TRIGGER'S BACKSTORY:

A nigh-blind sniper and frontline survivor of the old capital's fall, Trigger is a member of Obol Squad, where she uses her array of close-range, sharpshooting and stealth skills obtained from her time at Lyre Squad along with an ability gained from her corrupted eyesight dubbed 'Ether Vision' and heightened senses in hopes of finding the true culprits behind Eridu's fall.

Outside of being a soldier specializing in killing targets from afar, Trigger has a caring side. Her desire to protect those near to her has a notable effect on her psyche, and she also gets along well with children. Also, she likes red bean buns.

The once shy Phlegethon was a soldier brought into Eridu Defense Force's Chrysoberyl Division - Lyre Squad by its captain Charon to be their sniper. Her codename was considered cumbersome by Charon, who decided to redub her with a new codename: Trigger. Over the span of a two and a half years, Trigger became more talkative and skilled as a sniper, capable of adjusting to changes in wind speeds on the fly and protecting her teammates from harm. She also made tight bonds with each member of Lyre Squad to the point her captain noticed how she seemed on the verge of breaking any time a member got hurt. Whilst recording a message with the rest of Lyre Squad to celebrate Trigger's 1000th day, she told the sniper not to bear everything alone and to trust them with her vulnerable side and gifted her a song she composed on a harmonica "Homecoming". Trigger would never hear this message until after the old capital's fall.

When Hollow Zero first began expansion, Defense Force HQ believed it was a normal Hollow disaster that could easily be stopped with the standard amount of troops, this included Lyre Squad, who were sent with the promise of reinforcements coming to support them, but soon what they expected to be a regular amount of Ethereals became an onslaught and their backup never came. Trigger watched her fellow soldiers die or be corrupted until she was hit with a powerful etheric to her eyes, which corrupted them to the point that 90% of her eyesight was gone. Trigger soon lost consciousness due to that and other wounds, and the last thing she ever saw was her squadmates, heavily corrupted and injured yet still protecting her. Whilst they continued to fight, Lyre Squad soon saw another solider, Grim Vulture of Nemesis Squad, who was retreating. With them being beyond saving, they tasked the fleeing sniper with saving Trigger, which she did.

When Trigger regained consciousness, the old capital had been destroyed and Hollow Zero was contained. Now blind, Trigger was interrogated by an unknown group. According to her Lyre Squad was still alive and with her, which contradicted with other statements and caused the sniper to mentally break, when the interrogation concluded, Trigger promised to find her friends.

Trigger soon left the Defense Force, now suffering heavy PTSD from the Hollow Zero incident. Over time she learnt that her disability had granted her a unique ability to detect etheric fluctuations of humans, Ethereals and objects within a Hollow, an ability she named "Ether Vision". During this time Trigger spent most of her time around Port Elpis. It was at this same location where she heard the familiar melody of "Homecoming" once again. This song led to her befriending then rookie proxies Phaethon and soon led to them learning what happened to her squad and ending the life of her savior-turned-serial killer. Afterwards, Trigger made her new goal in life to be finding the real culprits behind the old capital's fall, and took an offer given to her by Nathan, former captain of Obsidian Division - Impera Squad to join a squad that was being formed which aligned with her new goal: Obol Squad.

Trigger is a tall, blonde woman with a distinctive mask covering the upper part of her face. She is part of the Obol Squad and is typically seen in black and light orange tactical gear, similar to other members like Soldier 11. She wields a black and light orange sniper rifle. Her mask is a permanent part of her face model and conceals her eyes, which are described as "voidridden" due to an etheric contamination incident.

TRIGGER'S PERSONALITY:

Trigger is portrayed as a warm, motherly, and easygoing character, despite her initial design suggesting a more stoic, cold, and badass soldier trope. She is significantly older than many other characters and has a strong bond with Soldier 11, showcasing a caring and protective side. Her character design and interactions subvert expectations, adding depth and complexity to the game's narrative.

Here's a more detailed look at Trigger's personality:

Subversion of Expectations: Trigger's character design, especially her military attire, might lead players to expect a cold, stoic, and badass soldier type. However, her interactions reveal a warm, motherly, and easygoing personality.

Age and Maturity: Trigger is 32 years of age. This age difference may contribute to her more mature and motherly demeanor, especially towards younger people,

Relationships: She has a strong, caring relationship with Soldier 11, and their interactions are often heartwarming, adding depth to the game's narrative. Trigger also seems to have a friendly and approachable personality towards the proxies, even expressing a desire to spend more time with them outside of commissions.

"Gap Moe": Trigger's character embodies the "gap moe" concept, where a character's personality subverts expectations, creating a sense of charm and appeal. Her moments of seriousness, particularly when on duty or potentially influenced by her past trauma, add another layer of complexity to her character.

Impact of Past Trauma: Trigger's experience with the Hollow Zero disaster as a grown adult in the military is a significant part of her backstory and likely influences her personality. Her way of coping with the trauma, by searching for her squad mates, contrasts with other characters like Zoe, who seek vengeance.

MISCALLENOUS:

Phlegethon: The military-grade electric sniper rifle Phlegethon is a custom weapon made for Trigger by members of Lyre Squad when she first joined the Defense Force. Its special construction allows it to handle multiple combat scenarios with utmost ease, including, but not limited to, long-range sniping, rapid firing, and close-quarters combat.

Initially, to maintain a stylistic consistency with the other members, the young lady's codename was supposed to be Phlegethon. However, since it was too cumbersome to read, Captain Charon ultimately gave her a different codename: Trigger. The name Phlegethon was instead given to her beloved rifle, serving as proof of the bond between her and her teammates.
