[ooc: Backdated to evening of the 1st, after her initial arrival.
Colette turns on the locket, taking a moment as she adjusts to using it for the first time. There is some initial shaky moments, but she seems to get the hang of it well enough as she sits at her bed in her accommodations, the light of the moon filtering through her window enough that she has no more than one candle flickering nearby. It's late, but she's not tired yet so she figures she may as well try figure using the lockets properly and introduce herself.]
Hello everyone. I'm Colette. I only recently got here, and it's....a lot to take in. But I guess for now I have no choice but to try my best to consider all of it and where I stand. Whether I want to fight and what I want to protect. Either way....there's a chance to make so many new friends here, and hear about so many different worlds! So I'm curious about all the other worlds and some of their stories, so what do you say we share some together? I'll start!
[A deep breath and she closes her eyes for a moment as she recites the story - the history, from memory. Having spent so many times going over the history, the Chosen and their role, of course she has memorized it.]
Once upon a time, there existed a giant tree that was the source of mana. A war, however, caused this tree to wither away, and a hero's life was sacrificed in order to take its place. Grieving over the loss, the goddess disappeared unto the heavens. The goddess left the angels with this edict: ‘You must wake me, for if I should sleep, the world shall be destroyed.’ The angels bore the Chosen One, who headed towards the tower that reached up unto the heavens. And that marked the beginning of the regeneration of the world.

[For Sylvarant's sake. For Lloyd's. Even if she is terrified. Even if she knows what is to come. Surely if she is successful, that will at least buy them some time to figure things out between the two worlds before Tethe'alla begins that decline.]

No, I'm not. This is what I was born for. I have to at least try. I got to the Final Seal.
[And said goodbye. The last she recalls. So there's a decent chance it worked. That she succeeded. Gave up her heart and memory as the last sacrifices. The last trial. But of course others couldn't hope to understand, not entirely.]

I...never really thought about after. [Mostly because either way she's 'dead'.] But of course they deserve to be saved! They've been suffering for years, waiting for the time I'd be old enough to go on the Journey. With the mana, the crops will stop dying and everything.

[What a pleasant conversation this turned out to be.]

[Given Colette has grown up with this knowledge of her own impending death, she's never known anything else. What it would be like to be just 'Colette' and not have this weight of responsibility for the entire world on her shoulders. If she ever felt some sort of bitterness about the idea, it's been brief and well hidden, tucked away with the eventual resignation of her fate. Not considering how sacrificing anyone at all would be such a terrible thing.]

[Lloyd taught her and Genis that, seeing her as 'Colette' rather than the Chosen, not caring if Genis is an elf or half elf. But it's hard to explain that in words, exactly. Which still doesn't make this any easier to argue about.]

You tried, Colette.]
