Operator story: Archetto

From Arknights Terra Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Hildegard, a Liberi of partial Victorian descent, is a nun from the Landen Monastery in Laterano and a member of the Landen Guards. She has traveled across Terra to sell the Monastery's dairy and wine products to prevent its imminent closure due to monetary concerns. Because of this, she often gets mistaken for a traveling businesswoman rather than a devoted nun.

Eventually, Hildegard was brought into the service of Rhodes Island under the recommendation of Emperor and Eurill Pides. There, she operates under the codename "Archetto," making good use of her archery skills courtesy of her mandatory training and experience as the Guard to provide ranged combat support on the battlefield.

Archetto: Idol Promotion

One day, Archetto was walking on a street in Lungmen, when she was scouted by an idol manager. Interested by the prospect of the opportunity to advertise products with the popularity of an idol, she signed a contract with the manager.

Sometime after, the day of Archetto's meet-and-greet and album-signing session has arrived. However, her booth was completely devoid of customers since early morning. After Archetto accidentally napped for half an hour, in which, she dreamt about Landen Monastery's closing and Exusiai's explosive demolition countdown, she and the manager conversed about her lack of popularity. The manager determined that the main reason Archetto didn't have a single fan was that she hadn't delivered the image of a nun to the audience, to which Archetto remarked that she has a qualm about always wearing a persona during the job.

The manager left to find some way to attract customers to her booth, and during her absence, an old lady came to her booth and inquired her about the free bread giveaway that was written on the displayed sign. The bread was supposed to be a free bonus for an album purchase, however, unable to bear to ask the poor old lady to pay, she gave away the bread to her with only a handshake.

The news spread, and as more and more bread was given away for free to the impoverished citizens, a rumor of a Lateran Church charity event spread further, and with it, a bigger crowd flocked to the booth, which was caught by a news reporter who was on scene only to cover an event of a no-name idol. The news coverage subsequently greatly improved Archetto's popularity as a public personality and a nun idol. This allowed her to access more resources for her future idol activity, however, Archetto had decided not to renew her contract as she had successfully promoted the monastery in Lungmen. Before she left the scene though, she accepted MountainDash Logistics's invitation to a concert held by Monster Siren Records. The recording of her idol show in the said concert made its way to Landen Monastery, which gave the clerics new musical-related ideas to promote the monastery.[1]
