the murderous, traitor Intoner
history
This is a story of six "sisters"...
"Rose" is not her name. If she ever had one, she doesn't know what it was. She was an undesired child, one subjected to the violence of a mother she couldn't bring herself to blame because she'd already accepted that she had no place in that home. It wouldn't last either, and she would be sold as a child into prostitution.
There she met others like her. People without names. People without pasts. Those who were burdens and unwanted in this world. In time she would try to place her trust in them-- in "Indigo", who like her answered to the color of her eyes. But she was betrayed when they planned their escape. By Indigo and man she recognized as one of Indigo's regular customers. She was just a means to get more gold out of the brothel for the two of them. Beyond that, she was simply in the way. They meant to kill her.
People from the Brothel however recaptured her. And this time she found herself with a very different plan. Kill them all. She took as much money as she could-- but learned that the best way to survive would be taking only what she needed.
Left wandering alone in a city, she encountered a familiar man. While she didn't remember him, he seemed to remember her. He was a former patron of the brothel. While she thought to kill him, she found that she could not. Rather, for a time, she accepted a life with him. They lived in the same house in relative peace until the day she contracted a deadly and highly contagious illness. The man meant to abandon her, but not without attempting to sell her off first.
This time, she felt no hesitation. She cut his head of, and began wandering again.
As her illness worsened, she became weaker and weaker until she was captured. Placed in a cell with five other women, she watched as each of them were horrifically tortured and killed one by one. She never experienced that, for her illness caught up with her first. But as she died, her eyes fell upon a beautiful pink flower growing from the ground.
The flower revived her; taking root inside of her body. It made her into what is now known as an Intoner. It had only one purpose for using her and that was to further it's ambitions of destroying humanity. Having no intention of being used by it, she tried to commit suicide. But rather than dying, her power was split into pieces-- five additional pieces, each given their own forms and Intoner powers.
It was her fault that her "sisters" were created. And that's why it's her duty...
To kill them.
She is the source, the empty shell from which they were created. That is why she is "Zero".

personality
Zero's sisters reflect pieces of Zero herself. And the disdain and hatred she pushes upon them is a reflection of the self-loathing she practices. She bears an intense hatred for the world that gave birth to her and yet never once seemed to have a place for her in it. She bears a grudge as deep as the scars she carries from years of abuse and emotional torture.
She abuses her body in battle; pushing herself to the point where losing a limb is an acceptable loss if it might give her an advantage. It's not always so strategic though. Blinded by her goal, there are times when she thinks things through only in black and white. She "must" kill her sisters, so she fights. It's not "can" she kill them. There's no room for doubt, only results. Which works about as well as you'd think in reality.
Yet she masks it behind a haughty demeanor that seems keen to create distance between herself and others.
And violence. Her rage bubbles to the top and spills over. It doesn't matter if it's men, women or children-- if they get in her way then she'll kill them without batting an eyelash. Apathy and bitterness fill the space of what was once naivety and acceptance. They're better suited to supporting her in her pursuit of her goals.
Despite how inflamed she seems in battle, she actually has a rather lazy side as well.
Placing her trust in others has resulted in nothing but trouble. Pain, disappointment, hardships... Rather than trust people, now she only has the intention to make use of them. After all, she expects they only intend to do the same, and that's fine with her. Partnerships of convenience and mutual benefit suit her just fine. If they have a problem with that then they can just get lost or die.
It's not as though they mean nothing to her. The honesty of their relationship means she can appreciate them in a way that's not exactly friendly but it's not without it's merits. If they do something for her at their own expense, she's very aware of it. But she never lets herself get so attached that she's not ready to punish them should they betray her. There's no mercy for something like that.
