Shattered Dreamer

Shattered Dreamer: Vivian Cruz Seegers

Gender: Female

Age: 14 (2003)

Meister: Misty

Weapon Form:

Strangely, Vivian, or Dreamer's, weapon form looks corrupted. It's actually not at all; the appearance is due to her father being a kishin egg. Dreamer's mother, an unwed 23-year-old devout Catholic, was raped by Dreamer's father, resulting in the girl's conception. The initial form of the weapon would have been a straight white polearm staff with a small spear tip at the end and a beautiful, pure white scythe blade with small, circular cutouts. The glowing blue circles seen in the image are originally dark blue gems. The black spikes typically would serve as a sort of a cap at the top of the blade and staff, anchoring it all together. The wrappings seen in the image have blessings and crosses on them in an attempt to help ward off the kishin blood.

Love Interest: None at present

Orientation: No interest shown

Appearance:
Dreamer's eyes are pantone red, and she keeps the left one covered when and however she can; though the right one is completely normal, the left one looks like that of a kishin. Her hair is long and pure white, and her skin is pale but appears to neither burns nor tan. Vivian is often described as having a "resting bitch face" when she is mentally preoccupied. However, she seems not to mind the term, and will even use it to her advantage if she does not wish to speak, glaring at anyone she is disinterested in. Her outfit changes from day to day, but she almost always wears her rosary and black combat boots. Her headphones are with her the majority of the time, though she isn't always using them for music and sometimes just pulls them on to ignore those around her. Since her and Misty fight alone, no one really knows what she wears on missions, not that it matters overmuch, especially with her being the weapon.

Personality:
Dreamer likes to see the best in people and is typically a warm and kind-hearted young teen. She will do what she can to help others, being able to instinctively sense how those around her are feeling. On the other hand, as willing as she is to help others with their life and emotional problems, she does not like to express her own; any frustrations she has are worked out through learning and experimenting. Anything she learns, she must do so hands-on and has tinkered with more than her fair share of electronics: toys, remotes, and otherwise. When directly beside her partner, Dreamer largely prefers to allow the elder of the two to do the majority of the interacting, even going so far as to allow Misty to dictate their decisions without consulting her.

History:
As mentioned above, Dreamer is the child of a kishin egg and a devout Catholic. Due to her eyes, her mother has tried to have her exorcised a number of times, but as she is not possessed by anything, this has had no effect on her. Aside from her mother's almost paranoia about her, Dreamer grew up almost as normally as any asocial child would, keeping to herself and just generally staying out of anyone's way. Of course, she was considered the weird person in class, and though she had a few friends, no one truly made it far past the level of an acquaintance, and bullying soon became an everyday occurrence when middle school approached.

Her weapon discovery seems almost typical, in truth; she was being mocked, shoved around, and cornered. In an attempt to block a hand going for her face, aiming to strike at her always-hidden right eye, her arm shifted to her polearm. Pushing the assailant back, she stood slowly, the handle shifting slowly into the blade. At the spark of soul energy, her right eye began to glow, and as she moved to dodge a fool-hardy attacker, the kishin eye was revealed. Her mother took the opportunity, upon the reports that she'd transformed and several assailants tried to frame her for injuries that in no way matched the shapes of her weapon, to ship her off. Vivian has not heard from her since.

Discovered soon after her enrollment by a witch living at the sister school beneath the Academy, Dreamer was approached by Phoebe. Within the week, the two were partnered and Vivian moved before anyone really noticed that she'd even been there to begin with. Ever since, they've stayed together, forming a formidable pair. In recent months, Misty has given her more freedom, though Dreamer still remains at the Institute the majority of the time. She knows nothing of her meister's exploits, monster-related and otherwise, that Dreamer is not involved in herself.

Soul Count: 5

Mutations	Description	# of souls
Dragonscale	(Dragon) Dreamer is capable of sprouting scales on her body or her partner's, protecting her from significant levels of damage and making her completely immune to fire. In weapon form, the scales cover the weapon and physical attacks are even harder. The scales can fall off and be collected, fetching a high price.	1
Handicap	(Unknown Monster) Dreamer is capable of canceling out magic in the area, approximately 9 feet around, both in and out of weapon form. Since this is untrained (and besides which, the ability is currently locked), she cannot limit or expand the perimeters, meaning that it works against Phoebe, as well.	9

Mutation	Gained from ninetieth soul, activated at ninety-ninth	99

Miscellaneous:
It is unlikely that anyone particularly knows Vivian, Institute student or otherwise, as she does her best to not stand out much (though Misty stands out a good deal). Outside of her hometown, some family members, and Misty, no one really even knows her name.
