“	Together, we will…eradicate them, sosu.	”
—Faputa, to Reg

Faputa (ファプタ) is the final child of Irumyuui and is referred to as "Princess of the Narehate" by the inhabitants of The Village of Iruburu within the 6^th Layer of The Abyss.

She is described by Majikaja as "the embodiment of Value," and is highly regarded by the Narehate of the village. While the citizens of the village are unable to leave it, conversely, Faputa is unable to enter. She can speak both the language of Iruburu and the language of the Delvers. She is currently attached to Riko's delving squad, Hello Abyss.

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, with the fourth and fifth folded away. Red claw-like protrusions are also on her head, knees, and feet, which appear similar to hooves.

Her eyes are yellow with large, rounded pupils. Behind her are 5 tails, which spread out in a fan. She had worn a pair of goggles slung over her shoulder, which she received from Reg, covering her chest like a lopsided bikini top until it had been lost during her assault on The Village of Iruburu.

After having been fed the Value of the bodies of Iruburu inhabitants, Faputa's feathery hair and tails have grown longer with golden streaks, and she has gained a unique design in her eyes: a diamond-shaped symbol with four diagonally aligned smaller diamonds in it and a star-like symbol in the center.

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 the 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 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 Majikaja, and she seems to greatly dislike being observed. The Narehate in Iruburu frighten her to some degree, especially the ones with lots of eyes. Later on, it is revealed that she sees it as her duty to eradicate them due to how she was born but shows signs of possible changes in that perspective after the incidents that occurred after the village barrier broke and wants to walk her own path.

History

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 shortly 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 goggles 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 6^th Layer, he promised Faputa to come back to settle the score of her fate and wanted to go on an adventure with her afterwards.

Iruburu Arc

After entering the 6^th 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 6^th 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 Iruburu.

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 despite his inability to remember it, 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 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 the gooey liquid masses 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 at 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 saying 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 she 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 is kindhearted 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 despite becoming dysfunctional.

The now conflicted Faputa reaffirms to herself she has no way of stopping now, for the villagers had deceived 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 about 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, releasing his "gift" onto her in a smoke-like mist: 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 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, 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-Dwellers 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 she and Nanachi realize with the village barrier gone, creatures have made it inside the village now, with a Turbinid-Dragon making its way inside.

As Faputa witnesses the creatures killing the villagers, she becomes upset, as she interprets it as them taking away her duty to destroy the village and eliminate the villagers, and starts attacking them.

This causes the creatures to start attacking her as well, and she starts getting more and more mutilated by them to the point of being eaten and vomited out by a creature. As the villagers watch Faputa fight the creatures and get more and more ripped apart, they question why they care for her well-being even though she is trying to kill them.

As Faputa is about to be attacked by a Turbinid-Dragon, Gaburoon tries to shoot at it with a broken arm. Faputa is happy that Gaburoon is still functional and tells Gaburoon to hurry to get up and move because she doesn't want them to get completely destroyed. Gaburoon apologizes to her for not having been able to protect her and has an inside monologue of not having regrets, though having deep regret that they won't be able to learn how Faputa, being born holding vengeance, obtained something irreplaceable and called it "Value." Gaburoon tells her the days they spent together were their precious "Haku" just before the Turbinid-Dragon crushes them with its leg, destroying them completely.

Faputa is shocked and angered by that, but a blast from the Turbinid-Dragon sends her flying. Afterwards, she is too damaged to move and contemplates what value lies in her immortality if she is unable to move anymore. As she lies on the ground, the villagers begin approaching her and feed the Value of their bodies to her to save and regenerate her.

At first, Faputa is greatly irritated by this, spitting at the villagers with an internal monologue that all they do is want. This continues with her going over that she always knew she was born with the duty to annihilate them. However, things she doesn't know keep increasing, with even the people she thought she knew having unknown sides to them. However, she slowly starts to feel heat that tells her that something beyond that duty lies hidden and Value she does not yet understand can be found there.

As her inner monologue continues, one of the villagers is snatched by a creature, but before it can eat its prey, a now fully regenerated, more powerful Faputa rips parts of its head and the upper body of the villager away and eats both.

Faputa lets out a scream, rattling the creatures and onlookers. As she recalls the memories she witnessed, Reg's words to her, and the inner monologue of Belaf before his death, she steps forward, having gained a stronger-looking form with longer hair and a symbol in her eye, and internally monologues, "Do not decide for Faputa. Faputa will go learn of Value for herself, sosu."

After her inner monologue, Faputa sets her eyes on the invading creatures again. As the villagers look onto her with hope-filled aspirations, she thinks to herself silently that they are hopelessly foolish. Faputa lets out a scream, which causes Juroimoh to rise next to her.

She instructs him to rout the creatures, and Juroimoh brings forth his "Great Sword." With a mighty swing, Juroimoh takes out multiple creatures while Faputa lunges at the ones that jumped out of the way and tears pieces out of them. When Faputa is bitten by one of the creatures, the Value she has taken in appears to instantly balance the creature and consumes part of it, with the villagers also pointing out it seems akin to the Iruburu Balancing.

As the two continue fighting, they eventually come face to face with a Turbinid-Dragon. Faputa begins to attack its leg and makes its poisonous scales erupt. As she continues to battle the Turbinid-Dragon, she comes to the inner conclusion that this is no longer just a fate she inherited but the fire she made burn herself—her own will.

At some point in time, Juroimoh fell in battle with the creatures while Faputa is still fighting with the Turbinid-Dragons. Faputa prepares to engage the Turbinid-Dragons again, but Reg joins the scene, and after a short conversation with him telling her he has not come to get in her way and will take over the battle from here, he gets a whistle charge from Riko and starts battling the dragons. Meanwhile, Faputa notices the rest of the group and approaches them.

Upon seeing Vueko in her transformed state, Faputa seems sorrowful and expresses she will direct her attention to Vueko later. She then shifts her attention to address the present villagers in the group and tells them while she can't forgive them, she will give them a role to fulfill.

She has come to understand the Value still present in the village and how to utilize it and plans to draw all of the remaining Value out of the village to destroy it to give her mother peace. Moogie tells her that they came because of that and requests Faputa to do it for them, too. Faputa agrees and begins her preparations.

After Faputa makes preparations, she starts the process of dismantling the village while reminiscing about how her mother gave her this purpose, which she will fulfill now, and the village starts to crumble and fade away.

With the village falling apart, an exhausted Faputa leans against a still stable rock while debris falls around her. As the environment crumbles, she is hit on the head by the debris just before the ground under her also breaks apart and she finds herself in a free fall.

Whilst falling, she has a flashback of asking Maaa and Majikaja to bring the trio out of the village. She wonders if she would still have some power left if she had eaten Maa and Majikaja earlier, but she no longer cares as her purpose for existence is complete. Suddenly, Reg's arm extends from the ground below to catch her fall as more debris falls onto them.

After the collapse of the village and the group taking refuge in cave-like ruins, Vueko tries to verbally communicate with Faputa, but Faputa tells her that there is no need for Vueko to try to speak, as she can hear her anyways. Faputa tells her that she didn't know of her existence until Belaf showed her his memories via his scent, and she wants to learn more about the mother she never got to know. As Faputa questions if she really resembles her mother that much, Vueko clarifies that while not in personality, her smoothness and warmth are similar.

Faputa remarks that she had always thought to have inherited everything from her mother; however, the memories of Vueko's existence were nowhere to be found within her. She assumes Irumyuui didn't want to part with them to the point of not even letting Faputa have them. As Vueko's mind drifts to her old caretaker's words that the Golden City "even turns junk into gold," she thinks of how ironic it is she recalls that now. As her consciousness becomes weaker, Vueko mistakes Faputa for Irumyuui; she tells her how happy she was to have met Irumyuui and that their meeting changed her. Then, she passes away, which saddens Faputa much to her confusion due to Vueko belonging to her mother and not her.

Afterwards, the group ventures out again, as there are no signs of the beasts nearby. Faputa begins digging a grave for Vueko and making a tombstone for the ones that have passed away, saying that Gaburoon told her to do this when someone dies. This saddens her even more as she remembers that Gaburoon was also destroyed. Reg asks her to come along with them, but she retorts by saying that he can't even remember their promise. Reg sadly says that even after all this time he can't remember and feels bad about it, to which Faputa gets frustrated and says it means that she basically has no relation with Reg anymore. Reg counters this by rhetorically asking her if her former self ever saw this mopey side of Faputa.

He continues on with expressing that his current self has seen how scary she was, her pain, and her beauty, and that he wants to go on an adventure together with her. After a brief exchange over Faputa's relief of Reg showing this level of determination for her, she then turns her attention to Riko, telling her that Prushka is saying Riko's role was caring about the people she met. Riko is shocked that she can hear the voices of White Whistles. Faputa then decides to head off on her own, and Reg asks her if she won't come with them. She replies that she will think about it before holding on one last time to Reg's head and afterwards begins to head away onto her own path. Faputa looks back one last time with the parting words, "Everyone… see you later, sosu." Her departure is signified with a bright shimmer of light.

Capital of the Unreturned

Spoiler warning: The following section contains spoilers. Read with caution.

The trio of Riko, Reg, and Nanachi make their way further into the depths of the 6^th Layer. As they continue onwards, Reg wonders about Faputa's current whereabouts and hopes she is alright. Nanachi, while continuing their path, points out that Faputa had been born in the 6^th Layer and even managed to stand up to the creatures that attacked the village.

Upon seeing a field of Eternal Fortunes, the group is reminded of the Amaranthine-Deceptors, which ultimately leads into Nanachi pointing out that they could encounter the other two White Whistle Delvers besides Lyza sooner or later. As their conversation shifts onto Faputa again, Nanachi notices that Faputa is following them. Riko calls out to her and asks her if she would like to join them for dinner.

Faputa slowly approaches them, climbs onto Reg's head, and wraps his cape around her. After a brief exchange, Riko asks Faputa if she can understand Lyza's White Whistle, as she had shown to be able to communicate with Prushka, too.

As Riko holds the Whistle up, Faputa suddenly rises up in shock. Surprised, Riko asks her what's wrong, and Faputa seems unnerved by what the Whistle is trying to communicate. She then tells them the name of the Whistle is Doni and relays their message of someone waiting at the Pivotal Ring. Riko asks if it could be her mother, but Doni clarifies it is not Lyza but someone related to Reg before stating they won't say more on the matter and going silent.

After concluding the Pivotal Ring must be the ring of light Ozen had mentioned, Riko praises Faputa, which ultimately leads into her being interested in Faputa's rear anatomy, and Faputa allows her to sniff her rear, and Riko expresses how it smells like the sun and baked sweet potatoes.

The group continues onward, collects materials, and also tries to make sense of Lyza's Notes that Moogie had given to Riko during the village incident. Afterwards, Reg and Faputa are tasked with trying to hunt a creature, the Sicklehorn. They manage to get a leg of the creature and make a stew with it. Faputa is at first skeptical of the dish but happily eats it after having a first taste.

This also leads to her reminiscing about Gaburoon and, though sad about his departure, thanking him for having saved Riko from her. As she remembers a conversation with Gaburoon, she makes up her mind to move onwards, and upon Riko asking if the food is good, Faputa happily smiles, telling her she is not sure yet and wants another bowl.

The Curse Fleet Arc

During their further travel, Faputa questions Nanachi about the curse itself, and Nanachi gives Faputa explanations for it. Then, suddenly, Meinya reacts to something and looks for it. As the group follows Meinya, they come upon the corpse of a Black Whistle Delver.

Reg initially panics, but Nanachi quickly informs him that the Delver is already dead. As the group wonders about his cause of death and which group he could have belonged to, Nanachi searches him for useful common Artifacts Delvers often carry, and they collect an all-purpose lockpick, Gentle Knock, and an air dumpling, Mermaid Burp, from the corpse.

As the group continues their travel, they come upon a bale of Emperorshells, and Nanachi, amazed by it, recites lyrics of The Song of Hariyomari, a folk song based on the White Whistles they used to read to Mitty. As Nanachi gets sentimental, Faputa reassures them in their bond to Mitty.

Riko's group travels further into the 6^th Layer with Reg now having one of the Artifacts they recovered from Cravagli's corpse attached to his cut-off arm. Nanachi notes it to be a Gentle Knock and an Artifact one can control with one's mind. After a short exchange between the group on how Reg's arm in Riko's possession can be used to remotely touch Nanachi, they notice that the force field has calmed down greatly in the area they are approaching since there appear to be no more small creatures at all ahead.

As such, they conclude somebody might have set up a trap ahead, which excites Riko at the possibility of someone besides them being out there.

As the group tries to trigger a potential trap by throwing stones in its possible general placement, Nanachi arrives at the conclusion that it would be easier for Reg to just check it out, as his ridiculous toughness and stamina most likely would keep him safe. As Reg tries to set off a trap, it is triggered and causes the release of a gas that smells like boar excrement and is used for tracking by marking the target: Ibeho Smell.

A short exchange follows, leading Faputa to notice two presences stacked on top of each other approaching. Shortly after, Nishagora and Tepaste emerge from a section. In a brief moment of all characters taking note of each other, Nishagora notices Riko's Whistle and gets enraged by assuming Riko's group must be underlings of The Priestess.

Tepaste tries to disarm the situation by noting she has no idea who these children are, but by Riko stating she is Lyza's daughter, Nishagora becomes angry again, as she knows Lyza's daughter was stillborn. Only with further explanation and mention of the Curse-Warding Box does she calm down and begin to note names of people she is reminded of by Riko's circumstances before seemingly becoming lost in thought.

After becoming active again, she decides to take Riko's group to her boss if they want to follow her and Tepaste. Upon the reveal that her boss is a White Whistle Delver, Riko immediately wants to tag along, and the rest of the group follows. Before they start following Nishagora, Nanachi thinks of what possibly led to the reaction Nishagora had after seeing Riko's white whistle. After some thinking, involving how all revealed White Whistles apart from Riko's are relatively known in shape to an extent, only Riko's Whistle has an origin of taking its form that Nanachi assumes only Riko's group, and possibly Bondrewd by peering into Nanachi's vision, knows about. As such, Nanachi theorizes she is possibly looking for a White Whistle with an unknown shape and name.

As the group travels, Riko and Co. theorize about the Priestess, as it is something mentioned in Orth's fairy tales and in The Song of Hariyomari. During their further travel, Nishagora also asks them if they believe in Souls, to which Nanachi states they want to believe in the existence of souls. Faputa, however, flat out confirms the existence of souls and how she knows Nishagora has many piled up.

Soon after, the group arrives at the outpost of Hail Hex in the 6^th Layer. As they enter it, they are greeted by a member of Hail Hex who welcomes them. Inside the outpost, Nanachi marvels at the amount of equipment, and shortly afterwards they are addressed by the boss of Hail Hex, who is cooking food in a big pot. As the conversation progresses, this boss tells them that the goal of Hail Hex is to reach the deepest depths of the Abyss and asks what Riko's goal is.

As Riko counts in her mind the many goals she and her group still have, she says there's quite a lot. After hearing that, the boss of Hail Hex introduces the Curse Fleet Delver Troupe, Hail Hex, and afterwards herself as Captain of it, Srajo. She praises Riko and shows recognition as a White Whistle. However, she also notes that they will have to put Riko through her paces first.

During the test put on by Srajo on them, where Reg has to bring Nishagora down, Faputa notices that Srajo is preparing to do something just as Reg is getting the upper hand on Nishagora and his time activation is running out. Srajo then hands down the creature on her neck to Sherumi and Menae, the puppet-like members, and commands them to take the "Wave-Resistant Positions." As Reg tries to end it quickly by pulling Nishagora down, Srajo blows on her Whistle and activates Nishagora the same way Reg does, turning her fur almost all white. Faputa proposes to get involved, but Reg refuses, and they let him continue with a warning to not overdo it.

After sharing a meal, both teams prepare to set out on a temporary joint expedition until they can find a place to base in the 7^th Layer.

As both groups move forward, they are stopped by their senses being negated and are suddenly attacked by a creature. Nanachi moves in to protect against an attack on Sherumi and Menae, and Reg extends his arm in an attempt to save Nanachi.

As Reg latches onto the assailant, Nishagora and Tepaste fasten him to a nearby rock formation. Srajo fires a Double Pop Blaster into the haze to reveal the Mysterious Beast, which had ambushed the group. Faputa and Yataramar pursue, the latter revealing a transformation triggered by Srajo's White Whistle.

Faputa distracts the creature while Yataramar attempts to secure and then free Nanachi. A combined attack from a released Sherumi & Menae is able to injure the monstrous arm holding onto Nanachi, and Srajo severs it with another strike from the Double Pop Blaster. Yataramar uncovers Nanachi, revealing grievous wounds.

Abilities

Curse Immunity

Unlike most other creatures in The Abyss, Faputa is able to ascend freely. The reasons for this phenomenon remain unknown. Despite being seemingly unaffected by The Curse of the Abyss, she was unable to enter The Village of Iruburu.

Physical Strength

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

Transformation

Faputa appears to have transformative abilities, as seen when her hair and fur envelops her, which enables her to travel through the air in a ghostly manner similar to smoke. She can also transport others with her in this state, given that they are small enough for her to grab hold of and envelop.

Furthermore, she displays to be able to adjust her form and has a very supple and flexible spine that can stretch a good deal and bends freely.

Immortality

While in the vicinity of the village's boundary, Faputa is able to have her wounds healed by the same thick dark gooey liquid Juroimoh used after his transformation, which she proclaims to be her siblings, and it continuously heals injuries she sustains while she is in range of it. Furthermore, she is unaffected by the Balancing. She also displayed the ability to regenerate and seemingly grow stronger by the Iruburu inhabitants willingly giving up the Value of their bodies for her to consume.

Internal Balancing

After having taken in the Value of the villagers' bodies, Faputa seems to be able to bring forth the balancing from within herself when harmed to heal her injuries and cause damage to the one who harmed her in the process. This also seems to cause the pattern in her eyes to change, similarly to the change of the one displayed on Reg's helmet.

Telepathic Communication

Faputa is apparently able to communicate with beings unable to speak, as she is able to understand signals from Prushka as a Whistle and also is able to communicate with Vueko after the effects of the Curse of the Abyss rendered her unable to speak.

Faputa Paste

Faputa Paste is a glue-like paste that Faputa produces with her urine and uses for adhesion and writing.

Quotes

• (To Reg) "Even though you're Faputa's… Who would… What is this wound, sosu?"
• (To Reg) "You…plan on living in…the same time as the "human child"? Even when they die, you'll stay the same. What'll you do, sosu?"
• (To the villagers) "Faputa will allow you no time to prepare yourselves. Faputa will eradicate you now."
• (To Reg) "Reg… You are kind, sosu. But… But… Foolish, sosu!"
• (To Irumyuui) "O mother…you were…Faputa's reason for living. Now, Faputa will fulfill her duty, sosu!"
• (To Vueko) "Vueko… You alone, mother did not want to hand over, even if it was to Faputa."

Trivia

• Reg noted that she "smells of the sun," which is just how Riko described Wazukyan. The significance of this is yet unknown but is likely related to the fact that both their bodies originate from Iruburu.
• Faputa's name is a combination of the abyssal words "Fau," meaning "noble maiden," and "Aputa," meaning "immortal one," given to her by Gaburoon.
• According to Gaburoon, "sosu" is a term added after sentences to make one sound more graceful.
• Faputa's hidden talons are too delicate to be used as weapons but can grasp thread and even sew with them, plus extend them individually.
• Faputa has highly fragrant glands around the anus. According to Riko, it has the smell of the sun and sweet potatoes.
• To mark something as her territory, Faputa rubs one of her tails on it.
• Faputa's arms closer to her back are stronger because blood flows more prominently to these limbs. These also have one more joint than her other limbs.
• Faputa's possession of three Cradles of Desire enables her to have three separate Haku.
• Faputa's arms don't have only three fingers, but a fourth and fifth finger that are hidden. The nails of these hidden fingers are delicate and have senses similar to tactile and olfactory senses, which means she was able to "see" inside Reg.
• Faputa represents humans with three dots, and so the cairns Faputa hurries to build likely represent Vueko with Irumyuui as the village.
• Faputa knows the names of her siblings because they transmitted them through 'signals' to her.
