Other Characters: N/A

Name: Cornet Espoir
From: Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure
Appearance: jeebus this picture is huge
Age: 16~!
Gender: Female! ...Very female.
Personality: Cornet is, to be frank, a bit dense. She's a fine conversationalist, sure - but she is very prone to just not get things, or completely misunderstand. Despite this she's a kind and well meaning person who more often than not bungles into successes just as much as she bungles into trouble. She very much acts her age, though, with the occasional whiny or emotional outburst. Cornet also has a little something I like to call 'Cutscene Disease,' where when faced with other people's dramatic travails, she meekly stands off to the side (perhaps making snarky comments to herself) and watches unless something causes her to be directly involved. She's pretty easy to boss around, though there is a point where she'll get sick of the prodding and snap at you. She also tends to space out, often not paying attention at all when people think she's being a good listener.

For a jRPG orphan, she's surprisingly un-angsty about the whole orphan thing.

Since she's from a light hearted NIS game, expect the usual general wackiness and pop culture references. And sometimes she breaks out in song.

Backstory: TL;DR: The prince gets turned to stone, and a girl who is totally swoony over him goes on an adventure across the kingdom to save him. The twist is they sing. Lots.

Expanded version:: The orphaned Cornet lives a normal life with her grandfather Mustaki and her flying talking puppet pal Kururu. Then one day, during an errand to the nearby forest, she encounters a (literally) catty witch who sicks a dragon on her. The dragon is promptly slayed by a well-timed prince, and like any impressionable teenage girl Cornet decides the prince is her true wuv. Before she can so much as declare her name, let alone her undying devotion, the prince runs off. So starts her quest to see him again. To that end she enters the Miss Marl contest, an annual pageant that's been won two years running by Cornet's snobby frenemy Etoile Rosenqueen. This year the ante has been upped, you see - since he's turning legal a few days from now, the winner will be a candidate to marry the prince.

Contest shenanigans (involving a giant plush bear, machine guns, and lots of singing) ensue, then Etoile and Cornet are both declared the winner. Cornet gets to dance with the prince at his birthday, and all seems well until the witch from before busts down a wall with a bigger dragon. The cat witch is apparently a member of the infamous Marjoly Family, and Marjoly herself is keen on getting revenge for the dragon slaying until she sees the prince and does that thing where the villain decides the love interest is THEIR love interest too, then accidentally turns him to stone in her excitement.

Cue Cornet's adventure across the kingdom, where she befriends puppets, collects magic rocks, royally messes up a lot of things, and happily resolves a good amount of subplots. Shortly after she collected all of the HEARTSTONES, Kururu turns into a pimped out angel form to save Cornet from a boss fight she wouldn't have lost if it wasn't predestined so because this game's difficulty is a joke. Cornet does not see this, but she does see Kururu's subsequently weakened state. Then the obligatory wise sage guy insists Cornet and her frenemy (who recently decided to jump back on the plot train) enter Kururu's fever dream... somehow. In the dream Cornet meets her dead mom, then later realizes that her snarky puppet friend is animated by said dead mother's soul after an emotionally charged cutscene. This works because Cornet's mom is an angel...person...thing. Cornet says absolutely nothing about this to Kururu, and makes sage guy and Etoile swear not to, either.

After surreptitiously completing about fifty sidequests Cornet finally gets in gear and uses the warp to Marjoly's castle. She then wanders through it forEVER because dungeon layouts in this game could make roguelike players cry. ...Then she ends up in a roleplay because it's sort of awkward to RP her post ending, since she gets the guy, has a kid, and there's a slew of untranslated sequels.

Moral Standing: Good.
Dreams: To marry/save Prince Ferdinand from the wicked witch Marjoly! 
Fears: Toads. Along with some typical teenage insecurities.
Extra: She talks to puppets. And 'puppets' are very loosely defined - from toy eggs to reanimated frogs (ugh) to Spawn expies, so you can see Cornet's weird inanimate object talking thing is very versatile. She also has a ~magic trumpet~ that is basically made of deus ex machina and sparkles. Also, wishes.
Samples:  You must be... We can do this!
