Platonic

Platonic is a thief from Merigod in the Kingdom of Elphegort. After running away from her home, the young bandit came into the service of AB-CIR to steal a red wine glass from Banica Conchita. Her real name is unknown.

Early Life
Born into the noble family of Merigod under an unknown birth name, she grew up in a rigid and affluent life style but became tired of the restrictions her life gave her. Desiring freedom, she ran away from home to live the life of a thief under a new name, dreaming of buying a house of her own with the money she saved from stealing. Taken under a master thief's tutelage, "Platonic" was trained by her mentor and came in contact with the Association and AB-CIR through him.

Wine Glass Heist
Around EC 325, she was hired by AB-CIR to steal a particular wine glass from Banica Conchita after her master's death. Accepting the job, she had the Association look into the mansion's floor plans and staff for the planned heist. With the necessary information garnered from Bruno, Platonic attempted to steal the wine glass but was thwarted by the interference of undead soldiers and forced to flee. Reporting her failure to the mage, AB-CIR sent the thief to steal the Twin Swords of Levianta from Elluka Clockworker. During her attempt, she was ambushed and captured by the sorceress.

Forcibly hired to assist Elluka, Platonic was repeatedly instructed in casting basic spells but failed each time. While at their current residence, Elluka casted a capture spell on the thief and left her there for some time, though the mage later returned after remembering she left no food for the girl. Claiming to be a maid of the Conchita Family, Platonic was allowed to accompany Elluka in her investigation of rumors surrounding Banica's alleged cannibalism. When they arrived at the Duke's mansion in August of EC 325, the estate was discovered empty and in perfect order. Slipping away from Elluka, Platonic found the wine glass covered in blood with a baby and swiped it before fleeing from the mansion. Completing her assignment, the young thief handed off the red glass to AB-CIR.

Personality and Traits
"You do cruel things..." "There was no helping it, was there? That girl tries to escape as soon as I look away."

- Held and Elluka

Platonic was a free-spirited and energetic person, determined to live a full life as she pleased. Having known only the life of an aristocrat's daughter, the child grew restless with the formal and rigid lifestyle she was born into and eventually grew rebellious. Severing all ties, Platonic fully embraced the way of thieves, living by her own rules and only being responsible for herself. Coinciding with her free lifestyle, the girl dreamed of owning her own house and gladly dedicated her thievery for paying for one. However, although confident in her abilities, she was against killing and refused to murder anyone. She also had a great degree of loyalty to her employers, willing to complete a job long after it was originally assigned. Despite this, she would delay the mission's completion should her life be at risk, unwilling to continue with her attempted heist until the threat of the undead soldiers subsided. Similarly, she was not above deceit to get a job done, tricking Elluka in order to acquire the glass.

Skills and Abilities
"How odd. That you have a stranger as a companion. Does she, perhaps, have some talent for sorcery?" "She's wonderful––so wonderfully talentless."

- Held and Elluka

Despite having come from a rich and cultured background, Platonic was able to have some success as a thief and fit well into the lifestyle and work required. Although working alone, Platonic's connections to the Association allowed her to be well informed on her targets and more easily break into homes and avoid their inhabitants. As a descendant of Mikulia Greeonio, Platonic inherited the residual magic left by the Demon of Sloth and was therefore resistant to other demonic influences, making her ideal for AB-CIR's missions. However, she herself had no magical talent and was unable to perform even simple spells.

Character Connections
AB-CIR: One of Platonic's employers. Keeping a business relationship, Platonic accepted the man's job and stuck with the mission until it was completed.

Elluka Clockworker: A temporary associate and partner of Platonic. Having been bound to her for sometime, Platonic had no issue deceiving the sorceress and felt no loyalty to her, often attempting to escape at any opportunity. In addition to this, she showed signs of being afraid of the sorceress to some degree.

Conceptualization and Origin

 * Her alias as "Platonic" refers to a nonphysical love or relationship and to be friendly; the name is likely a reference to her birthplace at Merigod Plateau.


 * Platonic's name is partially inspired by the name of her representative Vocaloid, Miku, with Platonic's romanization containing " ikku" in it, with the same pronunciation as "iku".

Curiosities

 * It is unknown if the magic left by the Demon of Sloth had any effect on Platonic's personality.
