If I remember correctly, there's a big evil villain in your story (I think the only reason I remember is because she(they?) hurt Aba in some way and he's my absolute favorite so how! dare! she(they)!). Could you tell more about my now sworn enemy? :D (nothing to be concerned about I just .... *pulls out switch blades* want to have a talk with them is all :) nothing to see here folks :)) )
!!!! i have two big evil villains in my story, and they have both hurt Aba horribly!
(also i am absolutely thrilled that Aba is your favorite, because he’s a super fun character to write about and just!!! adorable!!! i’m so glad you like him! when this move is over, i’ll try and write up some more things about Aba for you!)
and yes, i will absolutely tell you about your new sworn enemies! *blatantly ignoring those switch blades* :) i am sure it’s going to be a very pleasant and all together friendly talk! :)) )
of my two villains, i talk about Midnight the most. this is because Kee’s role isn’t particularly prominent until you get into the later Arcs, or you’re talking about before the story begins.
Midnight is the current Queen of Fara. she exists in two forms, and i’ll happily talk about both of them! they share the same history, and only subtle differences.
as a whole, Midnight comes from a land that has been lost to time and code. during the Beta Wars, her kingdom was stripped down to nothing. some theorize that she was the only survivor. others speculate that the Butterfly People come from this strange, forgotten land as well.
one thing is known for sure: her words are saccharine sweet, and she’s very good at being Queen.
*she’s got cotton candy hair, literally
*her weapon of choice is a lollipop scythe
*on her orders, the Royal Scientists are researching the Code of the World
*she aims to create a kingdom of eternal life and beauty; a true utopia
*loves to paint, often pictures of her old home
*vicious and brutal and rotten under all that sugar
*good intentions can still lead to horrific actions
*a Queen that doesn’t mind killing
*has a personal collection of humboars and licorice wolves
*remembers the time loops, though no one else realizes this
in Fields of Fara, Midnight has a very pink color scheme.
you can find a moodboard i did for her here!
the main difference between the two worlds, at least as far as Midnight is concerned, is that, in Fields of Fara, Midnight hasn’t yet discovered how to steal other’s codes, raised her army, or made a grab at total power. her True Intentions are still hidden, a secret, and the vast majority of the kingdom consider her a good and wonderful Queen.
she talks with an air of love and knowledge to her words; sweet enough to be trusting, but with enough poise that there is no doubt of her lineage. her rule over Fara is purely circumstantial. the kingdom needed a Queen, and she needed a kingdom.
Midnight has her own passle of humboars, which she swears are simply pets. she also has a pack of licorice wolves to help the population. she comes off as very caring, and as someone that genuinely wants to help her people. which is true! the problem, of course, is that she doesn’t care how many of her own people die as they search for that perfect utopia.
saving a few is better than losing them all, isn’t it? Midnight certainly thinks so!
her right hand man is Polynya, the head of the Royal Guards. her left hand man is Flame, General of the Royal Guards.
*soft gowns and pretty dresses are her favorites to wear
*not above using threats and black mail
*gives the order for Polynya to kill Locke in one loop
*has been the direct cause of Aba’s death in several loops
*in fact, she becamse Queen directly before the First Loop started
*coincidence? i think not!
*she isn’t actually the trigger for the time loops, but she’s one of the Main Markers for them
*the second born child of the lost queen has no importance to her; his death can only serve to help her own goals
in Fara Falls, Midnight has a very blue color scheme!
you can find a moodboard i did for her here!
in Fara Falls, the game is set in a version of Fara in which Midnight was able to carry out her original plans - only for the power to dislodge her sanity, thus creating the brutal, vicious world around her. in Fara Falls, long live the queen is something of an anthem; whispered out as she parades through the kingdom, surveying her domain, hoping that if one pleases her enough, she might spare their life.
in all of creation, Midnight is the only character to ever reach Level One Hundred. this is because she is using the Butterfly People, now known as the Corrupted, to harvest the code of other characters and directly weave it with her own. she is power incarnate, a pretty little thing with power that pulses through her veins, a longing and love for the beauty of destruction.
while her sanity is no longer intact, her poise never wavers, her smile never drops. she hosts balls that double as executions, she kills any who oppose her name, and she will rule over this land until the day it turns to code. her right hand man is Captain, head of the Royal Guards. her left hand man is Bolte, General of the Royal Guards.
she loves to feel beautiful, though her soft furls from her alternate self have been traded in for stunning couture gowns, things clad in diamonds and silk. even though it’s well known that she has a vicious, mean streak about her, it’s still hard not to take her curling, sugar coated words at face value. Midnight’s lips drip with honey and venom.
*she has a personal passel of humboars that she frequently uses to punish her Court with
*always looking for more ways to ensure her place on the throne will never shift
*many don’t remember a time before she was Queen
*her kingdom is built on the ashes of a failed rebellion
*if you speak out against her, she will either have you killed, or she will kill you herself
*will make allies, but only if she feels it can benefit her, and only if she feels she can later cut ties with them
*has issued an order to kill Aba on sight
and then, of course, there is Kee. now, if you want to learn about someone that has caused Aba endless amounts of pain, it’s Kee you’re going to want to watch. she is, at heart, the one pulling all of the strings - while also not being involved in the going on’s of Midnight.
there is only one version of Kee, just like there is only one version of Aba. technically speaking, Kee and Aba don’t exist in Fara Falls; on a meta level, they weren’t meant to be included in that game, since it’s a gritty reboot about failing the quest for the original Fields of Fara.
that being said, Aba has been glitched into Fara Falls several times, and Kee can travel through all versions of Fara without issue.
now, i haven’t spoken very much about Kee, so if this post raises any questions (about anything, really!) feel free to ask them!
Kee is labeled as a Hero, just like Aba is labeled as a Villain. they’re both stunning examples as to how labels can be wrong. the fact of the matter is this: there is no one in all the lands as cruel, furious, and vicious as Kee. there is no one that has cut down more innocents than Kee. there is no one that has hurt Aba worse than Kee.
and - you might know about the lock, you might be focusing on the bolt, but it’s the key that will finally unlock all of the secrets you’ve been missing.
simply put, every glitch can be traced back to Kee. she is the one who first stepped off of her chosen path as Hero of the World, who took hold of ?͚͚͡?̷͈̝̲?̗̺̼͍͙͜ and drove a knife into his gut, slaying her brother and, with it, the very path that Fara had previously existed on.
*she is searching for Game Over, and will stop at nothing to get there
*she manipulates Aba, turning him into a Villain that kills for her
*when her uses for Aba run out, she kills him, too
*this is repeated on many, many time loops
*her preferred weapon is a sword
*if you know the Witch of the Woods, you will see the resemblance
*all but one Spirit of Fara has been felled at her hand
*the spirits are not reborn when the new loop starts
*she has been looping for a very, very long time
*she gave him a new name to go with his new form, isn’t that enough of a gift?
this has been such a fun ask to answer, and i’m sorry that it got so long!
