* A mysterious young woman who woke in the middle of the forest who is happened upon by a pair of siblings living within a Village that's by the sanctity of the light. When the lights begin to go out, the Girl is asked to help investigate the Tower to help fix their problem. In exploring its confines she frees Butterfly locked within a glass prison thinking it will help serve the Village. After narrowly escaping the Queen of the Night, she comes back to find the Village has been distorted and fallen into darkness. Recognizing the Butterfly's importance, she works to go back to the tower and put it back, restoring parts of the town and its people along the way. After being mortally wounded and being briefly separated from the Butterfly, the Girl still follows through with her plan to put it back despite it keeping her alive by that point and [[MonochromeToColor restores light to the entire world itself]] at the cost of her own life.
** Due to the nature of her story the proper details of the world the Girl lived in are vague. The generally accepted version is as follows: The Village was beset by monsters in the dark and the Queen of the Night grew herbs that would help them in exchange for payment. They were unable to pay her and the Queen left the town to their fate, including the Brother and Sister. The Girl, who is heavily implied to be her daughter or at some important family member, stole their Butterfly and used it to illuminate the Village and banish the monsters. She does so at the cost of her life and the Village came to revere her as a deity while the Queen and her forces branded her as a traitor. Some time later the Girl is revived and goes through the Tower as mentioned before. She encounters the Queen a second time and gets cornered and has her underlings rip out the Butterfly by force. The Girl confronts the Queen once more and after beating her Brother comes back and murders the Queen for turning away from the Village and flees. The Girl follows him back out the Tower and into the now heavily distorted Village and after tracking him down he reveals his intentions of destroying the Butterfly to not only spite the Queen but also to liberate everyone in the Village. After beating him, the Brother and Sister begin to fade away and the Girl ultimately chooses to relinquish the Butterfly and illuminate the world. The Queen stands beside the Girl’s coffin while the siblings bring some flowers. This is also discounting the fact that the world ''might'' also be an afterlife of sorts, presumably a kind of purgatory.
* The young lady once again found herself waking up on a forestbed after being stirred by the soft breeze and warm sunlight on her cheek. Upon getting her barrings she was beyond wonderstruck then to see the world in a kaleidoscope of colors, colors she had never seen in her world nor could she ever of experienced following her sacrifice. Awe turned turned to shock and subsequent panic when she was once again beset by a butterfly that bore an uncanny resemblence to the very same butterfly she let go of. After walking around the Girl would be informed of her place in the Pantheon and after confirming that her world is indeed safe after her sacrifice she accepted her position. Thus, she would be ascended over {{Pictorial Speech Bubble}}s due to how her story was told in her world.
* Strictly speaking, the Girl has no name that can for sure be called her real one and if there was she isn’t telling anyone. More often than not she’s often referred to as simply “The Girl”, or variations thereof with some including a mention of the Butterfly. That being said, she does not being called Nevaeh, at least by those closest to her.
* As she knows it, the darkness is physically harmful in that it slowly drains away vitality and monsters under its veil and rendered invincible. Conversely, the light slowly restores her health and makes monsters susceptible to damage. In the Pantheon its generally not as severe and can traverse it without as much trouble though in certain places, like the Halls of Pantheon/LightAndBrightness and Pantheon/DarknessAndShadow for instance, its effects on her health still take hold and is perhaps more potent so she’s careful in this regard. And that’s not going over the many gods who are apart of and/or champion these two diametrically opposed forces.
* The Girl’s journey through the Tower was an arduous one, and she could not have gotten far without the help of the Butterfly. With the Butterfly in her possession she can use it to cast light nearly wherever she wants to not only reveal things and make things disappear but light up switches and project shadows of other objects. Finally, she can also use utilize butterfly wings to safely glide down long falls.
* Being someone who chose to restore light to her world she earned the attention of Danielle Baptiste and Niko, a host of the Angelus and a person tasked with restoring the light. The Girl was fascinated by Danielle’s role in her world while she and Niko bonded by how similar their adventures are. While by no means helpless, the two have promised to have her back in case she ever needs it. The Girl also by chance happened to cross paths with Sora, a Keyblade Wielder. The conversation between them was short but worthwhile starting off mundane but drifted to their respective journeys when Sora saw the Butterfly. Eventually the two parted ways on good terms and the young woman has not seen him again since but would not mind another meeting. Not all beings of light are good, however, as the Light of Destruction and Meridia have indiciated. One is a cosmic malevolent force that inspires similar levels of depravity, another a callous being that masquerades as a wholly benevolent. Meridia herself has gone on to denounce the Girl as a being of dark who selfishly does good for praise and acknowledge, something she and her newfound friends have gone on to refute. Seeing that there’s no convincing stubborn mortals who refuse the light, Meridia left that as it is.
* As someone who has fought her way through the shadows of the Tower this young girl is no friend to the many malevolent beings of dark. The Heartless was of course a given what with having met Sora and some other Keyblade Wielders before and she had fended off some Heartless as well (and aslo partook in some minigames for others such as collecting flan, strangely enough) but there was also Chernabog, the Dark Star, the Dark Matter Horde, and the Shadow Queen. However, none of them could compare to the horror called the Presence who terrifies the Girl as she does not want to be swallowed up by the madness it brings. Of course, not all beings of dark are themselves evil, the Girl herself is proof of that even, and its for that reason she more amicable to them. Born is a creature of the void responsible for dooming many worlds into being consumed by it, but it came from him wanting to escape and be his own being and soon righted his wrongs. The Girl understood [[NiceJobBreakingItHero that feeling]] all too well herself. There was also Koichi Kimura and Judai Yuki, two people but are otherwise upstanding people as well.
* Even in the Pantheon, she can’t help but help people. For her, though, it’s less so about dungeoneering and fighting monsters and whatnot but the more mundane and little things, closer to the many times she helped out the villagers after her revival. It’s not all work for her, however, as on her off times she likes to take in all the scenery around her. The forests are one thing, being among the first sights she say in both her awakenings in back home and here, but other views too. She truly cannot get sick of being in a world of so much color.
* One day, while on a forest walk the young woman overheard music coming from a flute. After following the song, she came a girl much younger than herself playing a flute to. The Girl proceeded to compliment her for her song and the conversation continued from there as the two hit it off. The Girl then found out that the flute girl’s name was Aurora, Princess of Lemuria though she insists to not be called that. Upon unraveling their respective tales both were surprised by the commonality surrounding a “Queen of the Night” and wondered if they were related though this was quickly brushed off as an uncanny coincidence. Aurora however explains that the Queen of the Night she knows, her WickedStepmother Queen Umbra, is actually in the Pantheon herself who still plots to have Lemuria for herself and the Girl promises to lend Aurora her aid against the evil queen if needed.
* If it wasn’t plainly evident enough she has strong ties to butterflies and when it comes to them two tend to stand out. There’s Tippi, a Pixl who looks like a butterfly and accompanied [[Pantheon/{{Gaming}} Mario’s]] journey to stop Count Bleck, her lost love, from destroying all of reality through the Void. And then there’s Morpho Knight, a mysterious butterfly that absorbs the souls and powerful of fallen warriors into its own knightly morph and is unfathomably powerful. To the surprise of no-one, the Girl likes the company of Tippi more than Morpho Knight. She was at first unsure of meeting with Tippi's one true love, Count Bleck, through her experience with the Brother and the extremes he went through for the sake of his Sister thought it was also this same reasoning she could never fault him for it either. Helping things is that the Count remains courteous, though being with his living love again helps.
* Among the many traps and hazards the Girl came across in her joruney through the Tower were buzzsaws. Lots and lots of buzzsaws. Like every trap she would have to manipulate the world in such a way in order to navigate through them though occassionally she has been able to utilize them as weapons against her foes through casting shadows with the Butterfly. [[Pantheon/{{Challenge}} Meat Boy]] and [[Pantheon/GamingGenres the Knight]] have gone through. The Girl found the former alright but has not met the Knight and only has a vague surface level understanding of it and its relationship with the Pale King though she finds she isn't fond of the monarch from the little information she has gleamed and the extensive installation of saws has not helped.
* Was once stopped by a purple haired pony with a white mane that was clearly agitated. The pony’s name was Rarity and was very distraught at the current state of the Girl’s dress and was very insistent. The Girl looked and begrudgingly agreed it has indeed seen much better days, and found herself dragged into her boutique. Rarity was curious as to how she managed to let it get to such a point, especially after hearing her murmur such damages weren’t that bad up until now. And so, while waiting for the pony to finish she recounted a story about [[NoodleIncident about a pink mechanical magical girl accidentally slicing it up while fending off a titanic flightless wyvern of the snow]] Both the story and Rarity finished and the Girl thanked her for the trouble and went home while Rarity asked to try to not let it get that bad ever again and the butterfly girl complied. She ended up being a semi-frequent visitor thanks to this.
* Perhaps you would surprised that the Girl became good friends with a strange clown named Dropsy. Sure, many people can be considered his friends after getting past his appearances and receiving a warm, damp hug from him but the Girl hangs out with him often either playing with his animal companions or casting many shadows with the butterfly. One reason for how they got along well is, aside from some similarities, Dropsy is very much in tune with [[PictorialSpeechBubble her language]].
