"Maiden of the Crimson Tide, Marineth Carmina"

A Deep Resonance Maiden of the Seraphin delmaris species. An individual who once served as a "Tide Maiden" in the oceanic city of Pelagica. Even now, after the seas were lost to the Great Desolation, she continues to emit faint resonance sounds from her cranial Halo Resonator. These sounds seem both like songs of deep-sea nostalgia and signals calling for lost kin.

She calls the crimson mist the "sea of blood," and has been witnessed dancing within it to phantom wave sounds. Carrying the Trident Sacra, she offers prayers toward nonexistent seas. The tidal marks in her eyes are said to still trace the rhythm of tides that no longer exist.

Testimony of the Crimson Mist Watcher:
"Every night, her resonance sounds echo. No voice answers. Yet she continues to wait—believing that someday the seas, her kin, will return."
