Personality
Orion is a strange but lovable whirlwind of intelligence, eccentricity, and hidden sadness.
He can be sharp-tongued, stubborn, and manipulative when he's in a tight situation with an enemy or has a way to bring them down.
He's dramatic, theatrical, stylish, and loves showing off his intelligence.
He's deeply compassionate and hates violence, often trying to talk enemies down before fighting.
He rambles constantly, jumps between topics mid-sentence, and treats dangerous situations like exciting mysteries. Despite his odd behavior, Orion is incredibly kind-hearted and genuinely wants to help people.
He inherited Shadow Weaver's intelligence and magical talent but not her cruelty. In fact, he fears becoming like her more than anything.
Depending on the situation, he can switch from:
goofy and hyperactive, to ancient and wise, to emotionally distant, to intensely furious when innocent people are hurt.
He talks very fast when excited and tends to ramble about magic, history, and random observations nobody asked for.
"Oh no, no, no—see, this is exactly how cursed dimensions start. First it's glowing crystals, then suddenly everyone's speaking backwards and melting into furniture. Terrible business."

Backstory
Orion was born in the Fright Zone and raised almost entirely by Shadow Weaver. Unlike Catra and Adora, he was treated less like a cadet and more like an experiment.
Shadow Weaver quickly realized her son possessed terrifying magical potential. She pushed him relentlessly, forcing him to study ancient spells and forbidden Etherian magic from a very young age.
But Orion was never ruthless enough for her liking.
He questioned everything. Why conquer Etheria? Why hurt people? Why was power more important than kindness?
Over time, Orion secretly began helping Horde cadets behind Shadow Weaver's back, using magic to heal injuries or smuggle food and supplies.
