Prushka

"My name, Prushka, means the flower of dawn. Papa gave it to me. Hey, Riko. Have you ever seen a dawn?"

Prushka is the adoptive daughter of the white whistle Bondrewd, a Delver of legendary status. She was born in The Abyss and never went to the surface.

Appearance
Prushka is a young girl with a short white curly hair and glowing red eyes. Her attire appears to be somewhat influenced by the clothing of diving suits. She wears a green coat and gloves on top of a white shirt, as well as a big hat on her head she almost never removes.

Personality
Prushka was a cheerful and amiable girl who loved her adoptive father very much. She was incredibly devoted to him, and would do anything to help him, holding him in a higher regard than anyone else. Having lived the majority of her life in the 5th Layer, she developed a strong curiosity for exploring and was fascinated by tales of others travels through the Abyss. She was adventurous and quite brave, going on her own on adventures through the 5th Layer behind her father's back.

She was also very honest, and placed a great value on her friendship with Riko. She was surprisingly talkative, easily forming relationships with other people and showing no signs of insecurity or shyness. Due to her horrible pasts and by influence of her father, she developed an amazing mental fortitude, and became very obstinate, to the point of being willing to challenge the curse of the 5th Layer multiple times just to learn more about it.

History
Prushka was the daughter of a "Praying Hand", the black whistle subordinates of the legendary delver Bondrewd. At some point on a very young, an accident led her to be affected by the curse of the abyss of the 4th layer for an extended period of time. This incident resulted in her developing an extremely severe trauma, and she would be often be thrown to panic attacks and fits of hysteria. One of Bondrewd's subordinates, a black whistle named Gueira attempted to heal her with no positive results. He considered the possibility of simply killing her, as she would be of no use and was only suffering, before Bondrewd himself approached her. The white whistle hugged her and declared that she would be his daughter, giving her the name Prushka.

Some time passed where Prushka's mind remained just as unstable, hiding alone in dark areas between walls. One day, Bondrewd gifted her a small creature called Meinastorim. The previously frantic Prushka slowly started apporaching the strange animal with a dubious curiosity, and started showing signs of affection with it, naming it Meinya. Overjoyed with the first signs of recovery on his new daughter, Bondrewd declared that the day would be her birthday, signifying a new start for her. After some time, Prushka saw notable improvements and behave almost like a regular girl. One day when playing with Meinya, she accidentally climbed through stairs and was hit by the curse of the 5th Layer, resulting in her receiving grievous wounds. Despite the horrible experience, Prushka's mind was able to recover much more quickly than before, though her hair ended up permanently curled.

She spent the following years in Idofront collaborating with anything she could, and occassionally venturing outside with him, carrying explorations through the 5th Layer together.

Abilities
Having lived with a legendary delver for years, Prushka is quite knowledgeable of many things. She's well-versed of human anatomy and medicine, and is capable of treating lesser wounds quickly and efficiently. With the help of her pet Meinya she figure out a way to climb the stairs on Idofront even while suffering the sensory-deprivation curse of the 5th Layer, indicating that she has a pretty clever mind and her memory was good enough to memorize Meinya's movements.

She appears to lack fighting ability, as she hasn't displayed any feats of strength and when leaving Idofront she would be escorted by members of the Praying Hands.
