CHARACTER INFO.
NAME: Sieglinde Sullivan
CANON: Kuroshitsuji
AGE: 13 (11 in canon, two years with Audentes)
APPEARANCE: Here
CANON POINT: ch. 104
BACKGROUND: Here, Kuroshitsuji Wikia
PERSONALITY: Sieglinde presents herself as the mature and elusive Green Witch, Master of the Green Manor, of Wolfsschlucht Village, but she is a young girl who was raised in a rather strange combination of freedom and captivity.
Because she grew up in a position of power, Sieglinde wanted for nothing material in her life and became a bit spoiled by consequence, assuming people around her will simply respond to her orders and questions because everyone around her always has. As someone who always had servants, she didn't really know how to do a lot of basic things for herself, just expecting certain things to be done for her.
When it came to manners she could be (and still can be) quite rude unintentionally simply because none of those who attended her ever corrected her behavior. Staring at people overly long, eating with her hands with most unladylike gusto, asking things and demanding attention from people around her without imagining that someone might refuse or not be happy to give it... However, none of this is malicious or intentionally bratty- she really just doesn't know better or notice for the most part. When corrected she tends to be more than happy to change or learn new ways if it seems like it would be beneficial or make her more "normal".
And Sieglinde does learn fast. She is a natural genius, and this can make her somewhat smug, used to being the smartest in the room, and she can sometimes come off cocky or condescending without realizing it.
Having been kept isolated within a small village comprised of women, Sieglinde was ignorant of how to behave around children and men. She had practically no experience in interacting with other children, or in how to treat men at all. Because of what she had read in books she had rather outrageous ideas about men- mainly that they are lust filled creatures who think only of ahem. She herself was (and still is) quite blithely curious about the ahem as only a youngster can be, though this got her in to trouble more often than not and she is slowly realizing that most people in the outside world think you can't just discuss such things.
When given the rare opportunity to be around people her own age or when not under pressure to act as a leader, Sieglinde can be childish. Around adults she is used to always acting as one, but she's can be entertained with the sort of simple activities she grew up without, such as drawing and sleepovers and midnight snacks. Though she is very controlled and mature when she's in charge of a situation, she can be emotional and easily swayed when she is not, easily influenced by those who seem confident or knowledgeable. Though recent canon events lead to her being less trusting going forward, she has been naively trusting in the past.
Sieglinde is very used to healing and caring for others, and can act nurturing or strictly with patients as need calls for, regardless of how old they are in relation to her. She is also rather forgiving, having the intelligence to understand extenuating circumstances, when one might not be behaving like themselves, or when motives are well-intentioned but the action may not be.
Above all else she is curious, and devours everything new she can find out about... most everything. She never seems content in knowing "enough", (though she can have a decent respect for personal privacy), and once she's had a taste of something she tends to want more, not satisfied with only words or pictures if there's a possibility to try it for herself.
Despite this curiosity and hunger for a taste of the "outside world", Sieglinde takes duties entrusted to her very seriously. Despite feeling torn between loyalty to her home and the desire for the "outside", she doesn't actually agree to abandon her charges even when given the chance until she's completed her duties first. Though she will push and plead slightly for selfish reasons, she tends to cave and remember to try for selflessness. Because her sense of loyalty and her acceptance of the burdens placed on her is stronger than her personal desires, Sieglinde is inclined to accept her roles and the responsibilities that come with them, though it doesn't exempt her from resentment or regret. Even though she is still a child, and may act out on occasion, she ends up putting others before herself and trying her best to be what people need her to be- the wise, mature, and powerful Green Witch.
In recent canon, Sieglinde experienced a great deal of trauma in a very short time, and this affected her behavior coming into ALASTAIR. Pulled directly after hours in which she found out her entire life is a lie, she had to spent a lot of time rebuilding herself and discovering who she was going to be if not what she'd always thought herself to be. Since joining Audentes Sieglinde has become more secretive, a more adept liar, and more bitter, not morally comfortable with the things she's done and the things she's seen the team do on their missions- yet she has assisted and healed the team anyway because of self-imposed duty.
Having seen and experienced all she has in the last two years, she's grown up in many ways. She is steadier in violent situations, she is more mature in her thinking, more sensitive to cultural nuances, and since making a breakthrough on her quest to cure the Ultimate Magic, a bit less manic obsessive about her research. She's learned better how to act more "normal", and she's set to continue trying to pin down who is going to be now that she feels she's reclaimed the name "Green Witch".
ABILITIES: Sieglinde is considered in her world to be something of a natural scientific genius, demonstrating signs of advanced learning from a very young age such as advanced reading level and understanding of scientific topics such as chemistry. It's implied that genetics, her parents both being scientists of advanced caliber, is perhaps to thank for her prodigal intelligence. She is shown to be gifted in all areas of learning, able to pick up enough of a foreign language in a single day to have an unscripted conversation, and to have an understanding of scientific concepts far beyond her age. On top of her natural potential she has lived most of her life in the Green Witch Education Project, which was designed specifically to remove any moral, physical, and mental obstacles between her and the drive to know and create, which fueled both her base of knowledge and her capacity for curiosity. She is gifted enough that at the age of eleven she was able to continue her parent's work and synthesize the chemical formula for mustard gas.
Because of her genius and studies, Sieglinde is most well-versed in the field of chemistry, as well as biomedical science and botany, though she has been raised to understand them through the lens of magic rather than with proper contemporary terms. What she knows as potions are actually liquid forms of medication. What she knows as spells are actually written chemical formulas. Though she is an alarmingly quick learner, it will take at least some time for her to unlearn the understanding of science through magic and relearn it in more modern ways.
As for her physical abilities, Sieglinde is a child, and her feet have been bound for half her life. After the Nalawi mission with ALASTAIR she had them rebroken and reset, but intentionally did not use magical healing out of a combination of guilt and concern for what might happen if she returned to her non-magical world having done so. She can now walk easier by herself, but thanks to nerve death and tendon damage she has some numbness that leads to balance issues, so she still tends to avoid running and watches her step on rougher terrain. Despite her service for two years in Audentes, she's still avoided most manual labor and weapon handling, though she has become slightly more physical capable in general and now knows how to at least defend herself with a small blade.
INVENTORY: Here, linked on account of all the things she's accumulated in her two years in game
HATHAWAY.
SUITABILITY: Due to both her advanced intellect and her upbringing, Sieglinde has been living an adult for some years and has taken on more responsibilities than many adults can claim. Since joining up with Audentes two years ago, her experiences have only accumulated, serving as a team healer/doctor and undertaking science projects for the betterment of individual team members and missions. Though she still has a tendency to prefer working alone to teamwork, Sieglinde has become quite accustomed to team operations and the sort of missions ALASTAIR/Hathaway conduct. Sieglinde does still has reservations about the moral correctness of these missions and what happens during them, what she does during them sometimes... but she can't allow the chance to see these new worlds and learn so many things impossible in her own world pass her by.
INCENTIVE: Guarantee that she will be allowed to return to her world with all the notes, materials, and possessions she gathers on her journey with Hathaway.
SPECIALIZATION: 1. Sentinel 2. Inventor
Sieglinde's experience in her homeworld is in the manufacture of biochemical weaponry and the treatment of wounds. Since her recruitment with ALASTAIR she has done more work on the healing side of things, and has gotten a bit comfortable with the role of team doctor of sorts. She takes satisfaction in helping others, healing them, and protecting them, so Sentinel would suit her well. Inventor would suit her just as well, as she has a boundless curiosity and drive to create and experiment, and has throughout her service with ALASTAIR occasionally spearheaded private research projects for individual members, something she'd just as happily continue with Hathaway.
