Biography
Originaly a GUN's communications officer, scientist and mechanic. Topaz worked for GUN for 2 years before meeting 2 younger mobians, Garnet and Onyx, she decided to take these 2 mobians under wing and help them as much as possible eventually taking on somewhat of a motherly - older sister role. The three came to work as a very successful team, becoming one of GUN's best, until one day when it all fell apart. After a failed mission resulted in Garnet suffering extreme brain damage along with a large amount of phsical damage and Onyx was presumed dead topaz left GUN without a word.

a year later Topaz is now living under the name Flare, she lives in a small town, has a job and tends to avoid contact with other, prefering to be alone while she grieves. when all too soon her peaceful grieving stage is interupted by GUN showing up try to track someone down and though they didn't personally have anything to do with her they're sudden appearence was making it a lot harder for her to get over the event of her past life. Deciding she wanted them out of town ASAP she began researching why they were in town/ who they were after so she could dispose of them or hand them over whichever got GUN out of town. after a large amount of research she managed to find they were after some hired gun under the alias Agate known for causing trouble. deciding merely disposing of Agate would do Flare managed to track her down only to find the Rabbit looked familiar and in her shock left an opening for Agate's escape.

Researching into it more she eventually came to discover Agate to be Onyx and is now working on tracking her down for a second time. Her motives for doing so aren't exactly clear even to her, after all she thought onyx dead, left everything behind because she felt ashamed of herself for not being able to protect them, couldn't bring herself to face anything from that time period when she knew them and lived in self hatred for a year only to discover one faked their own death and couldn't even drop a hint that they were okay.

sonic and co.
flare met sonic and a few of his friends while researching more into Agate's past, outside of gaining information on Agate she has no use for them and as such couldn't care less about them, not to say she hates them she just doesn't care about them

Agate the rabbit
though Topaz and Onyx were close enough consider each other family and loved each other as such Flare and Agate are quite different, Flare holds a mixture of emotions towards Agate and can't decide if she wants to beat her into a coma, force Agate to make it up for to her for what she did, force things back to as close as the way they were, lock her away somewhere where she can't get hurt again or never see her again. however no matter what she wants one thing is for sure Agate has no intentions on facing up to what she did or the wratch of her abandon team mate

Garnet the Hedgehog
being just as close as Onyx and Topaz, the three were like family, Topaz considered herself resposeable for him and as such greatly hated herself. though she doesn't visit for many reasons she does pay for his care as well as donating a bit extra to those caring for him

Teams
the only team Flare has been on is team 27 with Agate/Onyx and Garnet

Skills, Abillities, Fighting style and weapons
In the past Topaz wasn't one for fighting prefering to walk field agents through by hacking security cameras and such, she has the ability hydrokinesis which she originally only used for stuff such as removing water from eletronics and throwing cold water over garnet or onyx when either of the two chose to sleep at an inconvenient time.

after loosing onyx and garnet however Topaz, now Flare, became much more cold, having no problem "disposing" of anyone who held a heavy threat towards that and maiming those who held a minor threat, no longer letting guilt hold her back.

she takes an approach opposite of Agate rather than sneaking up from behind taking them down and avoiding hand to hand combat Flare prefers Hand to Hand combat so that she make eye contact with the person before finishing with them, not for there reaction but so they can see her's and the fact that she doesn't care or regret what she's done, hopefully the victim isn't stupid enough to try anything again

as for her hydrokinesis she still doesn't use it for fighting but when someone isn't co-operating and with holding information she'll use it to torture the informations out doing stuff such as drowning them, extremely dehydrating them (by taking water out of their body) and over hydrating them

for weapons Flare uses a bo when maiming and a dagger when killing

Trivia

 * neither Flare or Topaz are her birthnames but Flare is her current "legal" name (legal being questioned)
 * Flare was the one that taught Agate how to start a new life (making fake IDs and such). despite this she refuses to acknowledge that Agate is no longer Onyx and still refers to her by the latter
 * her only reason for working a job while grieving was to send money to Garnet
 * she has a slight barely noticable british accent
 * similar to Agate she dies her fur/spikes, unlike Agate she doesn't start doing this till living as flare (also unlike Agate she doesn't go all out and change the pattern and style as well instead choosing only to change the colour)
 * she could still be seen as somewhat of a mother figure however an abusive and dangerously controlling one
