Faine

Faine was the former trump card of the Slane Theocracy.

Appearance
Faine was described as a woman with an expressionless face, as if she was wearing a mask. She had glass-like cold eyes.

Personality
It is unknown what Faine’s original personality was before her trauma, but from Antilene’s perspective, Faine was a broken woman who was cold and utterly hated her daughter due to being the child of her violator. However since she never killed Antilene, her daughter suspected that her mother had some love for her.

Background
Faine was a God-kin, thus making her a descendant of one of the Six Great Gods.

At one point in the past, she was tricked by the King of the Elves and was captured. Under captivity, Faine was chained and raped by her captor. The forced union resulted in her being impregnated with the king’s child. Before she flag e birth, Faine was rescued by the Black Scripture and returned to her homeland.

After Faine came to term with her pregnancy, the child was named Antilene Heran Fouche. However due to the girl being a constant reminder of her trauma, only grudgingly care for her and constantly put the young Antilene through a strict training regime.

The Ruler of Conspiracy
During a meeting with Six Cardinals and executives of the Theocracy when it was stated that the war with the elves was to satisfy a certain girl’s need to avenge her mother, Faine, some of the members believed it would finally put the girl’s heart at ease. However  a few voiced their disapproval of their predecessors in how they raised the girl to allow her to develop such a personality under the care of her mother.

The Craftsman of Dwarf
The woman was briefly reminisced by the Elf King after dismissing one of his mistresses for annoying him with concerns of the frontline against the Theocracy’s advance in his kingdom.

The Half Elf God-kin Arc
Antilene had a dream of the time when she was raised by Faine. It showcased the woman’s utter physical abuse in what she called training. Nazaire who was present in the memory attempted to distract Faine from further training, trying to use Antilene’s injuries as an excuse to take a break. The housemaid the offered to prepare drinks, though Faine ignored and proceeded to use healing magic on her daughter and resume ‘training’.

Abilities and Powers
Faine was hailed to be the trump card of the Theocracy and was regarded their strongest defender at the time.

From Antilene’s memories, it’s indicative that Faine was a magic caster who had access to healing magic.

Main Equipment

 * Club: In training Faine wielded a club which she used to brutally beat Antilene bloody and crying.

Decem Hougan
Decem raped Faine in order to bear a strong child. Due to her being a strong woman, he admired her. Unfortunately the same is not reciprocated by Faine who no doubts despise the elf for what he did to her.

Nazaire
Nazaire was a subordinate of Faine that acted as her housemaid and cook. Unlike Faine, she acted more as a mother to her bastard daughter and disapproved of the woman’s treatment of Antilene.

Antilene Heran Fouche
Faine never loved her daughter as she found the child born from her rape to be extremely unpleasant. She never provided any words of encouragement to Antilene, called her by her name not celebrated her birthday. The only interaction Faine had with Antilene was the constant beating which Faine called training. Though the older woman could have killed her child, she refrained from doing so, keeping Antilene alive enough to use healing magic to continue her physical abuse.

Trivia

 * Since Faine never called Antilene by her name, she suspects that her mother probably didn’t know her name and maybe that someone else named her.
 * Though not explicitly stated, being the Slane Theocracy’s trump card, she may have been a member of the Black Scripture.

Quotes
