Character Name: Five / Das / Emily Kolburn Canon: Dark Matter Canon Point: 3x01, during the chaos that ensues after the EOS-7 space station attack and before Truffault gets her to an escape pod. History:Behold: a wiki link!
Personality: Five is clearly more idealistic than the rest of the crew of the Raza, as she is usually the one to insist that they can change and be better people than they were before losing their memories. She also wants to believe that they can change the universe for the better. She has good intentions and is kind-hearted, though she also doesn't seem to have much problem with breaking the law when it's necessary, or even just for them to get more money. Above all, though, she really wants to be helpful and to be seen as useful and a part of the team, and it bugs her any time it's implied that she's just a little girl (she's 16), or that she's "softer" than the rest of her crew. (Or that they're soft for keeping her around.) She wants her voice heard, and her opinion should matter, and she has things to offer that make her valuable to have around!
She makes decisions based mostly on emotion and instincts, and fortunately her instincts tend to be pretty good. She disobeys orders on a regular basis, but only in order to protect the people she cares about or help them in some way. This is definitely one of those traits that carried over from Das, considering she was the one to wipe the crew's memories in order to protect one of them. Das also had no problems committing crimes in order to survive, a view clearly still shared by Five although her sense of ethics are still against physically harming innocent people if they can help it. A lot of helpful things Five ends up doing for her crew are things never even asked of her, but that she does on instinct or she improvises.
Five is the first and most often one to call her and her crew "family." While this opinion was probably not shared by Das considering the crew of the Raza's old personalities, she clearly thought very affectionately of her fellow orphans and runaways aboard the space station they illegally inhabited (prior to their deaths and Das stowing away aboard the Raza), given evidence that she had a picture of them together and was intending to buy them all dinner to have together with the money she'd gotten off a "mark." This suggests that even here, on Kaisou, though she'll be missing her Raza crew, she may still find friends to call family!
It should be noted though that her Raza crew, even if they aren't here with her, they are in effect still a part of her, due to the fact that she retains their memories from before they all went into stasis. She can't access these on purpose, not without some sort of device to help, but they occasionally pop up in her dreams, and more rarely things will bubble up to the surface while she's completely conscious.
Five can be friendly and social, but has times when she needs a quiet place to herself, and on the Raza she finds this in the ducts of the air-vents. She also uses them to explore the ship, and in the beginning also to sneak into the other crew member's rooms and snoop around a little, though only after she made an effort to get to know them one-on-one and was initially rejected.
Despite finding herself in dark situations, and even having to kill at one point in defense of one of her crew mates, Five still shows at times incredible cheer and playfulness. Bouncing back from dark times seems relatively easy for her, the exception we're shown to be in the case of death or betrayal of/by someone she cares about. During those dark moments, she often shows fear but has stated that she's "tired of being the frightened little girl," and she always steps up despite her fear and does what she has to for herself and for her family. For this reason, it's implied she may be considered the bravest of the Raza crew.
While she doesn't trust as easily as probably a 16-year-old who hadn't had to survive on the streets would, she does seem to trust more easily than most of the rest of the Raza crew. This could have to do with her idealistic nature, and wanting to believe people can be better.
Despite her idealism, she's not naive, and she knows how to survive on her own. She is frequently underestimated, in the beginning not just by their enemies but also by her own crew. By this canon point she's definitely proven herself, and because of this has more confidence (not to mention more abilities that she's been taught - such as her fighting skills) then she did in the beginning. Without her family to back her up, she will be a little more fearful and insecure again until she finds people she can become close to who will encourage and support her. People who she can make proud.
Time of Arrival to Kaisou: Now? Now is good. Items: Nothing but the clothes on her back, unfortunately. Retained Ability: N/A, Five is an ordinary human, other than all the memories belonging to other people hidden inside her head.
