Saffron is a Nakorian girl and the protagonist of the unnamed rpg 1.

## Personality

A moody cat girl who is always at war with herself. One moment she is peppy, reckless, and quick to mess around, the next moment she is moody, pessimistic, and insecure. At her best, Saffron thrives when spending time with her friends and doing spontaneous things. At her worst, she reacts apathetically to most things and isolates herself. She does not like to compromise and can be stubborn, this most often comes into play when she cannot agree with Loretta's ideas. She is also prone to jealousy and feelings of inferiority. She is not depressive all the time, usually she is very happy, but can just be moody frequently.

Saffron enjoys being the life of the party and values her friends, but her conflicting internal struggles get the best of her sometimes. The internal notion that she "isn't supposed to be here" can hinder her ability to enjoy life the way she (believed to be selfishly) wants it. This causes feelings of inferiority, guilt, and other things that can suddenly at the snap of a finger cause her to become moody. She's very off and on. Basically she is extremely depressed and thinks she needs to die for basically killing her family and a significant amount of the population. Yay mental illness !!! Her inferiorty complex is also due to the way she was treated in her family.

## History

Saffron was part of a rather large family that lived on Yurse Hill when it was still an occupied village. Being the youngest of five children, Saffron endured being bullied by her siblings, as well as receiving little attention from her parents. Saffron could not keep up with her siblings or manage to earn her parents' approval growing up.

At age 10, Saffron ran away from home with no plan or supplies. Upon entering the forest, she found a reflective orb that seemed to call her forward. Saffron touched it, and an earthquake seemed to form. Scared enough to return home, Saffron approached Yurse Hill only to find that it had been destroyed by monsters— these are known as Shadows. This marks the beginning of the Dianthus Era.

Not knowing what to do, Saffron collapsed on the ground and cried, full of guilt because she is Literally 10 and just killed literally everyone she knows. Exposure to the shadows gave her a virus that was later deemed Terminus Shadonium Virus (TSV). Saffron was the very first case of it. Yay! The virus slowly killed her. She did not bother to move or attempt to keep on living.

Saffron was born again in a machine in a very light room with no memories. Angels surrounded her and celebrated that they were finally able to rebirth a mortal with TSV. she was not aware of anything around her, nor did she question it. Basically brainwashed tbh. She is kind of like mewtwo but if he was frankenweenie movie.

Saffron was now on Utonia—home to Angels. She was subject to tests and checkups daily and constantly. These tests were nothing painful or even cruel. The angels actually were especially delicate and careful with her for reasons she didn't understand or question.

During her time in Utonia, Saffron met an unusual angel who did not act like the rest of the angels. They would ask her questions that forced Saffron to wonder why she was there and what was going on. This angel was Opal. The two would talk in secret and form a bond over a period of time before Opal suggested escaping to Saffron. At first, she did not care of this idea as she knew little of the outside world. This is when Opal left for Dystania, becoming a fallen angel.

It was over a few months past Opals disappearance that Saffron began to piece together what she was being tested for, as well as her past. She was being prepared as a vessel for the previous Sage to inhabit and be reborn into. This posed a deep internal conflict for Saffron: On one hand, the guilt of her actions makes her feel undeserving of life so offering her life in exchange for another to be reborn is the least she can do, but on the other hand, Saffron doesn't truly want to die and wonders if she can use her life to make up for what she's done. Ultimately, she decides on living to put a stop to the Shadows, though the guilt of this decision would weigh upon her too. Opal left her with instructions to escape, and so Saffron begins her descend into Dystania. After Utonia learned of her escape they would begin to send angels down to Dystania to recapture her. This marks the true beginning of the RPG.

After descending from Utonia, Saffron finds herself in a dense forest where she hears the sound of a harp and follows it.

## Relationships

#### Loretta

there is so much that needs to go here but im also not totally set on what i want their relatuonship to be but all you need to know for now is that they start out with loretta being really sweet and caring and saffron being kind of dismissive because Guilt sucks and also why would she know how to accept affectjon after not having it her whole life like yes its what shes always wanted but she doesnt think she deserves it soooo anyways she rejects it. this frustrates loretta who literally just wanted to be nice and kind so she ends up being mean back but its not like she can just Leave because they have a common location they need to go to and yeah theres a lot. they spend a lot of the game arguing but like not in a fucked up way they just have drama. surprisingly they have very similar morals and plans and more so itd not like they HAVE to have drama and most of the characters find it silly that they have petty arguments. when they work together its like everything goes so smoothly and they are a great team but they cannot for the life of them agree woth each other because they are both stubborn anf also come from different background and perspectives so sometimes their morals are similar byt a little tovthr right and neither are wrong and idk what else they need a little more i think. Need a little help with this one i think.

They have a needlessly complicated relationship. They initially didnt get along well, always arguing and being stubborn with each other. They both had very different opinions on trivial things and, both of them being very stubborn, would fight and bicker. However, when they work together they are a virtually unstoppable team. If they don't disagree on something small, that is. Its interesting because they have really fundamentally different beliefs and courses of action.

Saffron is in love with Loretta and does not know it yet. Does that make sense.

#### Cabret

They're good friends! Saffron values their relationship a lot more than she lets on. She thinks of him as a sweet younger brother in a way. She cares for him, but struggles to show it. Luckily, Cabret is a smart little guy and understands her subtle efforts at showing care (which consists of being slightly less stubborn and giving him cool rocks).

Saffron thinks Cabret is too smart for his own good sometimes. He somehow manages to ask the questions that bother her the most, though she knows he doesn't mean it. One time he asked her why she doesn't like the color purple (a totally normal question) and she got really mad at me and he Still doesnt understand why. She is strange.

Their relationship is essentially "why does loretta call you babygirl" "lets stop talking for a while" i should draw this sometimes

## Trivia

The reason Saffron's outfit is wrapped in thorns from the flower on her chest is because it looks cool and is symbolic. Yes
