~ Plana, to Arona |
Plana (プラナ), formerly known as A.R.O.N.A, is a non-playable character in Blue Archive that resides in the Shittim Chest alongside Arona.
Profile[]
Introduction[]
The main OS of the Shittim Chest and Arona from another timeline. She is the manifestation of the damaged Shittim Chest from alternate timeline shot by Shiroko Terror, before reactivating when Phrenapates appeared.
Personality[]
Unlike Arona, despite also being the AI of the Shittim Chest, Plana generally spoke with simple commands, such as "understood." However, after parting with Phrenapates, she begins speaking more normally, though she often still speaks like a stereotypical computer AI by using simple formal response phrases. She calls Arona "Arona-senpai".
Appearance[]
Plana is a small girl with long white hair that extends below her waist and bangs cover her right eye. Her hair has a mild red gradient as it goes down, and she has a braid on her right side that looks like a double-helix with a red halo around where it's tied. She has dark gray irises, but her right pupil is very pale blue, while her left pupil is red.
Uniform[]
Plana wears a black sailor uniform with white piping on the edges of the collar that's tied with a white ribbon, a black pleated skirt that reaches just above her knees, black stockings, black loafers, and a long black coat.
Halo[]
Her halo is a simple red ring. Much like Arona, her halo changes depending on her mood.
Firearm[]
She appears to be carrying a long-ranged rifle, likely to be a two-toned black and white Pattern 1914 Enfield bolt action battle rifle, wrapped in black shroud, similarly to Shimoe Koharu's, though she is holding it by her two hands,
Trivia[]
- Unlike the original Shittim Chest, the password for this version is reversed, swapping Jericho and Seven.
- "We long for the wailing of Jericho. We bear the seven koans."
- Plana appears on the chalkboard in the opening sequence of the 3rd PV, causing some to believe that the 1st year anniversary takes place after the events of the final volume. [1]
- In an interview with isakusan, he mentioned how Volume F has been in development for 5 years and that he's been dropping hints of it ever since its development. Plana's subtle appearance on the whiteboard appears to be one of these hints.
- The name "Plana" comes from the word "Planetarium," after Arona's wish for Plana to illuminate her surroundings with a warm light like a planetarium, rather than like a solitary, fleeting star.
- After completing the Final Volume, Plana will begin appearing in the combat selection menu alongside Arona with extra interactions, voice lines, and background changes.
