Piera is a native of the 13th

When Avi’li was recruited by the Lemures, his morbid curiosity about the process of becoming a Reaper led him forging a pact with a being of the Void; the being he met was Piera

When they met she was weak and resentful, but accepted her lot as it was simply the way of the Void to find yourself in the service of another if you are too weak to stand on your own

However, Avi’li is kind and his aether sweet and dense; powerful

Genuine trust and friendship grew between them, and eventually Piera became strong enough to exert her will and possess physical objects such as a paper lantern to better spend time with Avi’li

Piera’s voidsent abilities are used to power both Avi’li’s RPR and DRK skills

After Avi’li’s ego death in Shadowbringers, Fray and Myste were reconciled and rejoined Avi’li’s psyche; though still capable of utilizing most of techniques taught by Sid, the dark root of a Dark Knight’s power was limited for Avi’li

Piera supplements Avi’li’s Dark Knight training with her own darkness tinged aether, as well as acting as his avatar companion when he wields a scythe

Piera is able to possess and manifest as physical objects, and she manifests as weapons to aid Avi’li in battle as a Dark Knight or Reaper

Meeting for the first time…

When Avi’li entered the voidgate, Piera accompanied him in her monstrous greatsword form

But when they stepped through the gate, she appeared different in the Void

Instead of the monstrous boney visage she was used to, she found herself in a body she had forgotten long ago; she looked like herself

Feeding on Avi’li’s aether had ebbed away the corrupting oppressive darkness

What is Piera like?

Centuries in the Void have jaded her to the workings of society; she believes that it’s dog eat dog and distrusts and belittles altruistic motivations

Against her better judgement she trusts Avi’li; it was hard won trust born from battle and travel

She is covetous and protective; she hates when Avi’li is physically in the Void, territorial of this wellspring of aether that helped her grow strong

As such, she regards voidsent that approach as competition and handles them with extreme prejudice; she did not like Zero at first, though she came around to a cool tolerance

Piera often follows Avi’li as a paper lantern

Have a full body pic of her because her outfit is cute:
