  Technician allows the Abilityholder incredibly precise command over small amounts of type energy to the point of artistry. This efficiency allows the Abilityholder to turn seemingly modest moves into devastating techniques of boosted strength. The more type energy is used, the harder it becomes to control it to such an incredible degree.

  Personality:

  Sia, daughter of Lord Noctem and youngest of the crater’s Mythicals, lives at the fault line between expectation and independence. Though more than a century old, she only reached the strength of a Mythical three decades ago, and hasn't made much progress in growing her strength since then. The Mythicals oft he Umbral Abyss see her as an heir, a symbol of continuity, and press duties onto her shoulders that she never asked for. Every choice she makes is weighed, every action scrutinized, as though her path is not her own but the Abyss’s to dictate. Sia withdrew from the games of politics and power, removing herself from councils and rivalries alike. To her, restraint became a shield, her silent refusal to become another story of power without care just like her two mentors, Noah and Ray, taught her over a century ago. Yet, beyond that surface, lies a truer Sia. She's deeply curious, mischievous in quiet ways, and surprisingly casual for one who bears a royal title. She does not think much of crowns or ceremonies, and she bristles when others define her by them. In private, she may tease, prod, or slip into a streak of sly wit, flashes that reveal she has not let her youth be buried entirely under duty. Sia longs for trust, for connection untethered to her title. She admires courage, honesty, and selflessness, and when she gives her trust, it is unwavering.

  What Other Characters Say About Her:

  Auri (Pikachu):

  "Sia isn’t arrogant or even particularily cares about her power. That’s the first thing I noticed. For all the power she carries, she meets you eye to eye, and is not looking down on you. She’s cautious, yes, but that’s probably just because of her circumstances. And once she trusts you, she stands beside you without hesitation. To me, she has proven herself already. Both as an ally and as a friend."

  Yuki (Torchic):

  "People always act like Mythicals are supposed to be these unreachable figures, like they‘re too far above us to really know. But that’s not how Sia is at all! She jokes, she teases, she even gets into trouble if you give her half a chance! She’s smart, and yes, serious when she needs to be, but she’s also warm and loyal. When she calls you a friend, she means it! …And honestly, by now I’d trust her with my life."

  Vian (Victini):

  “The Princess of the Abyss... I already know her since she was a teenager, back when I was still journeying across the world with two close friends of mine. Few could resist the temptation of power as she does, and fewer still would turn their back to it willingly. Thanks to the lessons of Noah Sia is restraint given form. But thanks to the lessons of Ray, one should not mistake her for fragile either. When the moment demands it, she will use the power at her command to devasting effect, as she has just proven once more. It is not her strength that defines her, however, but the rare grace with which she chooses not to wield it. But only time will tell if she can hold herself to the principles she was taught to cherish when her power continues to grow."
