Character canon: OC (Argo Navis)
Canon point: Post-Draco, pre-Corvus
Physical Description: Enna is small, standing at about 5’3 with tall heels, or just shy of five feet without them. She has long pink hair to her hips, and wears an outfit that can best be described as ‘trashy anime’. She’s fit, but only enough to help out on a ship, steering or pulling ropes. She’s generally covered by a full cloak, which conceals two daggers and many throwing knives. She also tends to wear some manner of head covering to hide the crown on her head.
About the Character:
- The world of Stella is a flat world, with 85 countries that correspond to (most of) the modern constellations of Earth. (Indus, Piscis Australe, and Triangulum Australe have been removed for streamlining the story.) The world is mostly ocean, and each country is protected by a Guardian Spirit, corresponding to a constellation, and each person born in a country is given a blessing by that guardian spirit, a magic power related in some way to that spirit.
- In recent times, however, the edges of the world have been steadily shrinking, leading to fear of the end of the world. The origin myths of the world indicate a ship called the Argo Navis, born of three guardian spirits, that brought people to this world, and could evacuate everyone to a new world.
- Enna was born as Princess Adib Draconis, princess of the country of Draco. Unfortunately, this didn’t last. Draco was well aware of the impending doom of the world, and as a result, the people began to panic. A revolt seemed inevitable, as the people feared the end of the world and felt the royalty was doing nothing, and the royalty was powerless to do anything.
- As a result, the King and Queen, hoping that at least their daughter might be spared from the fires of revolution, designated two caretakers and had them take the princess and flee the country.
- The two, posing as her parents, took her to Corvus, a far-off country that was well-known for accepting almost any refugees. They landed in the city of Minkar, and… Well, they claimed they were simply Corvus citizens returning home. The princess Adib was given a new name to hide her- Gienah Alchiba. (This is roughly the equivalent of naming a child Newyork Sanfrancisco to insist that they’re from the US.)
- Even so, Corvus didn’t care, and let them in, where they lived happily. Gienah grew up happily, with the love of those she believed to be her parents. She was unaware of her identity, and truly believed the cover was the truth.
- But this couldn’t last. When she was 14, a sickness swept Corvus. She, who had grown up there since her infancy, was fine with antibodies, but her parents had no such immunities. A terrible illness, it closed up their throats, and they passed away, before they could ever tell her the truth of who she was.
- Enna grieved, of course, but she was strong, and able to move on. Money had turned out to be no trouble for her- Her power was to ‘collect treasure’. Anything she considered valuable. She believed it was the power of Corvus, after all, as crows would collect shiny things.
- However, as the world became a bit stranger, even Corvus’ goodwill became more strained. Enna was known to be not one of them… So, at 16, she set off on a journey of her own. She didn’t think much of it- But she wanted to see the world, and she could feel the call of treasure.
-She didn’t think much of packing properly for a journey. She only survived thanks to her magic bringing her treasure that she could sell for food. But it was fine, because she saw so much, and her mind expanded as she saw the world.
Unfortunately, one day, the plot proper started. The slow collapse of the world made the sea become unreliable. And as a result, a whirlpool that shouldn’t have been there wrecked her ship.
- She washed up alone on the shores of Perseus, found by a boy named Virgil, who had been practicing on the beach for the air-walking sport he played. Virgil rescued her and brought her home, where she was nursed back to health, and slowly regained her strength.
- But as she regained her strength, she felt the call of treasure. And following that, alongside Virgil, she found her way down to a hidden shrine below the island. It was there they found something strange, almost absurd- a gem that seemed to be made of white fire, next to a frozen woman wrapped in chains. As Enna tried to approach the gem, and Virgil tried to break the chains, something strange happened- The gem seemed to enter Virgil’s body, and the chains broke.
- The woman there woke up as though from a deep sleep, and from a very confused conversation, Enna and Virgil began to discover the fate of the world, as well as the only way to solve it.
- To collect the pieces of the Argo Navis- Puppis, Vela, and Carina. To collect their Stars, the embodiment of their power, and summon the great Worldship. And with that, to collect the Stars of every country, every guardian spirit, and with it, evacuate each country and its people to find a new world.
- The Stars, that is, the white gem they found, was the embodiment of each Guardian Spirit, and a symbol of their power. But if the Star was not collected and brought aboard the Argo Navis, the Guardian Spirit would not be able to enter it, either. And thus, the people who had received that spirit’s blessing, would also not be able to enter it.
- It was Enna, unexpectedly, who had the power to fix this. It seemed unlikely that anyone could collect all of the Stars and save everyone with the little time remaining to the world, especially as almost no one knew of them. But Enna had the power to collect treasure. Whatever she thought was valuable would surely be hoarded by her like a dragon. So she would set out and collect all of the Stars on a journey, a race against time.
- And so she did, with Virgil at her side. They christened a ship the Argo Minor and set out. They collected many stars, and many crewmates, with some massive misadventures. Horologium in particular was tough, and did a lot to disrupt her own time, to the point where she doesn’t know her own age anymore.
- Her last stop prior to her apping point was Draco, where she spent a long time. Her identity as the princess meant they felt she had an obligation to stay and help calm things, but Enna had to collect the Stars and save the world. She felt no connection towards Draco, either, as she didn’t know her own identity, and felt that the parents she had known were her true parents, and that Corvus was her home. It took over a month for her to get the Star of Draco, by working to calm the people, stop revolutionaries, and so on.
- As a person, Enna is… Well, odd. She’s flighty, goes at her own pace for everything. She marches to the beat of her own drum, and does not care much for the opinions of others. She loves shiny things, and valuable things, and loves nothing more than seeing new beautiful sights. She values her freedom over almost anything else, and does what she wants, when she wants. This has, in the past, caused others to think she’s a pirate, but she refutes that… Even if she does, in fact, occasionally steal from people. If she has to. She doesn’t like to, but if she has to to protect her people, or to take the Stars, she will. She is extremely simple, and tends towards a solution of ‘simple is best’... Which sometimes leads to doing some bad things, but. It’s for a good cause.
- She is not necessarily ‘the ends justify the means’ type, but she is at least willing to say that the ends of saving everyone in the world from a horrible apocalypse does justify the means of piracy, and having to fight people sometimes.
- She’s prone to making cawing noises and flapping her cloak like it’s wings. This is because she feels, as a person from Corvus, it’s natural to act like it. This is something literally no one else on Corvus does, but she likes it, because it makes her feel closer to Corvus’ guardian spirit, which in her eyes helped protect her her whole life.
- Despite how she acts, she isn’t stupid. She’s actually rather clever, in her own ways, able to solve puzzles and think outside the box. That said, she’s almost useless when it comes to flowery prose, and she’s easily deceived as long as she doesn’t have direct evidence to the contrary.
- Her social skills are totally lacking, as she tends to say whatever is on her mind with no thought. This can cause friction with others who mistake her lack of a filter for malice, but it’s rarely meant maliciously. Rather, she simply says what she thinks, for better or for worse. She has no desire to filter herself to spare others’ feelings, and she is fundamentally not someone who will ever deceive others if she can avoid it.
- She doesn’t respect people who aren’t willing to put in hard work for themselves, or expect others to do things for them. But even so, if anyone is in trouble, she will immediately take up arms to fight for them if she has to. She’s idealistic, but not naive.
- Also, you shouldn’t expect her to do the explaining, ever. She’s really bad at it. Her speech patterns are awkward normally and she just, sucks at explaining things.
- She is extremely high key ride or die for her friends. Once someone has been thought of as Hers, as treasure or crew, she will not let anyone hurt them. She will go to absurd lengths for Her People.
