Destiny!
Name:
Colette Brunel
Game from:
Tales of Symphonia
Age:[/b]
18
Race:
Human/"Angel"
Gender:
female
Alliance:
Crisis Crusaders
Personality:
Colette is shown to be fairly clumsy, at one point even receiving a title called "Klutz", and her repetitive tripping causes the most unusual things to happen, from making a hole in the wall at school to deactivating the most complex of machines. This causes Sheena Fujibayashi to claim that her clumsiness is truly "blessed". She can also appear clueless, as she misses some things that are obvious to everyone else, as telling an assassin who is after to kill the Chosen that she is the Chosen, and worrying for her afterward when she falls down a pit.
As the Chosen of Sylvarant, she prays for the world's safety every night. She is quick to take responsibility, and puts everybody above herself. She is brave and quick to do what she believes is right, but she is not very self-confident, and can be slow to decide what the right action is, most of the time asking Lloyd to decide in her stead. Colette is also very self-conscious and wishes she were not different, because it is because she is different that she never was able to live like a normal girl. This is one of the clear differences between her and Zelos, the Chosen of Tethe'alla, as Colette accepts the differences, even if she does not like them, while Zelos tries to find a way to get rid of them. As the game continues, Colette begins to show more of the negative aspects of her selflessness. Because she does not want people to worry or keep their minds from their goal, she hides all her suffering and burden, bearing them all alone. This, however, also works against her, since she tries to hide illnesses like Angel Toxicosis and Chronic Angelus Crystallus Inofficium from the others, forcing them to discover them on their own. This factor annoys Lloyd the most, because he feels that he cannot help her, but from Colette's perspective, she feels that worrying anyone or showing something odd is just not appropriate for the journey she has begun. Colette is a very mature young woman. She was brought up with the knowledge that she would need to die to save the world, and has gained from that a truly selfless nature. However, she later recognizes that she made a mistake in her willingness to sacrifice herself, believing in Lloyd's ideas that no life is born for the sole purpose of dying. As such, her greatest wish at the end of the game is to ensure that no one else makes the same mistake she did.
History:
Colette was born and raised in Iselia, a small community located in the north-western part of Sylvarant. When she was born, there was a Cruxis Crystal, an evolved kind of Exsphere, in her hand, signifying her as the Chosen of Regeneration.
Her thought-adoptive father and grandmother, Frank Brunel and Phaidra Brunel respectively, raised her in the village as her family. At some point during the early years of her childhood, Colette was taught how to read angelic language. As she got older, she was introduced to the clergy, some of whom she would later meet during her Journey of World Regeneration. She also met the priests who were meant to accompany her on her journey. She then started her formal education at the Iselia schoolhouse, where she met Lloyd Irving. She and the young Lloyd soon became friends. Sometime later, Genis Sage joined in their circle of friendship. The day Colette turns sixteen, Cruxis sends down an Oracle. Colette, accompanied by Lloyd, Genis, and the mysterious mercenary Kratos Aurion, after they defeat the Renegades-thought-Desians, enter the Martel Temple to meet the summons of the angels. At the highest level of the temple, the angel Remiel arrives to convey the blessings of Cruxis and bestow the Tower of Salvation. Because of his angelic creations, he is believed to be Colette's "real father", thought Colette does not feel like he is her father, a fact she admits later on.
The end of the Day of Prophesy marks the beginning of Colette's Journey of Regeneration, during which she must release the "Seals" that are scattered throughout the world. There are a total of five Seals, the fifth being at the Tower of Salvation, where the Journey will end, Colette will be sacrificed, and the dying will would be regenerated. She leaves the village of Iselia under the protection of Kratos and Raine Sage, her teacher. As she is leaving, she acts, in Genis's words, "overly cheerful" in an attempt to hide the fact that the Journey of Regeneration will end with her death. Trying to cause her trusted friend Lloyd the least amount of grief, she lies to him about the time of her departure, in the hope that he will then be able to live in the regenerated world. Her bluff fails, however, and Lloyd and Genis catch up with her later on. As the party moves from one Seal to the next, Colette begins to gain more angelic powers, like wings, enhanced sight and improved hearing. However, she also loses the things that make her human, like the ability to taste food, sleep, and even speak. She hides this from the party for most of the time, but when she loses the ability to feel, she is forced by Lloyd to tell him the truth, and Lloyd eventually tells the rest of the group of it. Eventually, the party reaches the Tower of Salvation, where Colette is forced to make the final sacrifice: her heart and memory. Having lost all those things that made her human, Colette is the perfect vessel for Martel, her mana signature being the closest possible to that of Martel. Remiel says, during the ritual in which Colette sacrifices her heart and her memory, that he is not Colette's father, and that the "inferior beings" only called him her father because he placed the Cruxis crystal on her. Colette reveals to Lloyd, through some non-oral form of communication, that she somehow knew this, and thanks Lloyd for the sixteen years he gave her reason to live, before sacrificing her heart and memory and becoming unresponsive to the rest of the group. After the group battles Remiel, Kratos arrives and reveals that Cruxis plans to transfer Martel's consciousness into Colette’s body, denying that it will cause Colette to die. Before Cruxis is able to put Martel's consciousness into Colette's body, however, she is taken to relative safety by the Renegades.
Lloyd and the party are later forced to flee to the parallel world of Tethe'alla, taking the soulless Colette with them in hope of curing her. Colette regains her senses after Lloyd carves a Key Crest into her late birthday necklace, and Pronyma attempts to take it off. She apparently remembers everything that happened while she was unresponsive, as she knows Zelos Wilder' name, and has regained her need for food and the ability to feel, though has kept her angel senses. However, Colette has been hit with the rare angel disease called Chronic Angelus Crystallus Inofficium, which causes her body to slowly and painfully crystallize. Colette finds this out between her reawakening and first visit to Ozette, but, like with the Angel Toxicosis, decides to keep it for herself so that the party will not be distracted from their goal.
As the journey to reunite the worlds continues, Colette is kidnapped by the rogue Desian Grand Cardinal Rodyle, who plans to use her Cruxis Crystal in his Mana Cannon. His plans are foiled when he realizes that she has Chronic Angelus Crystallus Inofficium, and instead plans to use her to kill the party against her will. The party rescues her safely, but Rodyle’s words that she is a “sinful and useless Chosen” is still in her mind, and later, she believes that his referring to her as "sinful" is a reference to her failure to perform the world regeneration, something she feels guilty of despite knowing that it would only bring about what Lloyd describes as "a false peace." Colette's disease is introduced gradually, starting with mild discomfort and leading to her collapsing in pain in Ozette shortly before Rodyle abducts her. After Forcystus shoots her when she shields Chocolat, it reveals that she has begun to crystallize. The party then searches for a cure, learning about Mithos the Hero and Mithos splitting the world into two with the power of the Eternal Sword in the process. Colette is cured just in time after the party escapes Welgaia, but this is followed up with the revelation that Kratos is Lloyd’s father and that a half-elf friend of theirs is in fact the leader of Cruxis, who wants to use her as a host for his older sister Martel. When the party goes to Flanoir to find a doctor for Altessa, the player is able to choose a character to whom he will talk to at nighttime, and who will affect the plot later on. Although this is a player’s choice in the game, Drama CDs have revealed that Lloyd travels with Colette after the game, which makes this choice canon. At Flanoir, she and Lloyd talk about what makes Kratos a good father, and Colette gives Lloyd a good-luck charm, as she senses his worry for the future, which later saves his life.
Colette is captured in the Tower of Salvation after Zelos betrays the group and is brought to the Great Seed Chamber, where Mithos and Pronyma proceed to merge Martel into Colette’s body. Although Lloyd and his once thought dead friends come to help her, it is too late, and Martel has taken over Colette’s body. Martel, however, uses Colette's body to urge Mithos to stop what he is doing. In a skit after the group leaves, it is revealed that Colette is able to understand Martel's feelings while she is possessed, and when either Kratos or Zelos places a Key Crest on Colette's Cruxis Crystal, causing Martel’s consciousness to leave her, she urges the group to stop Mithos from moving the Great Seed to Derris-Kharlan, having understood Martel's desires. After defeating Yggdrasill, the party goes to Heimdall, preparing to battle Kratos in order to release Origin’s seal. While everyone else is asleep, Colette and Lloyd go outside to talk, as a result of the choice made in Flanoir. They talk shortly about Lloyd’s situation with Kratos, before they agree that Colette will travel together with Lloyd on his journey to collect Exspheres.
After the battle against Kratos and Origin, the soul of Mithos appears through his Cruxis Crystal and tries to possess Lloyd. Colette, again hurries and takes the Cruxis Crystal onto herself, resulting in Mithos possessing her instead and taking her to Derris-Kharlan. While on Derris-Kharlan, at the gate to Welgaia, Colette’s strong soul overpowers Mithos’ and, after Lloyd comes, they manage to push him away. Together, the teenagers go around Welgaia to help their trapped friends. At the final door, the whole group transport themselves over to Mithos’ throne, where Mithos’ body is, empty of his soul. Colette then loses Mithos’ Cruxis Crystal, and it floats to Mithos, which causes him to reawaken. During the battle, Colette tries to persuade Mithos into giving up by mentioning Martel, but this does not stop him. After Mithos is killed, the group proceeds to reunite the worlds through the Eternal Sword and the Summon Spirits. However, the Great Seed dies during the process. Determined to give everything, Lloyd somehow manages to unleash angel wings to follow the seed. Colette follows him, and together they manage to revive the Great Seed, causing the birth of a new tree and its tree spirit, Martel. After witnessing the World Tree’s future form, she urges Lloyd into naming the tree.
At the end of the game, Colette returns home to Iselia, where all the villagers welcome her, and explains that she is no longer the Chosen and wishes to be known as just "Colette". She meets up with Lloyd and Noishe later on to follow him on a new journey to collect Exspheres.
