Vanth is a rather calm person and often indifferent to the people surrounding her unless something unexpected or directly affecting her happens. Due to her bad past experiences with agents from the 'Non-human counter-terrorism bureau' and the police she became very distrusting of humans over time and takes quite some time getting used to strangers.

Even after getting her soul core permanently fused into her body, she was still rather introverted but began to show more interest in others, occasionally initiating conversations and beginning to develope habits and actual bonds. It is unknown if her personality would have been like this anyways or if it was because being without a core for years had an impact on her emotional development.

She has a rather indifferent, cold yet slightly soft-sounding voice.

She usually speaks in monotonous short sentences or single words, getting her intentions across but no more than that. Due to her lack of social etiquette she can come across as insensitive at times. Over the course of the story she starts showing more emotions in her words.

Vanths motivation starts out as a pure survival instinct, following who's beneficial to her and discarding who isn't. As time goes by and she forms bonds, especially after getting her core, she slowly starts to care about her allies and their goals, changing her motivation to wanting to stay with them at least until she has figured out how she feels and what she truly wants.

Chaotic/true neutral

Her reflexes are rather fast because she had to be careful in the wilderness about dangers from animals and humans alike, often having to hide quickly. After getting some training, she became decent at self defense and gained more combat abilities compared to the crude fighting style she had before.

When feeling threatened she quickly resorts to physical violence or running away, like an animal driven into a corner, even in situations that could get solved in other ways. This habit was kept even some time after she gets her core.
Also she lacks knowledge about a lot of everyday things and has no tact. This and her lack of personal bonds and trust in others caused her issues that could've been avoided otherwise.

She likes to take naps because she is often tired (the cause being her missing core), wandering around the premises and playing around with random objects. Amaya and Takeru later try getting her into crafts, teaching her how to make small potteries and other decorative stuff, which she turns out to like.

She easily zones out and seems like she's daydreaming, but she's usually just watching something like leaves falling or the waves on a pond. Due to her trust issues she didn't sleep with her back to the others in the beginning and only closed her eyes until she fell asleep from exhaustion. Also she's rather untidy, leaving things lying around everywhere as soon as she feels safe enough to not fear for them being stolen.

To feel safe, she likes to sleep in rather small spaces. After her body got healed, she started to feel drawn to anything warm and occasionally joined her father Verrier and Haiael sunbathing on top of the demon stronghold.
Some time during the story she started collecting small random stuff like pretty stones, snail and seashells or other knick-knacks, which she carries around in a small leather pouch.

She couldn't stand physical contact with humans and animals, because they felt lifeless to her, compared to her tribe members, due to them not exuding any mana she could sense. After her body was healed, she could no longer sense a persons mana and started perceiving a persons body heat more, over time making this her new measure of somebody feeling alive.

Avoids any and all humans, because she was reported multiple times and hunted down by the non-human counter terrorism bureau.

Vanth is a user of the type of magic referred to as 'void magic', which in her case first manifests in the form of a crude blade which seems to be made of a darkish glowing type of light. She later learns more intricate spells such as protective barriers, cutting waves, offensive as well as defensive spikes and magic bursts. She's also capable of her tribes teleportation magic since she was a child.

She starts out as combat inept as any modern civilian but later learns how to somewhat properly dodge and attack in close combat, though she couldn't stand her ground against an executor or soldier without her powers.

Because of elemental incompatibility due to being a hybrid, she could not receive a soul core when she was born, meaning she had unknowingly been living off of her regenerating mana day by day for over 20 years. Mana being a source of energy meant for using magic, which can temporarily run out entirely when overused. This would result in her death.
She gets her core forced into her body and held in place by sealing magic later as a temporary fix.
When Erude took possession of Vanths body this incompatibility was cured over time due to the organisms healing properties, permanently embedding the core into her body as it should be. This was noticed when an Amitoi healer checked on her body after the possession.

15th August 2295

Vanth was born to the Amitoi woman Freya and fathered by the demon man Verrier, but she never met her father due to him being banned from the village. When she was supposed to receive her light-aspected core after being born, her partly dark-aspected body rejected it and the core shattered, getting absorbed back into Erudes tree and causing her infant self to cry. Not knowing where to go from there, they went back to the village with the newborn. Despite not having a core there seemed to be no visible downsides except her being a rather quiet child and sleeping a lot. After this she grew up relatively normal in the village of the tribe, with the other members not treating her different despite her descent.
When she was around 4 years old, she heard a faint voice, which caused her to walk to the edge of the barrier and put hear ear on it to hear it better. There she felt a strong wave of mana shortly after, which caused her to get a headache and pass out. When she regained consciousness she was alone lying outside of the barrier and couldn't get back in. After walking for a bit she got tired, fell down and started crying in frustration. This caused human contruction workers from what seemed like a nearby construction site to find her and bring her to paramedics that were on-site, wondering how a child ended up so far outside of any village. After she got a check-up in a hospital and even after weeks there were no reports of her being a missing child, she was placed in an orphanage.
There she lived a rather uneventful live until she ended up on the suspect list of being non-human at 17. When she noticed she was under surveillance, she became very cautious in her everyday life, almost to the point of being paranoid. Two months of being monitored later, when someone escorted her to the school social worker's office at school one morning to talk, she got instinctively scared and backed out of the room. After injuring a student she bumped into with her void blade, causing a panic and being immobilized, the next bigger towns police took her into custody, only for her to escape again right after being let out of the police car. As soon as she felt she was no longer being pursued, she destroyed her handcuffs with her blade and kept going.
An armed agent of the governments special unit, which was already on his way, was sent after her and she ran into Akira, who went to the same high school until he graduated one year ago. He was rather fond of her back then, despite their limited interactions. Not knowing what was going on, he tried helping her to get away. After they got away unnoticed for around 30 minutes, the agent caught up to them on an abandoned railway bridge. Driven into a corner and with Vanth at gunpoint, he tried to protect her, but was shoved aside by the agent, who fired his gun at her. She deflected the bullet and slashed his arm with her void daggers, making him drop his gun, but was slightly pushed back due to the recoil. This caused her to trip over the tracks and, with nowhere to hold on to, slip off the bridge. Akira couldn't get a hold of her hand in time and she fell down into the river. They never found her body and she was considered dead. But she survived and was washed ashore further down the river. From then on she hid in the forests and nearby area, avoiding other people and travelling further away from the scene.

For the next 6 years, she lived off of eating plants, the occasional small animal and stealing from markets. This caused her to be underweight and malnourished when she was finally captured by AE153, whom she didn't recognize. His position and behavior instantly made her feel hostile towards him.

She dropped out of high school in her last year due to running from the NHCTB and later being considered dead.
