Vee

Personal Info
The third child of a renowned archmage, she carries herself with grace, her mastery of magic matched only by her kindness.
Since arriving in the Abyss, she has swiftly become a superstar among Explorers. Wherever she goes, all eyes follow.
Countless teams have offered a place to her, only to be politely declined due to "different philosophies."
With her formidable abilities, Vee works alone, though she occasionally collaborates with other Explorers for special tasks.
According to those who have worked with her, Vee prioritizes the safety of her companions above all else, even over fame, wealth, or the success of the mission itself.
If it means giving up hard-won gains to ensure everyone's well-being, she won't hesitate.
Chronicles
Miss Vee Fan Club, wanna join? Earn enough contribution points, and you'll receive an authentic autograph from the lady herself!
What do you mean "fake"? Listen, this signature was literally cut from the contract she signed during her last commission! Our club paid a fortune for it!
Hey, do you think you could run away with it? Come back here and—Ugh, unbelievable!
— A Big Fan
She's gentle, I know. But when she gets angry, it's terrifying. No one can calm her down. Exactly like Mom!
Whenever my brother and I got into trouble, her lectures would pin us in place. Not even Dad dared intervene.
Actually... maybe don't write this down? If she finds out, I'll never hear the end of it next time we meet.
— Vee's Sister
Truth is, Vee is the most talented among us. She just isn't as flashy as her sister and me, so her reputation never quite matches ours.
Her attentiveness is beyond anything we could match. When I was injured years ago, she nursed me back to health. Without her care, I probably wouldn't have made it through.
— Vee's Brother
The Abyss is a challenge that every one of our family needs to take on, yes, but never mandatory. Her father and I never wanted her to go.
Her brother ventured in with strength equal to hers, yet still... He survived, but he can no longer continue as an Explorer.
Knowing all this, she still chose to walk that path. Hah. Guess she takes after us.
— Vee's Mother
Record
Shortly after joining the team, Vee adapted to group dynamics. Whether in teamwork or social interactions, her performance has been nothing short of impeccable.
The members trust her deeply. During joint operations, many actively seek to partner with her.
It's not just because of her strength; she was able to establish a close rapport with the rest of the team. The latter was what mattered most.
Outside of work, Vee enjoys taking walks around the rest area in search of small novelties.
Once, a teammate suggested she should venture further out, but she cited safety concerns as the reason for refusal.
One could tell from her every action that it isn't an excuse; she does value her friends' safety above all else.
And such consideration results in a situation where she would refrain from doing anything that might expose anyone else to risks, even if it was something she loved to do.
"You don't have to sacrifice what you love for others." But saying that outright to her would be difficult, wouldn't it?
For now, the only solution might be to arrange some special assignments during her next leave...
Anecdote
Illia Valley, the Abyss' newest hotspot, is a spacious tourist attraction showcasing rare monsters, exotic flora, and even meticulously-recreated installations about the Abyss' wonders.
At the entrance, Vee stood looking at her commission letter: "Survey the area and document significant findings...?"
She then glanced at the towering promotional billboard beside her: "'Come Illia for a Glimpse into the Abyss!' This is clearly just a place for sightseeing..."
Baffled, she stepped inside.
"That's a monster I've never seen before... And is that one of the famed wonders? No, focus. I'm here on a mission!"
Shaking off distractions, Vee sharpened her gaze, scanning the surroundings for anything amiss.
Then, a flicker of dissonance. "I've been here earlier. That stone is located... Did it move?"
As a response, the stone unfurled with a roar and lunged at her.
"Thank you! Bye-bye!"
"Take care." After she reunited a lost child with her family, dusk had settled.
"I've covered most of the valley. Let's call it a day. But the report... where do I start?"
Today, Vee brought an escaped monster back to its cage for staff, caught two pickpockets,
treated an injured maintenance worker who fell, mediated in an argument between two groups of tourists, and of course, helped that child.
After a pause, she penned her conclusion:
"No notable anomalies detected."
"Mission complete. Pity I couldn't properly study the exhibits... Next time the team visits, I'll give it a good tour."
With that quiet resolve, Vee left.
