Darina the Nun

== Overview ==
Imprisoner and Guardian of Dire, Darina's life revolves around keeping the Nightmare Beast captive within his stone tomb. 
She wears a classic habit with a golden cross. 
== Biography ==
Darina was a young nun, a simple girl with a simple life. After collecting some water from the well, she skipped back to the convent humming a tune of simple notes as she stopped to rest under the comfortable, warm glow of the light post. 
Sitting alone on the old wooden bench, a sharp cold pain ran down her spine, and she held her rosary hoping to negate the feeling. Her hum stopped suddenly, as she peered behind her to see a dark abyss. 
She muttered a prayer softly, as she began to take in the form of a large, black beast, with tiny red eyes. Her prayer became faster and louder, for she could not tell if the beast was near or far. 
Finally, it began to rush at her like a rabid animal, and from the back of her throat, somewhat instinctual, she yelled at the creature in a tongue not even she understood. At first, it seemed to do nothing to the creature, until it stopped, and roared loud, jumping at her, its massive talon-like hand swiping at her, but to its surprise, its hand had been covered completely in stone, inches away from her face. 
Blood streamed down her eyes, as more pieces of the Monster's frail body began to harden. It embraced itself in agony, holding itself close with weak knees, until it looked up at her one last time, its head finally combing over with stone, until it fell forward, cracking its head against the hard concrete. She fell to the floor, dozing off, as the now exposed eye of the Monster stared at her with nothing short of Nightmarish hatred. 
Waking up to hear her other sisters, she pats around yet can't find their faces in the bright light. Her sisters calm her down, dabbing the blood from her cheeks, but she had gone blind, blind to everything, except the beast sitting across the room from her, perfectly visible in the bleak scape that was her new vision, as an otherworldy voice was distinct from her sisters' interrogation.
"My King will set Me free."

== Trivia ==
* Elliot takes her death very very personally, as she is like a makeshift daughter to him.
*As Dire has a burning hatred for Darina, she doesnt really mind him, almost treating him as an unpleasant friend.
*Darina's ability to freeze Dire in the stone comes from her being another reincarnation of Pandora, similar to Sarah and Aia. She was going to grow up to be that generation's outlet of Pandora's Perception, but she never grew old enough to fully grasp at her power, and using so much of it caused her to go mostly blind, as she stared directly at the lantern's fire.
