Caloria Cricket

About
Caloria Cricket is one of the last known remaining insect users, a small tribe of humans with strange abilities granted to them by the insects that live inside their bodies. When she was a small child, her tribe in Zeth was virtually wiped out in an ethnic purge by some of Zeth's first class citizens by order of King Gandhi's predecessor, who resented them for having powers that had nothing to do with magic. Because of this, she lived in isolation for seven years in the ruins of her village until meeting Rance's party. Though she initially avoided them at first, as she was understandably afraid of strangers, Rance's lack of prejudice towards her and the understanding of the rest of Ice Flame eventually convinced her to join Rance and his group.

As an insect user, she has four different insects living inside her body, the minimum required to be considered an adult according to her tribe's tradition, each with their own appearance, personnality, abilities and even appetites. Though her most recent addition, FlameBoy, initially was in disagreement with Grandfather, they know mostly live along in harmony.

Personality, Appearance and Relationships
She usually looks like a fairly young girl with slightly darker skin, green hair with two strands that twirl up like antennas, a single grey robe outfit and tattoos forming different symbols on her body. However, her insects can also surge up when she needs them (or when they feel like it), with Swallowtail springing from her forehead and the others appearing near her arms and back.

Due to living in isolation for most of her life, she has a childish disposition and fairly little knowledge of societal norms. She is quite kind and gentle, often worrying that her status as a hated insect user will bring trouble to those around around.

She has a strong friendship with Rocky Bank, who is around her age and has had a similarly rough life prior to meeting Rance. The two seem to spend the most time with each other out of all of the members of Ice Flame, and continued to work closely following the collapse of Zeth by helping Kimchi run her orphanage.

However, she is closest to Rance and Sill, who she treats as a surrogate big brother and sister, despite the former regularly sleeping with her.

Her insects each have their own personnalities and are able to speak in the human tongue, with Swallowtail being the most talkative and cheerful, usually doting on Caloria, Grandfather acting more protective and old-fashioned, Poisonfly usually acting uninvolved but with a slight aggressive streak, and Fire Boy being the youngest and most rambunctious, occasionally at odds with Grandfather.

Abilities
As an Insect-user, the four insects living in her body act in symbiosis with her. As each insect has different abilities, insect users are very diverse in their combat potential. She has a level cap of 42, which gives her a very good amount of power if she reaches it.

Swallowtail gives her amazing sensing abilities, being able to act much like a radar from great distances.

Grandfather can cover her in a protective shell, temporarily protecting her from virtually any harm.

Poisonfly gives her powerful offensive abilities, making her able to pelter her enemies with poisonous darts.

Fire Boy can act much like a powerful flamethrower burning her foes to a crisp.
