Her left arm is made of light-grey coloured wood and she uses this same arm to wield her gear, which is a winding wood staff ending on a bowline. A pink flower with a light yellow pistil rests at the top of it while a fluorescent flower sits on the inside of the curl. Vine Staff wears traditional makeup, with lipstick and eyeliner. She wears a necklace with a golden koban. Her boots are black with pink laces.

PERSONALITY;

Vine Staff is a Phighter who is concerned with the safety of others. She makes sure that the people around her are cautious of the potential danger they may pose to themself and others. Creating plans in how to go about a fight is something that she prefers to do, and something she establishes with every Phighter. When there is no plan, she is worried. Despite her kind nature, she doesn't shy away from jesting at other Phighters, being especially sarcastic with her brother, Shuriken.

LORE;

Vine Staff is a Phighter coming from the region of Thieves' Den. She is a rarity in which she was born with no parents but has a biological brother in Shuriken. She helps Slingshot in his work at his café, alongside Shuriken. The aforementioned all live together as roommates in Thieves' Den. Her arm is cursed to be wood, which grows back despite her attempting to amputate it various times. Her cursed arm is treated as normal since she can still feel with it. She can use it to her advantage to grow plant life off of it. According to the phone call with the Broker, Vine Staff's curse is not unique to her and has been seen more than once in Broker's lifetime, being cited as rare by him. In the same phone call, Broker states that he watches Vine Staff be a “miracle worker” in reviving dead and withering plants in Crossroads. Scythe also mentions her curse, but instead refers to it as a blessing. When Vine Staff counters that there’s nothing blessed about it, Scythe says it’s a matter of perspective.

RELATIONS;

Katana, (Along with Shuriken and Slingshot, Vine Staff saw Katana as an older neighbour. The three of them used to leave gifts outside his door so Katana knows he's appreciated. Katana is dead.)

Shuriken, (Shuriken was Vine Staff's biological brother and someone she was extremely close to. They were both created "unconventionally", and even though he was someone she commonly poked fun of, she did care for him and would genuinely congratulate him on a job well done. Because her arm is cursed, Shuriken had the same arm tattooed in commemoration of her. Shuriken used to call Vine Staff "Vine". Shuriken is dead.)

Slingshot, (Slingshot was Vine Staff's roommate and boss of her workplace. She sees him as family. Slingshot is dead.)

Skateboard, (Vine Staff used to attempt to understand Skateboard’s lingo and mannerisms, oftentimes being confused or not fully understanding the remarks made by the latter. Despite this, she used to attempt to imitate them in an effort to be more friendly towards Skateboard. Skateboard is dead.)

Boombox, (Vine Staff enjoys Boombox’s music during combat, and thanks him for what he does. Boombox is alive.)

Scythe, (Scythe likes Vine Staff, but is disliked in return. Scythe is a serial killer. Scythe calls her "Flowers". Scythe is alive.)
