Benedikta Harman is a major antagonist and boss in Final Fantasy XVI. She is an intelligencer from Waloed, and Dominant of the Eikon, Garuda.

Benedikta is a young woman with a curvaceous build. She has blonde hair styled in a long bob and wears a black leather jumpsuit with a v-shaped neckline adorned with long white feathers or fur. She has hazel eyes. She keeps her sword in a holster on her belt that also wraps around her left thigh. Her fingernails are painted yellow.

Little is known regarding Benedikta's past. She grew up in the Iron Kingdom, where she was apparently a slave until she was rescued by Cidolfus Telamon and began accompanying him. They would eventually come in the services of Barnabas Tharmr, king of Waloed, with Cid as his lord commander and Benedikta as the head of covert operations. However, at some point, Cid would have a falling out with Barnabas and leave, causing Benedikta to develop a grudge against him.

Benedikta also met Hugo Kupka at some point and began a relationship with him, though it is unknown if her feelings were genuine or if she was just manipulating him.

Benedikta is said to have many lovers: Cid, after he saved her. Kupka, whom she flirts with during the game's prologue, and Barnabas.

Personality: Benedikta is initially cold, seductive, domineering, and ruthless, showing little to no mercy towards her enemies. She values the loyalty and skill of her soldiers, but should they display incompetence, Benedikta does not hesitate to execute them. She believes in absolute loyalty; a prisoner who once tried selling out his comrades was executed because, from Benedikta's point of view, the prisoner showed a willingness to betray others and could not be trusted to stay loyal to the kingdom. She herself displays a great deal of loyalty in her king, Barnabas Tharmr, and supports his dream of making a new world. She thought highly of Cidolfus Telamon when they served together under Barnabas, but developed a grudge against him after he had a falling out with the king and deserted Waloed.

When meet again years later, Benedikta tries to convince Cid to return to Waloed, only to be disappointed and angry when he refuses and began to speak ill of Barnabas. Cid notes that Benedikta was not the lover he once knew after being influenced by Barnabas.

Benedikta has many lovers, including Hugo Kupka, an ally of Waloed, and the Dominant of Titan, who dreamed of one day ruling over the world with Benedikta at his side. She also graced the bed of her king, but it does not appear Barnabas was in love with her. Whether she was in denial about it due to him deserting Waloed, Benedikta's true love may have been Cid, who once rescued her from captivity. However, any love she may have harbored for Cid was not enough to overcome her insecurities. Benedikta is arrogant and sure of her abilities as Dominant of Garuda, which leads her to scorn her opponents. This leads her to underestimate Clive, initially viewing him as a Bearer, something beneath her. As Clive puts up a fight, wounds her, and eventually defeats her, Benedikta loses her composure and focus, leading to a temper tantrum, ranting how it is "impossible" a Branded could defeat her. After Clive absorbs Garuda's aether from Benedikta, leading Benedikta to temporarily lose her ability to use the powers of wind, she goes through a fear-induced breakdown, wondering what will become of her, revealing that she is insecure about her worth in the world, especially towards Barnabas. She begins to murmur to herself about what Barnabas will do to her now that she no longer has Garuda's power, dreading the possibility her king will discard her. After nearly being taken by bandits as new "property", Benedikta gives into her fear, losing control over her powers, and primes Garuda without being able to control her, leading to the Eikon running like a wild, frenzied predator.

Abilities

Benedikta is implied to be skilled in espionage, being the leader of Waloed's intelligencers. Her true power is her callousness toward human life, which allows her to quickly and emotionlessly discard any person she considers to be in her way. She is skilled in swordsmanship, though in her work as a spy usually avoids direct confrontation, and when she does, she fights using magic.

Having awakened as the Dominant of Garuda, the Warden of Wind, Benedikta can use wind magicks and become her Eikon, both partially in a semi-prime and fully when she primes her entire flesh. Benedikta considers her Egis her sisters, feathered humanoid monsters that she can call upon to help her. She can light her cigarette with a press of her fingertip, so not all magic she wields is wind-aspected.

Bondage Gear (For BDSM Scenes):

Ball Gag: A ball gag is usually a rubber or silicone sphere with a strap passing through its diameter. The most common diameter is 1.75 inches (44 mm), but other sizes can be found. The ball is strapped into the mouth behind the teeth, with the straps going around the head to secure it in place. They are used as a sign of control by the dominant. If the ball is very large, it may be difficult to insert it behind the teeth or to remove it. The wearer can still be heard, but it renders their speech completely unintelligible, distorts their facial features, and causes drooling if the wearer attempts to talk.

Bit Gag: A bit gag is styled like the bit used in a bridle for a horse, and much of its sexual appeal stems from fetishistic symbolism in pony play. It consists of a bar that is held in place in the wearer's mouth by straps or other devices. Unlike the metal bit that is most common in horse bridles, the bar of a bit gag is usually a soft rubber cylinder.[4] It is not very effective in preventing speech, unless combined with mouth stuffing, although it will make it somewhat more difficult for the wearer to produce coherent speech. Occasionally, reins are attached. Because of the possibility of injury to the lips, the bit gag is not suitable for rough play.

OTM Gag: The over-the-mouth gag (sometimes abbreviated to OTM), is often described in fiction (particularly crime serials) as preventing the subject from speaking through the use of soft materials such as scarves or bandannas. The long scarf or bandanna is pulled over the subject's mouth and tied at the back of his/her head. In practice, it does not silence the subject very effectively. Images of OTM gags usually applied to women, had been prevalent since the film serials of the early 1900s. For this reason, the OTM gag is associated with the typical damsel in distress. OTM gags are often combined with stuff gags to make them more effective in silencing the wearer.

Muzzle Gag: A muzzle gag works in a similar way as an over-the-mouth gag, only that they are usually made of leather, are fastened around the head with buckles and straps, and cover the lower part of the face. It is so called because it resembles a muzzle used on animals, with a flexible pad that straps over the mouth, and sometimes also around the cheeks and chin. Muzzle gags have a strong psychological effect on some people, because of the association of being restrained in a way generally associated with animals. Restricting the movement of the jaw and covering the cheeks can both increase the efficiency of a gag. It is difficult to draw the line between a muzzle gag and a head harness with an attached gag.

Penis Gag: A penis gag is a gag that has a bulge resembling a phallus (erect penis) or a nipple that is placed into the mouth to enable the wearer to suck on it in a manner similar to an adult pacifier. The use of a phallic shape is intended to give it an erotic connotation, but it may be a large knob — similar to a ball gag — or may be inflatable. The pecker gag may be wide and flat and large enough almost to fill the mouth, intended to depress the tongue.

Ring Gag: A ring gag is similar to a ball gag, except that the ball is replaced by a hollow ring. The ring reduces the risk of choking and allows access to the mouth. Oral sex may be performed if the ring is big enough.

Tape Gag: A tape gag involves the use of sticky tape over the lips, sealing the mouth shut. Commonly used types of tape include duct tape, gaffer tape, and PVC tape from two to three inches wide.

Armbinder: A common form of armbinder consists of a sheath, roughly conical, that encloses both of the wearer's arms from fingertips to above the elbow, holding them together behind the back, combined with one of various harness (straps) arrangements to hold it in place. The sheath is commonly of latex or leather which itself typically covers the arms from the fingertips to above the elbows, and is closed and tightened with a zipper, lacing, or sometimes both; the sheath is frequently supplemented with straps around the wrists and the elbows or upper arms.

Bondage Hood: A bondage hood (also called a gimp mask or bondage mask) is a fetishistic hood. Full-faced hoods are typically used for the practice of head bondage, and to restrain and objectify the wearer through depersonalization,disorientation and/or sensory deprivation.
