Sumire

Formerly named Mary. She was given a new name by Helios once she escaped the patriarchal polygamist cult that she was born into. He also reconstructed her personality, despite her last minute objections to such a procedure.

She used to be strict and sharp with outsiders, back when she was in the cult. But when she was around the other cult members, she was quiet and defenseless, especially since her mother died. The contradictions between the things her beloved mother encouraged and the cult's teachings were eating her alive, until Jirul and Harmony helped her escape the cult.

But it wasn't enough. Even though these outsiders were kind and she was living a more free life like her mother wanted her to, Mary couldn't shake the fear of Hell, sin and god. That is why she approached Helios, asking him to rip those parts of her out so that she could be a version of herself that wasn't tainted by the abusive teachings of the cult.

Upon discovering she had just moved from one cult to another, she changed her mind about the procedure. But it was too late.

She is happy in her new life. Helios and her onebloods take good care of her. She gets to spend as much time as she wants with her girlfriend Jirul. She is still strict and sharp, but it is closer to being on her own terms than it used to be.
