Background: Colette Brunel is the female lead in Tales of Symphonia and the seventh successful Chosen One, destined to regenerate the world by ascending the Tower of Salvation as an angel, thereby saving her world, Sylvarant.

Her transformation into an angel comes at great personal cost, losing her humanity bit by bit, which she hides to protect her friends from worry.

Journey of Regeneration: Her journey involves releasing the seals scattered across the world, culminating at the Tower of Salvation where she is to make the ultimate sacrifice. Unbeknownst to her closest friends initially, this journey will end in her transformation into an angel, losing her human sensations and eventually her heart and memories.

Transformation and Challenges: Throughout her quests, Colette's body begins to crystallize due to a rare angelic disease, Chronic Angelus Crystallus Inofficium, causing her immense pain. Despite this, she hides her suffering to keep her friends focused on their mission.
