Tear is a woman of average height with fair skin, blue eyes, and long, light-brown hair with a bang covering her right eye. She dons a feminine Order of Lorelei uniform that accents her figure while retaining a modest appearance. The uniform has a large collar and bears her shoulders, leaving the remainder of her arms to be covered by matching gloves that appear to have a separate layer of small white gloves attached to the ends of them. The emblematic musical staff adorns her attire, trailing down the center in a straight line. Beneath her coat, Tear wears maroon-colored stockings that yield her knife weapons hidden at the top. Her look is completed with a delicate pair of white heels to accompany her gloves, and her default rod is a similarly-styled weapon to that of the Order of Lorelei. Despite a typically cold and serious demeanor, Tear has a soft spot for cute things, particularly Mieu, the bearer of the Sorcerer's Ring. She also has a fear of ghosts, which initially becomes evident when the group is making their way through the Abandoned Factory and is later hinted at again at Mt. Roneal. Tear is modest about her appearance in spite of it often being a topic of conversation, becoming embarrassed easily and scolding the other group members for such talk. She cares deeply about Luke, an affection that builds as the story progresses. The two grow to support each other despite their similar stubborn attitudes, and Tear ultimately confesses her love for Luke near the end of the story, after the battle with Van in Eldrant.
Tales of the Abyss
Tales of the Abyss takes place on Auldrant, a planet composed of elementary particles called Fonons. For much of Auldrant's history, only six fonons were known to exist, representing the elements of Shadow, Earth, Wind, Water, Fire and Light; but eventually a seventh fonon, controlling Sound, is discovered. Its discovery brings great chaos: using this newest Seventh Fonon allows one to read the future. One such Seventh Fonist, Yulia Jue, puts in place a future for the world for thousands of years to come, with the promise of unlimited prosperity at its end. This prophecy of the future's set path becomes known as the "Score" and is documented on "Fonstones" scattered throughout the world. The nations of Kimlasca-Lanvaldear and Malkuth have fought over the fragments of these tablets for generations, each uncovering them and hoping to discover the future before the other. Meanwhile, a holy order emerges dedicated to the reading of the Score and the keeping of the peace. This "Order of Lorelei" is headed by a Fon Master and maintains both religious/political and military branches. Finally, the Score and its promise of prosperity lead to a dangerous complacency within the general population of Auldrant; the slaughter of an entire people living on the island of Hod and the destruction of that landmass are countenanced because it was predicted in the Score.
