Shari Loom is one of the Whispered, an engineering genius who creates technology that should be decades away from fruition. Once, she worked for two of the Earth Sphere's most notorious reality criminals, her 'Aunts' Elisa and Yuliana Kafim. Now a free agent, she's between jobs, between schools, and between conflicting forces that will inevitably force a choice. Her punchy personality is a good cover for her conflicted feelings about quite a lot of things from her past actions to her future prospects, but for now it serves her fine bouncing around countries and ships while looking for a new home. She hasn't decided what she wants to fight for or if she wants to fight at all anymore, but she wants to do right by the people who have helped her. What that means, though, is something she has yet to decide.

Background

Shari Loom is the daughter of Britannian nobility, though of a not particularly loving marriage. Her father married her mother mostly for advantage, and her mother went along with it for her family's sake. Shari herself was regarded as a necessity, and so she's been cared for but not with a lot of warmth.

She moved around a lot as a child, never staying at one school very long, and thus didn't make a lot of friends. This was exacerbated by her strange manner and distance from others, given the 'voices' that she's known since she was young.

Her academic brilliance was enough to satisfy her parents, and eventually her father made a breakthrough in his political career: a government minister for Area 11, he took the family there, where Shari would enroll in Ashford Academy. Around this time a particular Voice began to whisper insistently with increasing demands, and this culminated in meeting Dr. Elisa Kafim--who was able to pacify the Voice even as Shari gave her more strange technology.

Ever since, Shari has been working with Celestial Being, plagued by not only the voices that threaten to overwhelm her, but that particular Voice that seems so angry until she does as it demands.

But that changed, eventually. See the further entries!

Phase 1, Turn 1

Meets Yuliana, does not end up eaten. Starts to make friends at Ashford. Does her first terrorisms.

Phase 1, Turn 2

Nothing of note.

Phase 1, Turn 3

Shari's Aunts escalate, and at the same time, she starts to form deeper bonds with her friends, and some of them--especially Leina Ashta--start to move towards getting her out of her situation. She learns a bit about what the Whispered are. Leina sets her up with someone! She develops a rivalry that turns into a friendship with Naoko Suzuki. And she learns more from Parminder.

In the wake of Second Gate Open and the change of the North Pole, Shari Loom finally fled the Kafims' sphere of influence. Learning that Elisa and the Empress are the same entity was too much, and she ran away to Stockholm, where she took trains and buses until reaching France--and through meeting Prima Virtue, was put back in touch with Leina Ashta. A stop in Barcelona saw her to the Ra Mari II, where Naoko Suzuki would help her help herself--and where she would step towards freedom from the one Voice that is so unlike the others.

Phase 1 Special Disc

With Naoko Suzuki, Shari develops her defense against the Empress's call. It is brought to the test at a chance encounter at the Photon Power League. Having been called in to consult on Green Fold Quartz, she runs into Yuliana... and tests her method for her, too. The Empress retaliates, but Shari, after a moment of terror, shouts defiance and commits herself to ensure she will never be under Her thumb again. It is the start of her opposition to the agents of the Void.

Resources

Shari Loom before anything else is a Whispered, highly psychically awakened and in tune with knowledge that could revolutionize many fields of engineering. She's very good with machines, and her particular knowledge includes the use of extradimensional energy to create seemingly magical effects.

She's also a Britannian noble, if a minor one, with the rights that accompany that title. She doesn't have a lot of money from her family, but she's able to attend a fancy private school and has a stipend that covers most leisure activities.

In her work with Elisa she has made a lot of technology, but one of the most notable that she possesses is a small crystal orb that allows her to influence minds. With it she has added to her pocket money and taken minor control over certain businessmen in Area 11, allowing her to operate her secret lab without too much worry. It's also a beacon Elisa can use to reach her. She is, related, under Dr. Kafim's personal protection, which means if she's ever kidnapped it's gonna be a problem for somebody.

She is also capable of making jewelry. Her lovely stones have a secret, and they would be very valuable to the right people... as they are now to the Kafims.

Relationships

The Void

Name Affiliation Affinity Notes
The Empress At The End Of All Things The Void Affinity-0-red.png "I'll never bow to you again. Never."
Elisa Kafim The Void Affinity-2-yellow.png "Knowing that she's part of the Empress changed everything. There's a reason for everything she does--and I bet that includes not sending anyone after me. If I ever end up crossing her for real, I bet she'll make me know it."
Yuliana Kafim Elisa Affinity-2-yellow.png "I feel bad for her. She's much more tangled-up than I ever was. But being near her is way too dangerous anymore. There's nothing I can do for her except to stay away."
Parminder Chauri 'The Lolz' Affinity-2-yellow.png "I liked him. He's a horrible person and he absolutely could've tracked me down if he'd wanted to, but he hasn't, and I guess that's because it's funnier if he doesn't. All the same, he gave me some good advice. I'd rather not go up against him."
Wendy Yuan ??? Affinity-2-yellow.png "In retrospect I don't feel great about pinning everything on her, but maybe I wouldn't have been such a bitch about it if she didn't try to act like all this stuff was normal."

Others

Name Affiliation Affinity Notes
Emilia Eschonbach Black Knights Affinity-4-blue.png "I didn't know the sorts of things she was up to. It makes sense now, the way she got hurt sometimes. But I'm worried. Emmy, where are you...?"
Milly Ashford ??? Affinity-4-blue.png "Milly welcomed me to the school before anybody else really did. She helped me get out of my shell a little... even if I kinda went back in."
Leina Ashta Cathedra Affinity-5-cloud.png "What, you want me to get all mushy? I trust her. ...Even if I'm pretty sure she's trying to set me up again. It's fine."
Naoko Suzuki 3SA Affinity-4-blue.png "She's a great friend. Still a mega dork, obviously. But she came through when it mattered, and I won't forget that."
Teletha Testarossa Mithril Affinity-2-yellow.png "She's... nice. And she didn't want to kidnap me. But she's kind of awkward, too, and definitely weird. ...But being a Colonel at our age is kind of... It explains a few things?"
Sayaka Yumi Photon Power League Affinity-3-green.png "Yeah, I'll help her out. She was really cool, taking charge when everything went wrong. I'm still kind of embarrassed about how I reacted... but she was there when I made my decision, too."
