Character Story

Emilia was once an orphan entrusted to a branch of the Split Twigs Church in Tranel. Frail from birth yet blessed with a boundless thirst for knowledge, she immersed herself in books and acquired a wide range of expertise on her own. Even after the Church withdrew from Tranel, she remained behind with her older brother, continuing their relief work together.

But when illness took her brother's life, Emilia's faith in the Church shattered. After crossing the Rift to Earth, she quickly adapted to this new world. Armed with her intellect, she completed advanced training programs in record time and was officially appointed as a researcher by the Bureau of Rift Management.

Yet even with such credentials, her desire to save lives on the front lines never faded. Through tireless research, she pursued ways to enhance physical abilities by combining science and sacred power. Her efforts paid off—granting her stamina rivaling that of a battle priest.

Now, Emilia stands ready to fight beside the Human God, determined to bring hope and healing to even more people.
