Vueko

Vueko, whose full name is Vuelo Eluko, is a mysterious "probably human" woman who was chained by her neck in a deep pit of sludge beneath Ilblu before Riko set her free. While in the pit, she spent her time naming, talking to, and singing to the creatures that roamed around her.

Appearance
Vueko, due to her long imprisonment, has very long hair and appears to have mutated to a slightly slimy consistency. After being freed Riko gave her a vast amount of "clothing" to hide her identity, resulting in making her look like a walking pile of rags.

Personality
Vueko is very meek and shy in her behavior, and had issues with her self esteem even before she was banished below Ilblu. Her banishment only heightened this; having had such a little amount of contact for such a long period of time, now she is not even sure of who or what she is.

History
Due to having no relatives, Vueko was brought up by a cruel man who abused her verbally and physically (possibly sexually), constantly telling her she was worth nothing, tying her up and burning her scalp with red hot metal rods. He had illusions of grandeur, believing he was "playing the leading part" and that he had been "entrusted" with the Golden City, which he constantly boasted to Vueko. The story her abuser told was that, one day while he was at sea, he came across a smoldering ship. Inside it he found the ship's crew; their corpses all horribly desecrated, except for one last man who was cowering in the back, barely alive. In the wreckage, Vueko's abuser found and picked up a Star Compass. The frightened man immediately began to babble wildly about the place where the compass points straight up, a monstrous, man-eating hole, and about the Golden City that lies in the bottom of it. The frightened man then succumbed to his injuries and died.

As she grew older, Vueko inherited the compass, and trained to be a delver, so that she could find the city herself. As an adult she joined the Ganja suicide corps, led by Wazukyan, whose goal was the same as hers. Following the compass, the crew arrived at the Abyss, and started making their way down with the help of a native of the island.

She had a role in Ilblu's creation and used to be one of the Three Sages. At some point in time she opposed the founding of the village, and as a consequence was banished into a dark, sticky pit of mud below where Ilblu sits. It's unknown how long she was there, but it was obviously a long time; her hair had grown many times its original length, her legs are weak from lack of use, and she had not spoken to anybody for ages before Riko found her. She claims that the founding of the village was bad and that Ilblu is cursed, and called it "a gathering of curses and children who grow up distorted." Now though, she supposes it isn't so bad a place, since though the narehate that inhabit it are no longer human, they still possess their souls and carry on with their lives.
