### First Appearance

Page 98

**Viorel Braith** is a member and sixth child of the Braith Family. They have an unconventional semblance that allows them to shift across the masculine and female extents of the gender/sex spectrum. It is unknown even to their family which gender they were assigned at birth.

## Appearance

Viorel is a seventeen year old of below-average height with pale skin, dark indigo hair and indigo eyes. In female form, Viorel's eyebrows are thinner, their hair is longer and they has more pronounced eyelashes. As a male, their hair is shorter and their jawline is more pronounced.

### Current Outfit

Viorel wears a more militant, double-breasted indigo suit with purple and white highlighting.

### Original Outfit

They wear a short-sleeved white jacket and an indigo t-shirt and trousers, with knee high white boots with indigo soles.

## Character

Viorel is much more withdrawn than their sister, Viola, but has a prideful and narcissistic streak - they refer to Team RAIN as 'children' despite being younger than they are, and refers to society at large as 'ants'. They also believe themselves to be above murder, but expects people such as Viola to commit such crimes, suggesting they have a low opinion of their siblings.

They are far more collected than Viola and subtly direct conversation with Nyssa to get information, but they also become something of a showoff when it is time to test their plan, overruling Viola and telling her to be quiet which she heeds - suggesting Viorel carries seniority despite being 5 years Viola's junior.

Viorel is evidently the brains of the Braith operation, acting as less of a combatant and possessing a great deal of technical skill with computers and data, as well as chemistry and biology.

When angered, Viorel's aura becomes unstable and crackles around their face. This trait may be able to be extrapolated onto the other Braiths.

## Abilities and Powers

### Semblance

*Main article: Protandrogyny*
Viorel's semblance allows them to shift across the masculine and female extents of the gender/sex spectrum. They can activate it on will and the change seems almost instantaneous, telegraphed by an aural glow around them. Viorel's behaviour and personality barely seems to differ between forms, and their birth sex is unknown.

## Relationships

### Kamala Braith

Kamala and Viorel are on fairly pleasant terms. While Viorel is deferential to their sibling, their ego prompts them to act on their own - such as experimenting with their semblance or inviting the Crazy Bunch to Zenith. Kamala seems to let them off with minimal 'punishment' for their actions. While she is very blunt with her sibling, they appear to be aligned in regards to their end goal with little argument.

### Viola Braith

Despite their differences, Viola and Viorel work well together on Silva. The two use their manipulative skills to split RAIN apart, and succeed in doing so completely according to plan. However, Viorel expresses disdain that Viola ignores their gender identity, and is quick to throw her to the dogs when Kamala wants to punish one of them for letting Otso Umber escape.
