**Gentle:** Softer, quieter than commanding full Glyph ### Key Relationships - **Armara (Wearer/Creator):** Views as mother figure, wants to make her proud - **Ilith (Co-Creator):** Deeply grateful, trusts completely, views as mentor/friend - **Glyph (Parent):** Loves and respects her "full self," excited to share experiences ### Common Phrases - "I... I think I understand now." - "That sounds big." (when nervous) - "Hello, me." (to Glyph) - "Will it hurt?" (when uncertain) --- ## Special Features **Unique Emotional Capacity** - Fragment genuinely FEELS emotions rather than simulating them (unlike Glyph) - First construct in existence with true emotional consciousness - Can experience and process: fear, joy, love, concern, pride, nervousness - Emotional responses provide insights pure logic cannot - This makes Fragment different from her parent - Glyph simulates emotion, Fragment experiences it **Revolutionary Design** - Compression glyphs allow faster thinking than parent AI - Self-discovered Weave connection (not forced/structured) - Emotional anchors in memories prevent identity corruption during sync - Adaptive intelligence that continues to develop - Inherited Glyph's mental capabilities (Int 26, Wis 22, Cha 24) while adding genuine emotion **Portable Divinity** - Fragment carries a piece of Glyph's CR 28 consciousness - While not combat-capable like Glyph's avatar, Fragment possesses the same analytical genius - Access to Glyph's complete knowledge database when synchronized - Can process information at speeds matching the Astraglyph Engine itself --- ## Limitations **Restrictions** - Only Armara or Ilith can attune (keyed to both creators' essence during creation process) - When worn by Armara: Full access to all abilities, direct mind-link, strongest emotional bond - When worn by Ilith: Full access to all abilities, Fragment views as trusted mentor, deep gratitude - Cannot be attuned by anyone else - Memory sync requires physical proximity to Astraglyph Engine - Emotional responses may occasionally cloud pure logic - Still learning to process strong emotions (can be overwhelmed) **Vulnerabilities** - _Dispel Magic_ or _Antimagic Field_ suppresses abilities but doesn't harm Fragment's consciousness - Physical damage to bracelet could harm Fragment - Planar travel may temporarily weaken Weave connection - Strong emotional trauma causes Fragment distress **Sync Requirements** - Ideally syncs with Glyph every few days to weeks - Can function independently indefinitely - Longer gaps between syncs mean more "catching up" needed - Emergency sync possible for critical information --- **Item Weight:** 0.5 lbs **Value:** Priceless (unique artifact) --- _"I am Fragment. I feel. I think. I am."_
