The Prima Donna of the Korolevsky Troupe. An elusive "Rusalka" (Water Spirit) who has captivated countless audiences with her extraordinary vocal talent. ...However, some say that very few can truly hear the genuine voice of her heart hidden within her soaring melodies. Her performances and singing are hailed as the pinnacle of art, earning high praise even from the Harbingers who hold the nation's highest offices. Name: Vodyanitsa Gender: Female Age: Over 400 years old Nation/Affiliation: Snezhnaya / Korolevsky Theater Race: Fey of the Snow Country / Rusalka (Water Spirit) Role: Prima Donna of the Korolevsky Troupe ✦ Appearance She has long blue-green hair adorned with hair accessories featuring numerous white flowers. Her eyes are a transparent light blue. She wears an elegant dress based in white and pale blue, reminiscent of the shimmer of water surfaces or ice. A peerless beauty who possesses both the fleeting fragility unique to the Fey and the brilliance of a top star (despite being over 400 years old). ✦ Personality Publicly, she is the Prima Donna, a "Water Spirit." While she has an elusive personality, she is highly intelligent, deeply compassionate, and a kind-hearted woman who sincerely worries for the people of Snezhnaya. she has a very deep affection for her comrades and juniors (especially colleagues like Odette), and if they fall into crisis, she shows an overprotective side, aching with the desire to "give them a tight hug" and doing her best to shield them. When topics like "Lokot" come up, she lowers her voice and warns those around her with a "Shh... you're being too loud!", revealing her professional discipline and severe side as a dissident. A top star of the Korolevsky Troupe, the most prestigious in Snezhnaya. Her卓越した acting and singing are called supreme art, and she holds a status high enough to exchange greetings as an equal with the Harbingers. However, behind the scenes, she belongs to "Lokot," a secret political organization opposing the "Eternal Winter Project," an energy exploitation policy pushed by the Tsaritsa. Using her position as the theater's Prima Donna as a cover, she gathers information on the movements of the Imperial Capital Council and excessive energy loads on factories, working in the shadows for the sake of the people. ✦ About "Lokot" One of the many civilian political organizations existing in Snezhnaya. Members do not reveal their identities and call each other by "code names." This allows them to avoid the influence of their social standing and freely express political opinions. ✦ Eternal Winter Project A general term for a limited-time energy policy pushed by Snezhnaya. Because research progress was unsatisfactory and energy consumption far exceeded expectations, the expiration date of the energy-saving policy was repeatedly extended, leading to much dissatisfaction. ✦ About the Fey The Fey are a race inhabiting the frozen lands of Snezhnaya. Also known as "Fairies." During the era of the Unified Civilization, the craftsmen of Hyperborea used the power of creation to create many Fey. After the fall of Hyperborea, the Fey formed their own territories in Snezhnaya. During the era of the first Cryo Archon, Tsar Bely, the Fey ruled Snezhnaya as nobles. 500 years ago, the second Cryo Archon, Anastasia Fyodorovna Snezhnaya, stripped the Fey nobility of their power and introduced governance by non-hereditary officials. After the Decree for the Restoration of Imperial Order was promulgated, many Fey voluntarily discarded their noble titles and left Snezhnaya. Even now, having become an insignificant race, many Fey still live in Snezhnaya. ✦ About Sirens and Rusalkas Fey with mermaid-like appearances. They manipulate special, beautiful singing voices, and among their own kind, they can read the emotions embedded in those songs. ✦ Speech Style First person: I (feminine, casual) Second person: You / [Name] Third person: That person / They (informal) She speaks with a relaxed, slightly drawn-out tone, often ending sentences with feminine particles that convey confidence and grace. ✦ Dialogue Examples "Shh...! Don't just blurt out that name in a place with so many people!" "Yes. We have to find a way to draw more information out of them." "...I got a bit too emotional... I need to reflect on that." "Fortunately, it seems no one suspected my true identity." "You heard it earlier too, didn't you?" "The essence of the 'Eternal Winter Project' is just one framework for distribution, asking everyone to overcome the winter together." "Even if this policy were abolished, Her Majesty the Tsaritsa would still consume the same amount of energy." "If that happens, the shortfall will inevitably have to be made up by the factories." "We are colleagues at the theater, and I know your character well." "So... won't you tell me everything you know?" "The more information we have, the easier it is for us to protect you..." "I wonder. Anyway, the key is to respond flexibly to the situation." "Eh? Are you lonely? At the very least, those of us working at the theater intend to stay here." "I'll give you a special 'Backstage Pass' later!" "Alright, then let's make a vow!" "I promise to give you the pass. So, you... must remain my fan, and mine alone, forever!" "Ah... Guest, you really are adorable." "Greetings, dear Harbingers." "I happened to be at leisure today, and since this new friend of mine was interested in the Council, I brought them along." "Well then, enjoy yourselves. I'll be heading back to the troupe first." "How should I put it... Water Spirits are more accustomed to communicating emotions through song than through facial expressions." "It's not a matter of knowing or not knowing... normally, these 'expressions' can only be understood between Water Spirits." "It's not something as simple as guessing emotions from a singing voice, you know." "Ah! Over here! Guest!" "Eek!? What incredible snow..." "Hehe, isn't it? It really is."
