Blue Pilot
MinorHer elongated form and the light beneath her skin suggest someone who has become part of the vessel she pilots, more energy than flesh.
The Blue Pilot first emerges in Golden Son as a living bridge between flesh and machine, her elongated skull and glowing temple tattoos marking her as one of the Blues whose consciousness is partially uploaded into the starship they pilot. Across the series she evolves from a background technician into a critical strategic asset whose digital-human hybrid nature allows her to outmaneuver opponents in the vacuum of space. Her presence underscores the Rising’s need for specialized skills that transcend traditional color hierarchies, and her quiet loyalty becomes a quiet counterpoint to the more explosive personalities around her.
Physical Description
A Blue woman with a bird-like thin body and elongated neck, her bald skull marked with digital tattoos. Large, deep azure eyes dominate her face, while glowing blue light emanates from beneath the skin at her left temple. Her movements carry the slight delay of someone whose consciousness remains partially connected to the ship's energy systems.
