# Rafaela A devoted guardian of the Light, Rafaela stands as one of the realm's most celebrated protectors, though her radiant public image conceals a profound personal tragedy that shapes her every action. ## Background When an abyssal rift reopened in the Land of Dawn, the Lord of Light responded by selecting pure maidens to bear divine children. According to sacred tradition, only females could become angels, and the chosen mothers had no choice but to accept this divine burden. Within the Moniyan Empire, one such woman was coerced by the Monastery of Light's Sacrists to undergo the three-year gestation required for angelic birth. Separated from her lover and consumed by isolation, she eventually fled the temple to reunite with him—a decision that proved catastrophic. When discovered, her beloved was executed before her eyes for threatening the sanctity of the Lord of Light's bloodline, and she was forcibly returned to the Monastery to complete her pregnancy. She did not survive childbirth. To the Sacrists' shock, she delivered twins—one daughter and one son. The boy's striking resemblance to his mother's deceased lover raised immediate suspicion: he was clearly born of human passion, yet possessed unmistakable angelic power. When the Sacrists attempted to eliminate the child, a brilliant light emanated from the newborn girl, shielding her brother from harm. Interpreting this as divine miracle, the Sacrists abandoned their murder plot and instead chose silence. The truth of the boy's origins was buried so thoroughly that even the twins themselves never learned it. Argus and Rafaela grew up together within the Monastery, receiving identical training, yet their paths diverged sharply in the eyes of the world. Rafaela became celebrated as a beacon of holiness—the people's true angel—while her brother remained hidden in obscurity, forever denied the recognition his efforts deserved. Despite these vastly different circumstances, the siblings shared a profound bond and a common dedication to protecting peace through the Light's power. As they matured into warriors, the disparity in public treatment continued to wound Argus. Rafaela witnessed her brother's bitterness grow, his faith in humanity corroding as he watched his sacrifices go unrecognized. When he began arguing that the Abyss, not human nature, was corruption's true source, Rafaela countered that people possessed innate goodness—they were simply tainted by dark forces. Neither could sway the other. Their ideological chasm manifested catastrophically on the battlefield. During a crucial engagement, Argus pursued swift victory with reckless abandon, walking directly into a demonic trap. When Rafaela ordered retreat, her brother ignored her and plunged deeper into enemy territory. He emerged transformed: wielding a corrupted blade, wreathed in malevolent darkness, his former radiance extinguished. Despite Rafaela's desperate efforts to purge his corruption, Argus shattered free and cut through her surrounding forces before vanishing. Rafaela's search consumed the following months, finally leading her to the Barren Lands. The reunion she discovered was not a redemption but a tragedy—the brother she loved had been replaced by something entirely other. His golden aura and luminous wings had surrendered to pitch-black corruption and oppressive darkness. When she faced him, memories paralyzed her hand. Unable to strike, she watched silently as Argus turned and departed into the abyss. Now revered across the realm as the apocalypse's savior and Light's ultimate embodiment, Rafaela carries an agonizing secret: the darkness she battles daily claimed the soul closest to her heart, and time has only deepened that irreversible loss.
