Revision as of 14:25, 22 February 2007

Thalia Crescent (サリア クレシェント) is a character from Kingdom Chronicles, although she is from an alternate timeline set in the past, around the events of the first Kingdom Hearts game. She may or may not have grown up with certain FF7 canon characters, as her history needs another rewrite.

Thalia has a twin brother, Lucius Valentine, whom went missing about three years ago. Although she was told he was killed while on a mission, she finds it hard to believe {especially when they managed to give her his ID and handgun, but failed to bring back a body}, and has been searching for him ever since. It is unclear how she made it into the current timeline, although originally, it was due to a lab explosion while working late one night.

She is a scientist working for ShinRa Electric Power Company, a former assistant of Hojo's. Well, in technicality, anyways, as it's implied that she never returns home

Ali is Adolph Valentine's half-sister. There used to be some odd plot involving Ali and Wutai, but this was retconned as well, given the logic that even if Vincent is Wutaian, Thalia is only partly so, and the obvious fact that she works for ShinRa makes it impossible for her to just up and ascend the pagoda to take his place. Y'see, there's some stuff even Tsu later on realizes is too crazy for her to keep with her characters O:

As it is, she wears a charcoal and black striped turtleneck sweater and black cropped pants with black flats under a white labcoat. Thalia has been quoted as saying that the monochrome colors of her outfit are supposed to contrast her labcoat. Occasionally, she can be seen wearing small framed wire-rimmed glasses.

Optionally, she wears a red ShinRa armband on the left arm

Personality

Thalia tends to come off as being calm and reserved, albiet a workaholic ["married to her job", as it used to be joked]. For the most part, she is more than often seen throwing herself into her research, working to meet deadlines. Of course, though she has never admitted to it, Thalia is also a procrastinator, having a habit of putting off working on her reports until the last minute, usually due to being distracted by a new subject of interest or a nice book. Although friendly, Ali tends to find conversations to become awkward after awhile, as most of what she's interested in isn't necessarily what the other party enjoys as well. She's not entirely interested in pursuing a relationship with anyone, although nothing is exactly set in stone, really. In any case, Thalia feels that her work would get in the way. Who would want to date a ShinRa scientist, anyways?

Her ties with her family leave much to be desired. Although Thalia took up her current occupation to follow in her mother's steps, it's not entirely something her parents encouraged. Ali tries her best to remain close to them, though, and was especially fond of her late grandfather, Grimoire. Of course, the buck stops there, to be truthful. Despite having a twin brother, Lucius, the two tend not to see eye to eye on a majority of subjects, and Thalia would rather avoid her brother whenever possible, She doesn't exactly hate him, though, despite having shouted such at him on various occasions. It's more along the lines of the fact that he frustrates her a great deal with the lifestyle he chose. Ironically enough, she does not approve of him working as a Turk, despite having a job within ShinRa herself. She wouldn't exactly put her life on the line to save him, should trouble arise, but it doesn't exactly mean she wishes him harm.

Well, sort of, anyways. There probably would be times where she'd say he deserved whatever he got. D: They've been fighting since they were little, after all.

Although Thalia speaks in a semi-formal manner, and is polite in general, she has little tolerance for people like her brother, which is probably why she's seen fighting with him so often.

History

One of two children to Lucrecia Crescent and Vincent Valentine, Thalia isn't particularly clear on whether she's elder or younger than her brother, as such a thing was never revealed, not that it matters. She was born and raised in Nibelheim, and lived there for a good portion of her life, before moving out at the age of twenty-three to live in Kalm so in order to be closer to her work. As a child, Ali was adventurous and curious about everything, along with having a love of collecting creatures she found while exploring the outdoors; one such find happened to have been a snake, back when Thalia was nine. This tended to get the child in trouble frequently, especially the time she explored the air ducts of the ShinRa building in Midgar so in order to eavesdrop upon a meeting between the scientists, which included her grandfather.

Ironically enough, for a brief period of time, Ali had aspirations of being a Turk, although it's assumed that either the training course made her change her mind, or the simple idea that once her twin brother had become a Turk, it really wasn't a desirable position. In either case, the future scientist chose the path she did, and, at the age of twenty, after completing her studies, applied and was hired for work in ShinRa's science department. Oddly, Thalia prefers not to dilvuge upon details of her work life, and is not all too entirely fond of her supervisor.

Three years after she began her job, shortly after moving to Kalm, news came that her brother her been killed while on a solo mission. Upset, although not entirely convinced, despite the fact that she had claimed her twin to be "a bit of an idiot", Thalia set off to look into what had went down, and as to whether or not Lucius really was dead. After all, as President ShinRa once said, the only way one leaves the Turks is in a body bag, and Ali kinda has yet to see her brother in one. Over time, this became an all too cliche search for her sibling, which found herself, as of recent, not only on another world, but in another timeline.

Stil no sign of "that idiotic Turk"

Kokoro-History

Thalia hadn't expected to wind up in Kokoro, incidentally enough; busy searching for her brother, the scientist met the half-Viera, Eithne, during her investigations, whom suggested asking around at the cafe, where a large group of people were known to gather. A bit hesitant to trust a ten year-old, let alone one whom didn't look like anyone she was familiar with, save for Hojo's experiments, the brunette figured that it was worth a try, and therefore accompanied the child to this world.

She shows up occasionally, hoping to find clues as to her brother's wherabouts in this dimension.

Weapon

Thalia is liscenced to use a standard issue ShinRa handgun, which she keeps with her, usually. She also has her brother's handgun, Blind Justice {or was it Crooked Justice? I deleted my old logs out of shame}, which has been modified to allow the equipping of materia.

That, and for the sheer irony of it, and just because, she also at one point had a sword named Save the Queen, which may or may not have been retconned. You might wonder how a scientist can have a sword, but this is ShinRa we're talking about. They let people like Hojo work for them D:

Lovelife

??

Pondering, pondering. Logic just finally hit me, though, about my first choice for the rewritten!Thalia's lovelife.

Trivia

• Thalia was created on a whim, or at least that's as far as Tsu remembers. It had something to do with suddenly having a newlyfound appreciation of LucreciaxVincent after starting to play DoC, and wanting to create kids.
• As per the old joke of how any kids of Vincent must be exposed to loads of emo-y situations, Ali used to be Tsu's subject of abuse having much emo put upon her. This included some weird plot having to do with Hojo and mako injections of some sorts. Or was that Jenova cells?
• At one point in time, Thalia had a kitten named Lloyd, given to her by Cadence and named by Charice. The general reasoning behind this is sorta unknown, as the old logic doesn't work when Tsu thinks about it, but she prolly still has the dang feline. D:
• Personality wise, Thalia is considered to be like her mother only in the aspect of being enthusiastic about her research. Otherwise, she pretty much takes after Vincent, with her lack of social skills
• Although she has other pictures of her brother, Thalia generally shows Lucius' ID badge, as it's presumed that people would have seen him in his Turk uniform. That, and it'd supposedly be her most recent photo of him
