Solus

Solus is characterized by her role as Lith's conscience, often tempering his cynical and paranoid worldview with empathy and kindness. She struggles with intense feelings of isolation and fear regarding her existence as an artifact, especially the terror of outliving Lith or being powerless to protect him. Despite her wisdom, she is socially awkward, often being overly blunt or tactless due to the direct mental link she shares with Lith. She possesses a deep-seated curiosity about the world, a passion for magical research to reclaim her memories, and a surprisingly relatable love for food, which she often experiences vicariously through Lith.

Solus possesses several forms, most notably her humanoid form which develops from a figure of golden light into a complete human appearance as she regains her core strength. As a human, she is a petite woman of about 1.54 meters (5'1") with long hair featuring six distinct color streaks: silver, orange, black, red, blue, and yellow. Her true form, visible through Soul Vision, shows her in an outdated golden roman toga and sandals, bound by thick chains connecting her to Lith and thin grey fetters representing her past trauma. She has bright eyes and features inherited from her mother, Ripha Menadion.

Born as Elphyn Althena Menadion to Threin and Ripha Menadion, she was an Awakened child prodigy. Her father tragically turned into an Abomination during a breakthrough, causing her to become emotionally reclusive. After her own death at the hands of Bytra, her mother Ripha merged her life force with their magical tower to save her, creating 'Menadion's Desperation.' The tower eventually decayed over centuries until it was forced to shrink into a stone form, leading to a fateful bond with Lith Verhen after his blood touched the artifact. Since then, she has navigated the world through Lith, slowly unlocking her past memories and developing a distinct sense of self.
