* Viera Dune
* Infected Mother Earth

**Viera Dune** was one of the three founding members to the legendary Clan, Arthia and was the leader of the clan of witches,Walpurgisnacht, before it's destruction by Cha Yeon-woo.

## Physical Appearance

Viera Dune was described to be physically incredibly beautiful and seductive, with her having a beautiful face and a curvaceous body, and several unique and exotic features. This is seen where it was stated that she had pure white, pupil-less eyes and green hair that somehow only magnified her appeal.

Viera was shown to also primarily shown to wear an outfit that emphasized her physical appeal and wear the pointy witch had worn by all members of Walpurgisnacht.

When using her Power given to her by the Great Mother, [Body Transfer], Viera’s spare bodies has shown to have different hair styles.

After being forcibly removed from the Great Mother and turned back into a mortal, Viera was shown to have been reduced to be haggard state. After being exorcised from the Great Mother, Viera was shown to be wounded from head to toe, her beautiful and elegant figure in Jeong-woo’s memories was gone, and her silky green hair, now black, was tangled and matted, and her once-confident eyes filled with madness.

## Personality

As stated by Yeon after reading his brother's journal, Viera possessed a very conniving, manipulative, seductive, and sycophantic personality. Having been known to have made quite a reputation for herself in using her beauty and feminine wiles in order to latch on to other more powerful individuals. She mainly used them to either get what she wants or manipulate them for her own advantage and would betray and abandon them later once she had what she needed from them.

This was explained numerous times where she was known to have seduced Cha Jeong-woo and Leonte for her advantage. As seen where it was heavily implied that she hooked up together with Jeong-woo solely due to his power and potential as a High Ranker. She had no remorse in going behind his back to betray him later once she no longer had any use for him. Later it was implied that she had also seduced Leonte in order to betray Jeong-woo and manipulated him into getting the **Emerald Tablet** for her own Clan. She'd later abandoned him once he served his purpose. It was also later stated she had also attempted to latch on to Valebich when his formidable abilities as a Half-Giant became known.

Her selfish personality and desire for power were also shown to have even rendered even her own family unsafe from her. As seen where it was stated that the sole reason why she carried and gave birth to her daughter Sesha was for the sole sake of experimenting on her due to her status as a quarter dragon humanoid due to her father, Jeong's status as a half-blooded dragon.

Viera was also stated to be highly avaricious and greedy when acquiring something of value. An example being where she first extracted all the important portions of the Emerald Tablet. She'd then erase the important portions from the original text before handing them over to Leonte and Cheonghwado despite their initial agreement to mutually share the tablet's bounty.

Viera was also stated to be the most ruthless and witch-like of the entire Walpurgisnacht. She had a reputation of being cold, aloof, calculative, and precise in her actions during the competition to become the next head of the clan. With her having been implied to have been the one responsible for killing her other competitors and anyone who supported them until she was unilaterally accepted as the leader of Walpurgisnacht. Later she confirmed that she indeed used her mental magic to cause the "accidents" that killed or ruined them.

She was also shown to be an incredible fanatic on her faith to the Clan's patron of, "The Great Mother". She placed a considerable amount of effort and zealous action in order to fulfill the Goddess's desire of finding/creating a suitable vessel to incarnate in. As seen where she had little to no hesitation in having Sesha for the sole sake of creating the needed vessel for her "Mother". She also had no remorse on how sub-humanly she treated her own daughter and justifies it as being alright since she was one gave birth to her.

As seen during her sheddings interrogation under Brahm and Cha Yeon-woo, Viera has little to no remorse in her having betrayed Cha Jeong-woo to advance her own goals. She felt no guilt or sadness for his death despite having genuinely loved him. This is seen where she had confused Yeon-woo for Jeong-woo and had no shame in attempting to use her past relationship with Jeong-woo to escape and even used Sesha to manipulate him. Later upon being violently beaten by Yeon-woo, Viera showed no hesitation to lie about Jeong-woo and try to make it out that he was in truth a horrible human being. That was in order to mentally/emotionally weaken Yeon-woo enough to make him susceptible to her Mind Manipulation Magic.

Viera like all Residence, Players and Rankers within the Obelisk had an obsession with power and attaining Godhood and traveling to the 98th Floor and higher up to the 100th Floor. Viera is noted to have a particularly strong obsession with this goal in comparison to the others. Having during their time together, repeatedly told Jeong-woo about her obsession with one day becoming a God and going up to the 98th Floor no matter the cost. She also stated to despise and hate the Summer Queen and All-For-One for preventing her or anyone else from getting any higher than the 77th Floor. She made it known that she would throw away everything and everyone, even Jeong-woo if they got in her way or paved the way to reaching her goal.\

It's been stated that like many fellow Apostles, Viera has been affected by "Divine Sickness". This was mainly due to her soul being repeatedly coming into contact with her patron God, resulting in her developing mental issues such as becoming nearly delusional when feeling fear.

Ultimately she did just that and sacrificed her lover, daughter, Walpurgisnacht and Arthia to finally obtain Godhood by merging together with the Great Mother and becoming her core ego.

After fusing with the Great Mother, Viera's original personality was stated by them to slowly disappear as her sense of self as "Viera Dune" was assimilated into the Great Mother and her original memories as a mortal was slowly disappearing. As shown, after fusing with her, Viera had become e immensely arrogant, self centered, de-sensitized and apathetic to her former life as a human and actively showed complete disconnection and a desire to no longer be attached or associated to her former life as a mortal. This is seen where she deemed Yeon-woo's vendetta to her as annoying and attempted to convince him to leave her alone due to her technically being "dead" as a human and later showed complete apathy to her past life and human relationships to the people of her past, as seen where she doesn't even have the slightest bit of emotional reaction regarding Cha Jeong-woo and considered him as nothing more than a fly in the roadside to her path to Godhood. As shown after she appeared to Yeon-woo after he killed her shedding as the mortal "Viera Dune" she attempted to apathetically convince him to leave her alone and attempted to convince him that she was already, technically "dead" and he had already obtained "vengeance" against "her" in order to be left alone. She herself not doing this out of guilt or fear for her life but simply because she didn't want to be bothered by him. Truly believing that he was beneath her and didn't want to be "hassled" with having to "deal" with his "petty vendetta".

However despite Persephone and the Great Mother's belief in Viera's original "self" beginning to disappear after the Conceptual Goddess's fusion with her, it is evident that Viera's ego's and memories are still present in their shared mind. This is seen where despite having stated to have long since forgotten Cha Jeong-woo, Viera herself has shown to in fact still have a strong level of attachment to him, albeit its been shown to be completely twisted. This is seen during her manifestation during Arthia's war against Elohim in Bayluk's lab, where she proclaimed that she and him were fated to be together forever despite their love having long since gone cold and her proclaiming that he was her eternal puppet while hugging the vat containing his cloned homunculus created by Bayluk. Showing that Viera still cares for him but at the same time considers him a tool for her own personal use, as seen where she agreed to assist Bayluk in his research to use Jeong-woo to create a Divine Human and her having her Giants possess Jeong-woo's clones as their vessels to manifest in the Lower floors.

Persephone herself has noted to be able to tell the difference between Mother Earth's personality and Viera's through their connection, showing that Viera's personality is still distinct enough to be differentiated from the Goddess's.

After being forcibly separated and abandoned by the Great Mother from their fusion, Viera was shown to have been reduced to a pitiful/fragile psychological and physical state. Due to her having merged with the Great Mother for a prolonged period of time, Viera was stated to have been disconnected from the sensations and feelings of being a mortal, causing her to be overwhelmed by the forcible return of her humanity. Due to her having been a conceptual goddess, Viera was shown to have become disgusted by her humanity and despised the sense of weakness and helplessness she now feels as a human and deeply longed for the overwhelming power, authority, and respect she had as the Great Mother. Later she stated that the overwhelming physical sensations of being human again and the feelings of despair, anger, and pain she felt after being stripped of her godhood was strong enough to drive her mad.

As shown in her finals moments, when it comes down to it, Viera herself is very weak willed and shameless when driven to a corner, this is seen where she attempted to beg for her life to Yeon-woo to spare her and later, attempted to again slander his younger brother and justify her betrayal of him by stating that he had somehow mistreated her due to his ambition and completely ignoring her own deplorable actions. Further highlighting Viera’s selfishness.

## History

Viera had originally met and befriended Cha Jeong-woo and the Half-Giant Valebich during her time in the Tutorial as she entered into the Obelisk. Like many other potentials, it was heavily implied that Viera was born within the tower and raised to one day become a ranker as well.

During her generatio’s Tutorials, it was noted that Viera kept her eyes open for anyone with the powerful potential to team up with. With her having recognized Jeong-woo's natural genius and Valebich's powers as a half-giant to be formidable enough for her to approach them herself. She eventually successfully teamed up together with the two of them and became one of the three founding members of the team "Arthia" that would soon evolve into one of the tower's top 10 clans.

As they began climbing the tower, the members of Arthia continued to make waves due to their skyrocketing progress and development of each member. Viera in particular was noted to have greatly expanded her skills in magic and soon became infamous as one of the most powerful witches within the Tower.

As she was a highly skilled Magic researcher and scholar, Viera would assist Jeong-woo in his own studies and research into the arcane in order to develop his dragonic abilities. Having been confirmed to have assisted him in his research into Demonic studies due to the high compatibility between the two races.

Eventually, Viera would assist Jeong-woo in acquiring a demonic contract with one of the Tower's high-class demons in order to hasten his progress, with her having helped him set up the ritual to summon one. Unexpectedly to the two of them, a member of "Le Infernal", The Grand Duke Agares was the one to answer their summoning. Greatly shocking Viera due to her only expecting to contact one of the mid-ranked demons instead.

Upon being summoned, Agares immediately expressed his interest in Jeong-woo and offered to give him incredible amounts of power and ludicrous deals to further empower Jeong due to having grown to desire him. An incident that was stated to have slowly made her grow jealous and disdainful for her lover.

After a time in Arthia strengthening herself, Viera eventually made her move to climb to power on her own. After supposedly leaving Arthia, but not cutting off contact with her lover, Jeong-woo, and maintaining friendly relationships with her former clan. Viera had traveled and appeared out of nowhere to join Walpurgisnacht, and soon successfully gained a spot as one of the Clan's potential leaders. During the running for leadership, Viera had apparently made a fearsome reputation in her new clan. This was mainly due to each and every one of her competitors soon going through an "accident" or "misfortune" that made them drop out of the running or lose their life. Although no exact connection could be drawn between the incidents of the other potential candidate that could be linked to Viera, a majority of Walpurgisnacht's members suspected that Viera was the one responsible. Eventually, Viera successfully obtained the position of Clan Leader via default, due to all other candidates losing their positions/standing to obtain it or dying before they could. Viera during her time as a member had also apparently garnered the attention and favor of the Clan's patron Goddess, the Great Mother, who made her her Apostle, solidifying Viera's position as leader.

Although unknown when Viera began to gradually distance herself from Jeong-woo and begun to secretly plot behind his back. With her having secretly had his child and later whisked her away to her birth clan of Walpurgisnacht for experimentation without telling him anything. Later she then seduced Jeong-woo’s "best friend" Leonte into betraying him and help her with her own plans.

Later during the alliance of the Top Ten Clans against Arthia, Viera herself would secretly assist them by sabotaging Arthia from the inside in secret while pretending to be allied with them. Viera herself greatly contributed to Arthia downfall alongside Bayluk, who used his skills in poison to assassinate Arthia's allies and powerful members and discourage others from coming to Arthia's aid.

Eventually, Viera made her betrayal known to Jeong-woo during the height of Arthia downfall against the grand alliance of the other Top 8 Clans of the Tower to destroy them during Jeong-woo's final stand against the alliance. With her having dealt one of Jeong-woo’s killing blows and shoving one of the swords that later took his life into his chest.

Later it was revealed that Viera had two reasons for betraying Jeong-woo despite loving him. It was revealed that Jeong-woo had obtained the Soulstone of the being named Luciel that had the power rivaling the Gods and Demons of the 98th Floor. If it were combined with the Philosophers Stone that she had and the Ancient Dragon Heart that Jeong-woo had inherited from Kalatus. Viera could successfully empower her **Powers**, [Body Transfer] and [Mind Plunder] to successfully allow her to "Devour" and merge together with the mind of the Great Mother and ascend herself into Godhood. This motivated her to assist in killing Jeong-woo in order to steal the Soulstone from him and tear off a piece of his Dragon Heart for her ritual. After successfully killing him, Viera initiated the ritual and actually succeeded in becoming a God.

After successfully merging with the Great Mother, Viera would then initiate several schemes in order to consolidate more power for herself. As seen where her presence was detected by Yeon-woo during the Titans ang Gigantes's takeover of Tartarus and Olympus and later Bayluk and Elohim's war with the newly revived Arthia where she used her power to summon the Gigantes down into the lower floors in order to steal the power of the Black King and the Throne of Death possessed by Yeon-woo for herself. Having even gone as far as teaming up with Crawling Chaos to do so.

However, all of these schemes would end in failure as Yeon-woo would defeat her and ruin her plans in every turn.

After failing to sever the connection to the World Tree and them being forcibly ripped from it, the main ego of the Great Mother offers the soul of Viera Dune to Cha Yeon-woo in hopes of him releasing her. This quickly caused the Great Mother’s original ego’s and Viera’s to argue with one another. After putting up a small fight, the Great Mother successfully removed Viera from herself, reducing her back to her simple and near primal consciousness. After the Great Mother severed Viera from herself, Yeon-woo proceeded to kill her and summon her soul to extract all the information she has regarding the inner workings of the Great Mother in order to find her weaknesses, due to Viera still retaining her knowledge during their time fused, with the latter stating that she no longer needs to be loyal to the entity after being discarded by the Great Mother and promising to free her from his [Purgatory Furnace].

Regardless of their deal, he throws her soul into the hellfire of purgatory as punishment for betraying Jeong-woo and using Sesha as a guinea pig for her experiments.

## Abilities

Viera Dune was stated to be one of the most powerful magic user's within the Tower and a highly skilled and educated magic scholar. With her having been implied to be well versed in Necromantic Magic, Alchemy, and Black Magic due to her successfully translating and analyzing the "Emerald Tablet" and unlocking the various skills and abilities written on it on how to create the "Philosopher's Stone". She was later able to completely translate the text, extract all the vital information from it before handing it over to Cheonghwado.

Viera Dune was also stated to have extreme mastery over Mind Control and Mental manipulation type magic, enough for her to impress Walpurgisnacht's patron goddess, the Great Mother, and be given the position as her **Apostle**. Further empowering her and granting her additional abilities and skills.

Later after being forcibly separated from the Great Mother and forcibly reverted back into a mortal, Viera was shown to have lost the Powers she gained from being the Great Mother's Apostle. However, she still retained her skills and magics she learned as a Witch.

### Skills

* **Seduction:** Viera Dune was stated to have been taught by Margaret and D'Arc and successfully learned the Skills of "Seduction" from them. This presumably increased her ability to seduce and entice men to do her bidding.
* **Occult Power:** Viera was also stated to have also been taught by Margaret and D'Arc and successfully acquired the Skills "Occult Power". From that power, she presumably increased her affinity and power with using and learning Magic.
* **Medusa:** Another one of Viera's signature skills is her skills [Medusa] that allows her to transform her hair into snakes. The Skill itself gives Viera the ability to turn people into Stone and the snakes themselves possibly possess the ability to eat a full-grown human being.

#### Powers (formerly)

* **Body Transfer:** Viera Dune was also given a special unique skill, the "Power" called [Body Transfer] by the "Great Mother". This was due to being impressed by her mastery of Mind manipulation and Mind control magic and giving her the position as her Apostle. This essentially gives her the ability to freely transfer her "Ego Data" of the person known as "Viera Dune" to another body indefinitely. Effectively granting her a form of immortality that allows her to cheat death by transferring her mind to a new body whenever she is "Killed" in battle. Viera herself keeps several copies of her body all over the Brocken Castle and as such possesses numerous spares if anything were to happen to her. This Skill was also shown to allow her to take the body of another person if she desires, as seen where she transferred her mind to the body of another Young Witch during the battle against Yeon-woo during Viera's attempt to escape.
	+ **Mind Plunder:** A sub-skill to the Power of [Body Transfer], unlike Body Transfer that lets Viera take control and inhabit a pre-prepared body in advance. [Mind Plunder] lets her blend her own "Ego Data" of "Viera Dune" into the "Ego Data" of someone else. Allowing her to literally merge or even take over the mind of someone else and make them her servant or even usurp their bodies as her own.
		- **Mind Absorption:** After successfully acquiring and creating her own completed Philosophers Stone, stealing Luciel's Soulstone and using a portion of Cha Jeong-woo Dragon Heart he inherited from Kalatus and using them as power sources for her "Powers", [Body Transfer] and [Mind Plunder], Viera successfully created a gigantic ritual that created and mass-produced thousands upon thousands of copies of her "Ego Data" as "Viera Dune" and making entire legions of her copied consciousness to successfully fuse her mind and soul with that of the the "mind" of the Great Mother and gain Godhood. Completely ascending herself as one of the few Players within the Obelisk to successfully become a "God".

### Magic

* **Mind Control Magic:** Viera was stated to be a master in the usage of Mind control magic that grants her the ability to affect and take control of the mind of another being or person.
* **Mental Magic:** Viera was also stated to be a master in the usage of mental magic that presumably allows her to manipulate the mind of someone in more depth than just controlling them. It presumably allows her to manipulate their memories, personality, consciousness, and subconsciousness.
	+ **Curses** Viera was shown to particularly apply Mental and Mind Control Magic as curses to curse her opponent. Her curses were stated to be very powerful and unless someone has equally powerful protection, she can easily affect them and potentially destroy their minds with her magic. However, if her curses fail to work on her target and she fails numerous times to use them successfully. She would be given penalties and if failed the curse may even reflect back to her and her soul would soon begin taking serious damage that could potentially destroy her mind.
		- **Curse: Hypnosis:** A curse that allows her to Hypnotize someone.
		- **Curse: Mind Wash:** A curse that presumably damages someone's mind.

### Items

* **Ominous Philosopher's Stone:** After having acquired and deciphered the Emerald Tablet, Viera was able to successfully create her own Philosophers Stone that then grants her a nearly inexhaustible source of magic power to draw upon and allowing her unlimited access to freely use her magic and skills without end. However, despite it being the highest grade prototype out of the numerous made by the clan, Viera's stone was still considered a prototype and thus incomplete and still had a few limitations.
* **Philosophers Stone:** It was later revealed that Viera had already in fact created a complete philosophers stone and had used it as one of the three power sources to empower her [Body Transfer] and [Mind Plunder] powers, she used to fuse her mind and soul with that of the Great Mother.
* **Luxuria:** It was later revealed that upon Cha Jeong-woo obtaining the Soulstone of Lust, "Luxuria". Viera had stolen it from him during her betrayal in order to use it as one of the three power sources to empower her two Powers in order to fuse her soul and mind with the Great Mother's and obtain Godhood.
* **Kalatus's Ancient Dragon Heart:** During her betrayal and eventual assisted killing of Cha Jeong-woo, Viera had also successfully torn out a portion of his Dragon Heart that he had originally inherited from the Ancient Dragon Kalatus in order to serve as one of the three power sources she used to empower her two Powers to fuse her mind and soul with the body and mind of the Great Mother.

## Trivia

* Viera's Mind and Mental Type magic is shown to be particularly weak against skills that provide strong mental defenses and empowers one's willpower. As seen where all of her mental attacks and mind control spells were reflected/defended against by Yeon-woo and rendered useless due to his **[Cold Blooded]** trait.
* Despite the great utility of [Body Transfer], a severe downside to is that Viera's mind could accumulate severe mental/psychological damage if she were to suffer repeated deaths and injury and forced to constantly transfer bodies.
