Phoebe Naar is based on Flame Princess from Adventure Time. She is a 26 year old fire demon, Rage Cage employee, and uses she/her pronouns. She has the power of fire manipulation. Phoebe is portrayed by Sarah Gustafsson.
it felt like the world was stacked against her since birth. her power being so destructive and intense that it outshined her father at a young age. she was too young to even know she was being exiled until she was brought back and put into the lantern prison that she would learn to accept as her home. how was she supposed to cope with the fact that her own father wanted her dead? how was she meant to exist when everything else around her wanted her flame to die out? it was a maddening upbringing.
there was also the fact that her father was pure evil and convinced that she was too. it was hard to overlook his claims when all she ever seemed to do was bring pain and destruction. she spent years in the lantern she was trapped in festering her anger, hardening her heart, and even though she could not fully harden it, her emotions were so off-balance that it only led to more destruction once she was out.
emotions. they were the bane of her existence and the only thing she knew about herself. she expressed them freely, letting the world burn around her even when she knew better because controlling herself has always been her biggest battle. she isn't the type to just let things go or not demand to be heard so when she is angry or hurt, everyone knows it. unfortunately those always seem to be her main two emotions.
she used to dream of a brave knight marching into the fire kingdom, standing up to her father, and whisking her away to better things. so when finn came into the picture she really thought all of that was going to happen. their connection was intense and foreign, so new and so pure but so, so, fragile. she put her all into him and trusted too easily and when he hurt her it cut deeper than anything she had ever known despite her trauma. her emotional outburst was so intense that any progress she had made to show she was more than an evil princess backfired and instead of putting in a fight, she exiled herself. if she was as evil as everyone around her was telling her, then she was going to make sure no one would ever see her again.
isolation wasn't so bad because it was a familiarity she was used to. when she was alone, she was safe and everyone around her didn't have to carry her burdens. it might have slowly ate at her, but she was strong and she wasn't going to let it dull her flame. she was alone, but she was free to live in peace.
phoebe can admit that she doesn't fully know what had gotten into herself when she decided to search for finn and jake with the others. she felt ooo shake, knew in her gut it was about finn, and just...reacted like she always did. ending up in evermore was a wildly confusing experience. not only did finn and jake just not remember her or anyone but she was once again trapped against her will. her body might not have been made of pure flames anymore but the fire inside of her was blazing as brightly as ever. all she could do was try to make the best of being a prisoner in this strange town that was absolutely nothing like anywhere she had ever been before.
at the same time....she wasn't in ooo. no one knew of the flame princess that destroyed everything she touched. she had a chance to start over, for the slate to be wiped clean. it was bittersweet to come to terms with. on one hand she could finally prove that she wasn't evil at heart and that she could do something good for the world but leaving everything she knew behind meant forgiving and forgetting and she was not the type to do as such. so much rage and anger and heartache burned in her every time she saw finn in passing, but she did her best to avoid him for the sake of her fresh start.
making connections with people is incredibly hard for her. she can be calm but her moods still swing so violently sometimes that sometimes she is harsh before she can control herself. she doesn't let other people really touch her in fear that she will accidentally hurt them despite her new body having a much cooler temperature. she's still hot to the touch and full of conflicting emotions, but she's doing her best to make friends and live her life.
she doesn't really sleep much. every time she falls into any kind of deep sleep she dreams of her father or of his voice whispering evil nothings to her until she destroys everything in her path. she runs on energy drinks and countless errands to keep her mind busy.
one of things she has found that really seems to keep her level-headed is music. she likes all kinds but really gravitates to rap music. she finds it fun and likes to write her own (but she would never ever share any of that with the world).
the rage cage feels like her home more than the little shab of a place she has for herself. a place where she can just unleash her feelings out and get praised for it? sounds too good to be true but it is real.
she is still trying to get the hang of things in evermore. her terminology is already bad because of how sheltered she was but now that she's not in ooo it's only gotten harder to keep up with slang or how society works.
she never really did food-food before, but now that she needs it, she kinda loves it. everything she eats is spicy to levels that should not be considered safe, but it's so yummy!
if there is two things phoebe cannot tolerate under any circumstances it is being made fun of or lied to. she will happily confront anyone with a fresh thirst of blood the moment she catches anyone doing either act. she doesn't think that makes her a bad person. she's been lied to and treated shitty her entire life, so sue her for not wanting that energy around her.
as much as she loves the rage cage, she wonders if it's enough sometimes. the fire burning in her loves destruction and while destroying a room is fun and safe...that fire always craves more. she's been doing a good job at keeping it down for now but...she wonders how much longer she can.
