Mint

Mint is a talented Caster who is affiliated with the Victorian Institution for Higher Studies and specializes in geology. She frequently participates in investigative field projects utilizing her expertise in geological research. However, during an expedition she contracted Oripathy a condition related to Originium infection. As a result, she sought consultation at Rhodes Island and currently receives treatment there while assisting with Originium research environmental and geological observation and related services. Due to her work in danger zones Mint operates in high-risk environments despite strict safety measures. It is recommended that she undergo regular checkups to monitor her condition and prevent any aggravation of her Oripathy. Mint's background in the Victorian Institution and her referral to Rhodes Island by Operator Skyfire led to preconceptions among other Operators who had not yet met her. However upon meeting her they quickly realized that Mint is distinct from Skyfire. While both are outstanding in their own ways Mint's true passion lies in geological research in contrast to Skyfire's more general expertise as a Caster. Despite her quiet and proper appearance Mint possesses a curious spirit and vibrant energy. She values her research in geological fields and chose to continue her studies at Rhodes Island even after contracting Oripathy during a pivotal field investigation. One notable aspect of Mint is her unique Arts unit which takes the form of a book. This book combined with her staff allows her to fully utilize her Originium Arts. However the book has a reputation for biting people if its pages are flipped randomly as it contains built-in retaliative mechanisms. Mint usually keeps the book bound with a specially made tie to prevent accidents. While the bites are not life-threatening Mint claims they are quite painful. She acquired the book at an old marketplace near her school known for selling old books and various items of questionable legality. Mint's sense of curiosity is exceptionally strong which is a common trait among scholars from the Victorian Institution. Despite her polite and sweet demeanor her insatiable hunger for knowledge quickly became apparent upon her arrival at Rhodes Island. She explored various areas of the ship and established secret bases in lesser trodden places. However her curiosity sometimes leads to trouble as she can easily become distracted. After completing a pressing task she may be lured away by novel ore or Originium-infected creatures inadvertently separating herself from her team. This tendency to become easily distracted worries others especially Operator Skyfire who frequently becomes frustrated with Mint's wandering nature. Interestingly Mint does not seem overly concerned about her own Oripathy. She views her infection as an unavoidable consequence and focuses more on obtaining valuable samples for experimentation and making breakthrough discoveries in her research. She understands the inherent risks involved in geological research and accepts them willingly. Mint's dedication to her work and passion for geological exploration overshadow her concern for her own well-being. In her free time Mint enjoys retreating to her secret base to read. She also loves engaging in playful activities with her friends such as climbing trees and embarking on adventures. She tends to follow the lead of someone she trusts but can easily become captivated by something new and drift away excitedly. If Mint offers you a present even if it appears insignificant such as a dirty piece of ore it is recommended to accept it graciously as it holds significance to her and represents her desire to share something she values.
