Greatest Strength
As a Pandora, she has spiritual abilities above a normal person, able to see ghosts and communicate with Gods. She can sense evil Gods like the Miseries and has been trained to seal them.
Greatest Weakness
She's very aloof so she'll impulsively make a decision that might not be a good idea, e.x putting her hand on something hot, or even unsealing Blithe out of curiousity because she knows she could just reseal him if needed.
Aquascaping
Her house has a small pond that she likes to decorate in plants. She cares a lot of small fish throughout the year. Blithe hates them since they feel gross apparently.
Basket making
Her family was full of weavers for all kinds of things, so she learned to make baskets on her own. She'll do it when bored just to be productive, but doesn't sell or need them...
Live music
Nacrea can't play any instruments but likes to watch live shows in town when they happen. Since she lives on a hilltop, she can actually hear it from there and get a decent view, so nowadays she does that so she can watch with Blithe.
Positive Traits
Docile and good hearted, Nacrea is known to be a down to earth person, and it shows if she chooses to spend time with a formerly evil God like any other person. Maybe since she lives so peacefully for the most part, it encourages others to do the same and enjoy mundane things as much as she does.
Neutral Traits
While she can be considered peaceful, she's also an airhead so she'll unintentially get herself into trouble and be calm about it. Sometimes Blithe feels more like a parent than a friend to her when she's does things like hold dangerous bugs or walk into a wall. She always laughs it off but it's worrisome anyway.
Negative Traits
Even if she isn't one to gossip or chat much, she's still somewhat nosy and when others do things, she wants to be involved or know what's happening. She's sort of like an NPC that walks in your way until you interact with it.
Others' Perception
Loved Ones
Those close to her treat her like a little sister, and sometimes the younger pandoras act more mature than her. They're all close regardless.
Strangers
Many don't pay any mind to her since she doesn't cause trouble thwt personally impacts them. She's often at home too.
Enemies
Some think it's reckless of her to hang out with an evil God, but they start getting used to it if there's no damage yet.
Still being human in looks and abilities, Nacrea didn’t stand out until it was her turn to watch over the long captured Uncertainty Misery. In fact, Blithe’s reign of mischief ended generations before Nacrea was born. As a child she was just told to steer clear of the ornate thurible set in its own room, and not to question those assigned to watching over it. When she did ask, she was told it’s just a holy object, a subject of prayer or faith perhaps— nothing to worry about. And yet, she persisted in asking, “Why does it give off a bad feeling?”
With the last Pandora assigned passing a while back, someone who had the god’s blessing in sensing the Miseries, those around Nacrea realized she wasn’t fooled. Next up, arrangements were officially made to set Nacrea as the next Pandora. Before the title, she was a simple and mostly docile child that blended in with peers. After word spread that she had a wonderful ability with the supernatural, she was placed on a pedestal. She didn’t quite care about the change even if she had to live in a vacant temple to maximize surveillance of the Misery, she was usually alone enough that she wasn’t always caught up in praising crowds and the like. In such a strange new home, full of historical artifacts and the history of previous Pandoras, Nacrea spent the rest of her childhood learning what she needed to accomplish and doing any training that was needed.
By the time she became an adult, she still felt that bad feeling from the thurible. Swinging it around only aggravated what was in there more instead of quelling it, so she stopped that long ago(but Blithe remembers the mishandling). At her age, she felt her intuition couldn’t fail her, as an adult her choices have enough thought, but is the ordeal of releasing Blithe worth it? Was it safe? She was someone blessed, with years of training and knowledge on resealing just in case. That said, she decided to unseal a being she was told countless exaggerated tales about.
The moment seemed magical, bright lights, glittering smoke coming from the ornament, a grand being standing before her. Nacrea originally wondered if she just unleashed a regular god, but doubted it at the being’s terrible first impression. No title bragging or flaunting of power, no cool aura, just a very confused Misery on the ground for the first time in generations. Disoriented completely, Blithe expected to be resealed immediately, yet Nacrea’s enthusiasm already passed and she figured she would just go to another room. Shortly returning with a meal, she offered it to the mostly human-looking boy in front of her. Cont.
From then on they coexisted, Nacrea doing her daily tasks as usual, Blithe engaging in them as well oddly enough. The life they live now is lax, and sometimes Blithe actually worries about how lax Nacrea can be. There was a brief panic when some townspeople visited Nacrea, seeing her preparing dinner with the abhorred Blithe, but she conjured a badly improvised script that having Blithe as an ally could help them if another Misery appears. To Blithe’s bewilderment, they went along with it as if he wasn’t destroying towns years ago, maybe the stories changed to lesser crimes. He wondered why Nacrea was truly accepting of him, or if she was prepared to take him down should he cause a ruckus.
To be honest, Nacrea’s independent and unfazed nature was thanks to her early childhood. She didn’t actually grow up with both of her parents and had stayed with neighbors that she didn’t latch onto. Whether she cared for her own parents is also unclear, she always changes the topic when she has to recall anything, but she’s satisfied with the company around her now. Not belonging in a group due to wanting to do things herself, and Blithe not getting in her way in general, Nacrea is fine with the one companion she has, someone who doesn’t pry into the morally gray aspects of her experiences. By the time Gingko appears to take Blithe as an ally, the Misery is initially adamant to not go; Nacrea’s company is beneficial as she doesn’t seal him, and there’s no picking at his identity as a potential harbinger of evil. However, with Nacrea’s ability to detect the Miseries, she is willing to help Gingko when needed. Only then does Blithe agree to tag along, but both aren’t opposed to the new things they come across.
∙ She never gets sick, but tends to always get scratches, bruises, bites without noticing until it's pointed out.
∙ Her first design was a space princess, same name but entirely different design. She went from a tsundere to a kuudere.
∙ She's a lightweight so she can become drunk easily. Luckily she hardly ever gets to drink anyway.
∙ She nods and smiles when she confused, but it's so obvious.
∙ Impulse buyer, her home was lonely at first so she kept buying things to decorate the walls with. She succombs easily to a sale.

“You…you’re looking down at me aren’t you?! Bringing this here to poison me, aren’t you-“
Nacrea had silenced him with a spoonful, she wasn’t the best cook, and Blithe wasn’t a fan of soup, but suddenly he missed small human experiences like these. Despite his prior dislike of humans, Blithe still indulged in their activities out of curiosity. If they learned anything from observation, being given food could mean a poisoning, sure, not that it would kill them, but it could also mean care and affection. Unless it was a trap that would harm him later, at that moment, Blithe decided Nacrea was showing care to him. He instigated trouble with humans before and earned their disdain, yet this stranger unconditionally spent time with him, something he didn’t hate after years of solitude and festering anger.
