Jemma Tsukha
Jemma Tsukha is the daughter of Virna, Angel of Eclipse, and his wife Yifang, Deity of Darkness. She has a twin sister, Juneah Kadver, although they are seperated at birth and don't reunite until Divan Lauroch's pact with Tyriel Anamadaí becomes known to the Diatians.
She's one of the two main scavengers for the city of Havenbourne along with her best friend Iesakh, able to stay out on long trips due to the radiation and temperature immunity provided by being an ihonoita.
Appearance
Jemma is described as having warm sandy-gold skin, punctuated by the familiar wasteland sight of Sunstone Disease's signature mottling. Like Juneah, Jemma has streaks of white in her hair, although due to the effects of Sunstone on melanin the rest of her hair is significantly lighter than her sister's, more of a chestnut brown than anything. Her good eye is stained the same bright neon as the yellowcake “dye” in her hair, whilst her blind eye is crimson and pupil-less.
She loves to wear bright and gaudy outfits in the least-appropriate sitations, even going so far as to wear a breezy dress shirt and blazer while out on scavenging runs in the ice. Thanks to being undead Jemma has no need for sunlight-protective-gear or long sleeves, no need for warm clothing and parasols.
Jemma's favourite weapon is her pre-war crowbar, routinely choosing it over any sensible option due to the fact bullets and plasma can't kill her no matter how close-range they are. This has led to a habit of Jemma “scaring” opponents with unhinged behaviour to get them to freeze up for just long enough that she can close the distance between them and strike.
Her backup is a reset EID Pistol model “T0V-K8”, nicknamed “Kate”. Whilst her shot gets worse the longer the sunstone progresses, she has absolutely no issue with just throwing the pistol at opponents instead if she's struggling to steady it.
Personality
Jemma's personality is often a coin-toss thanks to the Sunstone deep in her brain and the strange nature of her infection. Most days she's cheerful and upbeat, her curious nature making her a natural fit for Havenbourne's scavenging team. When the Sunstone's flaring up however, Jemma becomes wildly manic and will lose any sense of personal safety, charging into the path of live fire or radiation like she's immortal.
She's intensely friendly with those she's deemed trustworthy, determined to have as many friends as one woman can, and despite her issues she would rather die than betray a loved one.
Backstory
Jemma and Juneah were born from the moons of Virna's realm, Feizhas, after Tye partially enthralled Virna and tore through the magic holding the realm together. The twins were seperated as newborns and brought down to earth by Corcruil to keep them safe from the war. Jemma was placed with Rilta Shaguda at Lygari's order, whilst Juneah went to live with Corcruil's old friend Fellin. Earth was considered the safest place to hide the twins due to Ivory's Stratosphere Curse, which made the surface almost impenetrable to attacks by Tye's Madaíc magic.
She's raised by Rilta and Morgan like she's their own, and has a surprisingly good upbringing for the wasteland, considering how comfortable life in Havenbourne is. She's told at a young age that she's not their bio daughter, but she doesn't care one bit about that and so neither of them care either. She grows up a loved member of the community, helping out where she can with odd jobs and later becoming a scavenger and being one of the rare few to go up to the surface.
Shortly after the start of the story, Jemma's captured by Divan Lauroch, who infects her with Sunstone and then plans to dissect her and study the disease's effect on the daughter of an Angel. She manages to survive thanks to being effectively immortal, escaping with a flurry of sirens, her sheer strength and magic coming in helpful. She steals the Book of Worms from HALLOW in the process, giving it to Rilta and kicking off the plan to reawaken 125.
