Doni (ドニ, Doni) is the person that turned into a Life-reverberating Stone for Lyza and was processed into her whistle. Doni is currently accompanying Riko's squad, Hello Abyss.

Appearance

As a whistle, Doni's shape is similar to a common referee whistle. The whistle itself is decorated with the silhouettes of Eternal Fortunes, Glyphs that represent "Netherworld" or "Abyss", and other embellishments. On the whistle's sides, there is a round protrusion featuring a key-hole surrounded by patterns.

In their previous life, Doni appears to have worn a skull-like mask with three keyholes reminiscent of their whistle form, and also appears to have been equipped with devices reminiscent of side-flashlights.

Personality

Doni seemed to be reserved, as they were quite terse when communicating to the group, via Faputa.

History

Early Life

At an unknown point in time, Doni met Lyza and formed a bond with her. Their bond later allowed Doni to become a Life-reverberating stone for Lyza’s White Whistle. Lyza took them with her on her Last Dive and, for unknown reasons, gave Doni to Reg, alongside her notes. They were found by Ozen, with other belongings of Lyza, at a grave in the Garden of the Flowers of Resilience.

Orth Arc

When Hablog returned from his recent delving trip, he brought back Lyza’s whistle and belongings. Replicas of the whistle were mass produced and sold at the Resurrection Festival dedicated to Lyza. Riko was later offered Doni, by the Delver’s Guild, as she is Lyza’s only relative. She accepts. Riko then brought the white whistle with her, on her descent into The Abyss with Reg.

Seeker Camp Arc

Riko briefly gave Lyza’s White Whistle to Ozen, in exchange for blue whistles, to disguise herself and Reg. When the duo departs for the 3^rd Layer, Ozen gives Doni back to Riko.

Poison and Soul Liberation Arc

Riko held onto her mother’s White Whistle while suffering from the 3^rd Layer & 4^th Layer Curses, Orb Piercer venom, and Reg's botched amputation of her arm. Nanachi was reminded of Bondrewd when they saw Lyza’s White Whistle.

Ido Front Arc

Riko investigates Lyza’s whistle, while Bondrewd explains how Life-reverberating Stones are made, upon realizing Doni's existence.

Capital of the Unreturned

Riko asked Faputa if she could communicate with Lyza's whistle, as she did with Prushka. Doni transmits their name and information that someone related to Reg awaits at the Ring of the Essence.
