## Summary

**Daithine Bioud** (also known as **The Heartbroken Blue**) is a famous ghost story told in Simul, as well as a historical figure. She was born on June 17, 1126, and died on December 12, 1161, by committing suicide via poisoning herself using cyanide. She is an Industrial formerly apart of the Lapis Lazuli League, and before that, apart of the Silver League. She is currently a wandering soul. She is still wandering as of Volume I. She is a tertiary character in Volume I. She never appears formally, but is mentioned through her legend.

## Brief Living History

Daithine was always a very shy, introverted Silver Industrial. As a child, she was never friendly and was teased by other children, including her brother, Divitaus Bioud, for her unique equitiviseness. Daithine had visions about visiting the Simulian portal from a very young age.

She eventually trespassed into the Empire of Natura, touched the portal, and experienced the first vision any Simulian had ever seen. Her vision involved her death, which was suicide. After being caught, Daithine was held prisoner and threatened to be executed by the Empress.

King Orgullos Moran and King Gisfrid Senrei devised a plan to steal Daithine back to Metallum. The Metalscales asked the powerful Lapis, Zurriel Lunnifus, to use his telekinesis to bring Daithine back. Zurriel agreed to do this. In a late night mission, Zurriel snuck into Natura, and using his telekinesis, brought Daithine back to Metallum. She and Zuriel fell in instant love and became partners, thus making them the first couple to become partners from different Industrial leagues. Daithine joins the Lapis Lazuli League.

A little more than a year later, Zurriel attempted to use his powers to destroy the Llana Ocean. Unfortunately, Zurriel angered Natare, the Water Deity, and was drowned by them. His soul became lost in the Llana Ocean. Once learning that Zurriel was dead, Daithine was driven into insane grief. She committed suicide at only 35-years-old by poisoning herself using cyanide. She was unable to move on into the Divine Void and stayed behind in Simul as a wandering soul for centuries.

## Brief Dead History

As a wandering soul, Daithine became known as *The Heartbroken Blue*. She spends her days roaming and finding her long-lost partner, Zurriel Lunnifus. She mostly wanders in the city of Brassridge, as this was where she was born, grew up, partnered with Zurriel, and then eventually died. However, Industrials have reported seeing Daithine in other cities such as Copperhelm and Arnomaid.

Daithine can be summoned, but only during the first light of dawn, no other time. She can be summoned by one taking five palm-sized rocks and dipping them into dyed-blue flour. After, the summoner would take the five rocks covered in dyed-blue flour and then place them in a circle. The summoner would put a wax candle in the middle of the circle, light it, then close their eyes and count to thirty. After, they would open their eyes, and Daithine would be standing in front of them, holding the rocks in one hand and the candle in her other.

Daithine wears the clothes she died in, including one silver ring. Her most defining features are her silk, blue hooded cloak stretching past her ankles, wearing a hood over her hair, and she is seen still gagging on foamy saliva from poison.

She emerges to young men who wander alone at night in cities, thinking they are her long-lost partner, Zurriel. Upon confronting the man, Daithine would remove her hood and ask the man in question: *“Are you my partner?”*

If the man would reply: *“No,”* Daithine gives the man thirty seconds to turn around and run away from her. During this time, if the man stopped running, did not run at all, or looked over his shoulder at Daithine while he was running, he would instantly die due to indirect poisoning.

If the man would reply: *“Yes,”* Daithine would murder the man using indirect poisoning. After he died, Daithine would take his soul, thinking it is Zurriel’s. Once realizing the man’s soul was not Zurriel’s, Daithine would be devastated and release his soul, as he has no further use to her.

If the man would reply anything else, Daithine would vanish and leave them alone, realizing they were not Zurriel. The man would be left with a permanent blue handprint on the skin above his heart. This was how Daithine got dubbed: *The Heartbreak Blue*.

## Volume I

> "She's an Industrial legend. She was a Silver who lived centuries ago."

> Tyshawn Cylix telling Minetta Bellflower about Daithine, [Volume I]

### Chapter XI

She is mentioned in tied to Brythan Demyx's vision, since both experienced visions involving their deaths. When Minetta Bellflower asks about who she was, Tyshawn Cylix tells an oversimplified version of Daithine's story to her. As Tyshawn retells the legend, Minetta starts to remember it.

## Trivia

* Some of her inspiration comes from Kuchisake-onna.
* She shares the same birthday as Safestia Bellflower, Orane Banut, and Corrsica Cylix.
