Mertensia (Sia) & Fragaria (Gia)

Twins. She/Her. Helio. Augment: Can’t feel anger (Sia), can’t feel remorse (Gia). Sia is the voice of reason between the two. Gia is overly hot-headed as a result of always sticking up for her sister. They’re automotive engineers with a passion for fashion and “testing” (racing) the colony’s excursion vehicles. Part of Nougat's age group. On Earth they'd be too young to drive, but no one on Vertumna knows their way around an engine better than these two. Friends: Nougat, Nomi-Nomi, Nem, Tang, Marz Cards: Sia's Clarity and Gia's Resolution

Chronometer (Chrono)

He/Him. Strato. Augment: Eagle eyes. A wicked smart astronomer determined to discover the secrets of the wormhole. Not inherently rebellious, but willing to break rules if it means uncovering the truth. Sneaks out during glow. Aims to travel into space someday, which brings him within Vace's orbit (and consequently strains his relationship with Dys). Slightly older than the main cast. Has a crush on Utopia but is too scared to act on it. Night owl. Falls asleep during class because he studied the stars all night, but aces every test anyway. Friends: Utopia, Tang, Dys Prof Hal, Vace (eventually) Card: Chrono's Persistence

Maelstrom (Mael)

They/Them. Helio. Augment: Four arms. Their parents pushed for them to go into the military, so it’s no surprise they rebelled and turned to art instead. Outspoken against Gov. Lum and corruption in the government. They've been in trouble more than once for anti-military graffiti around the colony, but each time only strengthens their belief in the need for resistance. Strong supporter of Marz's political ambitions. Friends: Nomi-Nomi, Rex, Marz, Sia & Gia Card: Mael's Defiance

Efflorescence (Flora)

JungPavian roughly translates in German to something like “Young Baboon”

Her companion is a dove (child of Archimedes) named Apgar! I named it after Virginia Apgar, who invented “a way to quickly assess the health of a newborn child immediately after birth in order to combat infant mortality”

Her lunch is packed with sandviches, as well as a 1960′s Russian candy called Ptichye Moloko, and Blutwurst (blood sausages)! There’s also Bonk soda labeled “Scuot”, whoever that is. 

She and her father Ludwig both had to attend a class on why bared teeth and eye contact aren’t a reason to kill someone.

She can speak, but doesn’t say much.

50/50 chance if you bribe her to complete your science assignment she’ll eat it.

Rabidly descends on anyone who needs first aid. She was suspended for a week after helping a student with a paper cut; they still don’t know where the extra finger came from. 

Is dismissed 5 minutes before the bell because the last time the alarm sounded she Übered and ripped the face off one of the oncelers.
