''"I'll do whatever it takes to keep this case from my father."''

'''Pocket''' is a tall, slender, and pretty little thing who flies around looking for an opportunity to burst onto the scene. With their strong shotgun and area damage, they flank enemies in unfavourable positions, using their mobility to efficiently get in and out. Their flying cloak gives them a teleport, their barrage of spirits lets them extend their midair flight, and their enchanter's satchel lets them hide away into a safe little box. And if need be, their froggy affliction will spread damage across the enemy for a long, long time.

== Background ==
=== A Fate's Tale ===
Arin Fairfax, the eldest heir to Fairfax Industries, has been living in hiding for the past 5 years after being shot and left for dead on their 18th birthday. Arin doesn't know who is trying to keep them from taking control of their parent's company... but in the avarice fueled viper's nest that is Fairfax Industries, it could be anyone.

Taking on the name "Pocket", Arin desperately wants to keep their true identity a secret... not only for their own protection; but because they want to forge their own identity separate from their parents.

== Trivia ==
* Pocket's alternative names in the game files is "Synth".
