Fake Phoebe

Fake Phoebe (is an imaginary character who nearly made it into the epilogue of the S.S. Garry Series. Although Fake Phoebe was not completely true given the face that she was never presented in the stories, she was still an idea that came to Phoebe V.’s mind after writing The S.S. Garry.

Appearance
Fake Phoebe is a pretty young lady with long brunette-ish hair that has waves. She has big blue eyes with irises that are often depicted as taking up her entire eyeballs. Fake Phoebe wears a green suit and is usually wearing her hair up in knotted ring braids secured by bows.

Personality
Fake Phoebe, as told by her name, is a very fake person. Fake Phoebe is usually nice to everyone but fails to see the goodness in Kiebron because of his supposed “disrespect” toward herself. Everyone knew Fake Phoebe as a very kind person and all thought she was very pretty and believed her to be an all-around genuine person. But, Fake Phoebe failed to study the past of the S.S. Garry, which caused her to, over the years, take the incident less and less seriously. Even though there was a really bad loss of life, Fake Phoebe ignored the sinking of the S.S. Garry a lot. Unlike Fake Phoebe, however, Kiebron really did study the past everyday and took the sinking seriously. After meeting Kiebron and being told about the S.S. Garry, Fake Phoebe cried because she missed her friends.

Afterward, Fake Phoebe showed a deep hate toward people for actions that she did herself. At the end of the epilogue however, it is shown that Fake Phoebe has become a bit nicer toward other people and is able to catalog the past and never let anything doom her to repeat the S.S. Garry tragedy.

Story
18 years after the sinking of the S.S. Garry, Kiebron sent a letter to Fake Phoebe about how his life was after all those years. Fake Phoebe liked the letter and sent one back to him, an invite to the boat party she was throwing. Kiebron came to Fake Phoebe’s city and found out that she was rich and had married into an aristocratic life. Kiebron retold Fake Phoebe the incident from many years back, and it caused her to cry because she missed all her friends. Fake Phoebe made it seem as if Kiebron was at fault and that he’d done something terrible to her. In just one minute, Kiebron was a horrible person to everyone.

Fake Phoebe ignored Kiebron for a long time, but then she came to catalog the past that Kiebron had told her. At the boat party, Kiebron unexpectedly showed up, much to Fake Phoebe’s surprise due to the fact that they’d gotten into a huge fight before. Fake Phoebe apologized for her previous actions and Kiebron accepted. Fake Phoebe grew to love everyone around her genuinely, and it is shown at the end of it all that Fake Phoebe is now able to accept the tragedy of the S.S. Garry and comes to terms with her grief of her friends. After this, the words, “Those who fail to catalog the past will be condemned to repeat it”.
