🥀 CHARACTER
NAME: Furiae
CANON: Drakengard
CANON POINT: Post Chapter 11 - Verse 3 - Falling Petals
AGE: 19
BACKGROUND: Available here.
A heavenly youth spent together and with their friend Inuart, teenage royal siblings Caim and Furiae’s parents are killed by a black dragon in the service of The Empire. Ashamed and all the while concealing her romantic interest in her brother, Furiae’s future as Inuart’s to-be bride as well as her time with Caim is sacrificed when she is bears the mark of the next Goddess of the Seal and obliges its duties in order to prevent throwing the world into chaos. As The Empire breaks each seal one by one in order to release The Watchers onto the world, Inuart, jealous of Furiae and Caim’s bond, surrenders himself to The Empire and kidnaps Furiae, bringing her to the Sky Fortress. The Empire’s high priestess, Manah, channels The Watchers and, able to see them through this deity, reveals Furiae’s innermost feelings to Caim, who has just come to try and save her. Humiliated and terrified by the thought of Caim’s disgust and abandonment, Furiae ends her own life and tells Caim not to look at her as she dies.
PERSONALITY:
A mild-mannered princess raised within a very controlled but also luxurious environment, Furiae’s sheltered upbringing, strong societal gender role, and limited exposure to outside influence inhibits her understanding of the outside world. Prior to the tragedy in which both Furiae’s parents and kingdom, Caerleon, are lost, Furiae is cheerful in personality, often inviting herself along into spending time with her older brother, Caim, and his best friend, Inuart (who would later become her fiancé). In all depictions of Furiae’s life prior to the fall of Caerleon, Furiae possesses a fondness of flowers, gentle curiosity and adoration to the point of clinginess towards Caim. Furiae exhibits nurturing compassion and humility; in the Shi ni Itaru Aka manga adaptation, she maintains a close friendship with a housemaid close to her in age despite class differences and is quick to take strangers into the castle after they’ve saved her and said housemaid from danger.
For as long as she can remember, Furiae has always possessed a bottomless, deep love of Caim. Her greatest fear in life is to be separated from him by any means. In the Judgement manga, young Furiae is even shown not to understand the taboo of her feelings until she lets her mother know of her interest in Caim prior to a coming of age virginity ritual. She doesn't at all up until that point suspect her mother’s disgusted rejection. This reflexive repulsion in her mother is likely what makes Furiae realize she must hide her feelings from the world (though pure as they are in her own heart, they are seen as unnatural and sickening to those around her) in order to avoid the same reaction in echoing in the future.
As Furiae comes to mature, from then on, does both what she must to please others, and does what is expected of her from the people around her. Extremely submissive and overconcerned with not being a burden to other people, her mental stability and self-worth greatly depend on whether or not she can maintain the equilibrium of social harmony, or on other’s opinions of her. From the manner she accepts the role of The Goddess of the Seal with an empty smile of “her own volition” despite privately resenting the life she must agree to in order to oblige the title, to not wanting to put out the elven villagers by claiming sanctuary in their neutral territory, to even her agreement to be engaged to Inuart, many of Furiae’s decisions are made on the basis of accommodating the feelings of those around her and often relinquish herself of control, or even opportunity to be selfish.
Selfishness to Furiae is seen as ugliness. Whether it’s been drilled into her by royal and medieval influence (subservient role of a woman to a man, to think of her kingdom before herself) or otherwise, Furiae has learned to repress, restrain and bottle every part of herself that may result in conflict or provide her an opportunity to live the life she truly desires. As her most passionate desire is Caim himself, Furiae is taught that her innermost self is dirty and disgusting, the opposite of the demure and pure femininity that others see of and want for her. Excluding Caim and Inuart (and even these two perpetuate the latter image to an extent), it has been ingrained into Furiae that her worth in life is only as much as her ability to fill a role. And so, Furiae is obsessive, hyper fixated on keeping up the image of purity while always knowing that she isn’t.
“Don’t look at me.”
—Furiae’s final words
A life of constant dishonesty in combination with the isolation required to maintain the seal as the goddess has left Furiae tired with certain indifference towards even the potential ending of the world as it takes its toll on her body. The treasured days of her youth as a princess with Caim and Inuart lost to a secluded tower of only the bare minimum living amenities, by the timeline of the game itself, Furiae can almost hardly be considered alive. What keeps her going is her love for Caim, a quiet, hidden candle always burning in her chest. As long as she knows that her older brother is out there somewhere, loving her even if only in a familial way, Furiae trudges on with graceful diligence.
Though she never speaks of her feelings, Furiae unintentionally strains the friendship between Inuart and Caim by driving a rift between them via her unspoken love of Caim. Completely unaware that Inuart’s “friendly” rivalry in part is darkly rooted within his desire to take Furiae from Caim for himself, while Furiae is fond of Inuart, she always sees him (as does everyone else) as second to her brother. Despite their engagement, Furiae doesn’t realize just how much Inuart loves her and is unaware of how the subtleties of her full-heartedness in regard to Caim drive Inuart deeper and deeper towards desperate means of gaining respect and her attention.
It’s Furiae’s love for Caim that undoes not only Inuart but also herself. After the Watchers reveal her secret feelings to Caim and he looks away from her upon hearing her true, unfiltered thoughts, the weight of her shame and the emptiness of a life lived for him and everyone else around them prove to be too much for her, and Furiae’s unchecked self-loathing and disgust push Furiae to end her own life.
POWERS/ABILITIES:
Furiae serves as The Goddess of the Seal, and has thus been bound by the priest Verdelet to carry the burden of her world's time, space and dimension on her shoulders. She is the final seal that prevents her world from falling into chaos. While goddesses do not outwardly use magic and endure excruciating pain due to the Mark of the Goddess and the burden of the role, their power is revealed in Drakengard 2 able to be forged by a master blacksmith into powerful weapons called Seal Weapons, capable of destroying gods.
On another note, she is probably great with table etiquette, maintaining good posture and other princessy things that princesses excel at.
INVENTORY:
-Dagger
MOONBLESSING: Sanguis.
