang Sun, she still cares for him and would do anything to protect him. This applies to her friends as well. Even though her mental issues affect her profoundly, no one can deny Crescent's strength. She meets challenges head on with a war cry, but tackles them with a clarity one would not expect from someone with her turbulent past. Truth be told, while it may affect her behaviors, she's still a brave, clever girl.. Just with some baggage. Courage defines Crescent very well.

### Chang'e Kid Powers

* Much like the Artemis children, Crescent can use the moonlight as a means of teleportation and appear anywhere so long as moonlight can shine in that location, known as "lunar-traveling" which functions identically to shadow traveling
