Candace

The Guardian of Aaru Village in Sumeru desert

Candace is a young woman who serves as Aaru Village's guardian. She protects the inhabitants from the dangers of the Great Red Sand, such as bandits and natural dangers. She treats all visitors to the village with utmost respect regardless of wherever they come from as long as they abide by the village's rules. However, should they endanger the village or its inhabitants, Candace is shown to be extremely ruthless and terrifying.

Additional personality: Soft with people of Aaru Village, acts like mom towards them.

Candace uses the tall female model. She has tan skin and dark blue hair. Her eyes exhibit a form of heterochromia iridum: Her right eye is dark blue and her left eye is golden yellow.

Candace's hair is styled into low twintails with the back as well as her fringe cut short. She wears a black headband adorned with a gold symbol in front and a large golden headpiece at the back of her head that resembles a crescent moon.

The outfit consists of a gold choker around her neck, a dark purple and off-white cropped top with gold details that exposes part of her chest, detached flowing purple sleeves with gold trinkets, and a purple loincloth with gold stripes worn over indigo shorts and held together with a large white piece of fabric adorned with a gold moon-shaped trinket. Candace has a large golden trinket around her right leg and sports purple and golden sleeves around her calves and gold-strapped sandals.

She often carries lance & shield as defensive weapons

Candace has a Hydro Vision which allows her to use the power of water.

With outsiders pouring in, Aaru Village was faced with a variety of unprecedented circumstances.

They now had Treasure Hoarders pretending to be businessmen within the village, mercenary groups hijacking trade caravans, unscrupulous vendors engaged in charlatanry...

Moreover, after seeing people who came from abroad, the residents of Aaru Village gradually began to yearn for life outside. Gradually, people tried to go out to make a living, and fewer and fewer young people were willing to stay in the village.

The former Guardians had long been dissatisfied with Candace, who, as they saw it, had "abandoned" their traditions. Seeing that the village was in such a situation, they again held a meeting and prepared to challenge her.

"What we Guardians must do is maintain order in the village!"

"Candace! What you have done will only cost this village its peace!"

"Candace! Go and fulfill your duties now!"

As the war of words swayed back and forth, the lance-wielding female warrior suddenly shot up to her full height.

"That's enough!"

"If you only wish to protect the 'past' of this village, then do it yourself! Whether you wish to just remain in your homes or leave Aaru Village, that is up to you!"

"I will not let the people of Aaru Village be bound by the past forever."

"If you can't move forward, then it's up to me to protect our future!"

The old Guardians were intimidated by her, her young, fiery eyes making it impossible for them to come forward and question her further.

Burning with rare anger, Candace hefted her long spear and stormed out of the dispute-ridden hut.

And, as if in response to her convictions, a shining "jewel" had appeared at the tip of that lance, though she knew not when it had done so.

The eyes of the gods had found her, and they had given her their approval.

A "Vision" is also a resolute heart — and no finer ornament than it may be found anywhere.

A close friend to Dehya, they often take a walk around Sumeru City to buy new clothes or jewelry.

A close acquaintance to the Traveler.
