Bio

Character: Mystearica "Tear" Grants
Series/Fandom: Tales of the Abyss
Original or Alternate: Alternate

Age: 19

Appearance: Tear is a rather short girl with somewhat pale skin, which brings out her blue eyes. Tear's right eye is covered by the bangs of her light brown hair which falls just past her shoulders. She wears a black dress that reaches just past her ankles, the dress has several golden stripes that run down the middle, as well as a gold trimming. Tear has this over a scarlet turtle neck which is seen due to the wide collar the dress has. Tear also has gloves that nearly reach to her shoulders, they have are white on the hands, and from there on up they are black with a gold trimming, matching her dress. She also sports scarlet skin-tight stockings from her thighs down, which are worn in her ankle high boots, which are completely black except for some white outlining the toe.

Personality: Tear is essentially your no-nonsense soldier. She takes her job very seriously and has a very logical way of thinking. Having being raised a soldier, she is extremely disciplined and in control of herself at all times, always thinking rationally. Some might choose to call her a tomboy due to her lifestyle, which would not be a terrible adjective to describe her at all. The soldier lifestyle does of course, take a toll on her estrogen, causing her to repress her feminine side in favor of a much stronger persona, however, there are times when it cannot be stored any more, as seen whenever she spots something cute. She also has very strong beliefs and will stand up for them regardless of the cost. Having spent the three years that she did at the orphanage, Tear also has an almost maternal side to her, and is always concerned for those closest to her.

Abilities/Strengths: Tear is a user of the Seventh Fonon, a very rare style of magic activated through the power of song. She uses the Seventh Fonon to cast magical spells that are used to heal, attack and increase the strength and abilities of her allies. Strengths in terms of personality could be her logical way of thinking as her as her inner strength, the drive that she has to fight for what she believes in. Tear is also known for having an exceptional singing voice.
Weapons: In battle, Tear wields a light weight cane that she uses to cast spells as well and fight, should she ever need to engage in close quarters with an enemy. She also has grey triangular throwing knives which she has an exceptional aim with.
Weaknesses: Tear has an extreme weakness for all things cute, such things distract Tear, sometimes to the point of not being able to even stay focused on the task at hand. Having spent her life training her magic, she is quite frail as a result and probably couldn't take much of a beating, meaning she always has to distance herself from her foes. Tear would also have a hard time being comfortable in an easy-going or fun situation, being as serious as she is.

History: Tear's ancestor is none other than Yulia Jue, founder of the religion known as "The Order of Lorelei". Yulia created a prophecy known to all as "The Score", which has never been incorrect about the future once and following it is the way of life for all on her planet. Tear's mother died giving birth to her, and she and her elder brother Van were sent to live in Yulia City with their Grandfather, who was mayor there.

When Tear was old enough, she joined the Oracle Knights, the military division of the Order of Lorelei. Van was already a high ranking officer by then and because of this he assigned Legretta the Quick, one of the prestigious 6 God Generals to train Tear. However as time passed, Tear noticed suspicious behavior coming from her brother, and eventually heard of a plan to create a new world by destroying all living things. Tear decided that she would have to track down her elder brother and kill him before he had a chance to carry out his plans.

Tear eventually tracked Van down to the Duke of Baticul's mansion and infiltrated the house by using the Seventh Fonon to put nearly all in the manor in a deep sleep. After a quick and ultimately failed attempt on Van's life, Tear was transported along with the Duke's son Luke Fon Fabre by means of a phenomenon called hyperresonace to a completely different country.

Feeling that it is her responsibility to return Luke home, Tear makes a vow to return the immature Luke home to his mansion. The two of them have quite a few misadventures on their journey home and eventually make allies with Fon Master Ion, a boy from the order of Lorelei who is a symbol of the peace between Kimlasca and Malkuth, Mieu, a Cheagle who thanks to a ring given to his people by Yulia has the ability to speak, Jade Curtiss, a infamous lieutenant from Malkuth, Anise Tatlin, a young girl of 13 years who is a bodyguard to Ion and Guy Cecil, a friend of Luke's and an expert swordsman. The group eventually survives several attacks from the Oracle Knights and the God Generals to return Luke back to his manor in Baticul only to be assigned a new mission by the king, to travel to the mine town of Akzeriuth to destroy the poisonous miasma, as told in the Score.

The group leaves by an abandoned factory in Baticul and are eventually joined by Natalia, Luke's fiance and princess of Baticul, who is maybe even as head strong as Luke himself. They exit the factory only to find the 6 God Generals and an army of Oracle Knights waiting for them. With no option but to give in, Tear and company and held as prisonners of the Order of Lorelei and the Oracle Knights.

About a week following these events, Tear is visited by her mentor Legretta in her cell and told of the events that have happened over the last seven days. All of Tears comrades were executed, and Tear was the only one left. Legretta, possibly in an act of almost maternal love, helps Tear escape.

Tear became a drifter for quite some time until she settled down in the town of Engeve, helping an elderly couple with their orphanage, which Tear helped at, even long after the passing of the couple. Tear had finally had a life set in front of her, but however she could not out grow her soldier instinct and she certainly could never forgive Van, who ordered the execution of her allies, or the Oracle Knights for that matter. So Tear started to plan.

Over the next three years, Tear started an anti-Oracle Knights faction that came to be known as Crescens. Eventually, Tear finally had the power to satisfy her vendetta and launched an attack on Van and the Oracle Knights. Among all the fighting and blood-spilling, Tear found her way to her elder brother and engaged him in a duel, however, the fight had not worked quite as Tear had hoped. Van was far too powerful for Tear, and made this evident in only a matter of minutes. Sprawled across the floor, bloody and beaten, almost as if to ask for her coup de grace, it was at this moment that Tear was transported to Econtra.
