Welcome to Gaia! ::

Virtues:
Diplomatic Being one for balance and wanting to know the whole truth even if details vary, Fiona makes it a point to listen to both sides of a story before acting or making an opinion (though this really depends on whether all parties are willing to talk). She is a patient individual and thinks before she asks and evaluates a situation, setting her emotions aide, and focusing on the facts. Self conscious set aside momentarily, if a fight breaks out she's normally the one to step in and say take a deep breath and tell me what's going on, after which she will worry about how she may have been perceived.

Observant Chalk it up to having, what friends tease her as having, a bit of a sixth sense. Fiona is not only observant of her surroundings but she is also observant of others. When it comes to people it's normally seen by her ability to pick up on tonal influxes in a persons voice or how they speak with their body movements. As for being observant of her surroundings, it's hard to explain, she's pretty quick to notice if something has been moved or is missing.

Truthful/ Honest If someone asks Fiona a question she'll answer it as truthful as possible to the best of her knowledge. She does not like to lie as it leaves a bitter taste in her mouth and makes her feel guilty afterwards. Concerned with how people perceive her, she does not like the negative connotations with being called a liar and will do her up most best to make sure that she is seen in a positive light.

Flaws:
Detached Fiona has a tendency to detach herself from a situation whether she is directly involved or not in an attempt to not elevate the situation. Her desire to be non confrontational or to escalate the situation that she has a tendency to take a step so far back that she comes off as being cold or calloused when all she's really doing is getting the facts and doing her best to not allow her emotions to interfere.

Indecisive She hates choosing... period. You can try asking her to pick something (to do, to eat, to watch...) and if you push hard enough she will. However, more often than not she will keep sliding the decision making off to someone else. This isn't to be mistaken as being anti social, she is quite social however she does not like to make decisions on what to do, where to go, what to eat etc. She will go along with whatever the other person chooses or the group consensus is, but when asked this or this she chooses or.

Self conscious Fiona lacks confidence in herself and frequently worries about others opinions of her. Where her sister is very much of someone that doesn't give 2 cents what people think, Fiona on the other hand cant help but worry. If she feels that someone may have an ill opinion of her she will more than likely wait for the other person to approach her if they wish to pursue a friendship. However when it comes to established friendships she is just more vocal about her concerns, she has probably said to them flat out 'I can't help but worry about what people think of me'.

Alcor is a binary star-system that when coupled with Mizar they create what is known as a quadruple system. Together they are also called the Horse and Rider and can be seen in the night sky in the 2nd star from the end of the big dipper handle (Ursa Major).



World - Above the Surface:
When viewing images of Alcor one would assume that given that the Alpha star gives off a blue color and Beta (Alcorb/Elenora) gives off a redish hue that the Alpha is hotter. Unfortunately you couldn't be any more wrong. It is from an internal glow that resonates under the surface of Alcor (Alpha) and penetrates through layers upon layers of ice and snow. Additional light resonates from the reflective properties of the outer crust as Alpha and Beta are locked in an eternal waltz in the evening sky.

The surface is a barren tundra, large bodies of frozen water encircled by mountains of ice. Stalagmites and columns jut out at varying crude angles like lances beckoning intruders near.

Where there is danger if one is not prepared for the frigged temperatures or lacking proper foot-ware to keep from falling, there is also beauty. Peaceful silence as snow falls all around like a snow-globe as a light breeze dances with stray strands of hair that have fallen free of a headscarf or hood. It is here clarity can be found among these foothills and cliff edges where citizens and guests alike may find freedom from chaos and distractions and just simply be.

As wanderers continue to follow what seem to be frozen trails, scars in the ice that had over time been filled mending the fractured ground, it soon becomes apparent that no matter how far they go or high they climb there are no cities to be seen. Carefully hidden in a place not seen by the light of day for many centuries it is in the least likely of places the door will be opened.

World - Below the Surface:
Where some caves lead to dead ends, others continue on into elaborate tunnel systems till they open up into large dome shape air pockets big enough to house a city of anywhere between 20,000 to 50,000 people.

As it is very hard to grow anything on ice as such there are very few herbivores; to be frank there are none. Animals and creatures on the alpha star, aside from some fish found in melted pools as you get closer to the actual surface of Alcor are predators and live by the eat or be eaten mentality; all but two tunnel systems have been destroyed and it will take 3 weeks to make it down that far and back which is why nobody goes down that far anymore.
Homes: xx // xx // xx

People:
Citizens: Often referred to as Alcorian's, the people of the Alpha star are generally quite humble and enjoy partaking in cold-weather activities such as ice skating up on the surface or tunnel/ cave sledding. However there are those among the youth who can be quite the terrors and enjoy egging visitors on in an attempt to get them to shed their outer ware and see who has the higher stamina when left to the frigid chill.

Physically wise, Alcorian's tend to have darker skin as well as be more well built as most are either hunters or carpenters. However, don't let the fact that they seem to live as recluses under the surface of their home-world fool you. They have just as much pride and spirit as those who reside on their sister star.
Senshi: The senshi of Alcor are twins born through the union of both stars. One is to remain on their birth star while the other goes to the sister star to be raised by grandparents upon awakening. They are considered guardians and advisers of their respective home-worlds and ambassadors when sent to visit allied stars and asteroids.
Government: Split into three parts when voting or decisions must be made; two of the three parties must agree for anything to be passed. The hier; who generally has the whole of Alcor to think about while their husband/wife, born citizen of Alcor, speaks for the individual and voiceless; then the council.
King/ Queen - There is a ruling family that resides in the primary structure located in the center of the capital in the northern most dome. The first born, no matter the gender, is always the successor and their chosen is picked among the citizens.
Council - On the Alpha star each dome has what would be considered a clan leader or lord of the city. Their position is succeeded by their children unless their line ends before a child is born; then and only then is a new leader elected. These lords in turn create an overarching council that convene once every six months at the capital; the only structure that protrudes past the upper surface and can be seen if you know what's you're looking for.
Citizens - If citizens do not agree with their lord they are welcome to travel to the capital to voice concerns with proposed laws or events to take place in an attempt to sway a decision.

Trading:
Most trading goes through their sister star who in turn supplies them with necessities and luxuries.
Export: Pure ice free of any minerals, pelts, meat
Import: Seasoning and spices, metals and tools,
Economy: Silver is the metal of choice and what coins are fashioned out of; however, if you have the ability to help someone you do it; not out of obligation but out of necessity to survive. Trading happens between individuals; skills for food. Family above all else then community.

Up till now...

Since becoming a senshi, Fiona has gone through a bit of an emotional roller-coaster ride. This is a war she didn't sign up for but rather had been conscripted into joining and was left with no more than a good luck have fun and by the way don't tell anyone who or what you are.

With no guidance and no way to contact the guardian cat she was left blindly wandering her way through the different facets of being a senshi. However, this duel life conflicted with her other obligations such as school, work, family and her relationship with her boyfriend Fionan. Her mood gradually began to change as the months passed, especially after the 2015 masquerade and battle with a Corrupt (Valeria). Unable to cope and unwilling to keep secrets from him, Fiona broke it off with her long time boyfriend; convincing herself that he would be far better off if he was with someone more 'normal' and could open up to him freely.

Late 2015 is when things took an abrupt turn though she still not entirely convinced that it was for the best. A fateful encounter with a little grey bob-tailed tabby revealed that her sister, Briana, was a senshi as well. Incidentally, as it were to be revealed later, their spheres were about as close as they were. Functionally they worked the same but the effects pulled at opposite ends of the temperature spectrum. Kind of cool (no pun intended) but also oddly coincidental. This encounter brought with it two new allies; Athene, a veteran senshi who was able to fill in a lot of gaps the guardian cat who awoke her left behind, and Liryn an adorable Mauvian who her sister took a pretty quick liking to.

Things began to fall into a more normal pase especially now that she could talk with her sister about things she couldn't before. That was until Caedus arrived and with the help of the White Moon Senshi and Knights, they infiltrated the Negaverse. For the first time since awakening, the war was brought to Chaos' doorstep. Lives were lost but several were then saved with the retrieval of starseeds one of the groups obtained.

The next year and a half saw little activity as she focused on school and just getting her life back under control. Her sister, however, managed to find time to power up and get into fights that could have otherwise avoided which is why they made an agreement to go out together or not at all. How often Breana actually follows that pact they made is a complete mystery but Fiona has come to terms with the fact it is better to live in ignorance to keep the peace.

2017 saw the rise of the Dark Mirror Senshi, a faction Alcor had otherwise been pretty oblivious to. Aside from knowing their existence and seeing maybe two since awakening there really wasn't much information to go off of. The ordeal with Mirrorspace was short-lived unlike the altercation with the Negaverse the year prior, and left the rest of the year remaining pretty uneventful. That is, until she got a call from someone Fiona never thought she'd hear from again; Fionan.
