About
A quiet ghost who randomly appears at the village one day and currently lives alone at the outskirts of the village.
She doesn't talk much, appears serious, and a little cold at times. She is seen in the village from time to time, usually doing grocery runs or just strolling by. She is usually seen with Vanilla, so much so that some confused them for a couple. All argee that she is the polar opposite of Vanilla.
She comes from a well-off background. Due to her upbringing, her speech is somewhat verbose, flowery, not straightforward, and has a tendency use uncommon words. As such, she can be preceived as snobbish, though she doesn't mean it. She is well versed in traditional cultures and collects random trinkets as a hobbies. It is said that she works as a historical artifact conservator, but she is quite secretive about it, so not much is known. That said, Vanilla has revealed that Agnes did work as a shrine maiden at a tourist spot.
Relationship
-
"Although we aren't blood-related, she is the sister I never had. In her eccentricity, she reminded me what it means to live. For that, I'm eternally grateful."
Moveset and Abilities
She perfers to avoid direct confrontation if possible, i.e. taking her opponents out before an actual fight ensues. In the event of a head-on fight, she relies on evasion, feints, and speed to slip by her opponents, generally adpoting hit-and-run tactics. Her nimbleness is mostly thanks to her ghostly nature and lean stature.
She prefers simple and quick attacks. Generally, Her goal is to wear her opponents down with ice attacks, slowing them down with each succesive attacks. Those unprepared will quickly succumb to her tactics. She is fond of icicle as they are easy to conjure and thus can be fire off quickly. She also can be seen wielding icicles like daggers.
Her main weaknesses are her over-specialisation in ice and her frail nature. A good solid hit is likely to take her out, if it hits. Going up against her will requires the utmost concentration and outwitting her in a deadly game of tag.
Ability: Snow Cloak
This ability reduces her presence in hail or snowstorms. The more severe the weather is, the better the cloaking. This increases her evasion and stealth capabilities.
The ability also allows her to maintain low temperature around her outside of cold environment more efficiently. This shorten her ice conjuration time, allowing faster casting of ice attacks. This also makes her a nice spot to be at during warmer weather.
Notable moves
- Icicle Spear: She fires off a barrage of icicle at the opponent. The size depends on how long she charges the icicle.
- Ice Beam: She fires off a beam of ice in the direction she points at. It is usually a short burst of beam, but can be continuous if sustained.
Author's Comment
hey, another 'quiet' character, where have we seen this before?
for Agnes, i want to portray her coming from a background of isolation. A mon who had been separated from society and now returning back to it; a mon who have been instilled passiveness in her; a mon that is now learning how to live for herself.
i do not have the neccesary skill and care to write complex and nuanced backstory. So, let's just say she comes from a unpleasant place devoid of love and managed to free herself from it.
outside of that, i'm just a sucker for character in a kimono aesthetic in general. So, froslass is up there in my list of favourite mon. Her behaviour is mostly a play on the stereotypes of ice-types (isolation, cold, etc.), with little influence from froslass's yuki-onna inspiration.
