Shining

Shining is a remarkable Sarkaz medic who has an extensive background in the field of medicine and Originium Arts. She is a former member of the Sarkaz medic group called "Confessor" and currently serves as a member of the infected assistance group known as the "Followers." As a Medic Operator at Rhodes Island, she utilizes her expertise in Originium Arts theories and provides crucial medical support during operations.

Shining has made significant contributions to the medical department at Rhodes Island, offering advanced theories and knowledge regarding Originium. She, along with her colleagues, has dedicated herself to alleviating the suffering of the Infected, showcasing her empathy and commitment. Her skills and dedication have earned her the admiration of her fellow Operators.

Observations indicate that Shining possesses unique Originium Arts abilities that extend beyond healing. Battle reports suggest that she can "protect" Operators from combat damage using her Originium Arts. However, further research by Caster Operators is required to fully understand the nature of her abilities.

In private gatherings, Shining has been known to demonstrate her exceptional Originium Arts. Her performances are described as a warm glow that moves slowly in a dark room, gradually expanding, dancing on the walls, and changing colors. These displays captivate the children at Rhodes Island. Shining's aura appears more solid and tangible compared to the radiant light emitted by other Operators like Nearl.

Despite her impressive abilities and knowledge, Shining remains reserved about her past and personal experiences. She refrains from discussing topics such as why she left her own kind, her emotional journey, the role of Sarkaz in various political bodies, and similar inquiries.

Shining's true capabilities extend beyond her healing expertise. According to a debriefing, she possesses exceptional swordfighting skills, making her one of the mightiest swordfighters witnessed by the debriefer. However, Shining avoids using a sword and seems to harbor a loathing or disgust towards blades. Her sword skills have been kept hidden from Rhodes Island, and only a select few have witnessed her prowess.

The "Confessor" is a secretive Sarkaz organization, and not much information is available about it. Shining's reaction upon meeting Amiya for the first time suggests that she is not a mundane Sarkaz traveling healer. The nature of her affiliation and where her loyalties lie remain unclear. Questions arise about her stance if another Redeemer crisis were to occur and whether she would stand with or fight against Rhodes Island.

Shining's past and emotions are enigmatic, and it is challenging to decipher her true thoughts solely based on her behavior. It is speculated that understanding her would require someone like the Doctor to gain her trust and lower her guard. However, anyone who gains her trust is unlikely to disclose her secrets to any agency.

In a debate with Dr. Kal'tsit, Shining made a statement that resonated with many Medic Operators. She emphasized the importance of dedication and reliability among Rhodes Island's Operators and highlighted the significance of patients valuing their own lives. Shining not only aims to save lives but also to protect them. To her, healing and protection are intertwined concepts, reflecting her deep commitment to her patients' well-being.
