Description
Emerging 350 years before key events in Underworld, Quinella was born from a political union between Centoria's influential noble houses. Her father, the town's lord, granted her the unique Sacred Task of Sacred Arts Research, enabling her initial studies. Through meticulous analysis of Sacred Arts command syntax, she formulated her first offensive spell, Thermal Arrow, and discovered terminating living beings increased her System Control Authority. This revelation drove her to nightly animal hunts, accelerating her stat growth and authority level at an exceptional pace.
Leveraging her advanced knowledge, she cultivated a divine image among the populace, positioning herself as a goddess bestowed by higher powers. This facilitated the founding of the Axiom Church and the construction of Centoria's Central Cathedral. She consolidated power by appointing regional lords as nobles, centralizing control over the Human Empire. To prevent others from replicating her path, she codified the Taboo Index—laws prohibiting actions that reduced the Life stat of living beings and enforcing loyalty to her Church.
As her Life stat dwindled with age, she sought immortality. Nearing death, she uncovered a command granting maximum System Control Authority, equivalent to the Cardinal System. This restored her youth, halted aging, and eliminated needs like sustenance. Dissatisfied with shared authority, she attempted to usurp Cardinal's powers but erred in executing a complex command. This failure fused Cardinal's core principles with her Fluctlight, embedding a dual consciousness: a primary process enforcing world regulation and a sub-process seeking error correction. The sub-process deemed her direct human influence a violation and repeatedly attempted to overthrow her during lapses in emotional control.
To suppress the sub-process, she employed the Synthesis Ritual—a Fluctlight-altering technique refined through inhumane experiments on dissidents. Freezing emotions like fear and anger stabilized her dominance. Centuries later, her memory capacity reached its limit, causing lapses in consciousness and recall. To bypass this, she transferred compressed memories to a 10-year-old nun with high authority. The ritual backfired, creating two identical consciousnesses that triggered mutual Fluctlight degradation. Cardinal's sub-process seized the nun's body, leading to a battle where Cardinal retreated to the Great Library Room. Quinella subsequently deleted peripheral memories to free space and delegated duties to Integrity Knights—loyal enforcers created via Synthesis Ritual on rebels and tournament champions.
Her physical appearance featured long silver hair, eyelashes, and eyebrows appearing blue or white under varying light, alongside prismatic silver eyes. She wore revealing attire hemmed with silver threads, projecting an ethereal yet imposing presence.
During a confrontation with Kirito, Eugeo, and Alice at the Central Cathedral's apex, she sustained fatal injuries. To preserve herself, she attempted early transfer to the real world via a hidden console. As a light pillar lifted her, her subordinate Chudelkin immolated himself to reach her, embracing and engulfing them both in flames, resulting in their joint demise.
Non-canon portrayals, such as in *Alicization Lycoris*, lack detailed elaboration in available sources. Posthumous depictions, including a spirit-like apparition cheering for Kirito or meeting Bercouli, remain ambiguous and may represent residual memories rather than actual redemption.
