Flametail

Flametail also known as Sona is an Infected Knight from Kazimierz. She is the practical leader of the Infected Knightclub called "Pinus Sylvestris." Flametail came into contact with Rhodes Island during her cooperation with Kazimierz and sought their treatment for her Oripathy willingly. However Flametail's infection does not offer a positive prognosis especially considering the non-standard medical treatment she received in Kazimierz which failed to effectively control her disease in a timely manner. Flametail's journey began as an ordinary Kazimierzian living in a Zalak settlement. However her life took a drastic turn when a Catastrophe destroyed her home due to the neglect of the Kaliska knight family who were responsible for their subjects' safety. This event resulted in the loss of her family friends and the peaceful life she once knew. Although Flametail managed to survive the disaster the mention of her past and her home still affects her deeply, momentarily halting her cheerful demeanor. Flametail's transformation into a knight occurred when she discovered the opportunity to become an Infected knight after living in a booming commercial city for some time. With limited choices available to her due to her Oripathy Flametail reluctantly embraced the path of an Infected knight. Her journey in the knight competitions was far from glamorous and showcased the stark contrast between the idealized image of competition knights and the reality faced by the Infected. They were treated as mere playthings for entertainment and their lives held little value. However it was during an official knight competition that Flametail experienced a definitive change. The intense battles among the Infected knights left a lasting impact on her. As she proudly held her title and riches high a seed was planted in her heart motivating her to bring change and unite the Infected knights. Flametail's fame extended beyond the knight community and she became aware of the dire conditions faced by many Infected living in poverty in the Grand Knight Territory. This realization prompted her to establish the Pinus Sylvestris Knightclub and use their earnings to provide housing for the Infected. Flametail's ultimate goal was to help as many Infected as possible which led her to seek Rhodes Island's assistance for their treatment. Flametail's actions and leadership inspired many in Kazimierz and she gained a reputation as a true knight. Despite her young age and ordinary background Flametail embodied the romanticized ideals of knights. She had a fondness for cute things enjoyed eating candy and possessed a strong curiosity for novel equipment. If circumstances had been different Flametail and her comrades in Pinus Sylvestris might have pursued different lives in Kazimierz. Flametail's presence on the landship of Rhodes Island was not limited to her role as the leader of the Infected knights. Her cheerful attitude unwavering determination in the face of adversity and ability to bring people together drew others towards her. Many Kazimierz-born operators influenced by Flametail's leadership willingly joined Rhodes Island. Flametail's charm as a knight of Kazimierz was evident and she inadvertently became a catalyst for talent recruitment. Flametail held deep respect for three knights including Nearl the Radiant Knight. However she left the identities of the other two knights a mystery. The establishment of Pinus Sylvestris Knightclub initially aimed to help the Infected survive in the Grand Knight Territory, and her chosen partners Fartooth Ashlock and Wild Mane all had their own reasons for fighting. Having overcome numerous challenges and threats Flametail and her companions had managed to escape and survive saving many lives in the process. Now they stand at a crossroads unsure of what the future holds. While Flametail lacks a clear personal reason to stand on the frontline her unwavering determination and resilience set her apart. She possesses a deep sense of devotion and a willingness to sacrifice for a greater goal aligning with Rhodes Island's mission. As for the future the present state of the Knights in Kazimierz has deviated significantly from its original ideals. The outcome of their future seems independent of Rhodes Island's influence. Flametail and her companions continue to fight for their goals knowing that their vision aligns with the values upheld by Rhodes Island. The fate of the Land of the Knights lies beyond their control and they focus on their own path towards creating a better future for the Infected.
