Character: Elraine "El" Figarette
Series: Double Arts
Character Age: 16
Canon: In a world ravaged by an epidemic known as "Troy", the only people capable of stopping the seizures and subsequent death caused by this disease are the Traveling Sisters. The Sisters wander around the Earth, trying to suppress the plague by absorbing the disease of the sick into their own body. However, although these Sisters have a high resistance to the disease, they are not immune. As such, their role is shortening their own lives so that others may live longer. And so they continue to search for a person who is truly immune-- if they exist-- so that they can find a true cure. Enter Sister Elraine! The narrator of our story who has been infected with Troy since she was a child. But as she lies dying in the streets one day, a seemingly ordinary boy named Kiri touches her face, and her seizures stop. In what were to be her final moments, a person immune to Troy appeared before her!
So Sister Elraine lives, and our story begins. The catch, however, is that the minute she lets go of his hand, the seizures and pathway to her death begin again. Doomed to hold onto this boy's hand for the rest of her life-- whether sleeping, eating or bathing-- lest she die, Elraine nonetheless soldiers on. A girl with remarkable spirit and determination, Elraine is always prepared to sacrifice herself for the greater good. Despite this, she is also beginning to realise the importance of following your dreams instead of sacrificing them for others. Though humble and easily overwhelmed, she has her moments of calm as well. Because of Elraine's driving desire to live on to see a world without Troy, she is often most happy when she is working towards combating the disease. Together with Kiri, they're going to save the world! And try not to get killed by those pesky assassins on the way.
Sample post:
Excuse me! Everybody, please listen, this is a very important announcement! E-Excuse me, could I please have your ears for just a few moments? GYAAH! N-Not your real ears! Please put those back where you found them-- this is a serious matter! What next...?
Um, right, thank you. Hello everyone, my name is Sister Elraine, and this person is my friend, Kiri. It's come to my attention that nobody in this swamp-- er, village-- has Troy, which is very good! It's probably because you're in such a remote location, so it's not surprising we've never heard of this village before. Now, even though the Order is only for Troy-related problems, and although at first glance it looks like a number of people here are infected with something else-- or at least, that's how it seems, forgive me if I'm presuming too much... but! But if your limbs are having trouble staying attached, well, that's actually a symptom of Troy! ... Though it manifests itself slightly differently.
Oh, what's with those blank faces? Don't tell me nobody here has heard of Troy before?! This is a first... where do I even start? What? No no, it doesn't have anything to do with horses! Listen, Troy is a dangerous disease, which you can contract just by touching another person who has it! Ah, but there's no need to fall all over yourselves about it-- I'm here to help! You see, anyone wearing a uniform like mine is a Traveling Sister. And as Sisters, our job is to heal people who are sick with Troy, you see? Oh, but it also means that we have Troy too, so please be careful. D-Don't get the wrong impression! I don't know what sort of rumours you might have heard, but it's not possible to catch Troy just by standing near a person who has it, or anything... so there's really no need to shuffle away like that. It's only transferred through skin-to-skin contact.
There, I think that covers the basics. Are there any questions? --Yes, I do too have a brain! It's not like I'm not doing this because I particularly enjoy public speaking or anything. Listen, there's a small possibility that your sickness here is related to Troy somehow, and if that's the case then we might be able to help you! So if one volunteer could please step forward and tell me more in detail about the illness here, or if they'd like to accompany us to the Order's Headquarters, I'd be very grateful! You at the front, sir? Oh, thank you for your co-operation, please come a little closer so we can talk properly.
That's better. Now, I just need to ask you a few questions, such as your age, race, symptoms, and so on. No, I'm afraid I don't have ticky boxes for you... but I could make some, if it's important? All right then, are you ready? Let's start! First off, were you born with this illness? All right, I'll take "brains" as a "no". Secondly, would you say that you feel cold, or hot?
... Um, I'm sorry, I'm not quite sure what you mean. There is no "option three".
