Blossom Lelia Cane is a lab assistant for Samuel Brownlee at The Laboratory of the Mind, and a main character in The Demon's Light series.
Appearance
Blossom is a short young woman with long, straight black hair, most commonly worn loose or parted in waves. Due to her parents being natives of the southern regions of Hala, her eyes are dark brown and her skin the color of honey.
Personality
Blossom is independent and often argumentative, standing up for what she thinks is right and refusing to back down, even in the time of hardships. Blossom can also be easily startled, especially while focused. She is also very creative and enjoys painting, pottery, and cooking.
Background
Being the daughter of a candy store owner and a librarian, Blossom has lived a comfortable life in Silivia, away from the war and barely knowing anything about demons and angels. After hearing from her father about a job opening at The Laboratory of the Mind, she applied, interested in both the work done at the place and a desire to produce an income for herself, due to a long-held dream of moving out of Silvia and traveling Euclid as an artist.
Role in series
"In Somnis Veritas"
After the protagonists arrived at The Laboratory of the Mind, Blossom was ordered by Samuel to accommodate them. Upon showing them around the place, the group settled down for the night when Samuel offered to show them the prized possession of the lab, The Contraption.
After the group decided to test the contraption during their sleep, Blossom agreed to do so as well, having grown fond of Atticus Anoethite and had hopes of sharing a dream with him. Samuel refused to let her participate, due to her never having done the experiment before. After a short amount of bickering, he agreed to let her join and she joined the others in the testing room.[1]
Once the dream began, she found herself in a shared dream with Atticus, where they were on a date together at a restaurant. After a small amount of talking, Atticus left their table to go outside, where Blossom requested to come with him due to feeling unwell. Once outside, things took a sharp turn as the two began seeing several apparitions. The two started to sprint away from the restaurant, hoping to escape the strange occurrences when a pack of ghouls escape from the place and began to chase after them. Hiding in an alley, they paused as the ghouls ran past, thinking they were safe.
Shortly after the ghouls passed, Blossom noticed Atticus behaving strangely, yelling at the air. He then pulled a knife out and pushed her against the wall, ignoring her pleas as he slit her throat.
Blossom then awoke in an old barn, similar to the setting of "The Mysterious Light", confused as to where she was. Looking around, she noticed three people on the floor beside her. Hearing a loud voice boom across the barn, she looked around in fear, watching as two of the people disappeared into sand and blew away in the wind.
Walking closer to Atticus, who was also in the barn and unrecognizable to Blossom, small talk began as they each demanded to know who the other was. During the talk, the barn begins to dissolve into sand, with seven hood figures appearing in front of the two. Backing away as the leader of the figures began to address Atticus, the two found themselves entrapped by the beings.
With the leader of the group disappearing after thanking Atticus for an unknown reason and the rest of the group being sent to where he and Blossom here, Atticus remembered a die in his pocket and took it out. Shaking and rolling it, he managed to end the dream and wake everyone up.
"Carpe Diem"
After the shared dream ended, Blossom awoke back in the testing room, most of the others still sleeping around her. She found John Fontaine standing above them all, watching them as they slept. As the group continued to wake up, Fontaine pointed at her and demanded to know who she was. Upon answering the man, she stepped back from the group when Fontaine began to discuss with them his knowledge about the whereabouts of Savannah Whitesmith.
For most of the conversation, she stood silent. Eventually, Fontaine showed an image of Savannah's deceased corpse and caused a reaction from the girl. Feeling sick from the image, she looked over at Atticus in fear, remembering her death from the dream.
As the group prepared to leave the room, Blossom was heading out the door when she was grabbed by her wrist and pulled back. Seeing Atticus holding her back, she quickly got defensive when he began asking her questions, having noticed her strange behavior around him. After a small argument, Atticus began to display strange behavior again, similar to the dream. Once he snapped out of it, he took off out of the room, refusing to talk to her. Blossom followed behind shortly, calling out for him. Once downstairs, she became seated at a table for breakfast with the rest of the group and Fontaine. As Fontaine began to discuss an attack plan on Alchemilia Corporation, Blossom watched in silence.
"Risky Decisions"
At the table, Blossom became concerned after Atticus' strange behavior showed from having a hallucination. She was confused by Fontaine's words as with her being previously sheltered from the war, she knew nothing of Gabriel Alchemilia or the encounters that the others had gone through. Despite Atticus' requests for Steven, Samuel, Wen Li and Blossom to leave so that the main group could discuss the attack plan in detail, Blossom decided to stay as she thought she could have good say in the conversation.
Later in the conversation, Blossom expressed to Melissa that it may be a poor choice to go with Fontaine as it could potentially be a trap. However, she later contradicted this at the end of the episode as she decided to go with the group if they agree to go with Fontaine.
"Primo Victoria"
Taking place three months after "Risky Decisions", the episode begins with Blossom living in an apartment with her boyfriend, Atticus, much to the disapproval of the rest of the group.
"Primo Victoria: Part II"
