The Girl

Prompt

At some point prior to the summer of 1590, the girl was imprisoned in a large cage within the Dungeons of Fear and Hunger, situated in the Kingdom of Rondon. Although the specific circumstances resulting in her presence there remain unknown, she is implied to have suffered greatly over the course of her life; she is stated to appear “unused to kindness of any kind”. Upon initial observation, the girl appears to be an ordinary, if miserable, child. However, she harbours within her an ancient soul, a spark of divine potential that has lain dormant within her since her birth. The girl is the only issue of the union between the New God Nilvan, the Endless One, and Le'garde, a mercenary leader prophesied to unite humankind under his leadership. Nilvan, driven by her aspirations of humanity transcending its limitations and yearning to extend her dominion beyond her natural lifespan, hoped that her daughter would become a beacon of hope and progress for mankind. During the events of Fear & Hunger, the girl may be escorted deeper into the dungeons, eventually reaching the Altar of Darkness within the body of the God of the Depths. When she reaches the altar, she begins the process of ascension to divinity, shedding her human skin and becoming the God of Fear and Hunger. Her ascension to godhood is canonical despite the existence of other endings, as she can be seen in Fear & Hunger 2: Termina as a revered deity.
