A medical intern who applied to Rhodes Island and was accepted into the medical team as a member of Reserve Team A4.

---

• Animal Motifs: Based on his unusual ear shape compared to other Cautus operators, he's likely based on lop-eared rabbits. This is semi-confirmed in his EPOQUE skin, which features several lop-eared rabbits in its art.
• Cloudcuckoolander's Minder: He's one to Cardigan, who's quite a handful.
• Com Mons: Much like fellow three star Medic Hibiscus, Ansel crops up quite often when rolling a Medic operator.
• Consummate Professional: As medic, Ansel follows medical guidelines strictly won't hesitate to let others know if they violate said guidelines.
• Disc-One Nuke: Although his healing is a bit weaker and slower compared to Hibiscus, Ansel provides much better utility in the long run due to his insanely long range while his skill is active. At skill level 7 and Elite 1, Ansel has the longest forward range out of all Medics, nay, all operators in the game that's not named Ifrit ^note  He even beats Kal'tsit and AoE Snipers by 1 tile in the front. Whereas Folinic uses the same range, she only gets those tiles when the skill is mastered. , which gives him extremely good mileage in maps where you need to cover a lot of patients with limited deployment room, or when you need to keep someone healed from longer ranges than your other healers could cover. For this reason, Ansel remains viable even into the late game and during Contingency Contract, where his cheap cost along with his great coverage allows the player to commit to strategies that would otherwise demand a lot of finagling with multiple Medics to manage.
• Face Plant: He enters the battlefield doing a somersault, and then fall face-first to the solid floor.
• Hypocritical Humor: Ansel will regularly chide his teammates and the Doctor when they put themselves in danger or do things those may be detrimental to their health. Once the player builds his trust enough though, one of his lines will involve scolding the Doctor for eating late-night snacks...and to not use him as an excuse because he does it himself before insisting his late-night eating habit is a racial trait.
• Klingon Scientists Get No Respect: In "Rewinding Breeze", he talks about how he comes from a family heavily involved in Rim Billiton's mining industry, and how his brothers and his uncle are disappointed in him for leaving that life behind to practice medicine.
• Long-Haired Pretty Boy: His long hair and small build give him a very feminine looking appearance.
• Named After Somebody Famous: The name Ansel may be from Dr. Howard C. Ansel. Dr. Ansel worked in Pharmacy of University of Georgia. One of his famous books is Ansel's Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms and Drug Delivery Systems, a classic pharmacy book.
• Smashing Watermelons: His dorm idle animation with the "Coral Coast: Casual Vacation HDm06" outfit equipped has him doing this, though he doesn't have the requisite blindfold with him.
• The One Guy: Until the introduction of Chestnut, Ansel was the only male Medic in the game for two years.
• The Stoic: Always appears calm and collected - even when the mission fails, he will calmly ask others to cover for him while treating the injured. His profile states that even while gas explosions and collapsing roofs are happening in the background, he will be able to treat the wounded in well-ordered manner regardless.
• The Team Normal: Alongside Cardigan, he is one of the only two members of Reserve Op Team A4 to be completely "clean".

Breeze, Medic Operator of Rhodes Island, will prove that teasing and treatment go hand in hand.

Rarity: ★★★★★

ID: No. 260

Subclass: Multi-target

Tags: Healing, Support

Skills: Cluster Therapy, Widespread Therapy

Talents: Medic Squad Protection

Affiliation: Victorian Empire

Race: Vulpo

Birthday: June 24

Height: 162cm

"Breeze, a traveling scholar from Toron County. It is a pleasure to meet you, Doctor. I've had enough of formal etiquette, so this will be the last of it."

A Victorian noble who left her home to experience life in the outside world as a traveling physician.

---

• Actress Allusion: Breeze's English VA has previously voiced another upper class heiress who chooses to follow her own passion instead of following her parents' footsteps, though unlike Asta, Breeze has basically cut ties with her family.
• Ancestral Weapon: Her Promotion file heavily implies that her staff is one, since she calls it a "family heirloom, our symbol of aristocratic dogma". The end of her Operator Record also implies that her monologues to her staff are also monologues to her ancestors.
  Breeze: Eulogy... thank you all, for forgiving the scene I made.
• Animal Motifs: Fox, due to her Vulpo race. She also has fox ears, while two foxes appear in her Elite 2 artwork. The coloration of her ears as well as those of the foxes next to her make it likely that she's based on the Tibetan fox.
• Crippling Overspecialization: Breeze's talent provides CC reduction to other Medics and only Medics, making it not as practical as one might think. While it can become handy at times, it's basically a vastly inferior version of Ceylon's S2 or Nightingale's S3; the former can be obtained for free if you've played through the Obsidian Festival event, and both are applied to all classes within their effect ranges instead of just Medics. After Breeze is promoted to Elite 2 her talent also applies to Supporters, but that's still only expanding its niche by a little.
• A Day in the Limelight: Her Operator Record shows the day she caught Oripathy while helping a Leithanien refugee camp and was subsequently rescued by Rhodes Island.
• Fashionable Asymmetry: She wears a thigh band on her right leg.
• The Gadfly: She typically teases other operators that she has befriended, and especially the Doctor. Some operators even compare her to Franka for this reason.
• I Call It "Vera": She calls her staff Eulogy, and her Operator Record opens and closes with her narrating to it.
• Like Father, Like Daughter: The Arizona family butler remarks that Breeze very much reminds him of her father when he was younger.
• The Lost Lenore: Her childhood friend Marianne died in the wilderness, and Breeze has always felt regret for not doing more to help her when she had the opportunity.
• Mechanically Unusual Fighter: While she's normally an AoE medic, both of her skills trade in the ability to heal more targets in exchange for stronger healing power.
  • Her S1 Cluster Therapy increases her ATK by 70%, but her ability to heal multiple targets is reduced by 1.
  • While her S2 Widespread Therapy is active, Breeze goes from being an AoE Medic to an ST one, but the targets of her healing also radiate extra health to the 8 tiles around them, with the additional heals only being half as effective as the primary one.
• Parental Neglect: One of the sources of Breeze's frustration with her parents is that they typically aren't home very often, usually being away to conduct their family business rather than spend time with Breeze.
• Rich Kid Turned Social Activist: She was frustrated with her family's strict adherence to ancient aristocratic tradition, which is why she ran away from home and joined Rhodes Island.
• Royals Who Actually Do Something: She is a noble daughter who is frustrated with the inaction and apathy her fellow nobles show, which is why she ran away from home to become a traveling medic.
• Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: She loses in faith in relying on the Victorian government or the goodwill of nobles to help the impoverished, due to the layers of red tape and corruption involved. Instead, she takes matters in her own hands by become a self-taught medic so she can provide aid herself.
• Shout-Out: Breeze's real name, Grace Arizona, is likely a reference to the fictional town of Grace, Arizona in the novel Animal Dreams by Barbara Kingsolver. The main character of the novel, Codi, bears many similarities to Breeze, in that she left her small rural hometown to pursue her own interests, has a troubled relationship with her family (her father in particular), and has a medical education but is not a licensed medical professional.
• Spirited Young Lady: She was born and raised as a noble but decided to leave that life behind to do what she wants.
• Support Party Member: Upon reaching Elite 1, she gains the Medic Squad Protection talent, which gives a 50% resistance to all negative effects to all Medics when her skill is activated.

Ceylon, researcher of Rhodes Island, will provide you with knowledge and technical support on Originium in her spare time.

Rarity: ★★★★★

ID: No. 348

Subclass: Therapist

Tags: Healing

Skills: Concentrated Hydrotherapy, Water Blessing

Talents: Lake Walker

Affiliation: Siesta

Race: Liberi

Birthday: September 25

Height: 162cm

"Hello, I'm Ceylon, graduate of the Victoria National University with a major in Originium research. I start my internship on Rhodes Island today with Dr. Kal'tsit's approval. Nice to meet you, Doctor."

The daughter of Siesta's mayor and a highly trained scholar in Originium research, Ceylon joined Rhodes Island as Dr. Kal'tsit's research assistant after she and the Doctor helped prevent an untimely disaster on Siesta.

---

• Animal Motifs: Blue jay. Think of Mordecai from Regular Show, but less anthropomorphic.
• Brits Love Tea: She loves drinking tea as a habit she's picked up from staying in Victoria for so long.
• Death by Childbirth: Ceylon's mother died by giving birth to her.
• Ditzy Genius: An extremely well-studied and scientifically minded woman who has an absolutely terrible retention span for what she was doing as Ceylon will immediately pursue whatever captures her interest with all thought as to what she was previously doing abandoned. This habit is especially bad when it comes to Originium as her desire to cure Schwarz's Oripathy is placed above all else. Her own description notes that she may forget she's on the battlefield. Both her father and Schwarz in her Operator Record are completely unsurprised by the notion that Ceylon forgot to send Herman a Christmas card or letter.
• Feather Motif: She is surrounded by white, long feathers in her Elite 2 artwork.
• Geo Effects: Ceylon is severely crimped by this due to her talent. When playing on maps with water tiles (i.e. her Obsidian Festival event), Ceylon receives a huge ATK buff from her talent, especially at Elite 2, but outside of this, the buff value becomes very insignificant almost to the point of uselessness. Had it not been for the sole saving grace that is her second skill, which provides a handy stun duration reduction, Ceylon would have been entirely worthless.
• Heal It with Water: Her healing animation has her splashing an ally with water from her parasol.
• Long Hair Is Feminine: Ceylon's hair reaches her rear.
• Ojou: Ceylon came from a very affluent family, with her father being the governor of Siesta. Schwarz is her personal Ninja Maid. According to her profile, she exudes this so much that when mentioned in conversations, everyone says "Ah! That Lady!", even other researchers who know about her and her work.
• Parasol of Prettiness: Befitting her status as an Ojou, Ceylon carries a small umbrella with her at all times. It also serves as her healing "wand", with her firing healing bolts of energy out from the tip. Don't ask how that works.
• Pink Means Feminine: She's feminine and has pink hair.
• Rebellious Princess: She's not keen on being a sheltered mayor's daughter and would rather become a field researcher, both to her bodyguard Schwarz's pride and exasperation. She still needs to dress correctly for the field work, as her very fancy dress ends up catching on tree branches when she gets chased by Siesta's Originium Slugs.
• Science Heroine: She's so wholly dedicated to her research that her curiosity will often land her into a pot of trouble (including Blood Originium-Crystal Density that is higher than some Infected, even though she's not Infected), though she is seemingly (if not accidentally) unconcerned by this. Her decision to study Originium came after learning about Schwarz's condition, with Ceylon swearing that she will find a cure.
• Situational Sword: Ceylon is frequently lumped into the "worst 5-star welfare" pool mainly due to two reasons: her mediocre stats, and her talent's reliance on maps with water tiles. Keep in mind, these tiles are basically non-existent outside of her own event for a significant portion of the game's lifetime until Annihilation 7: Old Siesta Outskirts, so most of the time she will never be able to reach full strength, short of later Chapters being designed with water tiles in mind. Her other niche is a handy 50% duration cut for all enemy CC effects, which will come in handy during later Chapters, but not necessarily mandatory elsewhere.
• Stranger in a Familiar Land: When she finally returns to Siesta from her long study in Victoria, she's somewhat dismayed to realize just how much she's missing Victoria and off-put by Siesta at the moment. The absence of her close companion and father only increases that melancholy.
• Stylish Protection Gear: Her Originium research doesn't mean she still can't take the time to don an elegant dress, parasol, and hat for daily excursions with the only actual substantial protection in her outfit being her capelet. It's noted by other characters that it's... actually still pretty impractical for usage in the field, especially with the long skirt that can get stuck on terrain and that she probably rushed out without thinking about whether or not her outfit was fit for walking around in the wild.
• Temporary Online Content: She is only available through the first phase of the Obsidian Festival event. Ultimately a Subversion when the Heart of Surging Flame event was made permanently accessible, allowing all players to gain her eventually.
• Theme Naming: "Ceylon" is the old name for Sri Lanka, but it specifically refers to its eponymous tea in this context. Her Ninja Maid has a codename that refers to black tea, accordingly.
• True Blue Femininity: Her dress being a dark blue helps solidify her as one of the most overtly feminine Operators, especially with the outfit.
• Vague Age: The game doesn't directly state her age, though some hints can give an estimation. Schwarz's profile confirms that the age difference between her and Ceylon is nine years^note  When Schwarz and Ceylon first met, they were twelve and three years old, respectively. If one takes into account of Schwarz's age in the present likely being at least 26 years old, this would place Ceylon's age at a minimum of 17 years old.

A Durin man who went to the surface to become a doctor.

---

• Boring, but Practical: While his fellow Wandering Medics Mulberry and Honeyberry are generally considered to have a more powerful kit than him, Chestnut's lower rarity makes him a considerably cheaper option to raise, and while his skills may not have the same coverage as the other two, they are still good enough to get the job done.
• Older Than They Look: As a Durin, he's very short, but he is described as a man, not a boy, nor a young man, and is old enough to be a doctor.
• The One Guy: Zigzagged Trope. While he is the second released male Medic after Ansel. He is the first and male Durin since Myrtle and Durin herself in nearly three years since the game's launch and remains the lone male Durin Operator until the release of Minimalist in the Summer event "Ideal City: Carnival in Endless Summer".

An alternate version of Eyjafjalla as she appears in So Long, Adele, donning her parents' attire during her travels to Siesta to investigate her parents' legacy.

---

• Barrier Warrior: Her second skill heals all allies in range and creates a barrier over them that blocks all elemental damage equal to up to 900% of Eyja's ATK.
• Brick Joke: Emperor spends parts of "So Long, Adele" trying to hunt down his vinyl records after Dolly's sheep stole them. Eyja's Operator file reveals the sheep kept them when she went back to Rhodes Island, with Emperor subsequently following and scribbling graffiti to demand they get returned.
• Coat Cape: She wears her mother's old coat like this due to it being too large for her.
• Gameplay and Story Segregation: It isn't indicated in her story nor profile where Eyja's new healing Arts come from, as she's only depicted using her signature fire abilities even in her event, with the only link between the two being their shared volcanic origins.
• Gratuitous Foreign Language: Her title, "Hvít Aska", is Icelandic for "white ash", and likely refers to the ash left behind by eruptions which can nurture future life. Fittingly considering both sides of a volcano ^note  While it's obviously rather risky living near a volcano, people have been doing so because the ground surrounding it tends to be more fertile , this version of Eyja trades her highly destructive magma Arts for powerful healing abilities, and a central part of her character arc is the healing process from her parents' traumatic deaths.
• Green Thumb: She causes the tree branch that she uses as a staff to bloom in her Elite 2 art.
• Handicapped Badass: As she's a future Eyjafjalla, her deafness is near-complete and she has to rely on lip-reading in order to understand others. Nevertheless, she's still a 6-star.
• Image Song: "Miss You".
• In-Series Nickname: Swire coins "Eyja" as a short nickname for Eyjafjalla while trying to get her attention.
• Mechanically Unusual Fighter: With her first skill, Eyja is currently the only Wandering Medic capable of healing elemental damage off of unhealable units like Juggernauts, Mushas, Reapers, and even summoned units.
• Regenerating Health: Her first talent grants periodic healing of both HP and elemental damage to the ally she's healing, and can stack it up to 3 times.
• Spam Heal: Eyja's third skill turns her range global and fires off her healing in 5 rapid bursts, prioritizing the most injured allies.
• Status Buff: Her second talent grants a 6% boost to Max HP to all allies within Eyja's healing range while reducing their Elemental Damage taken by 12%, and her third skill amplifies this boost by up to 5 times the potency.
• Strong Family Resemblance: Her character PV shows the appearance of her parents, and Eyjafjalla looks strikingly similar to both, and in particular is a near carbon copy of her mother Magna.
• Teen Genius: Eyjafjalla has grown into a young teenager between 1097 and 1099. However, she's still a highly-accomplished volcanologist who has gone on multiple expeditions to different volcanoes, published more research papers, and made an appearance in a documentary during that time.
• Tragic Keepsake: Her protective coat is the same one her mother used to wear.

Folinic, an Operator from the Medical Department, has officially taken on combat medic duties.

Rarity: ★★★★★

ID: No. 345

Subclass: Medic

Tags: Healing, DPS

Skills: Max-Dosage Infusion, Compound Drug Shell

Talents: Drug Inhibition Techniques

Affiliation: Rhodes Island

Race: Feline

Birthday: August 18

Height: 164cm

"I am Folinic from the Medical Department, and I am now participating in field medic missions. Meanwhile, per Dr. Kal'tsit's request, I will also help you manage your health. I look forward to working with you."

An aggressive, hotheaded combat medic and Kal'tsit's student whom she rescued from Ursus.

---

• All for Nothing: After spending most of the time in Wolumonde thirsty for revenge, GreyThroat returns from her investigation and declares that the alleged culprit of Atro's murder is already long dead. Folinic smiles emptily to herself as she ends up gaining nothing from her quest.
• Animal Motif: Mongoose. Her E2 art shows one on her shoulder alongside several snakes, recalling the fact that mongooses are effective snake killers.
• Anti-Debuff: Her Elite 1 talent Drug Inhibition Technique permanently reduces the duration of status effects inflicted on her by 50%. At Elite 2, it also significantly decreases her damage taken from all Geo Effects.
• Combat Medic: She's notable for being a Medic who is not only capable of defending herself, but is known to actively and aggressively seek out opportunities to incapacitate opponents during operations. Fittingly, as noted in Mechanically Unusual Fighter, she's the first medic that can attack enemies directly. With her second skill active, Folinic basically turns into a AoE Caster for the skill's duration.
• Fantastic Racism: As a Feline living in Ursus, Folinic suffered heavy discrimination at the hands the majority Ursin population. Her operator files reveal that she has developed a strong distaste for the Ursus Empire political body due to the hardships she has had to endure.
• Good Is Not Soft: She might be a medic who ultimately cares for people despite her abrasive attitude, but she's still not above doing questionable acts in order to fulfil her tasks, and shows no remorse towards her enemies.
  Folinic (to an infected rioter): The substance I just sprayed on you is both volatile and toxic. Tell me where Biederman is and I'll give you the antidote. Or you can enjoy the next few hours vomiting between hallucination episodes.

  Folinic: As long as the wicked can be punished, what's a little bit of criticism? I don't mind spilling these poisons on my enemies. They deserve it.
• Hair-Trigger Temper: Folinic's aggresive, hotheaded personality means that she is very easily irritated and shouts unecessarily very often, to the point where Suzuran is usually trying to calm her down during "Twilight of Wolumonde". Fortunately she seems self-aware of this, and often apologizes or leaves to calm herself once she's realized how irritated she's become. "A Walk in the Dusk" reveals this is a trait shared with her mother, to the point she abandoned her daughter for it.
• Hidden Depths: Her spartan and borderline workaholic lifestyle is noted by those who know her to be an attempt to keep herself focused on the present, lest she relapse into the traumatic memories from her past.
  If she doesn't exhaust herself during the day, she won't be able to sleep at night.
• The Lost Lenore: A platonic version with Atro, who Folinic was extremely close friends with. She does not take news of her death well.
• Meaningful Name: Her namesake is "folinic acid", which is used as a medication. Folinic specifically picked that name since it was the very first term she failed to memorize from her textbook.
• Mechanically Unusual Fighter: Folinic was the first and, until the release of the Incantation Medic subclass, the only Medic who is capable of directly attacking an enemy.^note (Discounting the playable version of Kal'tsit, who attacks enemies indirectly via a summon.) With her S2 Compound Drug Shell, Folinic will prioritize hitting nearby enemies while it's active, which will then heal everyone near the target while dealing Arts damage to them.
• Ornamental Weapon: The Lasting Arrowroot skin gives Folinic a bow that she never actually uses. Her base animation shows her raising the bow to a firing position, before stopping as she didn't have a quiver of arrows to go with it.
• Parental Substitute: She basically considers Kal'tsit her adoptive mother.
• Roaring Rampage of Revenge: She nearly goes on one in Wolumonde when she discovers her friend Atro was murdered by one of the townspeople, to the point where she has to be snapped out of it multiple times. Naturally, when it's discovered that the culprit was already dead, she fell into despair once she realized her quest for revenge had been All for Nothing.
• Strong Family Resemblance: She resembles her mother, Lillia, fairly strongly◊.
• Teacher's Pet: Out of all of the medics that have studied under Kal'tsit, Folinic has ended up being Kal'tsit's most favored student. This is likely due to a promise Kal'tsit made to her late mother Lilya, who asked her to take her daughter in should she ever pursue the path of medicine.
• Temporary Online Content: Folinic is the welfare operator of "Twilight of Wolumonde", and is recruited by completing TW-4 for the first time. Additional potential tokens are available in the event store.
• Token Minority: Folinic is a Feline, however she's designed after mongooses instead of actual cats, thus suggesting that the name of the race may encompass Feliformia instead of just specifically Felidae and Pantherinae.
• Workaholic: Folinic possesses a highly rigorous lifestyle to the point much of her free time is spent on her work in some way. Unlike the many popular examples however, as a medical professional, Folinic leads a very healthy lifestyle.
  (...) not all operators have the luxury of emulating Folinic's lifestyle, namely getting up at 6 every morning and being in bed by 9, running around the deck for an hour every morning, then showering and eating before heading to work. Not to mention, Folinic also doesn't touch tobacco or alcohol, doesn't party, only socializes as necessary, and spends the rest of her time in a research lab, clinic, or library to improve herself. Only on weekends does she take a day to satisfy her interests in hunting. For most operators, such a spartan lifestyle is... out of the question.
• You Killed My Father: She has an eternal enmity with Ursus as she believes the country is responsible for her mother's death.

Rarity: ★★★★

Subclass: Medic

Tags: Healing

Skills: Vitality Restoration, Vitality Restoration - Wide Range

Talents: Battlefield Medic

Affiliation: Rhodes Island

Race: Archosauria

Birthday: May 1

Height: 163cm

"I'm Medic Operator Gavial. First things first... do not judge me by my appearance. Got it?"

A former warrior from an Acuhallan tribe, now a dedicated yet peculiar healer with no concern for bedside manner.

---

• Animal Motif: Gavial's motif is all over the place. For starters, her codename is shorthand for "Gavialidae", which is the scientific name for the gharial family as a whole. However, the animal depicted behind her in her E2 art is not a gharial, but seems to be some kind of small crocodilian, likely Mugger or Siamese crocodiles based on the pattern of her tail.
• Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Despite her class, Gavial seems to prefer bashing people's heads in with her staff than actually healing anyone. Most of the story bits that involve her in some capacity have the characters wonder if she's out fighting someone again.
• Combat Medic: Unlike most other Rhodes Island medics, Gavial is a highly experienced mercenary and has a great depth of combat ability and experience. However, despite that, she voluntarily opts to take on a medical role in Rhodes Island. This comes into play with her Battlefield Medic talent, which offers buffs for all Medics. That said, like most Medics, she's still unable to directly attack enemies in battle.
• Cute Little Fangs: It's hard to see most of the time, but Gavial has noticeably pointed canine teeth. This is most apparent in her Combat Medic skin and during the events of "Gavial: The Great Chief Returns", where one of her CG expressions is an open-mouthed smile.
• Don't You Dare Pity Me!: "Gavial: The Great Chief Returns" reveals this was the reason why she left Acahualla. After she came down with Oripathy rescuing Tomimi from the mines, her tribespeople did everything they could to look after her so she could get all the rest she needed, with Tomimi in particular waiting on her hand and foot and refusing to leave her side. Gavial found all of this insulting, as she felt she could take care of herself and just wanted to get back to her old life. Being denied entry to the Great Chief's Ceremony was the last straw for her, prompting her to beat up everyone in her tribe before running away from home.
  Gavial: The reality is, around here, if you can't fight, you're nothing. A waste of space. I'd rather you let me put myself in danger than take away my freedom to do anything.
• The Dreaded: In a more humorous example, it's implied by her archive files and lines that her patients and other operators are terrified of getting treated by her due to her rather abrasive personality. Even Blaze is afraid of getting treated by her.
• Dr. Jerk: She is more focused on making sure her patients are cured than making them comfortable. This leads to her constantly being scolded by Kal'tsit and wondering why all of her patients are afraid of her. In Chapter 6, Blaze requests GreyThroat to help her walk instead of waiting for a medic, because the medic that was with the team is Gavial. Blaze specifically cites this trope as to why.
• Famed In-Story: Gavial is very famous among her tribe's territory due to her strength. She wants no part of this, though.
• The Heroine: Of "Gavial: The Great Chief Returns", as if that's not already obvious enough as it is.
• Green and Mean: She's a downplayed example; Gavial has some green and she's a non-villainous Dr. Jerk.
• I Just Want to Be Normal: Due to Acajutla's Might Makes Right culture, Gavial inadvertently became the chief of her clan after beating the shit out of everybody there due to Tomimi's smothering treatment of her. However, she didn't want the position and left in a huff, forcing Tomimi to take her spot. She still is the official leader, though, and more than proves it throughout the course of "Gavial: The Great Chief Returns". By the end, she takes the opportunity to transfer her Great Chief authority to Inam.
• Mechanically Unusual Fighter: Gavial is a ST Medic by default. However, while her S2 is active, she can heal everyone within her range simultaneously. This heal also applies per second instead of per attack interval, meaning it's not capped by her low ASPD.
• My Species Doth Protest Too Much: Archosaurias are commonly thought to be a species full of Proud Warrior Race Guys, so for Gavial to become a medical specialist instead of a fighter is an anomaly and hotly-debated topic. She is regarded as a black sheep due to her career choice, though, which was why she came to Rhodes Island in the first place.
• No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: She contracted Oripathy when she entered a collapsing Originium mine to save the people inside, especially Tomimi. As a result, she was exiled from her tribe, though she doesn't regret anything she did.
  • Ultimately it was a matter of perspective. Tomimi's archives and "Gavial: The Great Chief Returns" reveal that Gavial thought Tomimi was "ostracising" her when the latter was treating her and doting on her following the mine incident. This resulted in Gavial leaving after beating up other challengers in the chief selection ritual. The Doctor has the option to wish they themselves could be "ostracized" like that.
• Petite Pride: When a pair of Archosaurians are arguing whether fat or thin tails are better, she joins in as part of the pro-thin faction, using her own tail as an example.
• Squishy Wizard: Subverted, at least compared to other Medics. Gavial has surprisingly high defense, being the highest of all Medic operators after taking into account her Trust stat boost. This is further boosted by her Battlefield Medic talent.
• Super-Strength: While not on the level of Skadi, Gavial is still shown to be freakishly strong, as she is the only Rhodes Island medic physically strong enough to challenge Nian and win in contests of strength just to get her to take her medical checkups. She manages to catch a punch from Big Ugly, Eunectes's house-sized mecha, with her bare hands and without any support from anyone else.
• Support Party Member: Being a Medic, she's already this, but her skills and talent can actually put her in this category.
  • Battlefield Medic is a talent that makes it such that as soon as Gavial is deployed, all Medics will have their ATK buffed by at least 7%, and their DEF by at least 70 for anywhere between 17 and 19 seconds at Elite 1.
  • Vitality Restoration buffs the target ally in the next healing, and heals them for at least 20% of Gavial's attack, and it increases by at least 40% if their HP is lower than 50%. The buff however, lasts 4 seconds.
  • Vitality Restoration - Wide Range trades off healing power and the strength of her buff in exchange for healing everyone within range, and lasting 7 seconds.
• Unreliable Narrator: She narrates her own medical report, and much like Ptilopsis, she says 'minor infection, nothing to worry about' when 15 percent of her cells has been assimilated.
  • Her archives explain that she left Sargon because she felt discriminated after getting infected with Oripathy. However, "Gavial: The Great Chief Returns" reveals that Sargon is actually a lot more tolerant of Oripathy than the rest of the world (since Oripathy, or Stone Disease as it's called in the region, is pretty much seen as just another illness in a tribal society where you're likely to be killed by any number of other diseases or dangers), and what she saw as "discrimination" was Tomimi overly coddling her after getting Infected, which Gavial took as an insult.
• Willfully Weak: Her status as a 4* operator appears to be a result of her decision to be a medic rather than a frontline fighter. Throughout "Gavial: The Great Chief Returns" it's made clear that both in the past and in the present Gavial is considered the strongest fighter from her home, stronger even than Eunectes, a 6* Defender who specializes in beating up enemies by herself. Even as a child she was capable of beating up everyone other than Eunectes, who managed to fight her to a standstill.
• You Didn't Ask: Ends up on the receiving end of this one. During "Gavial: The Great Chief Returns" when she treats an Archosauria, Yota, for his Oripathy his brother, Yogi, says he contracted it from the mines used by Eunectes' tribe. Gavial is led to believe that Eunectes is risking her tribe for the sake of her machines; however, when Gavial confronts Eunectes, the latter states that she advised her tribe to stay away from the depths to avoid getting infected and that Yota didn't listen to her. When Gavial asks Yogi why he didn't say that earlier, his response is this trope's name.

Talents: One-Man Boot Camp

Affiliation: Victorian Empire

Race: Feline

Birthday: September 21

Height: 190cm

A former Victorian military doctor, having signed up at Rhodes Island following the events of "The Rides to Lake Silberneherze".

---

• Animal Motifs: Cats from his Feline race, specifically the Maine Coon cat from his tail and ear tufts. One can be seen in the background of his Elite 2 art.
• Artificial Limbs: His right leg is a prosthetic.
• Breaking Old Trends:
  • He's the first welfare Wandering Medic, as well as the first male 5-star one.
  • He's the first Operator that features as both a playable unit and the final boss in his debut event. ^noteDusk was present on the final stage of Who is Real but not as an attackable enemy, while Dorothy could be fought in Dorothy's Vision but was only an elite-level enemy and not the final boss. While Minimalist is technically the final boss of his debut event, Ideal City, the threat comes from his crafted drone instead of Minimalist himself as he doesn't actually attack your Operators when the drone is destroyed.
• Chest of Medals: He wears three medals on his coat: the Distinguished Service Order (DSO), the War Medal 1939–1945, and the 1939–1945 Star.
• Classy Cane: Uses one that goes well with his formal ensemble.
• Combat Medic: He was a military doctor prior to joining Rhodes Island. And if his boss version was anything to go by, he's no slouch in combat himself - albeit averted in his playable unit, being a Medic that lacks any method to do damage to the enemy.
• Friend to All Living Things: He's not only a field medic, but also an trained veterinarian, with one of his assistant lines asking the Doctor to assist him in helping a pregnant burdenbeast. In "The Rides to Lake Silberneherze" he's shown to be so attached to the animals he gets Mistaken for Cheating over a female burdenbeast he treated and named.
• Happily Married: He's mentioned to have a spouse, and is currently the only playable Operator that has one.
• Mirror Match: Nothing stops you from using him in RS-8, where he is featured as the boss enemy.
• Old Soldier: His profile shows he has 41 years of combat experience, and he's a very competent medic.
• One Degree of Separation: He hails from a branch of the Caster family, and his presence in "The Rides to Lake Silberneherze" was because the Duke of Caster ordered him to attend the event as her diplomat.
• Real Name as an Alias: He uses his first name as his Operator codename.
• Reassigned to Antarctica: He was assigned to Rhodes Island following his failed mission in "The Rides to Lake Silberneherze" to crack down on the Karlan Trade Company's work on expanding Kjerag as what he believes to be a form of punishment, although he expected worse to happen to him and is fairly content with the outcome.
• Silver Fox: He might be an old man, but that doesn't stop him from looking gorgeous and handsome.
• Sharp-Dressed Man: Dons a mink coat over his uniform as his standard attire.
• Temporary Online Content: He's the welfare operator of "The Rides to Lake Silberneherze".
• Worthy Opponent: Towards Degenbrecher who he regards with a mixture of admiration and terror as she was able to hold the line against him and two thousand soldiers under his command, with him attempting to persuade her to stand down both out of respect and concern for the lives of his men that she was effortlessly defeating.

A responsible medical intern in Reserve Team A1 with a "talent" for nutritious meals.

---

• Breaking Old Trends: In terms of voice actors, Hibiscus is the first Operator whose English voice actor (Yuuki Luna, who debuted in Lingering Echoes for Global servers) is based in the United States, as opposed to the United Kingdom. Later released Operators, such as Pozëmka (Alyson Leigh Rosenfeld), Minimalist (Caleb Yen), Cardigan (Anjali Kunapaneni), and Istina (Risa Mei), would follow suit.
• Com Mons: Like her sister Lava is to the AoE Casters, Hibiscus is one common Medic.
• Cordon Bleugh Chef: Her lunchboxes are nutritious and edible, but they also taste horrible. The Doctor (an Extreme Omnivore) has even tried to get Vigna to eat them instead, much to her dismay.
  Tadaaaaaah! A special healthy meal just for you, Doctor! Uncaffeinated coffee and a hamburger without meat, cheese, pickles, or lettuce! (That's not even a hamburger anymore!) Oh, and a salad comprised of 12 different vegetables!
• Floral Theme Naming: Hibiscus is named after the flowering plant which also has supposed medicinal benefits aside from being a perfume. It could also be served as an herbal tea.
• Horned Humanoid: She has two horns on the sides of her head.
• Mythical Motifs: As a member of the Sarkaz race, her motif is based around demons.
• Nice Girl: She is a sweetheart.
• Sitcom Archnemesis: She is one to her twin sister, Lava. They are a curious case in that Hibiscus doesn't seem to see Lava as her nemesis(ter), similarly to the 'rivalry' between My Melody and Kuromi.
• Starter Mon: She's the first-clear reward of TR-1, making her one of your first Medics.

Doctor, I'm back–Umm, Doctor, I know my last field assignment took longer than usual, but don't look at me like you don't recognize me... Medic Operator Hibiscus, reporting in.

An alternate version of Hibiscus representing her after maturing and growing into a veteran under Rhodes Island.

---

• Breaking Old Trends:
  • She is the first "alternate" Operator to be added to the permanent headhunting pool, and the first "alternate" of a 3-star Operator that is neither the same subclass as her 3-star version nor a "welfare" Operator.
  • In terms of voice actors, Hibiscus is the first Operator whose English voice actor (Yuuki Luna, who debuted in Lingering Echoes for Global servers) is based in the United States, as opposed to the United Kingdom. Later released Operators, such as Pozëmka (Alyson Leigh Rosenfeld), Minimalist (Caleb Yen), Cardigan (Anjali Kunapaneni), and Istina (Risa Mei), would follow suit.
• Chronic Hero Syndrome: As "Lingering Echoes" shows, Hibiscus is all too willing to put the lives of her patients above her own, often putting her life at serious risk to help them. However, other Rhodes Island medics have pointed out this does not align with Rhodes Island policy and she should work harder on focusing on her own safety.
• Combat Medic: She attacks enemies, then heals her allies for half the damage dealt.
• Cordon Bleugh Chef: Her cooking still tastes horrible even after all the years, to the point that Ebenholz, Kreide, Czerny and Ursula are disturbed by the taste of her food in "Lingering Echoes".
  Ebenholz (buying street food from a vendor): Finally, something normal to eat. Wait, huh? You even packed some of her 'health food' to go?!
  Kreide: I must admit the taste was rather odd, but I don't think it's good to waste food.
  Ebenholz: You can eat that yourself tomorrow!
  • One of her voice lines has her admitting that she has modified the flavor of her meals based on other people's input, finally averting this trope.
• Damage-Increasing Debuff: Her talent causes her to temporarily increase the Arts damage taken by her targets.
• Fantastic Racism: On the receiving end of the common fear of the Sarkaz. She claims that she never saw much difference between Caprinae and Sarkaz horns herself, but when she saved a child in Leithanien, the child screamed and ran away when she came to and saw Hibiscus' horns. This causes her to become worried about frightening her patients.
• Fanservice Pack: Hibiscus became taller and much better-endowed compared to her original 3-star version, which is shown rather nicely with her attire.
• Floral Theme Naming: The hibiscus flower, as mentioned before in her original version's folder. Now that she is a 5-star, a hibiscus flower appears behind her in her Elite 2 artwork.
• Ill Girl: A conversation with Lava at the end of Lingering Echoes reveals her exposure to the Voice of Terra has significantly worsened her Oripathy, requiring medical treatment to stabilize her condition. To put things in perspective, her Originum assimilation rate was 7.4% when she was a trainee, but after the events of "Lingering Echoes" it has jumped to 14%.
• Musical Assassin: She wields a flute to fire off her Arts. However, this is Subverted as she in Lingering Echoes admits she isn't any good at playing it, with Lava even calling her playing "the worst sound she's ever heard" though it's ambiguous as to whether she is genuinely untalented or if Lava is simply being catty, as the Infected locals of Vyseheim have no issue following up on a tune she plays.
• Reasonable Authority Figure: She's greatly mellowed out from her intern days. Whereas before she would be extremely bossy and attempt to force those around her to conform to her health plans, she now takes a more hands off approach and uses her natural charm and diplomatic means to convince patients to see things her way.
• She Is All Grown Up: Hibiscus has physically and mentally matured by this point. Gone is the cute-yet-bossy young Medic intern of Rhodes Island that likes to force her health plans upon others; instead, she has become a beautiful young woman who prefers to use her natural charm or other diplomatic means to get her plans listened to.
• Stepford Smiler: There are concerns that field operators escorting Hibiscus regularly report her facing hostility from her patients during field operations, but Hibiscus never reports any of it herself. Lava points out that Hibiscus has a bad habit of internalizing all of the hostility and discrimination she recieves.
• Teen Genius: It's noted that Hibiscus rose through the ranks of the Medical Department with lightning speed, starting from a lowly intern to becoming a senior doctor managing her own group of interns in just a few years. Most of the time it takes a intern around 5-10 years to reach Hibiscus' level assuming they don't drop out first.
• Vocal Evolution: As an older version of Hibiscus, her voice is lower and sounds more mature.

"Nice to meet you, I'm the new Medical Department intern, Honeyberry. I'm assuming you're the Doctor...? Hmm, it's just like Dr. Kal'tsit said. You're different enough from everyone else that I can tell you at a glance!"

An apprentice herbalist doctor and psychologist in training, with a talent for jumping from high places and a fervent insistence on the mental benefits of sugar intake.

---

• Animal Motif: She's based on sugar gliders, complete with a cute hooded cloak that evokes a sugar glider's gliding membranes and her fluffy tail, and her colour scheme (grey hood over white dress) also reflects a sugar glider's colours with their grey fur and white underbelly. True to that nature as a Glider, she likes making artificial treehouses, climbing up to high places, and consuming sweet things. Despite this however, her race is Zalak, while sugar gliders are actually marsupials and are totally unrelated to rodents.
• Disappeared Dad: Honeyberry's Operator Archive files reveal that her father left her and her mother due to contracting Oripathy and was forced to leave the village Honeyberry once lived in for it, leaving behind his wife and still young daughter as well while doing so. He never came back ever since he was exiled from the village, and Honeyberry and her mother were also exiled out of fear that they'd catch her father's disease.
• Genki Girl: Vivacious, energetic, kindhearted, and dedicated to the happiness and well-being of her peers.
• Ignored Expert: One of her goals is to help people overcome the rumors and prejudice surrounding Oripathy, particularly regarding its transmission. She's done extensive research on it and shared it without reservation, but much to her chagrin, most people simply don't believe it out of the irrational fear deeply rooted in the status quo. This is shown in full force in her Operator Record, where Honeyberry nearly has a crisis due to her home village refusing to accept this despite all the empirical evidence she presents, and even continuing to shun her for being the child of an Infected and not even an Infected herself.
  Warfarin: Everyday contact with Infected won't lead to Oripathy transmission, that's common sense; a majority of people don't believe this, which is also common sense.
• Loophole Abuse: Her talent works on all ranged operators...regardless whether they are currently on a ranged tile or not. This can come in with operators who can be placed on any valid tile (like Shift Specialists) or with Muelsyse's Flowing Shape, even if they are currently in a melee position.
• Serious Business: Honeyberry has a Sweet Tooth and treats having to be able to have as much sugar intake as she can take very seriously. This got her into a debate with Hibiscus to a point she gathered a massive number of journals and/or theories from all over Terra about the pros of having sugar in one's diet, impressing Hibiscus to the point where she ended up conceding to her points, which also had the effect of improving the latter's cooking. ^note  Honeyberry isn't wrong here, as many fruits contain natural sugars and yet are still considered to be healthy despite their sugar contents.

"Doctor, my appearance here indicates that the situation has turned for the worse. You must concentrate... on continuing to accomplish your mission."

Head doctor of Rhodes Island Medical Department and Amiya's mentor. Much of her backstory is unknown, and she seems to have an uncanny wealth of knowledge about Terra and its history...

---

• The Ageless: It's shown in Chapter 7 that Kal'tsit is far older than she appears to be. When she encounters Patriot, he's shocked that she hasn't aged a day since the last time he saw her. Keep in mind, the last time Patriot saw Kal'tsit was when he left Kazdel, which occurred decades ago. If comments on Weibo referencing the movie "The Man from Earth" by Hoshieve, the artist for Amiya and Kal'tsit are any indication, she is actually immortal.
  • Old Isin's prophetic dreams reveal she was at the Kheshig's conquest of the golden sands, which happened thousands of years ago. "Stultifera Navis" further ups the ante with her explicitly stating her age as being in the tens of thousands.
  • Chapter 10 outright confirms her immortality with her old friend, the King of the Nachzerer, calling her an "ageless dame" when they meet again.
• Agent Scully: Downplayed given that the powers are real and measurable, but she doesn't seem to hold more occult/esoteric Arts in high regard and not seeing them as having practical application in modern science, given her comment about Astesia's astrology power.
• Ambiguously Human: In several conversations with Alty of Alive Until Sunset, it's heavily implied that her being is clearly not of the natural order—as she refers to Kal'tsit by the name of AMa-10, and off-handedly comments that she is like a 'talking X-ray machine', something Kal'tsit herself does not refute.
  Kal'tsit: I also wish I was a simple machine.
  • Amiya's module makes the implication that Kal'tsit is an organic Artificial Intelligence created by the precursor civilization as an AMa unit; meant to work in tandem with the Civilight Eterna, or the "Black Crown", to aid in cataloguing the world's history and make an active effort in averting the same fate that befell their civilization. Lone Trail outright confirms Kal'tsit is a sort of biological computer known as AMa-10 created by the Precursors to specifically aid the Doctor as their servant according to Preserver, the AI built around Trevor Friston's mind.
• Animal Motifs: Lynxes.
• Armor-Piercing Attack: Her third skill will buff Mon3tr's ATK and DEF while causing its attacks to deal true damage, making her one of the few sources of consistent true damage in the game.
• Ascended Fanfic: Kal'tsit initially was an Original Character for Pixiv Fantasia drawn by UmiNeko (her illustrator) 5 years ago before Arknights' development was initiated.
• The Atoner: Episode 11 reveals that her loyalty to Kazdel comes from the fact that she was the one responsible for destroying it in the first place through orchestrating a collaborated offense on the country with the help of Victoria, Gaul, and Leithania's armies, which led to the subsequent desolate conditions of its people, something she considers a deep enough crime she had wrought on them that she forgoes doing such an act again. When Theresa jokingly asked her at one time if she would commit the same violence upon Columbia for declaring its independence, Kal'tsit dismissed the notion as she just "isn't that person anymore". "Babel" would later reveal why this shift in her personality happened.
• Badass in a Nice Suit: She's worn a nice suit and she's a Combat Medic.
• Bearer of Bad News: Kal'tsit went to Lungmen in order to warn Wei Yenwu of the high possibility that the Reunion Movement would target Lungmen next after the fall of Chernobog. This is the primary reason why she requests a collaboration between Rhodes Island and Lungmen.
• The Beastmaster: In the story, she has a robotic dragon named Mon3tr for self-defense. In her playable form, she could summon it◊, which attacked in melee and (unlike other summons) could be deployed over and over again. While Mon3tr couldn't be healed conventionally (though only Kal'tsit can directly heal it), Kal'tsit had several ways to enhance its effectiveness:
  • Her reworked first talent can be now able to heal Mon3tr, but if it is deployed outside of Kal'tsit range, its DEF becomes zero.
  • With her second talent, deploying Mon3tr within Kal'tsit's attack range drastically increased its attack and defense stats. Her reworked second talent deals True Damage and stuns all enemies around it when its HP reaches zero (retreating manually does not count)
  • Kal'tsit's second skill was a passive that allowed Mon3tr to attack all nearby enemies and reduces its deployment cooldown. Additionally, every heal that Kal'tsit gave to other operators also restored Mon3tr's health, up to 150% of the original amount at maximum skill level. Her reworked second skill increases her own ASPD while Mon3tr gains AoE attacks based on its block count.
  • Her third skill (Kal'tsit being a 6*-equivalent like Amiya) caused Mon3tr to use powerful long-range Arts attacks at the cost of its health every second. This also buffed Kal'tsit's healing power and allowed her to directly heal Mon3tr. Her reworked third skill gives Mon3tr a massive boost to its ATK and DEF while dealing True Damage, its ATK will gradually decrease to normal within the duration and if this doesn't kill any enemies, it will lose half of its HP.
  • Also the reworked version of Kal'tsit could only gain SP if Mon3tr is on the field, and will lose all SP if it retreated.
• Bifauxnen: Her outfit during her visit to the Count's party in Victoria and she's looking dandy in the suit.
• Bilingual Bonus: The Cyrillic on Kaltsit's shoulder patch, "Линкс", beneath the Emergency Medical Response logo, is a phonetic transliteration of the word "Lynx." The logo seems to be Kal'tsit's own, and dates back to Kal'tsit's original concept art, but most of her disciples seem to also wear the EMR logo in some form or another, such as Folinic.
• Blood Knight: Mon3tr. Always ready to attack, makes disappointed noises whenever Kal'tsit orders him to stand down, and at one point makes happy noises when Elliott suggests killing as a solution.
• Body Horror: As Chapter 6 described, her Mon3tr is summoned out of her spine, and even Crownslayer is creeped out by the scene.
• Break Her By Talking: In Chapter 6, she is able to practically destroy Crownslayer's loyalty to Reunion with a single conversation about her family and what happened to Crownslayer's father in Ursus.
• Broken Bird: If the lyrics to Immutable are any indication, Kal'tsit is used to loss. Due to her sheer lifespan, she has had to cope with innumerable death, not limited to Theresa and Folinic's mother, Lillia. Nevertheless, she is still determined to press on and work towards improving the world, but she is extremely callous as a result. It is clear that Kal'tsit very rarely expresses her emotions earnestly. "Babel" would reveal that this is entirely the Doctor's fault after she learned the truth shortly after they killed Theresa about the nature of why Originium even exists on Terra in the first place and genuinely cannot forgive the fact she was built to help facilitate a genuinely monstrous race seeking to turn all life on Terra into genuine Human Resources for their energy needs.
• Broken Pedestal: "Babel" reveals that she was far more amicable to the Doctor in the past (the latter being her creator and thus the closest thing she had to a parent) until she learned that the Precursors, of whom the Doctor is a member, deliberately released Originium onto Terra with the intent of allowing it to cover the entire planet (and even created the native sophonts to help spread it via Oripathy) as part of a plan to save their own race from an unnamed problem. The pain of learning she was made to essentially genocide one planet to save another broke both her spirit and her trust in the Doctor, with the latter being so damaged that even with the Doctor undergoing amnesia that effectively killed their past self, she can't even begin to mend their relationship.
• Cats Are Mean: She's a snarky and rude Feline. Granted, unlike some examples, she isn't evil. She also wasn't always like this, as "Babel" later reveals.
• Combat Medic: By using Mon3tr, her playable incarnation was the only Medic who could directly deal damage to enemies. In fact, she was actually much better at fighting than, you know, actually healing people (which may be why the playable version was axed; see Promoted to Playable below).
  • In later chapter cut scenes, she participates in combat quite often by having Mon3ter attack people instead of ever healing anyone.
  • At the end of "A Walk in the Dust", she manages to defeat an Ursus Emperor's Blade in single combat. Keep in mind, all Emperor's Blades are virtual One Man Armies empowered by secret occult power drawn from "demons."
• Crippling Overspecialization: Kal'tsit's kit is heavily geared towards amplifying the sheer power of Mon3tr's offensive capabilities, but does not offer much in the way of increasing the versatility of her healing abilities compared to dedicated Medics, despite her longer range. If one tries to put her in a standard Medic role, they shouldn't be surprised that she performs poorly as a healer, especially since she prioritizes healing herself and Mon3tr over anyone else. Nevertheless, she brings a unique skillset and utility that is not seen in any Medic to date (except Folinic, to an extent), and will excel in a combat role as long as she sticks to it.
• Cryptic Conversation: When she suddenly speaks an Aegirian phrase to Skadi. ("Abyssal Hunters are bound by blood."), the cutscene ends after she says this line.
• Cutscene Power to the Max: In the story, Mon3tr is known to be capable of firing beams of energy as shown in various story episodes and its fight with Crownslayer in the anime. While this was part of its kit during Kal'tsit's playable form during the beta, Mon3tr is purely a Close-Range Combatant in gameplay.
• Death or Glory Attack: Command: Meltdown is this when used against single, heavy targets like Elites or Bosses. During the skill, Mon3tr will gain a massive amount of ATK and DEF, and deal True damage on every attack, making it incredibly durable and able to kill most targets in a few hits. However, if the target doesn't die in the first few seconds, the ATK buff will gradually decay so that Mon3tr will have trouble finishing them. And if Mon3tr fails to kill the target altogether, they'll lose half of their maximum health along with the defense buff, making them liable to get killed soon after.
• Defector from Decadence: Episode 6 reveals that she used to work for the Ursus Empire. However, she correctly predicted that Ursus would try to steal her research and was narrowly able to escape. "Babel" would also reveal Kal'tsit ended up becoming this against the Precursor race as a whole, and the original personality of the Doctor before their amnesia, once she learned the Awful Truth that they were behind the existence of Originium and Oripathy as to eventually harvest what remains from Terra after all is said and done.
• Determinator: It's mentioned that for one particularly intense surgery, Kal'tsit was at the operating table for 72 hours straight. She refuses to comment when Closure asks if she had to resort to doping in order to stay awake through it all.
• Dub-Induced Plot Hole: In Darknights' Memoir, following the death of Theresa and the fall of Babel W is shown fighting in the ruins of Kazdel with other Sarkaz mercs that had belonged to the previous organizations. When held by the collar, one reveals that he saw the walls of Babel painted red with the blood of his own, directly following a mention of Kal'tsit's name, suggesting she took bloody revenge for Theresa's death. This was left untranslated in the English version.
• Energy Weapon: In the story, Mon3tr is able to fire rays of energy from its mouth to destroy targets. However, it can't do this in-game, instead opting to use its claws.^note Back when Kal'tsit was playable in the Beta, it was able to, via her third skill.
• Even the Girls Want Her: When she dresses up in a suit for Count Vincent's party, both the men and women alike can't help but fawn over her looks. Heidi in particular is reduced to a nervous wreck in her presence, while another noblewoman just comes out and directly asks Kal'tsit if she was still single.
• Everyone Has Standards: Despite her moral ambiguity and cold practical personality, Kal'tsit makes it very clear in one of the epilogue scenes of "Grani and the Knight's Treasure" that she doesn't care about Skadi's or anyone's motivations for joining Rhodes Island as long as they follow the rules, because rules are extremely important, and she will not tolerate any blemishes on Rhodes Island's reputation. Additionally, Ansel notes she was visibly upset for the first time the day Kal'tsit brought Popukar to Rhodes Island, which is later revealed to be after rescuing her from her abusive slave owners, showing there's a line of evil that can shatter even Kal'tsit's stoic demeanor.
• Foil: To the Doctor. Kal'Tsit has been working with Rhodes Island as long as the Doctor has and this includes their Babel days, and it’s indicated that, before getting amnesia, the Doctor was much closer to her in terms of personality. Unlike the Feline, though, The Doctor is a relatively outgoing person who tries to bond with others, and is much more emotive than his colleague. This seems to be for the better, as the Doctor has lots of support from their operators, while Kal'Tsit is often isolated from others. There's an implication that while Kal'Tsit is what the doctor could become if they regain their old memories, the inverse is also true, meaning that if Kal'Tsit left behind her hatred and tried to live a bit, she'd end up like her rival.
• Glass Cannon: Despite it having impressive attack, Mon3tr (which she summons) becomes this if it's placed outside of her range, as doing so reduces its defense to 0...but at Elite 2, again putting emphasis on the 'cannon' part, as it also explodes when it dies, inducing a giant burst of true damage and a stun on top.
• Green and Mean: She downplays this; while Kal'tsit sports green, she's not evil and is more of a case of Good Is Not Nice.
• Good Is Not Nice: Kal'tsit is pretty much always portrayed as being rude, snarky, and impatient even with people who're close to her like Closure and Amiya. That doesn't mean she isn't one of the most dedicated characters in the setting to helping everybody she can and is dead set on curing Oripathy once and for all.
• Hidden Agenda Hero: While she is certainly dedicated to taking care of Amiya's health, it is very clear that Kal'tsit has her own ulterior motives for helping her and Rhodes Island. It also doesn't help that she keeps secrets from both the Doctor and Amiya and runs her own secret operations within Rhodes Island.
• Hidden Depths: Kal'tsit speaks many languages and is particularly knowledgeable about a large swathe of Terra's history. That is, put it simply, because she has witnessed most of it firsthand.
• Hoist by Their Own Petard: Kal'tsit's second talent, Non-Damaging Restructuring, causes Mon3tr to explode upon death, meaning that if an enemy manages to kill it, they might very well be caught in the explosion and be killed themselves.
• Hypocrite: Despite hating the Doctor for being ruthless pre-amnesia, she's not the paragon of virtue herself.
  • In Vigilo, she opposed the Doctor's suggestion to exile Marco, claiming that it's not prudent to release a soldier who openly attacked his commander.
  • She also wanted Scout punished for a failed mission, while the Doctor argues against it, citing Scout's record and the fact that he managed to avoid casualties as he retreated.
  • Episode 11 reveals that 200 years ago, she led a coalition to destroy Kazdel under the pretext of "if you don't destroy them, they will destroy Terra", further promoting discrimination of the Sarkaz and leaving them in a state of disunion. However Episode 12 implies she had no choice in the matter due to the systematic annihilation of Kazdel over the eons to prevent a bigger calamity emerging as a consequence of what the original Sarkaz civilization did that turned Terra into the hellhole it is now, and as a component of a system meant to preserve life, she was compelled to ensure that life would be protected even if it meant destroying just as many lives back then. "Babel" would eventually confirm this to be the case, as Kal'tsit had not known the true purpose of stoking conflict on Terra was just to further the spread of Originium and stall any attempts at correcting Oripathy, not to mention learning the why after the Doctor kills Theresa firmly sets her on the path of being The Atoner against everything she used to do.
• Image Song: "Immutable".
• Impossibly-Low Neckline: Her outfit, which also exposes her shoulders.
• Jerkass to One: While she's obviously a very distant person, at worst she carries herself with passive-aggressive professionalism against someone like Wei Yenwu. However, she doesn't even try to hide her dislike of the Doctor and openly tells them she hates them and wants nothing more than to take revenge. "Babel" reveals that this is because the Doctor, being a member of the Precursor race, is essentially responsible for everything wrong with Terra.
• Kill Me Now, or Forever Stay Your Hand: In Episode 6, she confronts Crownslayer in Lungmen and gives her an opportunity to kill her. However, she easily defeats Crownslayer and tells her about the true circumstances behind the death of Crownslayer's father, shaking her faith in Reunion.
• Lady in a Power Suit: During "A Walk in the Dust", she attended a noble's party in Victoria wearing a very sharp suit. Young Heidi certainly appreciated it.
• Leet Speek: She is accompanied by her robotic "pet" Mon3tr.^note Based on Kal'tsit's earlier concept from Pixiv Fantasia, it is based on Mon5tr, which can be read as "monster". This is confirmed once she's made playable.
• Locked Out of the Loop:
  • Amiya has empath abilities, but she keeps them secret from Kal'tsit, and even encourages Frostleaf to do the same when she found out about Amiya's hidden powers. By the time of Chapter 7 however, Kal'tsit is already aware of it.
  • In "Babel", even though Kal'tsit was actively assisting the pre-amnesia Doctor, she was not aware of the Doctor's secret objective to further the spread Originium an Oripathy across Terra on the behalf of the Precursor race and thought her purpose was to find a cure for it. It's not until after Theresa's death and Babel's collapse that she finds out about the Doctor's secret and works to right their wrongs.
• Lost Lenore: She may not show it, but Kal'tsit was deeply affected by Theresa's death as if she had lost a very close family member, to the point where she changed from an optimistic Wide-Eyed Idealist to a jaded Knight in Sour Armor.
• Mama Bear: She's very protective of Amiya. In general, she has soft spot for a lot of orphans; she raised Folinic when her mother was killed by Ursus, she bought out Popukar from slavery after hearing that her slaver was abusive, and she pretty much admits that Red is her daughter in Chapter 8. Closure even notes that Kal'tsit picked up too many strays after seeing Heavyrain and what Kal'tsit had done to save her life in "Operation Intelligence". The events of "A Walk in the Dust" also detail that she went out of her way to help Passenger survive when he was younger, even though all she really needed to protect was the box that his professor asked him to safeguard. It's implied that she picked up this habit from Theresa, who had a penchant for adopting orphans herself.
• Meaningful Rename: "Babel" reveals that the Doctor named her "Kal'tsit" instead of AMa-10.
• Mechanically Unusual Fighter: Kal'tsit plays more like a Summoner than an actual Medic, with her entire kit being solely geared to supporting and buffing Mon3tr and her actual healing abilities being rather poor.
  • In addition, she has an extended range compared to all other Medics, which is highly unusual since the game lumps her in with all of the standard Medics instead of putting her into another archetype. Her low healing power, ability to summon Mon3tr, and targeting priority are tied to her base stats and talent, but since attack ranges are strictly tied to archetypes and are usually consistent across them, her extended range remains inexplicable.
• Meido: She wears a maid dress when going undercover during the events of "A Walk in the Dust".
• Mighty Glacier: Mon3tr has decent DEF, extremely high ATK, and an ungodly amount of HP that far surpasses any other deployable unit, only being beaten by Ling's S3 fused dragon, but attacks rather slowly in addition to only being able to hit one thing at a time without Kal'tsit's S2. Not so much if it's placed outside of Kal'tsit's range as that reduces its DEF to 0, making it liable to die quickly despite its monumental health.
• Mythical Motifs: The Lynx, as per her race. In several Native American cultures, they are said to be secret keepers, and in Norse Mythology, they can in addition to that see into the future with their bright eyes and hear people's hearts with their plumed ears. Kal'tsit herself certainly seems to be such a secret keeper.
• Nervous Wreck: While a stoic figure who rarely, if ever, allows emotion to present itself on her, Kal'tsit is considered this by a few of her acquaintances in her long life, as High Priest remarks in "Ideal City", as she considered throughout history the state of the world so hopelessly out of control she needed to be a direct force in it to keep things from getting worse, something even now she continues to do for better and for worse.
• New Job as the Plot Demands: Prior to her current position as the Medical Department head at Rhodes Island, she served as the royal advisor for Theresa in Kazdel, worked in Chernobog as a scientific researcher, served as an adviser for Columbian private military contractors, worked as a maid in an elite Ursus resort for the sake of infiltration, and presented herself as a Laterano cleric in Victoria. Due to her long age, it's implied that she's had even more jobs in her past and the ones discussed or shown are just scratching the surface.
• The Nicknamer: She's the one assigning codenames for a lot of the operators, especially the younger recruits such as Myrrh.
• One-Woman Army: She fights off a gang of mercenaries in "A Walk in the Dust" by herself, and successfully fights off an Emperor's Blade in single combat, who each qualifies as examples of this trope.
• O.O.C. Is Serious Business:
  • When the Doctor remembers a vision of Priestess and asks Kal'tsit who she is, it's the first time in the story that Kal'tsit seems utterly shocked.
  • Kal'tsit also loudly exclaims in shock after Theresis declares his intent to follow through with his plans anyway after grievously injuring her, despite listening to her pleas to avoid a potential armageddon through his actions.
  • Chapter 12 has Kal'tsit reveal in a moment of vulnerability her true nature Beneath the Mask after being moved by W into a safehouse while she recovers; admitting that she is an immensely tired old woman who has seen too much pain over the eras of history in a way that makes her look more like a corpse as she admits her fears to the Sarkaz mercenary.
• Promoted to Playable: Inverted at first. Kal'tsit used to be playable in the Chinese beta, but she was taken off the roster when the game properly launched. Why she wasn't made playable again hasn't been elaborated on yet, but player opinions at the time tend to agree that she was too damn powerful. And, given some of the other bombshells the story has been dropping in the live game, Hypergryph may have concluded that the nature of her then-planned playability tipped the hand of certain possible story beats far too early. Played straight by the release of the Under Tides event during the 2nd anniversary.
• Really 700 Years Old: Kal'tsit herself confirms during the events of "Stultifera Navis" that she is well over ten thousand years old.
• Reasonable Authority Figure: Whenever Kal'tsit appears in other operator's files it's usually to chastise poor medical practice from her fellow doctors or stress the importance of letting their patients retain the freedom to make their own decisions. She also deliberately gives Amiya a lot of freedom as the leader of Rhodes Island, including allowing decisions she personally doesn't agree with, like rescuing the Doctor, in the name of letting her grow as a person.
• Restraining Bolt: "Lonetrail" reveals that Priestess implanted a directive in Kal'tsit that prevents her from talking about the true nature of Originium to the Doctor.
• Resurrective Immortality: Her module's description reveals that Kal'tsit can indeed die, but she can resurrect herself, and has done so multiple times throughout history. In Chapter 11, Theresis mentions that he personally slew Kal'tsit 200 years in the past and witnessed her resurrection.
• Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: While the story has plenty of them due to its peculiar writing style, Kal'tsit in particular is the most notorious for this kind of speech, to the point it's frequently made fun of in the fandom.
• Stance System: Her modules focus on different playstyles.
  • Her X module focuses on Kal'tsit's second talent, which can now activate when Mon3tr is at half HP as well. Naturally, this fits a suicidal playstyle when you're planning to repetitively drop Mon3tr outside of Kal'tsit's range in order to rapidly stunbomb the enemies at another side of the map.
  • Meanwhile, her Y module is more fit for a generalist playstyle by buffing Kal'tsit's own healing to melee units (which almost always will be Mon3tr) and giving Mon3tr itself more stats when deployed within Kal'tsit's range. This encourages the traditional way Kal'tsit's kit was intended and directly buffs its own laneholding capability.
• Stunned Silence: Kal'tsit has an awkward silence when she meets the recently-awakened Doctor in Lungmen. And when they finally have some free time, she had to take a deep breath before she welcomes them back to Rhodes Island.
• Taking You with Me: At Elite 2, she gains the Non-Damaging Restructuring talent, which causes Mon3tr to explode if killed, dealing massive true damage to and stunning all enemies in the immediate area.
• Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: While the precise nature of her previous relationship with the Doctor is unknown, it appears to have ended on bad terms judging by how she calms herself and takes a deep breath when she first meets the now amnesiac Doctor in the present. Nevertheless, she will work with the Doctor for Amiya's sake. Later story chapters reveal that pre-amnesia Doctor and Kal'tsit were already distrustful of each other. It's also further revealed that the distrust comes from pre-amnesia Doctor's ruthlessness, and killing Theresa.
• The Turret Master: Her main gimmick is deploying Mon3tr as a static pseudo-Operator on the field. It's a very powerful turret that's capable of holding a line solo, and can even deal massive amounts of True Damage to cut down bosses.
• Too Much Alike: Revealed details of her past in Episode 11 give the heavy implication that her and the pre-amnesia Doctor's mutual dislike of each other, which she told the current Doctor in Episode 7, stem from both having committed ruthless actions for greater goals.
• True Companions: With Mon3tr. The prophet Old Isin notes the two have been together for a long time and trust each other implicitly. Mon3tr might express disappointment whenever Kal'tsit orders him to stop killing things, but he still follows her commands without hesitation and Kal'tsit never threatens or chastises him.
• Undying Loyalty: "Lonetrail" reveals that Kal'tsit is the Doctor's personal adjutant for the last ten thousand years and that they've always worked close together ever since her creation and thus has always been trusted by the Doctor to do the right thing for their collective goal of protecting the planet; however, just because she's firmly loyal to the Doctor to never betray that trust in her, Kal'tsit has not and continues to personally not like the Doctor due to their differences in personality and how they express themselves in that common objective of protecting Terra, in the end, Kal'tsit doesn't at any point try to personally bridge that gap between them because it wouldn't serve to benefit either of them. "Babel" would reveal this was more genuine in the past, up until she learned the Awful Truth about the Doctor and their race's goals after they had killed Theresa, which firmly broke any affection she had for the Doctor prior, but she can't swear off her attachment at the hip to the Doctor due to their nature in creating her in the first place due to her programming.
• Unreliable Narrator:
  • She pretty much admits she is one when it comes to talking about Theresa's death. Her extremely negative emotional reaction to the event causes her to realize that she'll never be able to provide an accurate, objective description of what happened, so she decides it'd be better to just keep quiet about it until the Doctor recovers their own memories.
  • She claims her place of birth as Rhodes Island, and her combat experience as only three years—which, as of the start of the story is the Kazdel Civil War and the existence of Babel. These are obviously lies, as she is much older than Rhodes Island as an organization, and Rhodes Island the landship, which may not even have been named as such, was only found at the inception of Babel. The combat experience is also clearly a lie, since she was already a fighter when she picked up the thirteen-year old Elliot Glover twenty-two years ago, now a full-fledged adult and Rhodes Island Operator, Passenger during the events of "A Walk in the Dust". Though, the revelation in "Lonetrail" that presumably the landship that Rhodes Island is based around technology made by the Precursors, and that Kal'tsit herself is a Precursor machine made to serve alongside the Doctor who is one of the last of their kind... it's not quite a brazen lie that she list herself as "born" on Rhodes Island.
• Wandering the Earth: Passenger says that she seemed to have spent most of her life wandering from place to place, doing various inscrutable things for her own reasons that anyone else would have to guess at. Her purpose at Rhodes Island has kept her tied down there for longer than anywhere else.
• Woman Behind the Woman: Is the benefactor of Alive Until Sunset as revealed in "Stultifera Navis", and has been handling their group for a very long time.

Rarity: ★

ID: No. 285

Height: 149cm

"Hello, Doctor. You want me to say something more interesting to you? I'm afraid I have nothing interesting to say. I'm just a medical robot..."

A medical robot created by Closure.

---

• Boring, but Practical: She's a 1 star unit with very low level cap, pathetic heal, and very high redeployment time. But her talent which let her heal everyone for up to 500 HP at max potential when deployed can save you in a pinch.
• Insistent Terminology: She always refers to her creator as "Lovely Ms. Closure".
• Robosexual: Inverted because Lancet-2 was modified to praise Closure, and also a meta example. For whatever reason, a sizable portion of the fanbase unironically adores Lancet-2 in... less than pure ways. Saucy fanarts abound.
  • In "Gavial: The Great Chief Returns", she mentions to a Rhodes Island pilot, Dylan, that she's programmed with a female personality and thus would get embarrassed if a male sees her circuitry. She also misunderstands Dylan's request to see a swimsuit and asks if he'd like to see her wearing one. Dylan quickly rejects the offer. Later on when Dylan hides a rocket launcher in her, she says she doesn't usually let people "put things in her". Furthermore, if the Doctor chooses to say "Hands off my Lancet-2!" when Zumama is being too intrusive, Lancet will comment that 'her heart isn't ready for this'.
  • Played straight when she comments that the Big Ugly Thing (a giant mecha) is "real marriage material".
• Robot Buddy: She's one of the very few robotic characters in the game.
• Self-Deprecation: Lancet-2 is noted to have a tendency to self-deprecate. Closure for the most part thinks she's cuter that way.
• Significant Birth Date: The day of her creation was International Nurses Day, and also the birthday of Florence Nightingale.
• They Call Him "Sword": Lancet-2 is named after the alternate name of scalpel ("lancet"), both of which refer to the surgical knife. There is also a renowned medical megazine called 'the Lancet'.
• What Is This Feeling?: A trope that is Played for Laughs. She likes "Lovely Ms. Closure", but doesn't understand why. In reality, it's all just because of Closure tinkering Lancet-2's settings.

Skills: "In Drizzle, Privation", "In Downpour, Grace", This Lantern Undying

Talents: An Everyman's Wish, Quick Fix

Affiliation: Iberia

Race: Aegir

Birthday: June 12

Height: 177cm

"So you're... the Doctor? Pleased to meet you. My codename is 'Lumen,' and I will now be serving as a Rhodes Island Operator. Even if I can only bring you a thin filament of light, I will give all my strength."

An Aegirian church nurse hailing from the Iberian town of Gran Faro, joined Rhodes Island to provide humanitarian aid to Iberia and render cooperation between RI, Aegir and the Iberian Inquisition.

---

• Action Initiative: His second talent allows him to instantly give a slightly weakened heal to a target in range that has been hit by a debuff, irrespective of his current target or attack cooldown. This has a cooldown.
• Animal Motifs: The blue guppy (Poecilia reticulata). Guppies are docile, communal and one of the most common fish species both in the wild and in aquariums, reflecting Lumen as a kind-hearted man with a strong bond to his family and his insistence on being a common man.
• Anti-Debuff: Most Therapist Medics have some way to grant status resistance, and Lumen is no different with his basic attacks providing resistance that increases if his target is at high HP. However, Lumen takes this a step further beyond his cohorts by being able to instantly remove debuffs on his targets with his charged second skill and third skill.
• Breaking Old Trends: In-Universe, he's the first ever Aegirian that ever joined Iberia's Inquisition, which does bring up some uproar when Iberians, especially those who are part of the Inquisition, learned about it.
• Deadly Distant Finale: The third part of his Memory Mapping in "Mizuki & Caerula Arbor" is Lumen bidding Kal'tsit goodbye and headed to the sea, where he died from old age after speaking about his memories to the sea one last time.
• Gadgeteer Genius: His potential token is a lamp made from Aegirian and Originium technology, implied to be made from his parents' designs.
• Happily Adopted: He is taken in by Thiago, the mayor of Gran Faro and regarded the man as his Parental Substitute.
• Image Song: "Bluish Light".
• Loophole Abuse:
  • His third skill This Lantern Undying increases his ATK and ASPD while granting a number of charges that get consumed when Lumen heals an ally afflicted with negative status effects. If used in an operation without any enemy that inflicts negative status effects for Lumen to remove, the skill functions as an infinite buff to his healing.
  • He can remove skill-inflicted stuns (seen on Amiya, Liskarm, Specter etc.), allowing players to circumvent the downside of their skills.
• Manly Tears: In the third "Mizuki & Caerula Arbor" Memory Mapping, Lumen is shown shedding tears as he wrote down Carmen's death report.
• Meaningful Name: Lumen is a real-world science unit used in measuring the total quantity of visible light. Fitting for a character whose main achievement in his debut event was reactivating a lighthouse.
• Nice Guy: Is a kind and compassionate church nurse, and his profile outright calls him such.
• The One Guy: Lumen is the very first male 6-star who is a Medic. He is also the first 6-star Medic introduced into the game who was not conceived from the very start of Arknights.^note Kal'tsit was properly made playable starting from Under Tides, but her concept as a playable character was conceived as early as the beta of Arknights
• Perpetual Frowner: The guy is always seen with the same sad and wistful frown on his face. Kal'tsit even lampshades it by calling him a "despondent-seeming Aegir".
• Reduce Aggro: His WAH-X module lowers his aggro level, meaning that his allies will be prioritized over him regardless of deployment order and allowing more flexibility in when to deploy him. He will still get attacked if he is the only one in range, however.
• Temporary Online Content: He's the welfare operator of "Stultifera Navis" and is unobtainable outside of the event until its future Record Restoration.
• The Team Normal: Out of the expedition force sent to reclaim the Eye of Iberia hastily assembled by Kal'tsit and Lord Carmen, Lumen is the only civilian with no combat experience. He was only recruited on the spot by Kal'tsit to avoid capture by the Inquisition since his technician credentials made him qualified to work on the lighthouse.
• You Are a Credit to Your Race: Both the Abyssal Hunters and Carmen have to acknowledge Lumen went above and beyond their expectations for an Islander Aegirian, which is why Carmen decides to recruit him into the Inquisition as part of building up Gran Faro as another base in the war against the Seaborn.

"Hello, I'm a member of the Yan disaster relief organization 'Chun-qian,' dispatched here as an intern. My name is... Oh, I-I'm sorry. We need to use our codenames here, right? I'm terribly, terribly sorry. Please call me Mulberry."

A member of "Chun-qian", a disaster relief organization from Yan, who was accepted to Rhodes Island as part of an exchange program.

---

• Animal Motifs: Birds, as per being a Liberi, specifically the Elliot's pheasant.
• Goggles Do Nothing: In-game for some reason, she puts her goggles on whenever she's stunned. They still do nothing.
• Language Barrier: One of Mulberry's voice line reveals that one of her reasons for being quiet is that she doesn't know any other languages but Yanese (Arknights' version of the Chinese language) when she first arrived at Rhodes Island. She was very happy when she learned that there are people from Yan in the organization. Funnily enough, with the release of her Chinese voicelines, you can actually make it so that she speaks 'Yanese'.
  Mulberry: I'm not very good at speaking any languages other than Yanese. That's why I was a little scared at first and didn't talk much. But everyone's very friendly, and there are a lot of people from Yan here. Phew... it really puts my mind at ease.
• Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: For most of her life, Mulberry was completely obedient to her parents and never caused any trouble, leading everybody to believe that she would simply take up a normal job when she graduated. However, she instead caught everybody by surprise by joining a disaster relief organization, stating that she had always wanted to help Catastrophe sufferers after having witnessed a Catastrophe in her childhood.
• Shrinking Violet: Mulberry is timid and gets nervous when communicating at times, some of her voice lines has her stutter a little.
• Spanner in the Works: She ends up being one in "A Death in Chunfen" when she arrives at Moushan Village, since the villagers mistake her as the Messenger delivering the insurance payment for Fan Xiaoshi's faked death, when in reality she's there to inspect the state of the nearby road network. The confusion this causes eventually helps her and Saga figure out the entire plot.

Birthday: May 5

Height: 143cm

"Uh, I'm Myrrh, a herbalist. Dr. Kal'tsit gave me this title... she said myrrh symbolizes the ephemerality of life and wanted me to keep this in mind."

A socially awkward apothecary with a mysterious past and a penchant for making effective but foul-tasting remedies.

---

• Animal Motifs: Red fox, as evidenced by the presence of a red fox in the background of Myrrh's skin.
• Badass Adorable: Myrrh seems very delicate and passive, but turns out to have a love of adventure, spelunking, and regularly facing danger to gather ingredients for her alchemy.
• Crazy-Prepared: As evidenced by her First Aid Kit talent, which immediately heals all her allies by at least 110% (150% at Elite 2) of Myrrh's ATK as soon as she's deployed.
• Crippling Overspecialization: Both of Myrrh's Skills give her a small ATK buff and let her target up to two allies at once. This means that when at least two allies are in range, she will out-heal most other 4* or lower single-target Medics by a lot. However, because her Skills' ATK buffs are small, she will lose out to most other 4* or above single-target Medics like Sussurro in single-target healing. Then, whenever there are more than two allies in range, she will lose out to Multi-Target Medics like Perfumer. She is like the Vermeil of Medics.
• Floral Theme Naming: Myrrh is named after the resin that can be used as an anointing oil, a frankincense, or a perfume. It has also been documented as an analgesic or a painkiller.
• The Ghost: Not her, but Harmonia. Just like 12F, she mentions her on several of her voicelines, but, Harmonia herself has yet to appear in person.
• Healing Potion: Unlike most medics at Rhodes Island, Myrrh utilizes a uniquely indigenous method of mixing her medicine, preferring to use herbs and witchcraft over the modern methods. While surprisingly effective, her medicine isn't very popular among other operators.
• Mechanically Unusual Fighter: Myrrh is a single-target Medic... that heals up to two targets per pop when her skills are active.
• Mysterious Past: Due to her amnesia, the details of Myrrh's history are largely unknown. Apart from her mysterious incident with Harmonia, Myrrh is also seemingly unwilling to disclose her birthplace. The only thing Rhodes Island staff can be sure of is that she hails from an uncharted land under no known sovereign nation.
• The Navigator: Her profile says that she managed to grasp the layout of the base extremely quickly, and gave accurate information on resources in remote locations. According to her, this is due to her history of exploring with her friend Harmonia when they were kids.
• Noodle Incident: What happened on her adventures with Harmonia? What was the exact cause of the latter's infection? The only thing that Myrrh recalls is that it was her own mistake that got her friend infected. But during interviews, Myrrh is unable to reconstruct the event, thus the doctors are convinced that her memory loss is caused by trauma.
• Plucky Girl: Brave and curious beneath her shy exterior, the fact that Myrrh must adapt to a new, unfamiliar world and refuses to give up is admirable in itself.
• Workaholic: Myrrh is noted to be a diligent worker who often goes to work early and comes home late every day.
