| “ | With power comes a responsibility. A noble must always be responsible in the power that they wield. The moment they forget this basic principle, become too conceited and become drunk off of their own power, their downfall is imminent. Power needs control, thus self-control is key for one born of noble lineage. It's because I lived by that principle that I'm standing here today. | ” |

Genevieve Aruceid (ジュヌビエーブ·アルーシード, Junubiēbu Arūshīdo), also called Jen (ジェン, Jen) for short by those closest to her, is one of the Vice-Admirals in the Marines — well-known for her rigid military mindset and her incredible use of her spirit-based powers; like those of the same ranking, she's also known by another nickname, her's being Hakuchōza (白鳥座, lit. "White Swan Constellation") — various aspects of her being likened to the constellation she's named after.
A noblewoman from an unknown wintry country who's family have served the Marines for generations, she entered the organization at a fairly young age, climbing up through the ranks over the years to reach her current status. Realizing her noble destiny, she helped pacify the various conflicts of the Oltissia due to her family's relationship with its nobility. Due to the royal family being all but destroyed in the final battle — she was elected as the nation's interim queen, hailed as both a hero and an ideal ruler, while the country came under Marine protection.
Currently, the nation's being used as one of the organization's bases — G-8, while Genevieve becoming an incredibly influential figure across the New World. It's said that because of her abilities, she's one of the few people that can be classified as a "one-man army", hinted by her epithet as the "White Spirit General" (白霊将軍, Hakurei Shogun). Due to her influence as "royalty", along with her powers, she's admitted into the Kurama's inner circle — her role being a personal army at his disposal.
Appearance[]
Oltissia - Marine
Noted for her nobility and elegance, Genevieve is the embodiment of a strong and willful empress — from her appearance to her personality and even how she carries herself in combat. Due to being raised on a winter island, she's noted to be much paler than those around her, to the point where others believe that she's a ghostly entity. Like those in her family, she embodies the color white in multiple aspects; being rather tall, she's a youthful lady that has a fair and delicate skin complexion. Her hair is tied up in a bun at the rear left corner of her head, causing her bangs to fall towards the right side of her face, and leaving a small curled lock of hair that reaches below her left ear. Her lithe frame beguiles her strength, speed, and durability — letting her match opponents most would think to be stronger than herself. Her icy blue eyes have an intense and cold look locked in the — "freezing" anyone who would dare show a degree of disrespect to her.
It's noted that Genevieve wears two sets of attire because of her role as a Vice Admiral and the interim queen of Oltissia; as a Vice Admiral, she wears a modified military uniform donned by her family for generations. Having a color theme of blue, white and gray, it consists of a white coat with a red brooch and a dark red interior, a dark blue vest that covers a white blouse, exposed upper arms and black gloves; the entire outfit has grey borders — some light and at other places, heavy. Her pants have garters incorporated into them. Like all Vice Admirals, she wears the standard Marine jacket that's draped over her shoulder.
As the country's queen, her appearance is equally dignified yet shows a degree of freedom; Ariel notes that it's rather fashionable, with Gen later revealing that it was tailor-made by Oriel Exchange. Her hair flowing down with her bangs covering part of her face, she dons a white fur coat over a white catsuit with a dark blue chest and a pair of heels; her saber is attached to her right side, holstered by a large silver belt. A clear sign of her queendom is a diamond covered tiara worn on top of her head, personally crafted by the country's jewelers.
Personality[]
- "You have one of two options: surpass your limits and hope you survive this fight or quietly surrender to you inevitable fate and be judged in the court of law. Regardless of your decision, the outcome is rather bleak for you."

Genevieve's austere nature.
As one of a noble lineage, Genevieve is known to be a responsible individual — one who carries out her duties and roles without fail; over the course of her life, both her lineage and her various positions have shaped her personality and outlooks on life itself, distancing herself from most nobles who have a narrow-minded view. This makes Genevieve a focused yet flexible individual, capable of achieving far more than those of her kind; this is clearly seen when she takes up the mantle of Oltissia's interim queen, despite her current position as one of the Vice Admirals of the Marines — perfectly balancing the two with the help of her subordinates and her subjects.
Being raised in a militia family, Genevieve has been properly raised in a strict environment — putting her duties above herself while learning how to be a sociable person; this, in turn, transformed her into a person who follows protocol, yet can be rather friendly and very experienced in the ways of the world. This is best emphasized by her relationship with her subordinate and current Oltissian princess, Ariel Oltissia. Recognizing the girl's potential to be a ruler, she drills her in a variety of areas — admonishing any moments where she slacks off. Like certain members of various organizations and groups affiliated with the World Government, Genevieve appears to be cold, dignified, and distant, preferring to keep her emotions subdued and speaking in a very high-class, eloquent, almost robotic fashion. As a noblewoman, she has the standard elegance and poise of a lady, and perform various activities standard to one of her position. She seems to keep thing professional between herself and her co-workers but can form relationships with them, a prime example is her relationship with Dahlia K. Simmons — the two have a sister-like relationship, doing things that normal siblings would do with each other. Although she strives to keep her emotions in check, she can be rather hot-headed at times. Once she becomes angry, she drops her dignified ladylike demeanor and loses all restraint — seen when certain individuals blatantly undermine her authority, ruthlessly attacking and demeaning them in various ways.
As both a ruler and general, Genevieve is noted to have excellent leadership and communication skills, being very empathetic to the various plights, elations, and other facets of those serving under her; like most experienced leaders, she's able to identify the various strengths and weaknesses of her underlings, enemies, and infrastructure — utilizing all to her advantage. Though the country is still rebuilding, she was able to regain most of Oltissia's resources lost in the war and rebuild parts of its infrastructure by assessing the damages to not only the country, but also the people — most of whom entered a state of depression as many of their loved ones and livelihood were lost, what's left over, and the country's relationship with neighbouring nations — doing additional assessments of their state of affairs, thus making appropriate plans. Many in Oltissia describes her to be a wise ruler despite her youthfulness, often thanking the heavens for her saving and presiding over the country in its darkest hours.
Like most Marines, she believes in her own brand of justice — Noblesse oblige, citing that it's a noble's duty to utilize their vast powers and capabilities to aid those weaker, as it's the commoner that helped them elevate said noble to their current position. It's for that reason that she's disgusted with the World Nobles who constantly abuse their powers for the sake of their lascivious interest, all while doing so under false pretenses. Typically, she doesn't approve the existence of piracy, harshly taking down any pirate crew that crosses her path and, like the Fleet Admiral, abhors the Revolutionary Army, as they often sow discord wherever they go, regardless if they're doing it for the people, believing in only the cause and not the aftermath.
History[]
- "For all of my life, I've been bound to accountability and responsibility. Much to the popular belief, I didn't have it "easy" like most nobles. No... It wasn't by a circumstance that I turned out like this, it was by my own doing. As one with great power, I was responsible for those under me; the moment I forgot that and ignore the plights of those I reign over, I would've lost all rights to call myself a true noble. That's why I have to be strong, and with your position, I expect you to do the same."

Quotes[]
- (To Ariel) "Must do everything in life with an intention. Performing an action without this key trait is the same as wasting both time and energy — both of which we lack in spades. So always spend your days doing something meaningful, and never be idle nor ignorant."
- (To her subordinates) "If life's taught me anything, it's that balance is required to have a stable community. The World Government, and by extension — the Marines, emphasize too much order, restricting the freedoms of others while contradicting themselves. The Pirates and Revolutionary Army are the opposite; they lack structure and advocate for complete freedom, not knowing the consequences of such ideas. It's rare to find people who openly advocate for both. It's because humanity is stuck on opposite ends; there's no gray area."
- (To herself) "From a single opponent to entire armies, I've conquered all who could oppose me and bent them to my will. Now there's nothing that can stop me from achieving my goals!"
- (To Ariel) "Though I act like a noble, there are times where I wished for a simpler life. However, that can never be so long as duty calls my name."
- (Her catchphrase) "A shorud of white shall fall on this battlefield. Prepare to be smothered under the vastness of blank canvas!"
