Revision as of 22:12, 11 June 2013

Vanessa is an antagonist and playable character from Luminous Arc, the first game in the Luminous Arc series.

Initial Appearence

CrimsonwitchV

Vanessa, Imolation Witch

Vanessa first appears during the fourth chapter of Luminous Arc. She teleported herself to the town of Carwee to claim the Water Lapistier. She ended up appearing nearby where Sir Heath and the Garden Children were taking a break. After appearing, she was quickly noticed by the group and Leon asked her who she was.

Vanessa told them that they had better prepare to die, and revealed her identity as the Witch of Immolation. Sir Andre then appeared to speak to Heath, and Heath urged him to leave quickly. Lucia attempted to reason with her to no avail, and the Garden Children fought her.

Vanessa eventually lost the battle, and admitted she underestimated the group. Lucia then stepped forward to confront Vanessa and talk to her; however, Vanessa refused to listen and attacked her. Alph protected Lucia, and in the process it was revealed that he is a Rym. After this discovery, Vanessa considers it briefly before making her escape.

Vanessa remained a major antagonist throughout the game, fighting the player's group on several occasions. However, when Alph and company attacked San Reise to prevent Zehaal's resurrection Vanessa joined them, since their intentions were the same.

In Luminous Arc 2 Vanessa is the Hot Spring boss. She possessed the strongest power, and is stronger than Elicia

Background

Vanessa is the Witch Of Immolation, one of the seven Witches created by the world to fight God. She spent the majority of her early life within the confines of the Witch Village hidden in the magical forest of the Western Continent.

Not long before the events of Luminous Arc, Vanessa left the Witch Village, disagreeing with the Witch leader Claire's plan of action. Vanessa believed they should collect the Lapistier regardless of the human cost. After this plan was rejected by the other Witches, Vanessa set out on her own to collect the Lapistier.

Shortly before her first appearance in chapter 4 of Luminous Arc, Vanessa had apparently 'annihilated' the Eurus Knights. In reality, she had played a small role in their destruction, as most were killed by the failed experiment tested by the Church and the rest was saved because she "was" there, minimizing the damage. After collecting the Wind Lapistier from the fallen knights, she continued to the town of Carwee.

Personality

Vanessa is a very aggressive person. She tends to act very rashly and not listen to reason, leading to her being an antagonist for the majority of the game. Her aggressive and rash approach is comparable to fire, the element she represents as a Witch.

As well as her aggressiveness, Vanessa has a host of other glaring flaws and vices. She greatly enjoys alcohol and tends to usually drink in depression. During one chapter she is found drinking in a tavern and it is suggested by other characters that she's drinking because 'She couldn't keep a man,' implying that her attitude turned off potential suitors (although the comment was not completely sensical as most men would avoid her purely for being a Witch anyways). During an Intermission conversation with Alph, Vanessa says she is going to go have a victory drink. If the player selects the response for Alph "I'll pour!" she will point out he is underage and can 'have some milk or something'. Also she will in captions say "(Underage drinking is a crime, kids)".

Despite Vanessa's rash and aggressive nature, she also can be reasonable. In many of her Intermission conversations with Alph she acts playful and confident. Vanessa is also greatly defined by her desire for power, even after the completion of the game she bugs Theo about becoming her Rym, even though Zehaal has already been defeated.

Loudclothes2

Vanessa also dresses very revealingly, which further alludes to the "hotness" of her personality. Her large breasts are a comedic topic in many jokes contained within the game. Her choice of clothing is best described by Theo in the first chapter she appears in when he says she has some very "loud clothes".



Stats and Abilities

Vanessa using "Seduce"

Vanessa stats can be summarized as a character who focus on both physical and magical attack. All her stats except speed are very well blanced and her HP is tied with Alph, Leon, Mavi, Health and Kai for the highest in the game. Vanessa also has great JUMP stat as well.

Her moveset include of several buffing spells, fire-element magic spells and charm spell that can lure the enemy to her side. Venessa also housed Attack Block, a powerful variation of Alph's Rym Shield that can nullify three next physical attack. In comparison, her speed is low so her turn is slightly slower and Attack Block consume a lot of MP. You can either raise Vanessa speed and MP to negate this. Her Flash Drives are all fire-element can can inflict charm as well.
