Vanth

**Vanth** (ヴァンス) is a moon type Celestial, natural satellite of Orcus and a character appearing in Solar Emissary.

## Appearance

Vanth has pale skin with dusty grey-blue eyes. She has long curly gray hair which is parted at the top left and falls over her right eye. She is wearing an outfit reminiscent of christian nun attire; a black dress with a polygonal cut at the neck, with a black choker and a diamond shaped accessory, along with large white cuffs at her wrists and a repeating cross pattern across the bottom rim of her dress. She is also wearing a black nun veil with a white circular dot on the side.

## Personality

Vanth is described as being quite the peculiar individual, and also somewhat lazy or carefree, stated to not take many things seriously. She is seen in illustrations being generally calm and relaxed, usually around her planet Orcus.

## Background

Vanth is stated to have the job of exterminating ghosts, likely referencing the holy duties of a nun, though instead she seems to befriend them and chill. She follows around Orcus most of the time, described as haunting the planet in Orcus' own profile and illustrations.

It may be possible she may have the ability to become invisible, as seen in illustrations. Though it is not confirmed.

## Relationships

*Vanth is a personification of the natural satellite Vanth.*

Orcus has one known moon, **Vanth** (full designation (90482) Orcus I Vanth). It was discovered by Mike Brown and T.-A. Suer using discovery images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope on 13 November 2005. The discovery was announced on 22 February 2007 in IAU Circular 8812.

Using observations with the Hubble Space Telescope from 13 November 2005, Mike Brown and T.A. Suer detected a natural satellite. The discovery of a satellite of Orcus was reported in IAUC 8812 on 22 February 2007. The satellite was given the designation S/2005 (90482) 1 before later being named *Vanth*. It orbits Orcus in a nearly face-on circular orbit with an eccentricity of about 0.007, and an orbital period of 9.54 days. Vanth orbits only 9,030 km (5,610 mi) from Orcus and is too close to Orcus for ground-based spectroscopy to determine the surface composition of the satellite.

## Trivia

* Vanth's birthday is stated to be **November 13th**, the same date as the moon Vanth was discovered.
* Vanth's favorite hobby is **haunting**.
* Vanth's favorite place is the **refrigerator**.
* Vanth's weapon, as stated on her profile as well as shown in a picture, is a **hammer.**
* Despite using **she/her** pronouns in her profile, she uses the personal pronoun **boku (僕)** in Japanese, something which is usually associated with (but not exclusive to) males. Though many Celestials are shown to use this Japanese personal pronoun regardless of their gender expression.
	+ The fact she uses she/her pronouns may be a reference to how nuns are usually referred to by the title of "sisters" in the church.
* The fact she only shows one eye, has similarly colored eyes, and is upbeat in personality may be paralleling and contrasting of Charon, as Orcus and its moon are often referred to as the "anti-Pluto", due to their similar naming conventions and the near-identical yet opposite orbital systems.
* It's stated on her official profile that looking at her from certain angles resembles an orca, likely due to the white spot present on her veil.
* Vanth's official portrait received a minor update following sometime in June 2019.
