Revanche

Revanche as seen shortly after strangling and demonifying Calathea.

**Revanche** is a vengeful and powerful surface demon hellbent on zealously conquering the surface and crushing the party that stands in her way. Possessing the ability to **demonify** others and always maintaining close contact with the ancient spirits that still litter the world, Revanche is intent on building a demonic army under own command to carry out her goals. She consistently refers to her enemies as "trespassers" and "thieves" in battle, and relentlessly insists that entire portions of the surface that they occupy are actually hers. It can therefore be said that she is by far one of the most dedicated demons to seeing the Underworld's invasion of the surface through to its bloody end.

## Personality

Beyond her vindictiveness, Revanche is extremely stubborn and hardworking in the pursuit of her goals. She possesses a seemingly unbreakable will and is unflinching even in the face of extreme abuse. This was seen during her first battle with Taurus, where she remained latched onto him and won out in a contest of wills despite the werewolf inflicting immense physical damage on her.

## Relationships

### Cath

Calathea was the first human on the surface within the events of the story to fall prey to Revanche's demonification power, while herself attempting to sap Revanche's energy away by causing an overgrowth in her body during the process. It can therefore be said that their relationship is entirely antagonistic, as Revanche regards Cath as an enemy and object of total disdain. Cath endured a nightmare throughout the demonification process, during which she had to witness a horrific scene which managed to break the kind girl's heart. The nightmare was obviously connected to Revanche's power, but the actual source of the scene is unknown. She succeeded in demonifying Cath, but the transformation will only be temporary as Cath's overgrowth power messed with the process. Revanche is keenly aware of this fact, and the fate of Cath will no doubt be in imminent peril should she be anywhere near the vengeful Vejrkkali once the transformation expires.

### Acies

Among her fellow demons, Acies is the one with whom Revanche cooperates with the closest. They both share a commitment to their missions (at least, more than the other two) and a keen interest in the spirits who inhabit the world. Nevertheless, Revanche is skeptical of Acies' intentions regarding the bodies he collects despite seeing potential in his power. She has warned Acies not to mishandle the spirits under their control, but is still willing to assist him in finding new bodies and spirits out of interest in what his power can accomplish.

She is well aware that Acies' reasons for participating in the invasion are not the same as hers, and is suspicious about what she sees as his selfishness. But the nearly extinct Vejrkkali are few in number, and she is in no position to turn down a powerful ally...

### Taurus

Revanche and Taurus first fought each other following the latter's transformation into a werewolf during the Battle of the Inquies Forrest. Although Taurus's powerful form managed to inflict considerable damage on the surface demon, Revanche's willpower was able to outmatch his own and Taurus soon found himself in retreat. Revanche made racist remarks about Taurus's status as werewolf during the battle.

Although neither is fully aware of it yet, Revanche and Taurus both come from historically oppressed species and have a burning hatred against the people they believe are responsible for harming them. The way they interact in the future may change if they were to learn more about each other's stories, but for now their relationship is purely antagonistic. In Revanche's mind, the Vejrkkali are the *only* species who have suffered, and she would likely react with angry denial (at first) if she were to hear information that contradicted that narrative.
