Secily Iopara is a secondary troll in Vast Error. Her associated alchemic sigil is Talc.

She was first revealed in the February 11th Trollodex reveal, alongside an unknown troll. Her bullet points were:

• never forgets a face
• you don't want to be on her list
• pessimistic duelist

Etymology

Secily is a variant of Cecily, a real-life name ultimately derived from Latin caecus (blind, dim-sighted). Iopara possibly comes from Iopara Inc., a wind turbine company.

Personality and Traits

Secily is cold, calculated and cynical, harboring some very pessimistic views on society and its inhabitants. She strives to keep an air of professionalism around her at all times and struggles whenever things aren't under her control. Thankfully for her, she's been in her line of work for long enough that she's gotten very good at keeping things under her control.

Secily's survival ability allows her to recall any face, event or information she has previously learned as she pleases. In Snowbound Blood's narration, this is likened to information being photocopied directly into her mind.

Relationships

Ahlina Robiad

Ahlina was and is perhaps the most important person in Secily's life, as her bonded matesprit before her death. Everything Secily does, she does for Ahlina's sake, whether it's to please her or avenge her death.

Yeshin Laevis

Yeshin is Secily's kismesis. As such, she has a habit of getting under Secily's nerves.

Mshiri Libeta

Mshiri is Secily's moirail, though Secily harbors red feelings for Mshiri. Secily is only known to drop her quirk around Mshiri, who told her in their initial encounter not to play games with her (which led Secily to stop "playing a game" of chess with her quirk). The two met due to Mshiri, as a temporary meditation partner, being assigned to console Secily after the loss of her matesprit. Secily sees a lot of similarities between Mshiri and Ahlina, likely explaining Secily's feelings for her.

Mshiri knows Secily extremely well and can easily read her, despite her cold and guarded mannerisms with others.

Sestro Enthal & Hamifi Hekrix

Sestro and Hamifi are (some of) Secily's superiors. Sestro would like to engage in more casual and personal conversations with Secily if it weren't for Secily cutting him short. On the other hand, Hamifi is just as cold as Secily is when engaging in conversation, and doesn't waste even a sentence on anything other than Secily's direct task at hand.

Secily is mentioned to have practically raised the two, though Secily thinks of them strictly as employers for most of the game. However, when Secily learns that Sestro has entered a weakened state from overexerting himself, she's immediately concerned and questions Hamifi's decision not to call her about it. Hamifi soon after expresses that Secily taught Hamifi to not be sentimental nor trustful, but somewhat smiles when Secily admits that she does trust her.

Secily's relationship with Sestro and Hamifi becomes somewhat strained when she learns the truth behind her matesprit's death, despite their lack of actual involvement with the incident, but rather through association. After Secily's conversation with Gerbat, however, she commits to talking things out with Sestro to sort it out.

Oricka Rourst

Oricka and Secily have been friends for a long time.

Necron Exmort

Secily meets Necron during the events of Snowbound Blood in Volume 7, and the two shortly after agree to partner up to track down Noxious.

Trivia

• Her would-be classpect is Knight of Void.
• One of her Trollodex entry bullet points is a reference to Optimistic Duelist, a popular Homestuck theorist
• Her lusus was likely a hummingbird moth, as she states that she hadn't seen one since her lusus died in Oricka's Snowbound Blood route.
• She is canonically trans, as confirmed by the Vast Error official Tumblr. She is also canonically autistic.
• Secily's quirk contains a chess game that is as many moves long as she has prefixes and suffixes in a conversation with somebody. The result of the game reflects Secily's encounter with the person. In almost every instance, she has ended the game in a draw. She has only ended a conversation with a win for white (representing herself) once, when she kills a troll in Snowbound Blood's prologue. It can be assumed that wins represent death.
