Story
An artist for hire trying to make a living. Reserved and timid, she is not good with words but speaks volumes through her art, where her creations come to life with impossible authenticity.
Evaluation Basis: [Resonance Assessment 1231-G] The exact timing of Resonator Zhezhi's Awakening is unclear. Signs of "animation" appeared in her childhood drawings, and her Forte control improved alongside her painting skills. Resonator Zhezhi's Tacet Mark is located on the back of her right hand. Post-Awakening observations have not found any significant physical changes. Testing shows Zhezhi can "animate" her paintings, affecting observers' visual perception and judgment (effective on both living organisms and Tacet Discords). "Animation" has two levels: Moderate: Causes slight movements in two-dimensional images. Severe: Simulates three-dimensional volumetric forms, lasting up to 30 minutes and 28 seconds, covering up to 274.5 square meters. Both levels produce illusions, not actual objects. No stable interval detected. No similar Resonance Spectrum Pattern identified, and the cause of Zhezhi's Awakening remains unclear. Additionally, analysis of test samples show a Rabelle's Curve with a noticeable periodic waveform. Therefore, Zhezhi is identified as a Congenital Resonator.
A set of paintbrushes Zhezhi purchased during her first solo shopping trip as a child, after fumbling for words in front of the shop owner. Wherever Zhezhi went, so did these paintbrushes, recording her artistic growth along the way. Though now too old and fragile to use, Zhezhi still regards them as a source of encouragement, handling them with great care.
A luxurious birdcage left empty for a long time. As a reward for Zhezhi's obedience in using her Forte to paint and help save the family business, her parents bought her a pet bird as a surprise. Every day, Zhezhi watched the bird beat its wings against the cage until it was exhausted. After much hesitation, one day she boldly defied her parents and released the bird from its captivity. After her parents disappeared, Zhezhi sold off the family's remaining belongings, keeping only the birdcage as a memento. Whenever she looked at it, she didn't see the bars but the bird that had long since flown free.
New desserts, art exhibit tickets, trips to new cities... Struggling to pay off her family's debt while barely making ends meet, Zhezhi took the habit of jotting down things she wanted to buy or do on a wish list. She often checks this list, but can only fulfill one or two of these smaller wishes on rare occasions when she has a bit of extra money.
