Irumyuui

"Irumyuui"

- As long as you're here, Vueko, I'm fine.

Irumyuui was part of a tribe living near the Abyss, as well as the daughter of its chief. Due to not being able to bear children she was feared in her tribe as a cursed child and was later sent with the Ganja corps, as tribute to the Abyss.

Appearance
Irumyuui has dark skin, big round eyes and pigtails forming rings on both sides of her head. She wears a short fur-garment and a short fur-skirt; as well as a necklace Vueko gifted her.

Personality
Due to her upbringing, Irumyuui is very shy and wary of strangers. As she travels with Ganja she starts to open up more and grows very close to Vueko.

Ganja Arc
Irumyuui was exiled, as tribute to the Abyss at a young age, because her body was "not suited for giving birth". She accompanied the Ganja corps into the Abyss, acting as a guide, and warned them about the curse after one Delver attempted to scale a cliff. She travelled with the crew to the 6th layer. Where, they met some Interference Units and learned of the 6thlayer's curse.

Accepting that they wouldn't be able to return to the surface, Ganja set up a permanent camp on the 6thlayer. During their time in the camp, Irumyuui and Vueko grew very close to each other and Vueko developed a mother-like bond with her. She also adopted an Unnamed Rodent that was found in the camp, but sadly it was later on snatched by a predator. After some time, Irumyuui and alot of other Ganja members, contracted an illness from infested water. During the time of her illness, Vueko tried to take care of her.

When the scavenging team brought back an Artifact the Interference Units identified as the Cradle of Greed; an Artifact able to fulfill its users wish; Vueko requested it to be given to Irumyuui in hope it could heal her.

The day after Irumyuui was given the Artifact she was all better and didn't feel any pain, but the Artifact had fused with her body, being implanted in her chest and she was still disfigured from the illness caused by the water. As time progressed she became more and more transformed as she became what she wished to be. One day Irumyuui gave birth to a creature with a similar appearance to a Neritantan or Meinya; the next day it died due to it not having organs to digest food.

She then proceeded to give birth to more and more of these "children," which all promptly died of starvation, which caused Irumyuui a great deal of grief and Vueko tried to comfort her. Later on, Vueko also fell ill and stopped being able to look after and comfort Irumyuui. Then Wazukyan fed Vueko something which she described to taste delicious with a scent of fat. Upon awakening, Vueko was healed. Seemingly, she has a bad feeling about what Wazukyan gave her to eat and upon questioning him he revealed the others had been healed as well, saying "That kid saved us all."

As it turned out, Wazukyan had been using Irumyuui’s children as source of food for the sick members of Ganja and in doing so found out the meat of them alleviated the symptoms of their infection. Irumyuui herself had become even more transformed, barely even recognizable. Irumyuui cried out whenever Wazukyan took another of her children and Vueko, shaken as she was unable to save Irumyuui’s children, apologized to her as she didn’t know what to do and started to sob. Irumyuui comforted her by telling her she would be fine as long Vueko stayed by her side.

As the days continued on in their newfound hellish situation, Irumyuui transformed more and more. One day, Vueko, while being with Irumyuui, discovered the Cradle of Greed in a scar that had opened up in Irumyuui’s chest and was perplexed since she was sure it had broken. Wazukyan arrived at the scene and told Vueko he had the Interference Units search for another one, because Irumyuui had been growing weaker and he feared she might not survive much longer without a second Cradle to fulfill her another wish. Suddenly, Irumyuui started getting restless and began to move. Vueko tried asking her what was wrong, but got no response. Wazukyan, ominously told her that it was "time for Irumyuui's true wish to be fulfilled".

Irumyuui continued to move forward and Wazukyan instructed the other members to stay close to Irumyuui and follow her, while he carried Belaf. Suddenly Irumyuui stopped moving and started consuming flying predators with tentacles growing out of her. Belaf still pained by guilt requested to also be eaten by her and offered himself up to Irumyuui. A giant hole opened up in Irumyuui, allowing Belaf to walk right inside her. As Belaf’s flesh was consumed he was simultaneously reconstructed and transformed into a Narehate. The other ganja members, struck by the "beauty" of Belaf’s new form, concluded that they would be forgiven for eating Irumyuui’s children if they offered themselves up to her in the same way and Wazukyan proclaimed that this was the home they had been looking for.

Only Vueko hesitated and in a brief exchange between her and Wazukyan she ends up trying to jump of a cliff but is grabbed by Wazukyan before falling and passes out. Upon awakening she found herself in the dark pit Riko would later free her from and Wazukyan told her she is currently in Irumyuui’s head as Irumyuui had turned into the base for the whole village which later became Ilblu. As Wazukyan leaves Vueko she is able to sense various signals and later on also the birth of Irumyuui’s last child: Faputa.

Birthing
After fusing with the Artifact, Cradle of Greed, Irumyuui became able to give birth to Neritantan-like creatures and later on, after fusing with other Cradles, is even able to reconstruct humans as Narehate.
