Faputa

"Faputa"

- Together, we will…exterminate them all, Reg.

Faputa is the last child born from Irumyuui and is referred to as "Princess of the Narehate" by the inhabitants of the Narehate Village Ilblu within the inviolable 6th layer of the Abyss.

She is described by Majikaja as "the embodiment of value", and is incredibly highly regarded by all the Narehate in the village. While the citizens of the village are unable to leave it, Faputa is actually the opposite, being unable to enter, due to being imbued with the Cradles of Desire Irumyuui used to hold. She can speak both the language of Ilblu and the language of the Delvers.undefined

Appearance
Faputa's face, upper arms, and upper torso are dark in color. Her hair is long and feathery. Fluffy white fur covers her rabbit-like ears, forearms, legs, and lower body, starting at her hips. One of Faputa's most noticeable traits is her four arms. On each of her hands are 3 large red claws, which act as fingers. Red claw like protrusions are also on her hair, her knees, and the ends of her feet, similar to hooves. Her eyes are yellow with large, rounded pupils. Behind her are 5 tails, which spread out in a fan. She has a pair of goggles slung over her shoulder which she received from Reg.

Personality
Faputa appears to be quite unstable and unreasonable, displaying a wild behavior that makes her comparable to a beast due to her being the embodiment of Irumyuui’s regrets. She speaks in a simplistic and primitive manner, referring to herself in third person, and communicating only with short sentences that are sometimes hard to understand. She is very possessive and seemingly quite jealous, claiming Reg to be of her property entirely, and feels entitled to examine him thoroughly without any indication of shame or restraint. She seemed a bit shaken when Reg failed to remember her, and grew upset when Reg said he wanted to spend time with Riko and Nanachi rather than her.

She is beloved by the Narehate of the village, but she is often irritated or angry according to Majikajya, and she seems to greatly dislike being observed. The Narehate in Ilblu freak her out a bit, especially the ones with lots of eyes.

Ganja Arc
Faputa was the last child birthed by Irumyuui, by using her last wish of the Cradle, and holds, according to Vueko, all of the wrath and regret Irumyuui had for not being able to protect her prior children. Upon birth Faputa was extremely violent and angry. She instantaneously destroyed the three remaining Interference Units of Ganja that hurried towards her and fled the scene.

Early Life
After Faputa had fled, she eventually met Gaburoon, an Interference Unit whose body was already too destroyed to move. As they interacted with each other they grew closer and Gaburoon taught her various meanings of the abyssal language. In return Faputa brought Gaburoon material which they used to repair their body. Gaburoon also gave Faputa her name and in return she named them as well, making them her guardian.

Reg met Faputa and Gaburoon shorty after the latter had been damaged by a Turbinid-Dragon. Faputa was at first wary of him, but as they spent time together they grew closer to each other and Reg gifted Faputa the googles he wore on his helmet at the time as a sign of friendship. Reg also protected Gaburoon until he was fully functional again. Before Reg left the 6th layer, he promised to Faputa to come back to settle the score of her fate and wanted to go onto an adventure with her afterwards.

Ilblu Arc
After entering the 6th layer, Reg, Riko, and Nanachi have the feeling that they are being tracked. Some of their things keep going missing, and strange objects keep showing up where they were not left before. It is revealed later that this is Faputa's doing, as she was trying to help guide them through the 6th layer.

Faputa sneaks into the camp set up by the Riko group while they are asleep. She questions why Reg hasn't sought her out and inspects both Riko and Nanachi. Afterwards, she takes Prushka's Stone with her. Once returned to Gaburoon, they offer to bring it into the village to get the stone worked on. Gaburoon also notices that Faputa brought hair from Nanachi and Riko with her and Faputa explains they will make a talisman with it in the Beast of Omen for protection. Gaburoon remarks that it would be easier if she would interact directly with the Riko group to which Faputa tells them to be quiet.

Later, Reg meets Faputa, who claims that she knows him, and that his name had always been Reg. She then ambushes him, and takes him back to a secluded spot to test if he really is the real Reg. She pokes and prods him, and even reopens the wound to his bellybutton to examine his blood. Reg, feeling exasperated that Faputa does not seem to want to cooperate, leaves and heads back to Ilblu.

He returns after learning of how presenting a piece of Faputa can help buy Nanachi back from Belaf. Faputa states that she will do anything she can if Reg will fulfill his promise to her (that he doesn't remember), proceeds to dismember herself using her own brute strength and tells Reg to destroy the village with her.

Reg, taken aback by her request, asks what she means by that and Faputa specifies she wants him to be her "helper", because she knows Reg is too kind to destroy the village. In the past, Reg told her his incinerator has the power to "rewrite" the laws stopping Faputa from entering the village and as such she wants him to do so in return for her body parts.

Reg and Faputa start making their way back to the village, but because creatures are attracted by the smell of her blood, Gaburoon stays behind to fend them off. As they arrive at the entrance to the village, Riko comes to greet Reg and catches a glimpse of Faputa. Faputa does so as well and notices Riko's Whistle; thinking to herself how beautiful it has become.

Shortly after, the barrier of the village has vanished and Faputa arrives. Juroimoh, who has started to regenerate, roars at her, but is quickly hit by a shot fired by Gaburoon. Faputa tells the onlooking villagers she will not forgive their sins and the time for their "extermination" has come. Juroimoh fires goop at Faputa, but instead of causing her damage it heals her injuries. She leaps down in front of the crowd of villagers and charges at them.

The battle is not shown, but all villagers fighting Faputa seem to have been torn apart and lie in piles to her feet when Reg wakes up; with Faputa still busy tearing the corpses apart.

Faputa continues her one sided battle against the villagers, easily ripping through them. After seeing Riko conflicted and not wanting the things the villagers hold dear to be destroyed, Reg decides to try to confront Faputa. He approaches her and requests her to stop by siding that one of his friends is still in the village, but Faputa tells him she will not stop. She also remarks that he shouldn't try to use his friend as an excuse just so that he wouldn't hurt her feelings and say clearly what he wants to express.

Reg tells her that he will stop her and Faputa tells him she will make him remember what he has to do, even if it means fighting him to do so.

In the battle between Reg and Faputa, in which Faputa tries to make Reg remember his past with her. Reg remarks Faputa should express herself better which shocks Faputa as Reg was the one from whom she learned to express herself in the delver language.

After an exchange of blows, Reg instructs Riko to blow her whistle. This triggers an activation in Reg resulting in him emitting a white glow with enhanced speed. Faputa curses at Riko for using Prushka against her and reveals it was her who instructed Gaburoon to bring the stone into the village. It was in order to test if the bond between Riko and Prushka was truly genuine as well as in hope of bringing Reg to the village because she thought it would trigger his memories to come back.

Reg manages to gain the upper hand, but torn by snippets of memories from his past coming back, he tells Faputa in tears if she keeps following her current path she will keep burning herself until she eventually burns herself out and asks her how he can stop her from doing so.

As his tears fall on Faputa's face she remarks how he his kind hearted but also a fool and powerfully slams him down on the ground.

With Reg knocked out, Faputa carries him back and instructs Juroimoh to hold him down so he can't interfere if he wakes up. Turning to Riko, Faputa blames her for Reg having forgotten about her and leaps to attack her.

However, before it connects Gaburoon blocks Faputa's attack causing their body to be destroyed. In shock, Faputa questions why he protected Riko and Gaburoon informs her that she would have lost Reg forever if she were to hurt Riko; hence he protected Faputa's future and becomes dysfunctional.

The now conflicted Faputa reaffirms to herself she has no way of stopping now for the villagers had deveiced her mother. However, before she can start her next rampage, Faputa is knocked back by an unseen force. As she angrily looks around, she spots Belaf and Nanachi who both have arrived at the scene.

A short exchange between Nanachi and Faputa follows in which Nanachi also asks Riko to leave it to them to deal with Faputa, and Belaf advances towards Faputa. Faputa notes that the smell of her mother is strong on Belaf and decides to kill him first. As Faputa starts tearing through Belaf, he has an inner monologue of having a gift for Faputa which he hopes for her to accept due to understanding now that when he begged Irumyuui to take everything from him she left this behind because she wanted Faputa to see it.

Faputa shatters Belaf's head apart and thus his "gift" is set onto Faputa, in a smoke-like mist, being the feelings and memories he held of Ganja's past. Belaf thanks Faputa for being with him in his final moments and tells her she will have have to decide her own value during end of her destiny and he encourages her to move forward without fear as he wants her to enjoy her adventure. Afterwards, Belaf passes away. With that, Faputa is even more conflicted and halts her assault.

Faputa, in distraught by Belaf's parting gift, tries to reaffirm again that she is the fire that will burn everything to cinders even after what she just witnessed but has exceedingly more trouble in doing so than before. Then, Hermit Rats show up next to her feet reminding her of the one she saw in the memories. Faputa tells them to get away as it is dangerous but one is quickly snatched up by an unknown avian creature and both her and Nanachi realize with the village barrier gone creatures have made it inside the village now; with a Turbinid-Dragon making its way inside.

Unbound
Unlike the other Narehate, Faputa is not able to enter the village of Ilblu and can instead move freely around the rest of the 6th layer.

Physical Strength
She is extremely agile and possesses an impressive amount of physical strength, being able to restrict Reg with only two hands.

Transformation
When she needs to get somewhere quickly, Faputa's white hair and fur envelops her and she takes a ghost-like form that enables her to travel through the air in a manner similar to smoke. She can also transport others with her in this state, given that they're small enough for her to grab hold of and envelop.

It appears as though some of her claws are retractable. At one point it seems as though she grew another finger out of nowhere, the claw on this one being extra long and sharp.
