Taria

Forbidden Puppet

Stats

A beautiful puppet, crafted in defiance of the world's strongest taboos, and a treasure much coveted by the artisan's devoted fans. Due to its cuteness and beauty, nobody would want to harm it. Should anyone dare, they'd likely face the wrath of the fans long before a certain puppeteer's scissors cut them to pieces. Though looking harmless, the puppet actually serves as a medium for magic casting—underestimating it would be a grave mistake.

Taria is one of the first Caelums to follow Lucifer and found Eutopia. As a masterful puppeteer, she is also a criminal wanted across the Continent for her acts of blasphemy: she once crafted a series of puppets modeled after the leaders of each Nation, including the Lady Saint of the Holy Church and her fellow Caelums. Seen as a direct challenge and desecration of divine authority, it provoked the wrath of both the Church and other leaders of the land. To escape pursuit, Taria hid herself deep in a northern forest shrouded in winter fog, within a puppet workshop concealed by magic. Paying no heed to the strife of the outside world, she devotes herself entirely to her works, consumed by a passion and obsession with beauty. "Puppets never betray, age, and remain at their prettiest moment forever... Isn't that wonderful?"
