## History

### Prior to Main Events

A thousand years prior to the events of the main story, Francisca became the Water Witch at some point during the period of the second Eclipse. She was met by Elcrest and was tuned by the Conductor, becoming his ally. Accompanying Elcrest with the four other witches, the Forgotten King Xeno, and Technolomy Veronica, the group would battle the Angels and ascend to the Moon in order to stop the Eclipse by defeating God.

On that fateful day when the group would ascend the Yggdrasil and reach the Moon, Francisca would witness God, in reality the Mother Qualia, afflict Elcrest with a severe strain of negative energies. Xeno sacrifices himself to save Elcrest and, despite their reluctance in leaving him behind, the group is warped to safety by Hilda.

As the afflicted Elcrest suffered and begged his companions to kill him, Francisca proposed she put him into a deep slumber within the waters as means of purification instead; a process that she surmised would take centuries. Against Elcrest's wishes, Francisca elected herself to watch over him as well. In the aftermath of the Eclipse, Francisca would place Elcrest in an isolated forest lake where she would accompany him in his stasis. She would pass away of old age, though not before tying the Water Qualia around Elcrest's neck which would continue protecting and purifying him.

Her action of plunging herself and Elcrest within the waters of the lake would become a folktale to those of Mithra, where it is told a girl who lost her beloved drowned herself in the lake and that disturbing its waters would rouse her spirit.

### Chapter 10 - *The Celestial Hymn*

Francisca appears in Hilda's flashback, as she shows Alto the events that transpired a thousand years prior during the second Eclipse.

Her shadow also appears in Alto's spirit world along with the other past Witches.

When the Tuning Knights search for the dispersed scores of The Celestial Hymn, they discover Francisca's hiding spot at the isolated forest lake on the outskirts of Mithra, where Alto, Lisette, and Hilda had first met. Francisca appears before Lisette in a vision, her spirit having resided in the lake, and bestows the Water Score to her descendant. Francisca requests Lisette protect Elcrest, to whom she now refers to as Alto, and is thanked by her descendant for her selfless sacrifice in protecting the Conductor.
