レイファ・パドマ・クライン Age: 14 |
|
The Royal Priestess and princess of Khura'in, who uses her spirit channeling abilities to show a victim's last moments during trials. One of the main rivals of AA6. Personality: Rayfa is haughty and self-assured, having been channeling spirits for trials from an early age. As one might expect, she's used to getting her way, with only her mother Ga'ran and a few others able to consistently keep her in line. But past all that she's still a teenage girl figuring out her place in the world; she's easily flustered and embarrassed when she makes a mistake, and wants to seem more knowledgeable and grown-up than she really is. Underneath it all, she takes her role in the courts and as the future queen more seriously than anything. Rayfa was decided early on to be a key figure in the game as well as a heroine of sorts, but the staff decided it would be more interesting to have a heroine at odds with the protagonists and wrote her as a rival. A few internal game files refer to Rayfa as "Honfa".

Name Origin: English: Rei comes from rei, 'spirit'. Reifa might come from an alternate reading of the reibana, itself an alternate name for the higanbana, also known as the Lycoris radiata, a flower said to be growing in Buddhist Hell. (hana/bana is read hua/fa in Chinese). Padma means ‘lotus’ in Sanskrit. Background: Rayfa is the princess and royal priestess of Khura'in; from an early age she's taken part in trials in the country by way of channeling the victims' last moments into the sacred water mirror in the courtroom. These channelings became all but the sole decider of a defendant's guilt, and Rayfa is respected throughout the country.
