Bio

The daughter of a rich executive family in the central urban ward of the city. During her lengthy studies she discovered how disparate the wealth gap is and sought to do something about it, eventually meeting Desmond and joining the Neon Knights. Her own Heart of Sapphire is a replica of the Heart of Diamond that lets her summon a suit of armor from the Dream World. With it, she strives to bring love and romance back to the world, wanting others to live like she did back when she was lost in her studies.

During their attack on the Royal Guard she lost an eye and Desmond lost his life, so now she's become desperate to defeat the Royal Guard and save her boyfriend from being trapped in the Dream World. She's become vengeful, recruiting Rio to fight and nothing more, but she might still have a chance to bring love back to her own heart.

In the Dream World she's a physics major, and every night when she wakes up there she goes to check on Desmond. When a person has no physical body to transfer their consciousness into the process simply never goes through, and the person becomes unable to sleep. She tries to make the most of their time together, but if she can't defeat the Royal Guard and destroy the consciousness transfer system they might not have much...

Character Relations

Rio

She's got the courage and the spirit to become Neon Diver Argent like she wanted, but her lack of urgency is deeply irritating. Still, Rio's insistence on stopping to help every person who crosses her path helps her remember why she became Neon Knight Blue in the first place. Thanks to her, she can recover a little bit of her humanity and her love for the world around her.

Sable

The final obstacle standing between her and reuniting with Desmond, the source of her grudge. She never liked her music anyway.

Azure

The worst. Unforgivably the worst. Lost to her during the attack on the Royal Guard, and her attempts at reconciliation only serve to agitate those wounds. Her nostalgic pining for the past really gets under her skin. (Whitney wanting things to go back to how they were is different. It's different, she swears.)

Gallery

A really quick and rough reference sheet, but somehow it's not that much worse than the others that took much longer.

Armored Forme. At some point I'm going to redesign this and not have the monocle thing and maybe have it either permanently cracked or make some other eyepatch thing. Just something less embedded.
