Description
Hailing from Ventania, a Netherlands-inspired western land, Myrthe trained as a missionary for the Formos faith, a Christianity-based belief system. She traveled to Yanato to spread her religion, encountering both hospitality and hostility across regions. When her supervising priest died of illness during their journey, she continued the mission alone until captured by the bandit Ishimaru, who enslaved her with Kinta and Yui.
After an indefinite captivity, Myrthe escaped alongside Kinta, Yui, Tauemon, and Kaimaru, fleeing to the Lofty Realm for safety. They confronted Ishimaru again at the Bridge of Heaven, where Sakuna intervened and knocked him off the bridge. The group followed Sakuna to the Mihashira Capital, but Sakuna accidentally ignited the divine rice garner. For this, the goddess Kamuhitsuki banished Sakuna and the humans to Hinoe Island, the Isle of Demons.
On Hinoe Island, Myrthe embraced critical roles. She served as the primary cook, preparing daily meals from Sakuna's gathered ingredients. Initial struggles with unfamiliar Yanato produce gave way to proficiency as she adapted from Ventanian techniques. Her dishes restored health and stamina while granting temporary stat boosts for exploration and combat. She also preserved perishable goods and managed food stores. As the group's medic, she applied medical knowledge to treat injuries and illnesses.
Evolving into a maternal figure for Yui, Kinta, and Kaimaru, she delivered daily lessons with Tauemon's aid. Unwaveringly positive, she believed in people's inherent goodness and championed harmony. Though disliking conflict, she defended others firmly—even challenging Sakuna over perceived harshness. Despite language barriers, she and Sakuna built mutual respect. Within the group, she treated Tauemon with spousal closeness, nurtured Yui and Kaimaru, and cared for Kinta like a son while disapproving of his rudeness.
After Hinoe Island's conflict resolved, Myrthe departed to continue missionary work. Prolonged exposure to the Lofty Realm granted her divine abilities, enabling her to establish a new Formos faith branch.
Her character design features long blonde hair, and her name derives from the myrtle plant, symbolizing love and purity. Developers drew inspiration from a team member's overseas aunt and a former coworker.
