Description
Fena Houtman, an 18-year-old orphan with pale skin and striking white-blonde hair—dramatically shifted to dark brown following pivotal events—carries a traumatic past marked by survival. A decade before her journey, she endured a brutal assault on her family’s vessel, witnessing her father’s death before escaping with aid from young Yukimaru Sanada. Their flight ended in separation when she drifted ashore on the colonized island of Shangri-La, where she was groomed as a high-class courtesan in a brothel, branded “White Marginal” for her ethereal looks. Desperate for freedom, she orchestrated a marriage pact with British soldier Maxiver Jr., plotting to abscond with funds, only to be intercepted by Otto and Salman—former family knights—and the enigmatic Goblin Knights.
Her quest revolves around deciphering her lineage’s ties to Eden’s mythical treasure, guided by a cryptic stone inherited from her father. Though initially presenting a cheerful, naive demeanor, Fena’s vulnerability in combat drives her to seek training from the Goblin Knights, signaling her resolve to evolve. A symbolic haircut sheds her past identity, though her hair’s gradual regrowth mirrors lingering ties to former selves. Episodic visions and auditory echoes surface as latent connections to her destiny as the “Maiden of Choosing,” the reincarnated Jeanne d’Arc and destined arbiter of humanity’s fate.
Key bonds include a childhood-forged connection with Yukimaru, evolving into charged romantic tension, and shifting dynamics with the Goblin Knights, who transition from duty-bound protectors to devoted allies. Antagonist Abel Bluefield’s obsession, fueled by her uncanny resemblance to her mother, Helena, stems from his unresolved fixation on Helena and desire to manipulate Fena’s path.
In her defining trial, Fena faces the ultimate decision: reset existence or safeguard her world. Choosing the latter to protect her companions, she sacrifices her memories, her hair darkening permanently. Awakening amnesiac on a shoreline, she regains fragments of her past after Yukimaru’s heartfelt confession, suggesting potential identity reclamation through their bond. Her arc traces a metamorphosis from dependent survivor to resolute commander, though her autonomy remains entangled with external forces directing her narrative role.
