Found the game through itch.io and the premise sounds da bomb. She's more like a side character than a Vesper interpretation since I tend to make ocs first learn lore second. She isn't really meant for any of the routes, I just really liked the world-building lmao.

Eriope is the bastard of a priestess who worshiped the solar god. She was quietly handed off to relatives immediately after birth to be raised as one of their own. To the world, she is the youngest of Baron Vasili's three children. After an altercation with the priestess and a tip from a colleague within the solar church, Eriope set out to find her other mother in the marketplace.

Misc.

• It's a semi-open secret that Eriope is the priestess's illegitimate daughter because of how much they look alike. Not a fully open secret because the baroness makes a solid case that her sister, the priestess, is a spitting image of their mother, so it could be said that Eriope inherited her looks from her grandmother, not the priestess.

• Regardless, Eriope still has strong ties to the church. From birth, she had been groomed by her family and the church to take up a high position within the local solar church.

• In her province, Eriope is heralded as the solar god's "beloved saintess". It's mostly just religious propaganda peddled by House Vasili and the church + psychological conditioning on Eriope's psyche to make sure she lives and breathes the part.

• What she lacks in strength, she makes up for cunning, ingenuity, and dexterity. E.g., she's a very slippery girl, a trait she inherited from her other mother apparently, aside from her blue eyes.

• From the little bits and pieces of information that she could get her hands on, her other mother (the priestess's paramour) currently works as an elusive bounty hunter, coming to clients rather than them coming to her. She half-believes she had been sent on a wild goose chase considering how hard her estranged parent is to track down, but she's hates not finishing what she had started.

#obscura vn #eriope's name is a take on medea's daughter eriopis #it's for thematic parallels trust me #tw religious trauma #it would make sense if cirrus was like some sort of contact or welcoming party for eriope during her stay at the marketplace but like #with how emotionally volatile she is #she'd probably delude herself that he is competition and i dont think its a good idea for them to meet #he would probably still be a priest who knows a priest who knows eriope's mom tho idk
