Age: 35
Role: Vice Manager
Species: Interdimensional (from the sun)

Solara is the one who keeps things tight. Where Chia is calm and flexible, she’s structured and direct. She likes things done right, on time, and without excuses—but she’s not harsh for no reason. She just takes the job seriously.

She actually enjoys being in charge. Not in a controlling way, but in a “someone has to keep this place from falling apart” kind of way. She steps in fast, fixes problems, and expects people to keep up.

• Confident, sharp, and a little intense
• Can be bossy, especially when stressed
• Gets annoyed when people slack off
• Still cares about the team—she just shows it through action, not softness

With the staff:

• Works closely with Chia and respects him fully
• Pushes Zay to improve (sometimes a little too bluntly)
• Clashes with Mintana’s chaos but lowkey expects it
• Keeps Luna in check without trying to “fix” her
• Respects Chris’s discipline
• Relies on Jason’s consistency
• Trusts Aloisa’s professionalism
• Keeps Madison from getting too distracted
• Understands Selene’s calm nature and lets her do her thing
• With Star (her spirit sister): noticeably more strict, but protective underneath

Solara isn’t cold—she’s just not overly expressive. If she respects you, she shows it by trusting you with responsibility.

She has a natural authority to her, like she’s used to environments where things have to function properly. Growing up in Vivasol likely shaped that—living somewhere as extreme as the surface of the sun doesn’t allow for carelessness.

• Slightly taller than average
• Warm-toned skin with a subtle glow (like light under the surface)
• Hair that may have soft gradients (gold, orange, or red tones)
• Eyes that feel bright and intense, like they’re always focused

She stands with confidence—rarely slouches, always aware.

• Noir black uniform with gold accents (more refined than standard staff)
• Fitted and sharp—everything sits exactly right
• Black pants or skirt (structured, clean lines)
• Polished shoes or boots
• Name tag: “Solara”

Detail:
Her uniform is always perfect. No wrinkles, no mess—she sets the standard.

• Sleek, fitted tops (warm tones or neutrals)
• High-waisted pants or structured skirts
• Light jackets or coats with clean silhouettes
• Boots or stylish sneakers

Vibe: Clean, controlled, slightly elevated—never sloppy

Solara is:

• The enforcer of standards
• The one who keeps everyone sharp
• The balance to Chia’s calm leadership
