---
A girl that was saved by the Hero when she was a slave.
She feels a debt of gratitude towards the hero that she can never repay, so when she heard about the perpetuation of his descendants, she thought about doing it herself, but was she really worthy of such a thing? Wouldn't it be a bother to the Hero? She was beset by such thoughts, but because she wanted the Hero's child so badly, she ended up committing a crime.
