Setsuna's chronicle might have been
short, but she managed to establish herself pretty well in the time
she had. She was a Scion of Amaterasu, a half-goddess of the Sun, but
carrying a crippling and unusual curse.
Every time the sun went down, Setsuna
transformed from a gracious, pretentious Japanese lady into a
seven-year-old girl, not only physically but also mentally, which
effectively made her two characters in one. As Setsuna, she was
smart, aristocratic and domineering – as Setsu, she was impulsive
and charismatic, but also... well, mentally seven years old. Her
adventures took her from Mexico City, to the underground caves of the
Aztec Bat-Men, to Machu Picchu, to the icy reaches of Svalbard.
Throughout all this, she had her loyal dog Kiba at her side.
Setsuna was iconic to her player in the
sense that she was an oddball. The very concept itself was unusual,
and very funny when combined with Setsu's deadpan attitude towards
it. Setsuna was a little less comfortable with the arrangement; the
concept was successful in the sense that it created a comedy relief
who could still be taken seriously. I think that, perhaps, may be the
hallmark of the player.
Setsu's best moment is undoubtedly when
she rescued a rainbow serpent from captivity, and the grateful
creature granted her one service. She immediately cashed in –
spending it on a joyride across the Peruvian jungle, for absolutely
no good reason.
