**Dianthus** (Japanese: ディアンサス, *Diansasu***?**) is a party character and an Omen, one of the race of people said to be the cause of the deadly Quietus. Their early journey will see them team up with the  Protagonist to investigate the  Fall Seaslight.

## Biography

Dianthus belongs to a group of Omen who oppose  Geist. She is first encountered when you are searching for Aria, who has run off, and temporarily joins your party to help you locate Aria as your goals align with her own.

Dianthus leaves your party after Aria is located, but returns later when Geist's plans are uncovered. When she joins your party later, she reluctantly agrees to help you and provides access to her airship to travel around the land more quickly.

## Appearance

Dianthus is made up of mainly black metal, which is pulsating with purple light. The ‘armor’ she appears to wear is actually her body. Long locks of silver hair flow from a small opening on the back of their helmet.

## Boss Appearance & Strategy

She is weak against Lighting, Crushing, Sage, and Piecing attacks, so it is recommend to have allies with these abilities.

## Attribute Weakness(es)

* Pierce
* Crush
* Lightning
* Sage

## Weapon

**Dianthus's** weapon is known as the  Geo Amplifier. It appears to be a technologically advanced spear with four prominent outward spikes near the tip. It is capable of causing a variety of phenomena by manipulating the environment.

## Personality

**Dianthus** is described as being stoic, but will speak up when the mission requires it.

## Character Story

Dianthus is shown to be stoic and determined in her primary objective, but does not believe humanity is ready to learn the truth she and the other Omen are concealing. She and other Omen consider themselves to be the protector of humanity and to that end, they created the Seaslights and Lewis Castle to ensure this goal would be realized.

## Lines of dialogue

### Main Story

*"That damn Geist. To think he is willing to go to such lengths in his madness... I can't let him continue with his plan...but I'm not going to get far with my armor in this condition."*

##### Help them.

*"Huh? And what do you want? You're offering to help? You do know what I am, right?"*

*"And you're still willing to assist me? Suit yourself."*

##### Ignore them.

*"Hey, you over there. Yes, you. You're probably not interested in helping me, but there isn't really anyone I can ask. Will you at least listen to what I need?"*

##### Refuse.

*"Hmph… I suppose it'd make sense for you not to help an Omen, eh? Well, if you don't help me here, then things will only grow much worse for you humans later. With that in mind, would you still prefer to leave me here?"*

##### Hear them out.

*"A sensible decision."*

*"As you can see, my armor has been damaged. It appears a piece of it was sent flying somewhere. I think I saw it land somewhere in that direction. Would you mind taking a look for me?"*

*"Ah, so you found it after all. Thank you."*

*"For a moment there, I thought I was standing at death's door… Or perhaps "kneeling" would be more apt? Your language still baffles me, what with its idioms and nonsense. Nonetheless, I appreciate your help. I will be sure to repay you. Correct me if I'm wrong, but are you heading towards the Seaslight?"*

##### That's right. I'm looking for someone.

*"The one you're looking for… She must be that Abel girl who passed by here earlier."*

##### Yeah, and you?

*"It is unimportant. I saw an Abel girl pass by here not long before you arrived."*

*"The name Abel confuses you? Ah, perhaps it's best I use the term "human" around you instead? I wasn't able to get a good look at her as she went by… My suit was in a state of disrepair, after all. But the silhouette was definitely that of a human girl. She looked to be in something of a panic..."*

*"So you're following that girl towards the Seaslight?"*

*"In that case, why don't we go together? I know you humans look down upon my kind. We who you call the Omens. But the environment up ahead has grown strange, and I am injured. It would be difficult to proceed alone. Still, you must have some reservations about joining an Omen on your journey."*

##### I don't really know what an Omen is.

*"You have no knowledge of what we are Interesting…"*

##### I have nothing against the Omens

*"Is that so?"*

*"You certainly are an oddity. Moving on. It is in our best interest to cooperate. We will travel together until we reach the Autumn Seaslight. ...I suppose now is usually the time where you humans exchange names, is that right? My name is **Dianthus**. And you are?"*

*"Ein? I have dedicated it to memory."*

*"Now that we have the formalities out of the way, let us proceed. Hostile creatures prowl the area up ahead. It would serve you well to prepare for battle."*

### Ladder cutscene

"What are you looking at over there?"

*"A ladder? I see. If we repair it, this may serve as a shortcut.*

*…*

*I have analysed its condition, and believe it should not take much time to repair, nor any special equipment. I will teach you how to repair it."*

### Meeting Unicorn

*"That structure… What is it doing in such a place? Perhaps… No, it defies reason."*

*"It should not exist in this space… But there's little use in trying to explain why to a human."*

"What a peculiar creature. I didn't know such beings could even exist."

##### …

*"Ein, let's move on. You have that girl to find, don't you?"*

##### Let's just go, Dianthus.

*"Of course, you're searching for the girl. Let us head deeper into the ravine."*

### After the fight

##### Wait, hold on a second!

*"Yes, give us a moment to say our piece. We honestly have absolutely no idea who your princess is, peculiar creature."*

##### Dianthus, you've got to do something!

*"What do you expect me to do!? I know how to handle living things more or less…But a peculiar creature such as th--"*

*"Very well, Unicorn, was it? Please listen to what we have to say. Ein, would you do the honors?"*

##### Would you like to come with us?

*"Ein… Are you sure? If you wish to bring them with us then by all means…"*

##### We can take them, right Dianthus?

*"It isn't really up to me. If you wish to travel with this Cryptid then I will not argue."*

*"I have no problem with that. I'm not sure I completely trust it, anyway. We've wasted enough time… Let's move on."*

### Motus Monolite

*"What is a Motus Monolite doing here, of all places? Did Geist leave it here? Best not to look a gift horse in the mouth."*

##### What does it do?

*"What it does is allow us to improve our search efficiency considerably."*

##### Is Geist a friend of yours?

*"Friend? I wouldn't go quite so far as to use that word…but you're not far from the mark."*

*"You can use this Motus Monolite to travel to another in a different location. I can see your eyes glazing over… Simply put, it will allow you to teleport instantaneously. If I remember rightly, there was one just like this at the entrance to the ravine. Ah, but you cannot use it until you have registered it. And to do that, you will need one of these."*

*"You can use that stone to register a Motus Monolite and make them available for use. You would do well to register any Monolite of this type that you happen across on your journey."*

### Bridge Cutscene

"What is wrong this time?"

*"Ah… Repairing this bridge is necessary in order to reach the other side. But even you should be capable of repairing a bridge of this size. With the necessary tools… Please wait a moment."*

*"You should face no problem repairing a bridge with these repair tools."*

*"It may seem obvious, but repairing anything will require some time. Unlike me, you have a limit to the amount of energy you can exert. Take care when managing your time."*

### Mage Cutscene

*"That monster…"*

*"Wait, Ein."*

*"That monster has a thicker hide that is more resistant to physical impact than the others we have fought so far. We cannot expect our weapons to be of much use against it. But perhaps magic will make light work of it…"*

*"I am. But Ein is not."*

*"It matters because fighting monsters like that without magic is going to eat up a lot of our time… ...or is that okay with you?"*

*"Then would you be so gracious as to teach Ein how to use magic?"*

*"Are you really okay with taking it slow?"*

*"...This is hopeless."*

*"Ein…!?"*

*…*

*"I…do not know either. It would seem that the Monolite weapon studied Unicorn's magic…and changed its owner to match?"*

*"Ein is now able to utilize magic after taking your lecture."*

*"But from the look of them, I cannot imagine Ein made this happen consciously. In which case…"*

*"...Yes, we can. Ein, this must be very confusing to you, but it means your powers have enhanced. It is likely this phenomenon will occur again in the future. It is a good thing. Let's keep moving."*

### FEAR cutscene

*"Stop, Ein."*

*"This is a formidable creature. There is no way we would stand a chance fighting it. It would be best not to get too close, for risk of provoking it."*

##### But we need to get past it.

*"I understand the hurry, but we must be prudent."*

##### Couldn't YOU take it down?

*"It is hard to tell, currently."*

*"For now, that monster has not yet noticed our presence. As long as we keep our distance, we should be able to skirt around any potential conflict."*

##### That's not very impressive at all…

*"If you wish to jump headlong into battle, then I will not stop you. But I cannot guarantee your safety if you do."*

*"In the event that it does notice us, we must do what we can to escape. If we run far enough away, then it should surely give up chase."*

*"Whenever you are ready. I will follow."*

### Meeting Hydolanzer

*"Wait."*

*"Hydolanzer…"*

*"Enough. What are you doing here?"*

*"Step away from it. I wouldn't be surprised if you were the ones behind what is happening."*

*"And that structure… Why is that here?"*

*"What the hell have you done to the Seaslight? What is Geist's plan?"*

*"I suppose I'm just not in as much of a hurry to meet our makers as you are…"*

### Defeating Hydolanzer

*"...I'm sorry. You've gotten caught up in this because of me."*

*"Geist… What the hell is he planning?"*

##### Who is Geist?

*"Geist is my comrade. Who you humans choose to call "the Omens""*

##### Is he behind this incident too?

*"You mean the shooting star? That shouldn't have been the work of Geist, however…"*

*"I do not know his goal, but there's no denying it will cause irreparable damage to this star."*

*"Tsk… I think I've said too much."*

*"She doesn't appear to have any life-threatening injuries… For now though, I must do something to calm the Seaslight…"*

##### Is there anything I can do to help?

*"No, I appreciate the offer, but this is where we part ways."*

##### I need to take Aria back.

*"That's right. So this is where we say goodbye."*

*"Oh, before I forget… Thank you, human, for helping me."*

### Optional

*"Would you find the part I need?"*

*"Hey… Come back."*

*"You're going the wrong way. I think I saw the piece I need land in that direction. See if you can find it for me."*
