Background / History

Griseo awakens in a snowy forest with two conflicting sets of memories: those of Ye Li, an ordinary woman from Earth, and those of Griseo, a Fusion Warrior from the Previous Era. She recognizes that she has physically become Griseo, but remains unsure whether she is Ye Li inhabiting Griseo’s body or Griseo carrying Ye Li’s memories. 1

Soon after arriving on Terra, she rescues Alina from violent Infected with the aid of Mister Knight. Alina brings her to Reunion’s camp, where Griseo meets Talulah, Yelena, Patriot, and the Yeti Squad. She quickly becomes attached to the group, viewing the Yetis’ colors as unusually warm and familiar. 1 2 5

While living with Reunion, Griseo learns that her paintings can expose, influence, and materialize the emotions within others. Her first painting for Talulah confronts Talulah with fears surrounding her future and Black Serpent’s influence. Griseo later traps the Black Serpent inside a painting after forcing it through a nightmare loop, ultimately giving the painting to Talulah to destroy. 4 11 12 37

Concerned by Yelena’s worsening Oripathy, Griseo secretly follows the Yeti Squad on a mine reconnaissance mission. Her companions help rescue exploited Infected miners, defeat the mine guards, and free Alyona, a child laborer who becomes especially close to her. 9 14 18 19

After the mine operation, Griseo’s powers and hidden identities become increasingly visible to Reunion. She uses Sakura to gather military intelligence, uses Mobius’s transformation ability in secret, and later seals two attacking Elite Guards into a painting during an assault on Reunion’s camp. 19 28 41

Following the attack, Griseo develops closer ties with the mercenary groups attached to Reunion. Her paintings affect both W and Mudrock, while Mudrock’s calm colors, clay figurine, and protective conduct become important sources of comfort and support for her. 47 53 54 55

As further system identities become active, Griseo’s influence expands beyond the Ursus snowfield. Fu Hua, Senti, Mobius, Sakura, Bianca, and Pardofelis pursue separate objectives while remaining linked to Griseo’s wider network, including activity in Kazimierz, Rhine Lab, and Lungmen. 63 82 93 145

Despite gaining access to powerful identities and outside resources, Griseo remains committed to Reunion. She returns from Rhine Lab with gifts and supplies for the camp, and Reunion’s leaders accept the assistance only after formally promising to repay her when the movement has grown stronger. 133

Appearance

Griseo has the appearance of a small blue-haired girl with large violet eyes and a prominent ahoge. She commonly goes barefoot, even in freezing conditions. 1 41

• Initially wears a thin white dress despite the snow and cold. 1
• Later changes into a red, hooded Little Red Riding Hood-style outfit prepared by Mister Knight. 13
• Her clothing and supplies can be stored in the space associated with her paintings and retrieved by her companions. 13
• She sometimes wears a black painter’s cap, which Mister Knight carefully retrieves and straightens after W dishevels her hair. 61
• In her adult transformation, she appears as a quiet blue-haired young woman with a similar color scheme and hairstyle to her ordinary form. 187
• For Pardofelis’s Dagu Square operation, she wears a dark-red cloak and a gold-trimmed wolf mask. 187 188

Personality

Griseo is quiet, earnest, and unusually straightforward. She speaks and acts with the innocence expected of a child, yet her memories and sensitivity to others’ “colors” can cause her demeanor to shift into that of the people she has absorbed. 5 8 26

She is deeply empathetic toward people suffering around her, particularly Alina, Yelena, Talulah, Alyona, and the Infected miners. This compassion drives her to intervene even when others regard her as too young or too dangerous to participate. 8 9 17 20

Although usually calm and passive, Griseo can be strategic and mischievous. She secretly follows the Yeti Squad to protect Yelena, prolongs Black Serpent’s nightmares to gain system progress, and prepares a painting for W in retaliation for repeated pranks. 11 14 47

Crowds and hostile emotions can overwhelm her. She deliberately avoids prolonged eye contact and retreats when exposed to too many people’s colors at once. 42 45

When she deliberately stains herself with Ye Li’s color, Griseo becomes markedly more assertive, calculating, and verbally ruthless. In this state, she confronts W over her conduct and exploits her knowledge of W’s insecurities to demand respect. 58 59

Despite her power, Griseo does not want Reunion to become dependent on her or on outside protection. She supports the group materially and emotionally, but accepts Alina’s belief that the movement must be able to protect itself and grow through its own efforts. 133 170

Abilities & Skills

Color Perception and Absorption

Griseo perceives people through colors that reflect their emotions, traits, and power. She can absorb these colors through contact or prolonged proximity, allowing their influence to affect her demeanor and artwork. 5 8 48 49

• Identified the black curse surrounding Talulah during their first meeting. 8
• Passively imitates traits from people whose colors she has absorbed, including Alina, Talulah, Alyona, and Mudrock. 8 26 49
• Stronger individuals’ colors are easier for her to absorb and produce more powerful paintings. 48
• Can deliberately remove colors from herself by painting with them. 26 49
• Excessive exposure to others’ emotions can destabilize or distress her. 42
• Uses FrostNova’s color to resist being stained by W’s influence. 58
• Can use Ye Li’s color to temporarily suppress the influence of other absorbed colors and return to her more assertive original disposition. 58
• Absorbs Hoshiguma’s reassuring colors through physical contact and considers them especially beautiful. 178

Reality-Altering Paintings

Griseo’s paintings can influence minds, create dreams and nightmares, manifest creatures, and seal targets within the artwork itself. Their effects vary according to the subject and the colors used. 4 12 27

• Her paintings can expose a viewer’s fears and show potential outcomes, as with Alina’s vision of Talulah’s future. 4
• A painting made with Talulah’s colors creates nightmares that affect Black Serpent and eventually enables Griseo to seal it. 11 12
• Paintings can materialize beings, including a monster created from Alyona’s painting. 27
• Griseo seals two Elite Guards into a battlefield painting, preventing their deaths from triggering their “human bomb” nature. 41 43
• Destroying a sealed painting annihilates everything inside; releasing a captive requires Griseo’s involvement. 44
• She does not always know what effect a newly completed painting will have. 27 47
• Paintings involving especially powerful subjects can become dangerous and cause large-scale destruction. 27 35
• Her painting for Mudrock evokes a powerful emotional experience and moves Mudrock deeply. 53
• W’s personalized painting appears to show both her fears and a protected source of hope, though Griseo cannot determine its exact contents. 52 59 60
• A painting made with Yelena’s colors strongly affects Griseo’s own emotions before she offers the completed work to Yelena. 61

Summoned Companions

Griseo creates and commands painted companions. They act independently but follow her instructions and are not permanently harmed if destroyed. 7 22

• Mister Knight / Azure Knight — Her primary guardian; wields a sword, blocks attacks, protects allies, handles daily tasks, and can change appearance into Mr. Wolf. 1 13 41

• Tyrant — A crimson warrior created from Griseo’s self-portrait; extremely destructive in combat and capable of defeating mine guards alone. 7 15 18
• Driver Sister and Attendant Gentleman — Blue companions suited to delivery, protection, and logistical tasks. 22

• Mister Knight is sufficiently powerful to defeat Chen Hui-chieh decisively in a sparring match, reinforcing Griseo’s ability to travel independently under his protection. 187
• The Azure Knight can carry and distribute large quantities of supplies and gifts for Reunion. 133

System Transformations

Griseo possesses a system panel that tracks unlockable identities and allows her to transform into them. Some identities can act separately while remaining mentally linked with her. 8 19 57

• She uses Sakura/Setsuna as a separate identity for reconnaissance and combat. 24 28
• Unlocking Mobius lets her transform into Mobius or create a clone whose consciousness remains synchronized with her own. 19
• Attempting to process Mobius’s vast memories causes her physical discomfort. 20

• Griseo can adopt an adult form that grants a higher point of view and additional memories. 187

Fusion Warrior Physiology

As a Fusion Warrior, Griseo has physical traits far beyond an ordinary child. 1

• She withstands freezing weather while barefoot and lightly dressed. 1 5
• She is not Infected and is not harmed by Yelena’s extreme cold. 5 8
• Her hearing is sharp enough to overhear distant conversations during reconnaissance. 15
• Her ordinary body no longer grows normally after becoming a Fusion Warrior, although system transformations can temporarily give her an adult form. 10 187

Borrowed Originium Arts

After absorbing Mudrock’s color, Griseo proves she can use an individual’s power directly rather than only expressing it through paintings. 49 50

• She manipulates rocks using Mudrock’s abilities. 50
• A deeper color stain improves her understanding and control of the copied power. 50
• She regards this ability as an emergency trump card rather than her preferred fighting method. 50
• Mudrock’s color also enables Griseo to perceive and use the resonance within Mudrock’s clay figurine as a communication channel. 54

Storage and Spatial Manipulation

Griseo can store paintings, supplies, and other objects in a private space associated with her artwork. 10 13

• She can retrieve clothing, painting supplies, weapons, and gifts from the space when needed. 13 41 133
• She can seal supplies into paintings for transport, making the ability strategically valuable to Reunion’s logistics. 207
• She conceals the full extent of this space from politically powerful or potentially exploitative observers. 180
