"Reflections unto a Mirror"

A 512 x 512 Artwork of a TMA OC known as "Ani".

Ani - a light skinned female - is to the right of the artwork, with glowing green eyes and shoulder length brown hair blowing to the left in the implied breeze. She is dressed in a dark green tailcoat with a high collar sitting on her neck, with a gold pendant in the collar's centre. There are three golden buttons going down the middle of the trenchcoat, with the third button open to reveal the white undershirt. The art cuts off just underneath her upper torso. She smirks like the little shit she is.

Besides being illuminated by a crown of Beholding eyes behind her head, there is nothing more to the art than the stylistic blue-to-green shading on its background, and an obvious watermark/signature.

I'm gonna be brave and do an Oc reveal for my TMA AUs. This OC hasn't appeared or been mentioned in any of my AO3 fics (and probably won't for a bit), but she's extremely relevant to it all.

Introducing... "Ani", the Memory-Impaired (Interim) Head Archivist of the Magnus Institute (as of 2016)!

A 1920 x 1080 character sheet for my TMA OC "Ani".

"Ani" - a light skinned female - is to the left, with shoulder length brown hair that blows to the left in the implied breeze and glowing green eyes. She is wearing a long dark green tailcoat with a high collar adorned by a golden pendant. There are seven gold buttons lining the tailcoats centre, with the third to seventh unbuttoned, revealing her white undershirt. Below her gold buckled leather belt is a set of dark brown pants and lighter brown boots, tied thrice over with a very slight heel in the back. She smirks knowing that she is the biggest pain in the neck of anyone who meets her.

Besides the glow of a Beholding eyes halo, there is a bunch of information repeated mostly below;

Role: (Interim) Head of the Magnus Institute, ??? (in royal blue)

"Entity Data"
Main Path: The Eye
Sub Paths: The Spiral, The Desolation (via sword), The Vast (via pendant & "Hoshiko")
Pre-Institute Marks: ??? (in royal blue), The End

"Other Facts"
Age: Early 20s (15th July 2003 1995 ~ 1998)
Country of Origin: Australia
Ethnicity: Irish ("Aussie Flavoured"), ???
Important Information: There is no records of her existence prior to 2015. She herself does not properly remember a Pre-2015 world. (She will passively recall something at random, but tends to forget it a few seconds later if not prompted.)

There is also a bisexual & asexual flag in the top right of the art, and her "Song of the Soul" explained in below text.

Introduction

"Ani" (the only name she remembers) quite literally appears in the Dalton household out of nowhere one sunny January, just a week after the People's Church of the Divine Host tried to complete their Extinguished Sun ritual. Despite this, she only has a marking of The End from her exposure to the Dalton stronghold, and an unknown Marking that not even Simone can decipher.

Very few things are gleaned from trying to Compel her, amongst those being that she's Australian, she thinks she's either 21 or 23 and, of course, her assumed name. Everything else she is forced to discover over her year-and-a-half apprenticeship under Archivist Quinn, and afterwards when she is forced to assume the Interim position due to lack of willingness from her co-workers.

(More info under the read more, I get my message is big lol)

Paths

"Ani" falls to The Eye as a result of her persistent internal voice nagging her that she has forgotten something extremely important, and her fears that the reason she has no memories now is because someone entrusted her with a dangerous piece of knowledge. It also triggers due to [Spoilers], but we're focusing on the main reason. Her abilities are mostly focused around finding the truth to a situation or to expand her understanding, giving her...

Statement Syncing/Taking (typical)

Compulsion

Knowing (+Translation)

Telekinesis/Levitation (learnt)

Dream Walking (learnt).

Her Spiral sub-path - the only one not granted via a weapon or Leitner - comes to her as naturally as breathing once she meets and makes a few deals with The Distortion (wearing the face of Emma Harvey), granting her...

Impossible Navigation (cannot get lost in domains lmao)

Short-Range Teleportation (learnt)

"Song of the Soul"

A term coined by Edalyn Gleave prior to her death, it stands for 'a song that you would live and die to, a song that fuels your every move when you cannot move anymore'. Hunters trained under Edalyn were typically ones posed this question, but the Institute begun taking up the idea too when the Thundering Strings started getting too confident.

"Ani" claimed her song was "Navigating" by Twenty One Pilots, but the song does not exist (yet). Thus, she hunts for a new song, and eventually finds herself resonating close enough with "What My Scene?" by Hoodoo Gurus due to her unfamiliarity with her place in the world, and her desperation to clutch to her homeland and its music.

"Try" by P!nk does seem familiarly powerful to her, but she can never bring herself to call it her "Song of the Soul"... more 'the old tune to a life I used to lead' (no one prompted her so she forgot that line afterwards lol)

Other

Jesus I yap alot...

If you wish to see more of her or of others in her era of the Archives, please let me know! I do plan to do more eyes, but I also want to draw the people in my AO3 fics... maybe. We're trying. Simone's a high priority.
