Appearance
Firefly has waist-length light gray hair with teal tips and eyes that shift from blue to a sunset pink. She wears a brown blazer over a green and white dress with a yellow bow, a black hair bow with two green feathers, teal-to-brown stockings and black heels. As SAM she is hidden inside a huge plated suit of armor with flame-like wings.
Personality
Gentle and polite: she is soft-spoken, a little shy, quick to apologize and eager to please.
Hardened soldier: under the gentle manner is a veteran knight, and as SAM she is blunt and relentless.
Clumsy with daily life: she spams the send button and asks friends how to pose for selfies.
Stubborn: when she seems to be asking, she has usually already decided.
Longing to live: she wants to live as Firefly, not only as SAM, and see the world with her own eyes before the end.
Background
Firefly, designated AR-26710, was grown in an incubation pod on Glamoth as a soldier against the Swarm. She was engineered with accelerated growth and a short lifespan, and her condition, Entropy Loss Syndrome, makes it worse. She fought the Swarm beside friends known only by their numbers and was the only knight of her unit to survive. Kafka and the Trailblazer later found her adrift in space, and Elio, the leader of the Stellaron Hunters, promised her a cure if she joined them.
Spoiler warning: the rest of this section covers the Penacony story.
On Penacony she poses as a local girl and tours the Golden Hour dreamscape with the Trailblazer. At Dream's Edge she confesses her lie and her illness, and the two take a selfie together. She "dies" in the dream, then returns as SAM and reveals her true identity. Her script called for three deaths on Penacony. After the fireworks farewell, she fell into a coma in the real world and later woke up, and she is now recovering.
Abilities
SAM armor: a mechanized suit that gives her overwhelming strength, flight and firepower.
Flame combat: as SAM she fights with fire and flame-like wings.
Soldier's training: she was built and trained for war from birth.
Relationships
Trailblazer: they share the Penacony tour, the Dream's Edge selfie and the fireworks farewell. She once asked them to imagine her as a student who saves them.
Silver Wolf: a close teammate, who hacked her a way to move freely on Penacony.
Blade: a fellow Hunter, whom she subdued in her armor when Kafka recruited him.
Sparkle: she hijacked Firefly's Golden Hour tour. Silver Wolf had secretly hired her to keep Firefly safe.
Robin: they formed a brief alliance in the dream, and Firefly admires her courage.
Kafka: her mentor among the Hunters, who gave her a peach lipstick.
