The guest of Room 431. An easygoing little girl who is determined to leave Serpent's manor and return to the outside world at all costs.\\

[[spoiler:Or so it seems, at first. She was once a princess who was unable to experience the outside world for herself, as the illness she had since birth had made her bedridden. She had an obsessive love for knowledge and literature, creating a powerful artifact known as the "Book of Truth" as a result. This book automatically transcribes human souls as words on its pages, and its infinite hunger for knowledge had eventually come to destroy the world.]]
