Abby

Abby's father is a Radiant of SEED. Due to his busy schedule, Abby was brought up by her mother who was a professor at a music academy and an academic.

As Abby has shown an exceptional talent in music since young, her mother was determined to make her a world-class pianist. Because of that, Abby didn't get to have a normal childhood in which she could play with friends, climb trees, or do other fun activities which may damage her hands. She was not allowed to play music that doesn't adhere to the standard pattern due to the lack of elegance.

Every day, Abby spent more than 10 hours practicing her piano. She was being brainwashed to "imitate, learn and become a certain musician", rather than be herself.

Abby hardly got to see her father due to his unusually busy schedule. To her mother, her father was a traitor who abandoned his good life and his promising future as a musician for a place in a mysterious organization. He was away from home most of the time, and whenever he came home, he always had injuries on him, making her mother extremely worried.

But Abby liked her father. She looked forward to hearing his stories at work, as if they were fantastic and exciting journeys. It was only after Abby became a Radiant many years later that she realized those stories were of the Dream world.

Her father would always encourage her to do things that she likes. He would often talk to her mother to fight for her freedom.

However, on Abby's 15th birthday, her father went missing. Devastation caused her mother to start believing that her father's disappearance was due to his "dishonest work". She was terrified that Abby would become like her father, so she locked up everything there were about him. She didn't allow Abby to touch anything that belonged to her father and insisted that she remained a "normal" person. From then on, the only things left in Abby's world are the black and white piano keys.

After losing another competition, Abby was evaluated to be "extraordinary in technique but lacking in emotion". Abby had a big argument with her mother, after which she ran away from home. She wandered aimlessly and away from people, and ended up walking into the dark secret of the city.

Music blasted in her ears as she stared at the brightly-lit stage. For the first time, she realized that music is not merely notes on staves; it can yell, scream and express oneself.

"The world is playing deaf. I'll wake up your ears!

Be free to dream! Rock & roll!

Unleash your desires, let the monsters out

Embrace fear in your dream, in the place called abyss!

Scream with your might! Rock& roll!

Let demons be good, let angels be bad

All races are equal, there are no gods!"

In the crowded bar, the white-haired vocalist of the "symphony" screamed as she pleases.

While Bloomsea was shrouded in silence, the underground party had only just begun.

Born in the Roman Empire, Beethoven was one of the most famous classical musician and composer in Vienna during the era of classicism. He has created many powerful and influential works.

However, his childhood was not a happy one. Having been taught by his strict father, Beethoven developed a sensitive and stubborn personality. Later in his life, he struggled with a gradual decline in hearing, but he persisted and went on to compose many great works.

"No true soul in any music genre is not attributed to Beethoven."

After his death, his gnosis became a Lens and returned to his hometown.

Abby's mother noticed that something was wrong when Abby started giving excuses for going out. She even found a strange score in her room.

Using those as evidence, her mother questioned Abby about her intention to become a "failure" like her father. Furious, she tore up the score right before Abby. Abby was devastated. The score, a divertimento which took her a long time to compose, was meant to be a gift for her father and mother with the hope of bringing reconciliation between them. There seemed to be a beast in Abby's heart, dying to roar but couldn't. She even doubted her love for music. She was eager to break free from the mental prison and find a place where she could let it all out.

When Abby picked up the dusty score for the "Symphony of Fate" once again, the sound of the electric guitar sounded like knockings on fate's door. She heard Beethoven's determination to break the chains of fate and saw freedom in the vast world.

Listen, to the swirling desire in my heart.

Tremble, to the roaring of the beast in me.

Fear, the blade with which I break the chains.

"Do not fear, the world is before you." Abby heard Beethoven utter these words to her.
