Actions: (Please provide a brief, bulleted list of the actions your character took during the Harbinger Oracle. Feel free to justify your actions and how they pertain to the "mission" the Harbinger gave you, but please keep it short! This can be as long or as short as you'd like, depending on your character's actions!)


👾 Helped with evacuations before the Oracle but on the day of did try to make it early.
👾 In the Exalt Room she tells the others to stay away. This gives poor results with Gen who attacks her. She both insists that she could break him if she wanted but that she won't if he doesn't get in her way. It continues before he skitters away. (Ongoing)
👾 In the dominance room, Rin has to teach the rules of Rock-Paper-Scissors. Skeptical, Nebula trusts she's telling the truth for it to be a lie. This is why you don't trust people folks and why Rin gets pushed in a pit instead. (Ongoing)
👾 Amos and Nebula get trapped in a puzzle room that forces them to work together to get out, but once they're out they're fed up with each other and attack. It ends with both getting out through separate doors.(Ongoing)
👾 In one Hunger Room, Nebula meets Quetz who talks about how soft and comfortable the room looks. Nebula who's hunger is longing for that kind of thing struggles with wanting to stay. But eventually after getting hugged is too overwhelmed and flees.(Ongoing)
👾 In one of the heartache rooms Nebula is forced to handle the loss of the Guardians. Clipped and angry, she struggles against Dimitris responses before managing to overcome it.(Ongoing)
👾 In another heartache room, Link and Nebula meet where the specifics of loss is her sister - Gamora.(Ongoing)
👾 Finds Atsumu in a hunger room and in a longing for acceptance asks for a conversation to see if he's afraid of her. Or by her words, "do i look cool?" Most likely to run away after.(Ongoing)
👾 Meets Regulus in a hunger room while desiring touch. They hold hands and talk for a moment before... (in progress but likely she'll force a hug to sneak her food and run away)
👾 Sees Hayame following behind shadow children and goes to stop her before it's too late.(Ongoing)
👾 Hears Liem's message and initially ignores it. By the end of the Oracle she's found a different resolve and reaches out to him. This ends in Nebula helping him to escape while also winding up in another puzzle room they get out of together.(Ongoing)
👾 In a hunger room faces starvation/hunger with Rudbeckia. (Ongoing)
👾 At the near end of the Oracle she meets the effigy with Gray. Knowing that they are being asked to sacrifice something great to obtain it Nebula decides that the thing the oracle can have are all the times she failed and got back up before - of the memories fighting her sister and the resulting emotions. (Ongoing)


The main take away here is that whereas Nebula did start with the intent of taking the Oracle seriously and did attack each circumstance with her own determination... I OOCly set her up to not confront violent means but have to deal with emotions/concept she views as weakness and struggles with. So to get through she had to confront those and while she faced it head on she did ditch as soon as possible in most cases (or get madge).

But beyond this as Nebula was pitted against others, told she was never good enough (and replaced when she wasn't) etc the feeling the Oracle instilled in her was a lot like the time under her father. So she very stubbornly decided "I will do my damnedest while not compromising the morals I've decided to live by". Which means sometimes she did help when she shouldn't have! Even if it was quick/gruff and in most cases did go off on her own as quickly as possible. At the feeling of being told "what are you willing to give up," she decided she already gave up too much and had hung onto feelings of that kind for too long... Which is why she ultimately decided that she didn't need the Harbinger's judgement :') Her final sacrifice was essentially her version of a "screw you," while giving them up her memories of being forced to fight her sister to 'let go' (not the memories exactly, but the emotions; so while she went for the anger and resentment such things brought her to she won't have any lingering feelings about it which is honestly what she wants! to let go.).
