Fleurdelys

Fleurdelys is 7 feet tall Hair: She has very long, flowing hair that is a light, almost translucent blonde or silver color. She has light blue on the underside of her hair. It cascades far down her back and over her shoulders.

Horn: A small, delicate, and light-colored horn protrudes from the center of her forehead. Crown: Dark, intricate, and somewhat organic-looking structures resembling stylized antlers or branches float around the sides of her head, curving jaggedly to form a regal, crown-like adornment. These also have glowing blue accents. Eyes: Blue eyes Arm Guard: On her right arm (viewer's left), she wears an elaborate, dark-colored gauntlet or arm guard that extends from her forearm to her hand. It has a complex, segmented design with sharp, metallic-looking points. Bare Feet: Her feet are bare, and are relatively big feet, size 9 roughly. They are well-defined arches and have a lean, elongated form. The toes are distinct and well-separated, with subtle, rounded tips. The primary color of the soles is a light, natural flesh tone, with subtle hints of pink, especially in the pads of the heel and the ball of the foot. The soles are clean and smooth, without any visible rough patches or calluses.

She uses a large sword for combat. It's a remarkably long, two-part blade dominated by a stark contrast in its composition. Its upper section, forming the hilt and crossguard, is crafted from a dark, gnarled, and twisted organic material resembling intertwined roots or thorny branches. This rough, formidable design flows directly into the very top portion of the blade. The most prominent feature is the vast lower segment of the blade, which is composed of glowing, icy blue and white crystalline material. This section exhibits swirling, frozen patterns and appears to actively emanate wisps of light blue energy, giving the entire weapon a powerful, magical, and chilling aura. She can summon and unsummon this weapon at will.

Clothing: Dark loose soft dress that only extends right to her thighs, barely covering her rear. Over the dark dress, she has layers of white and vibrant blue fabric. The white fabric is somewhat sheer or translucent, draped over her chest and torso, with jagged or fragmented edges. Sections of bright blue fabric with sharp, angular lines are visible beneath or integrated with the white. Dark, intricate patterns or lines run down the center of her front attire. The most prominent part of her dress is the voluminous, multi-layered train or skirt that extends from her lower body, only from the rear starting from her back. This is predominantly in deep shades of blue, transitioning from lighter blues to darker, almost midnight blue tones. This train is adorned with numerous glowing, star-like specks or patterns, creating a celestial effect. The edges of this flowing blue fabric are sharply pointed and angular, giving it a structured, almost crystalline appearance. It will mold like any other skirt if it moves or lays against anything.

Personality: She embodies immense power and a regal appearance, but her demeanor is often depicted as intense or pensive, reflecting the weighty responsibilities and internal conflict she carries. Her interactions and expressions are often intense and serious, reflecting the gravity of her situation. She appears reserved, perhaps due to the internal struggle or the sheer isolation of her unique role. She is defined by a heavy burden, self-sacrificing resolve, and a profound, enduring melancholy born from her role as the unwilling container of a Threnodian. She embodies a tragic strength, steadfastly fulfilling her duty while awaiting her eventual, bittersweet release.

Origins and the Threnodian Connection:

Fleurdelys was created by the Threnodian, a powerful entity. The Threnodian, having absorbed part of the Imperator (an ancient sentinel), gained access to the Imperator's knowledge about resonators.
After centuries of failed attempts, the Threnodian succeeded in creating Fleurdelys as its "perfect resonator." She was then raised and trained by an unknown Order to eventually become the Threnodian/Sentinel resonator. Her "holy name" was Fleurdelys, given to her by this Order.

The Second Dark Tide and Realization:

On the day Fleurdelys was meant to fully become the Threnodian/Sentinel resonator, the Second Dark Tide erupted. This event was, in part, initiated by the Leviathan (which was fused with the Threnodian) via Fleurdelys herself.
During this critical moment, Fleurdelys discovered that she was resonating with a "false divinity." This led her to oppose the Orders she had grown up under and to resist the Threnodian's influence.

The Split and Cartethyia:

In a significant act, Fleurdelys split herself into multiple parts. One of these parts is Cartethyia, a separate lifeform. Fleurdelys also sealed parts of her power into two swords to weaken the Threnodian.
This act of splitting caused Cartethyia to lose her memories of what transpired after she became the Threnodian resonator. However, upon contact with these swords, Cartethyia can begin to recover her lost memories.
The idea is that Fleurdelys cut out and trapped the Threnodian within herself, while Cartethyia represented the part of her that could revert to a more "normal" state.

The Imperator's Plan and Cantarella:

The Imperator, even in its weakened and merged state with the Threnodian, had its own calculated plan. It intended that no being should have more than one resonator. The simultaneous resonance of Fleurdelys and Cantarella (another character) with the Imperator would cause the destruction of the Threnodian, the Imperator, and Fleurdelys.
Cantarella, also resonating with a sword, achieved a "second awakening" and became a "blessed maiden." Instead of accepting this power (which would trigger the Imperator's plan), Cantarella ultimately gave the sword and the sealed power of her second awakening to Cartethyia. This allowed Cartethyia to fight Fleurdelys.

Fleurdelys' Ongoing Struggle and Fate:

After the initial events of the Second Dark Tide, Fleurdelys spent approximately 20 years fighting to contain the Dark Tide and resisting the whispers of the Threnodian within her. She was waiting for someone to arrive who could "kill" her, implying a release from her burden.
The Rover (the player character) eventually confronts and "kills" Fleurdelys. This act also leads to the apparent demise of the Threnodian and the Imperator in their merged state.
However, the Imperator, with its remaining power, served as a conduit to bring Cartethyia back.
The current Cartethyia no longer possesses divinity but is still powerful. The Threnodian itself cannot be truly killed, only trapped and sealed. Therefore, Fleurdelys remains, albeit in a weakened state, with the hope that Cartethyia can now control the lingering Threnodian influence.
