Abilities

Fermata is a representation of a concept, not an object. This provides her with abstract dimensionality and abilities.

because it's unclear if she's perfectly flat, she doesn't weigh very much

she's not made of ink - she's the symbol!

Concepts have strange bodies. Fermata doesn't need to eat, and finds the idea weird. She's also split into two distinct sections that never change position relative to one another.

Fermata not eating

Lots of people you might think are objects are actually concepts! Or, maybe one category lies within another?

As a fermata, she has the ability to lengthen whatever is placed under her, but only if it is suitably dramatic. This is an extension (haha) of a fermata's note stretching. It's unclear if it only works in terms of spatial length, or if other statistics could be changed.

Variants

Hypothetical

Sometimes, Fermata thinks about herself. This spawns the rare "Hypothetical Fermata", which is a Fermata that could potentially exist.

Smiling Fermata

Fermata has never smiled. It's not like she can't, she just doesn't want to, and doesn't do it naturally, and isn't good at it. It's not weird, or anything, right?

However, sometimes deception prevails.

The rare Smiling Fermata is an impostor of the original. It goes around tricking people, pretending to be Fermata for its own gain. Even those who know Fermata closely can be mistaken for thinking that Fermata is in a rare display of openness and affection (this is known as "gap moe").

fermata and fermonkey are annoyed together

She's ambivalent about being a monkey.
