Saria

Saria is a highly accomplished individual who has made significant contributions to various scientific fields, including life science, microbiology, and Originium Arts. She formerly served as the director of the Rhine Lab Defense Division, where she showcased her expertise in demolition, protection, and anomaly containment missions. Despite her authoritative knowledge in medical treatment, Saria did not become a Medic Operator, possibly due to her perceived lack of bedside manner, as humorously suggested by Medic Operator Ptilopsis.

Saria possesses a unique set of skills in Originium Arts, particularly in the manipulation of calcium and chemical compounds within a circular area around her. This enables her to effectively utilize her erudite medical knowledge and capabilities. She can employ her Originium Arts to weaken and block enemies, as well as employ her weapon and shield to safeguard her teammates. Saria believes that the strength of Originium Arts lies in the purpose for which they are used, rather than the mere utilization itself.

As the leader of Rhine Lab's Defense Division, Saria's shield serves a dual purpose as her staff. She is known for her strategic mindset, combining her medical expertise with her exceptional combat skills. Saria is highly skilled in protecting her teammates on the battlefield, and her ability to break apart enemies and disrupt their will to fight is noteworthy. Her involvement in battlefield command ensures minimal casualties for her team, as she prioritizes defense in the plans implemented.

Saria's relationship with Rhine Lab is complex. While most Rhine Lab Operators working with Rhodes Island hold her in high regard, Medic Operator Silence harbors nothing but hatred towards her. Saria remains unfazed by Silence's animosity and attempts to communicate with Caster Operator Ifrit are frequently obstructed by Silence. The hostility between Saria and Silence originates from a failed experiment at Rhine Lab, which Saria single-handedly contained. Saria's departure from Rhine Lab following the experiment's mishaps remains shrouded in mystery, as her reasons for cooperating with Rhodes Island are undisclosed.

A classified log reveals Saria's concerns about Ifrit's growth and the potential catastrophic consequences if not properly controlled. She accuses the upper echelon of Rhine Lab of concealing the truth, with Silence being oblivious to these circumstances. Rhodes Island acknowledges the need for Saria's cooperation in dealing with problematic Rhine Lab Operators and confronting hidden Operators. The organization invites Saria to strengthen her cooperation, contingent on severing her political relationships. The situation necessitates caution, as political inclinations of certain individuals involved should be monitored.

Rhodes Island acknowledges Saria's personal strength but lauds her commitment to her duty of defending her teammates with her shield and Originium Arts. Despite her immense power, she chooses to assist the team rather than unleashing devastating attacks on the enemy directly. Saria has not provided an answer to the question posed by many Operators regarding her choice of using auxiliary Originium Arts and her shield. She instead reprimands and guides other Operators, emphasizing that combat is not solely about strength and that it should not be wielded recklessly. In the chaos of battle, only those who remain vigilant can stand their ground.
