Jewel

Jewel Iridea is a main character in Emphara.

Summary
Jewel is a scientist from the planet of Venesa who worked in a joint scientific venture with the Mieins. She devoted years of study to this project, as her curiosity drew her in deeper and deeper. This was more than a pet project, however. The Mieins believed that it could change the fate of the galaxy. This project was so important that Jewel was eventually sent to the Orgueilleux High Prison due to how sensitive of a project it was. Despite the fact that Mieins considered the project to be of a higher priority than their alliance with the Venians, they still made sure to cover up her imprisonment, lying to the Venian government about what her actual crimes were.

Personality
Jewel is very determined. Once she sets her mind to something, she refuses to give up on it. She considers giving up to be a sign of weakness, so abandoning one of her goals is a last resort for her. She is quite introverted, though I wouldn't say that she's necessarily shy. She's not a big fan of small-talk, unless the conversation is about one of her hobbies.

Relationships
During the first years of her studies, Jewel discovered "Dee" in an archeological site involved with her project. Jewel allowed herself to bond with Dee, originally out of her curiosity. However despite it originally being a work relationship, the two eventually became close friends--though you may not get Jewel to say that out loud. She gave Dee both her name, finding "Specimen Ten" to be a rather awkward calling card. She also gave Dee her surname "Orchid".
