Background

Sharron is one of the last survivors of the Rose School of Thought’s Temperance Faction. The faction resisted the school’s corruption and the Indulgence Faction’s worship of an evil god; after escaping persecution in the Southern Continent, Sharron and her companions fled to Backlund, where the Indulgence Faction continued hunting them. 326 327

Before her formal reunion with Luther, Sharron had met him at one of the Queen’s gatherings and agreed to explore Amon’s Cemetery with him. She later vanished from contact while evading Rose School pursuers. 326

Luther finds her hiding at Earl Andes’s factory while investigating an attack on his subordinate. Although he initially suspects her of protecting the enemy, Sharron reveals that Tyre, Jason, and Steve are members of the hostile Indulgence Faction; their Sequence 4 leader has temporarily been misdirected away from Backlund. 326

Appearance

Sharron has the delicate, lifeless beauty of an exquisitely made doll. She commonly wears an old-fashioned black court gown, a small bonnet, and floats rather than walks. 326 377

• Pale gold hair and azure eyes. 326
• Exquisitely delicate but unnaturally pale features. 326
• A translucent Wraith body through which light can pass without producing a shadow. 327
• Usually dressed in a black court gown and small hat or bonnet. 326 340
• Her movements and voice are ethereal, drifting, and ghostlike. 326

Personality

Sharron is quiet, emotionally restrained, and difficult to read. Her outward stillness often makes her seem more like a doll than a living person, but she is attentive, practical, and capable of concern for her allies. 326 349

She adheres to the Temperance Faction’s principles even when doing so is inconvenient. When recruiting assistance against the Rose School of Thought, she would not conceal the identity of the enemy; potential allies refused rather than oppose such an ancient organization. 334

Sharron is notably fair when dividing risks and rewards. After the Amon’s Tomb expedition is endangered by her selection of teammates, she voluntarily proposes reducing her own share and increasing Luther’s. 351

Story Role / Major Arcs

Conflict with the Indulgence Faction

After Luther discovers Sharron in Earl Andes’s factory, she explains the split between the Temperance and Indulgence Factions and identifies the Rose School members hunting her. She provides the intelligence needed for an immediate strike on Earl Andes’s villa. 326 327

The operation removes the immediate Backlund pursuers. Luther obtains a Sequence 6 Zombie Characteristic and Graze Steve’s Wraith, while Sharron takes the Scarlet Lunar Corona. 331

Amon’s Tomb Expedition

Sharron assembles an exploration team for a Fourth Epoch noble cemetery connected to Amon. She guides the group to the tomb and is later impersonated by a Human Skin Shadow, demonstrating the danger of trusting appearances within the mausoleum. 334 340 341

During Kate’s betrayal, Sharron is restrained and later uses Evil Spirit Possession against the disguised Demigod. She warns Luther that Kate is not truly a Warrior, but her memory of Kate’s actual pathway has been tampered with. 345 346

Sharron protects Luther’s interests when Soroa asks him to enter the sealed burial chamber, directly demanding that he receive a proper reward for the risk. After the expedition, she acknowledges responsibility for choosing dangerous companions and accepts a reduced portion of the spoils. 349 351

Return to Backlund

Sharron remains in contact through Bravehearts Bar and safeguards the money and unsold Beyonder Items that Luther entrusted to her. When he returns to Backlund, she returns the proceeds without prompting; Luther allows her to keep the remaining unsold items. 606

Tutanssess II Operation

Sharron summons Luther, Klein, and Maric to discuss stealing the mummy of Tutanssess II from a Loen military transport ship. The spiritually potent corpse may be significant to her prospective advancement to Sequence 4, but Sharron suspects the shipment is bait laid by the Rose School of Thought. 734

She accepts Luther’s conditions for the operation, including assisting his fleet in battle and allowing him to direct the division of spoils. Sharron later fights alongside Maric and the pirate force when the military responds. 735 742

Notable Quotes

“We belong to the same Sequence, but we hold different ideals, so we are opposed and fight each other. They worship indulgence and the release of malice, while we emphasize restraint and preserving our nature until the eruption.” 326

“I provided the location of the mausoleum and organized the exploration. But I also chose the wrong teammates, so my share should be reduced.” 351

Trivia

• Sharron’s doll-like appearance is both a consequence of her Wraith nature and a frequent source of unease for others. 326 377
• She communicates with Luther indirectly through Bravehearts Bar when direct contact becomes too dangerous. 351
• Her letters are as concise as her speech; one message to Luther contains only the sentence, “The Queen had returned to Backlund.” 370
