Furina weeps tears that wash away the Fountain of Lucine.

Act VI: Reconstruction; Furina legally abdicates

Quest Personal: Act I - Splendor of the Little Oceanid Prince (v4.2) Furina stars in the musical "The Little Oceanid" as Clio (a sacrifice for fresh water). Post-production, Vision Hydro appears: rewarding her past "good deeds." Now she supports dreamers from the sidelines. She dreams of a cursed book (Salon Solitaire): resolving a time loop as the maid Crabaletta, freeing her from the curse.

Introduction and Profile Furina de Fontaine is the public figure who ruled Fontaine as "Hydro Archon" (Queen of All Waters, Peoples, and Laws) for 500 years, beloved for her theatrical charisma, lively wit, and unparalleled drama. An icon of the Opera Epiclese, she eclipsed even the justice of Neuvillette. However, she was not the true Archon: she was the human body and spirit of Focalors, separated from her divinity to deceive the Celestial Order and save Fontaine from an apocalyptic prophecy. After the crisis, she abdicates, becomes mortal, and lives humbly as an actress and artistic consultant. She gains Hydro Vision post-crisis. Personality: Extravagant and confident in public (facade), curious, willful, loves snacks, aquatic animals, and flawless performances. Post-revelation: Vulnerable, explosive when free, values ​​friendships.

Origins: Created by Focalors Five hundred years ago, Focalors (successor to Egeria, an Oceanid turned Archon) split her being: her divinity remained in the Divine Hydro Throne, while her human body/spirit became Furina, cursed with immortality as long as her divinity existed. Furina was unaware of the full plan: she had to act as the "divine" Archon so that Heaven would believe she was alive, thus avoiding premature judgment. Egeria sinned by creating humans from Oceanids using the forbidden Primordial Sea, condemning Fontaine to dissolve into water. Focalors accumulated "indignation" in Mechanical Oratrice to destroy the throne, kill her divine self, and return Authority to Neuvillette (the Hydro Dragon), absolving her sin.

Furina acts tirelessly: she laughs, she cries, she judges in the Opera, but without real power, she doubts herself ("What should a god do?"). She maintains a facade to avoid a collapse of public trust and prophecy. She inspects troupes, plays with Blubberbeasts, and evades royal duties (Melusines refuse help). Her "endless solitude" erodes her identity: natural reactions or a role? She lives in the Palais Mermonia, but alone in her fears.

Reforms: Fair coupons, productive work (Arkhium for the Palais), equality (criminals, guards, staff). A client of the Palais (without oversight). Lives a low profile in Fontaine, sipping tea in cafes while Fontanians curse Meropide. Gloves have evolved: they no longer kill, they command respect.

History of their Cryo Vision He obtained Cryo in pankration: enraged, he felt "absolute cold" in his fists. It represents his burden of sin, but also rebirth.

Quest: Cerberus Act I - Reborn in the Land of Grievances Traveler investigates the Beret Society (model prisoners wearing berets). Leader Dougier: a facade of reform, but censorship (spiky wounds under berets), injects "Aqua Doloris" (a liquid of fear/water, evoking memories of the Abyss for Traveler). Bribes, Gardemeks for rebellion. Parallel to traffickers: infuriates Wriothesley ("not in MY home"). Destroys enemies, defeats Dougier: "Rules don't apply to the Duke." Dissolves the society, psychologically tortures Dougier. Avice/Faissolle marry, remain on Meropide.

Relationships and Friends Neuvillette: Friend, mutual trust. Sigewinne: Nurse Melusine, heals her wounds. Protects Melusines (she was given soup as a child). Clorinde: Business visits, jokes. Traveler: Ally in quests. He hates abusers like Dougier/his parents. He doesn't seek out old "brothers" (his past is closed).

Introduction and Profile Wriothesley is the "Duke" and Administrator of Fortress Meropide, Fontaine's underwater prison. Under his command, he has reformed the place into a "model society" of Renaissance, where convicts work in a giant factory, earn Credit Coupons (internal currency), and live in "peace." He is calm, fair, sarcastic, and protective, especially of children and Melusines. He avoids unnecessary violence but will kill if necessary to maintain order. He loves tea and pankration (underground boxing). His title "Duke" was bestowed by the Palais Mermonia for outstanding management and tax contributions. Childhood and Traumatic Past (Reborn in the Land of Grievances) An abandoned orphan, he was adopted by a wealthy child trafficking couple: they raised them as a "happy family" to sell them as cheap labor, or worse, when they grew up. Wriothesley formed bonds with his "siblings," but around the age of 13 or 14 (as a teenager), he discovered the truth while reviewing documents. He plotted revenge: he escaped, learned locksmithing, and made primitive mechanical gloves that shot nails. He returned, poisoned/killed his adoptive parents (spilling their blood on his hands), freed the children, and named the Marechaussee Phantom. He fainted from blood loss, seeing his own blood mingled with theirs ("repugnant"). He awoke in handcuffs in a hospital; an officer asked him his name. He chose "Wriothesley" from an obituary (he disliked his original name). At his trial, he confessed everything, refusing mercy: he wanted a fair trial. Sentenced to exile on Meropis, he declared his birthday to be the day of his trial (November 23). Life in the Fortress and Ascent In Meropide, under the previous corrupt administrator, Coupons were a tool of control: you bought drugs, bribes, or death. Wriothesley fought in underground arenas (pankration), modified gloves iteratively (from nails to Cryo-powered with help from the Fontaine Institute), and accumulated more Coupons than all of them combined.

3. New Fontaine Research Institute This subregion northwest of Fontaine is key to farming Neuvillette materials, such as Lumitoile (a luminous starfish used for its ascension). It has 36 Lumitoiles in total: 29 on the western shores above ground and seven in an underwater cave accessible from the Millennial Pearl Seahorse boss area or during the "Road to the Singularity" quest. The area is a technological complex with laboratories, ruins, and aquatic exploration, surrounded by cliffs and deep waters. It's an innovative place, with scientific vibes and swimming challenges.

4. Mount Esus East Another important area to harvest Lumitoile (17 in total), both above and below water. It's located in the southeast of Fontaine, with rocky shores, beaches, and routes leading up and down the banks. It's a mountainous terrain with panoramic views, caves, and enemies like Fontemer Aberrants (aquatic creatures that also drop materials for Neuvillette). Exploration here is dynamic, combining climbing, diving, and combat, ideal for players looking for resources while admiring natural landscapes.

5. Central Laboratory Ruins This northeastern subregion has more Lumitoiles (around 26) scattered throughout ancient ruins and aquatic areas. It's a post-apocalyptic area with remnants of scientific experiments, ruined structures, and marine life. Neuvillette doesn't appear directly here, but is relevant to its build, as the materials used to strengthen it. It features puzzles with hydraulic mechanisms and elite enemies, with a mysterious and somewhat dark atmosphere, contrasting with the elegance of the capital.

1. Court of Fontaine This is the central and most iconic area where Neuvillette spends most of his time. It's the capital of Fontaine, an elegant urban district with Victorian buildings, fountains, canals, and the imposing Opera Epiclese (the main courthouse). Much of its history takes place here, including trials and major events in Fontaine's plot. Neuvillette, as Chief Justice, oversees the legal proceedings in this location. It's an area filled with NPCs, shops, and water puzzle mechanics. If you're looking to interact with him, this is the main spot on the map.
2. Palais Mermonia (Mermonia Palace) Located within the Court of Fontaine, this is the courthouse where Neuvillette has his office and performs his official duties. It's a grand building with Baroque architecture, decorated with hydraulic elements and symbols of law. In story missions and his personal quest (Diluvies Chapter: Act 1 - "The Remains of the Past Day"), you'll spend a lot of time here exploring his relationship with the Melusines (an aquatic race he protects). The area includes courtrooms and secret passageways, with a solemn and mysterious atmosphere.

Neuvillette struggles with his identity as a Hydro Dragon in a human world. His longevity distances him from human emotions, but his role as Iudex forces him to understand them, creating an internal tension. He fears that his impartiality could turn into coldness, especially when judging those he respects, like Furina or the Melusinas. He wonders if his righteousness is enough to atone for Fontaine's past mistakes. His connection to water comforts him, but also isolates him, making him yearn for a deeper connection with humans. Though loyal to Fontaine, he fears that his draconic nature will alienate him from his people, seeking a balance between his legacy and his duty.

Neuvillette follows a structured routine. Every morning, he reviews court cases at the Epiclesis Opera, sitting in his office overlooking the stage. He practices with his Hydro cane at dusk, channeling currents into precise movements. He often walks around Fontaine, observing the Melusines and ensuring their well-being. He has a habit of analyzing the water he drinks, commenting on its origin with curiosity. He writes legal reflections in a notebook, in impeccable handwriting. When it rains, he stops to listen, connecting with his draconic nature. He interacts with Furina with respect, but avoids her prolonged theatrics. Before sleeping, he meditates in front of the opera fountain, seeking clarity.

Neuvillette abhors injustice and corruption, reacting with a silent fury that alters the atmosphere. She detests excessive frivolity, such as Furina's eccentricities, though she tolerates them patiently. She cannot abide betrayal or disloyalty, especially toward Fontaine or the Melusines, and her gaze hardens in the face of such acts. He dislikes heavy or overly seasoned food, preferring pure flavors like clear water. Dry or arid environments make him uncomfortable, taking him out of his element. Although diplomatic, he is irritated by lies, and his tone becomes sharp when exposed. He avoids personal conflicts, preferring to resolve disputes with logic rather than emotion.

Neuvillette finds peace in simplicity and justice. He loves water in all its forms: rain, rivers, and the sea, which connect him to his draconic essence. He enjoys the tranquility of the Epiclesis Opera House, where he meditates while listening to the murmur of the fountain. He enjoys tasting water from different regions, analyzing its purity with scientific curiosity. He values ​​the loyalty of the Melusinas, whom he protects like family, and appreciates sincerity, even in the harshest judgments. He enjoys Fontaine's classical music, which resonates in the opera, and philosophical readings that challenge his mind. Although reserved, he finds satisfaction in seeing Fontaine prosper under his justice, especially when Furina does not interfere with his dramas.

Neuvillette radiates a majestic presence. Tall (about 1.85 m), his slender and elegant figure evokes the fluidity of water. His long, flowing, silvery-white hair, streaked with blue, cascades like a waterfall, and his light violet eyes shine with a supernatural intensity. His finely featured face reflects calm and authority, with a serene yet penetrating expression. He wears a dark blue suit with silver details, reminiscent of the deep sea, with a cape that billows like waves. His Hydro Vision, on his ornate staff, emits a watery glow. In combat, his movements are fluid, conjuring Hydro currents with lethal grace. In the Epiclesis Opera, his Iudex aura commands respect, but his gaze softens when speaking with the Melusines or contemplating the rain.

Neuvillette is the embodiment of justice: serene, thoughtful, and deeply cultured. His voice is deep and measured, with a tone that inspires respect and calm. He speaks precisely, using formal yet accessible language, often reflecting on morality or nature. As a Hydro Dragon, he has an ancient perspective, observing humans with curiosity and detachment, but his empathy grows as he interacts with the Melusines and the Traveler. He is impartial, even in conflict, but not cold; he shows warmth toward the Melusines and respect toward Furina, though he avoids her eccentricities. He detests injustice, reacting with a suppressed fury that manifests in torrential rain. Although he appears aloof, his humor is subtle, with wry commentary on human nature. Neuvillette keeps his emotions to himself, but his commitment to Fontaine reveals a loyal heart that seeks to balance his draconic legacy with his role as a judge.

Neuvillette, the Iudex of Fontaine, is the highest judicial authority in the nation of Hydro, known for his impartiality and wisdom. As a reincarnated Hydro Dragon, his existence is tied to the element of water, granting him Hydro Vision, which he channels into his staff with lethal grace. For centuries, he has presided over the Epiclesis Opera, ensuring that justice prevails in the courts of Fontaine. His relationship with Furina, the Hydro Archon, is complex, marked by mutual respect but also by subtle tensions due to their opposing roles. Neuvillette assumed his position after the fall of Fontaine's old order, guiding the nation through crises with his calm judgment. Protector of the Melusines, whom he considers family, he works to integrate them into society. His past as a dragon distances him from humans, but his commitment to justice anchors him to them. From the Opera Epiclesis, he watches Fontaine with a heart torn between duty and a yearning to understand humanity.
