[series]: Tales of Symphonia
[character]: Marta Lualdi
[character history / background]: Marta @ the Tales of Wiki
[character abilities]: Marta is proficient in a a variety of spells, ranging from light-based to to healing to buffing. Light spells can be anything from actual light to swords or lightning. Her way of fighting is agile and graceful, making use of leaps and kicks along with strikes from her dual-blade spinner weapon.
[character personality]: On the surface, Marta is a confident individual, a total go-getter. She's sassy, stubborn, and doesn't shy away from almost any kind of topic. She won't hesitate to let someone know her opinion, whether or not it's even polite. Even in love, she's not the kind of person who'll get flustered and timid while harboring a secret crush. Instead, she'll outright declare it to the whole world—including her object of affection—whenever she can. Around others she's open and friendly, always willing to chat someone up and joke around with. She's rather considerate as well, along with just being nice. Overall, she's a warm, compassionate individual to be around, one you'd want to be your friend.
Granted, that doesn't mean she's all flowers and sunshine. While not an avid lover of conflict, she won't back down from a fight if there's no other way out of it. As she gets chased around by her father's organization, this happens unfortunately often. It's not impossible for her to hate someone either, and such people will be met with hostility. She really knows how to hold a grudge, and it can be extremely difficult for her to forgive people if they've hurt the ones she loves. In that way though, she tends to run away from problems if they concern herself—her relationship with her father is something in particular that she actually doesn't want to talk about. For her, it's something to avoid, to push back to the farthest corner of her mind, lest she wants to face changes she isn't willing to accept. After all, it's easier to avoid the issue rather than face it directly.
At other times though, she's too upfront, too direct. She had no problem telling Colette—the savior of the world—that she couldn't forgive her for letting a giant tree kill her mother. Even as she did so she knew it was an unreasonable grudge and something she should have let go, but it didn't stop her from telling Colette exactly what she felt about her for the last two years. The biggest challenge she faces, however, is when her incessant declarations of love for Emil finally pushes him over the edge and he snaps at her. To him, she had been forcing her grand fantasies onto him, never bothering to see who he really was. Her brass confidence and cheer is suddenly broken, and she's left feeling vulnerable and insecure. Underneath it all, she's really just a sensitive young woman who wants to be loved by the one she loves.
In reality though, she can be quite clingy. She depends heavily on other people. Having lost her mother at a young age, she came to rely on her father, and once he was no longer someone she could depend on she sought out Emil and came to rely on him. Marta appears as an independent young woman—and does eventually become one for real—but she has a fear that many people share: she doesn't want to be alone. It's something another person actually points out as being "weak," but while Marta never believes that depending on others can be bad, she also comes to be able to stand on her own two feet.
Marta is both your average teenage girl and a responsible adult. She's a complete romantic at heart, always supporting others' romantic endeavors, but tends to get jealous whenever another girl gets close to Emil. More often than not she's too stubborn for her own good, and while being able to voice your opinions can be good, she can get a bit out of hand with it and end up seeming rude. However, she knows how to be polite and proper when the situation calls for it. She knows what it means to take responsibility for something, even if it means her own death. It's evident that she has a bit of a self-sacrificial nature as she was willing to die to save a village and even turned herself in by herself when it seemed like she and her friends would get caught to save them. While she's not exactly book smart (in fact she never liked going to school) she shows signs of being a capable leader. She's completely capable of making decisions, even difficult ones, and knows how to listen to others while still taking charge of her own life.

[The communicator then switches to sound mode, revealing the voice of a rather irritated young woman and what sounds like countless buttons being pushed down furiously.] Tenebrae, if this is your idea of a joke, it's not funny! Honestly, dumping me in the middle of nowhere and ditching me? I thought your bad sense of humor was limited to horrible puns, but it looks like I was wrong! You must've tricked Emil into this too, he's not mean—or gutsy—enough to play a prank like this.
Ugh, I hope you're getting a good laugh at this, wherever you are... [The feed goes quiet as her voice dies down, and after a few more button pushes the video turns on. The young woman looks into the camera, albeit unknowingly, curiously before she turns the device around in her hands.]
What the heck is this thing anyways? I've never seen anything like it, not even in Meltokio.
[third person / log sample]: The night was quiet save for the crackling of the camp fire. Marta watched it with disinterest as the rest of her companions slept quietly; even Tenebrae was relaxed in front of the fire, eyes closed. They were all on the way to Meltokio, and they had about another day of traveling before reaching it.
She wasn't thinking about that though. No, she was thinking about her knight in shining armor... or her lack thereof. Emil was sleeping soundly next to her, breathing soft and even. Until just a few hours earlier, she had been so scared of talking to him, just saying his name. How couldn't she, when he had been so mad at her, and so completely right at that? She had felt so ashamed, so embarrassed at her proclamations of love when she knew nothing about him.
But now, she thought, looking at his sleeping face, now, things are different.
Things weren't the same anymore; there was no way to go back to what they had, and she was glad for that. She had almost died back in the Temple of Ice; it was pure luck that had saved her. Even if it wasn't under the best circumstances, Emil had shown true concern for her—not just exasperation or annoyance. He didn't hate her, he didn't hate her, and it still felt hard to believe.
There was no way she deserved this second chance, and she couldn't afford to mess it up. She was still scared, still terrified that he would come to hate her. There was still so much uncertainty ahead of her.
Sighing, she leaned down to brush Emil's bangs out of his face. Honestly, how could he be sleeping so calmly when she couldn't stop thinking about him? Softly, she whispered, "But at the very least, I'll use this chance to come to love you, and not some fantasy. Thank you, Emil."
