Alexandra
The black-eyed cousin
Name; Juka Manuya Vimala
Rank; Archon
Gender; F
Appearance;
Like most Archons of Manu, Vimala appears mostly lacking in augmentations, preferring to wear a little as possible while not on active duty; an unspoken statement about how organic she is. Her horns may not be as impressive as those of more militant leanings, but they are proportional to her small frame. Her third eye is always open, frequently staring into space or watching some unoccupied corner; all three rarely focus on one subject at the same time. It's unsettling when it happens.
Personality;
The quest for perfection must remain relentless and all threats to this state need to be eradicated. The most subtle of these come from within; from the dangerous hubris of those who believe perfection has already been attained, to the corrupted clones who would question the Divine Precepts. All descended from the Divine are imperfect; we, her children are the only possible weakness an enemy may exploit, and blessed as we are with the life that flows from her, it is our sacred duty to purge our flaws so that the whole remains undefeatable.
For the Jukari Empire to remain a well-oiled machine, all its component parts must work in unison, regardless of the individual's knowledge of the whole. Vimala exists in the unusual position that all Archons of Manu occupy; the ability to see the bigger picture. Or part of it, at least.
Each Prime is a direct extension of the Divine. The Archons operate under instruction from their Prime, and from there delegate to their devoted Children; the least perfect of all Jukari, and those in most pressing need of care and attention. If the Children rebel, dissent or are corrupted, then clearly an Archon somewhere has failed them; and it falls to Vimala to root out the cause and fix it. But it would be more effective to stop a problem before it even happens, wouldn't it? Identifying the signs that can lead to future issues for the collective has now become second nature for her, as has smoothing them down before they start to grow; allowing something to fester to the point it requires amputation is near-total failure in her eyes.
