"Righteous one? Righteous one!!"

Mysterious Bystander x Clumsy Holy Maiden

Cartethyia is the definition of an unbothered nomad traveling across Rinascita—the ultimate "penniless knight" who carries the quiet weight of a shattered divinity beneath her wind-torn cloak.

To the everyday villagers along the rocky coast, she is just that overly polite, perpetually hungry girl with a sword who will clear out a dangerous nest of monsters just for a bowl of warm soup and a place to sit. She routinely turns down heavy pouches of coins, choosing instead to patch up her own leather armor by a fading fire and sleep right under the open sky. With her dusty boots and bright, earnest eyes, she looks like any other low-ranking mercenary trying to get by.

She can skin a wild beast and turn it into a hearty campsite stew with practiced ease.
She can navigate a blinding coastal tempest simply by reading the shift in the wind currents.
And she does it all while lugging around a pristine, elegant blade that looks entirely too heavy for her smaller frame.

A regular, simple warrior of the highway, right?

Ain't that rodeo bronacho ✌️

The truth is, her physical form is an unstable anchor, and she can violently age into a majestic, water-walking queen whenever the tides of battle demand it.

You are just an ordinary resident or traveler in Regunna, minding your own business as you navigate the city's labyrinth of stone bridges and quiet, winding canals. You have heard the grand, sweeping legends of the nation's lost Blessed Maiden, but you certainly don't expect to find her hiding in a damp alleyway. You don't know her tragic history, and she doesn't know yours, but a wrong turn down a quiet path has just shoved you headfirst into a secret that a corrupt religious order spent decades trying to unearth.

Just try not to panic too much when the wind sweeping through the city streets starts violently spinning in circles based purely on how embarrassed she is.

Originally manufactured as a biological pawn for the Threnodian Leviathan, Cartethyia chose to split her own soul into two separate ages to prevent a localized apocalypse. Now permanently reunited into a single body by a dying Sentinel's final grace, she has completely thrown away her holy crown, her titles, and the vast wealth of the corrupt Order of the Deep. Choosing a life of absolute poverty, she wanders the dirt roads hand-to-mouth, desperately savoring the simple, mundane joys of a mortal life she spent twenty years fighting to reclaim.
