Age: 21+
Current Characters: n/a
Character Name: Echo
Character Canon: Pandora Hearts
Canon Point: After Retrace 98
Age: 16 (appears/self-identifies), actual age unknown but less than that
Crime: Desertion
Background: Canon history. From her time indeercountry, she's experienced living without Noise and having her life based around her own decisions and wants. Echo got to spend more time with Oz so she thinks she understands their relationship (she doesn't), but he went through some awful stuff right before he left that she blames herself for which is still a distressing issue for her. She also spent more time with Ada, Break, and Alice from her canon, the latter two allowing her to see other sides of them and get past her dislike from her past experiences. Echo has gotten more comfortable with reaching out to people and formed relationships with several others who were not from her world, many of whom tried to help her understand things about her feelings and dealing with relationships when she had questions about them. She's had a goal of figuring out how to make friends because she thinks she hasn't done that yet apart from Oz.
Personality: Echo's personality is built from her intrinsic loyalty and supportiveness. She was created to be Noise's guardian, which she upheld literally until the end in spite of the abuse Noise put her through. This is not just limited to her body-mate. Echo tried to protect Ada when Noise was attempting to torture her, and she also wanted to go along with Oz when he had to run for his life after his role in Jack's plan was revealed. Of course, she was also very dutiful in her other job as Vincent's servant. That was not something Echo actually did of her own will, but because she felt she had no choice because she was not an actual person. Even though she recognizes herself as actually existing in the end, her self-worth is still on the low side. After this realization she still sacrifices herself to protect Noise, saying that it doesn't matter if she disappears from doing this.
Her initial belief that she was just a throwaway personality also had a substantial effect on her emotionally. Echo is very repressed about her feelings. One reason for this is because she didn't think she was allowed to have them, and as such wasn't allowed to object to the horrible things Vincent did to her such as abuse, sexual harassment, and torture. Echo just went along with everything he told her to do, leading to the impression that she was his doll who only did his bidding. With her very limited purpose and these conditions, she was not given the opportunity to learn what some of these feelings even were in the first place, particularly the more positive ones. It was only when she met Oz that she realized she was capable of having (and, in fact, had) feelings, and he also opened her up to being able to do things like being happy.
Echo was so receptive to learning about herself because she is very curious. She keeps a diary that is really just a journal of various things she sees or hears that she finds interesting. Part of her reason for being compelled to keep it was the knowledge that she was meant to vanish without leaving any trace, but she also states that she wants to know and understand everything. This, as well as her work guarding Noise and Vincent, has led to her being very observant. She was able to spot the danger and pull Alice out of the way when B-Rabbit's power was going out of control. She is also good at being able to judge what a person is likely to do since she can look at things emotionlessly, which is mostly helpful when she is in battle or doing surveillance work.
All this mixes into another problem for her: Echo is overly objective. Her response to the very first thing that made her happy, a fireworks show, was to specifically describe how they work. When she bickered with Alice over the way the other girl treated Oz and got asked why she even cared, Echo thought it was because he was the master of Vincent's beloved brother. While her death protecting Noise because it was what she wanted to do shows some improvement on this, Echo also couldn't figure out why Oz was crying over her as she was dying, so she's far from any regular subjectivity just yet.
Abilities: Echo is in the body of a Baskerville, which means she has superhuman physical stamina and endurance. This not only includes being able to run at high speed for long amounts of time, jumping impressively high, and the ability to do gymnastic-like battle moves, but also means she can be perfectly still and quiet for hours at a time and maintain her focus. Her body also has healing powers and can do so quickly quickly, including from very serious injuries. Most wounds that would usually prove fatal incapacitate her for a while at worst, but regrowing a limb or head is not possible.
Inventory: Her regular outfit, her twin short swords, her journal, a pencil, and her communication device from Trench which will be useless here.
