Reej

Reej (リージュ) was the mother of the Liberator Meiru Melusine.

Appearance
Reej was a beautiful woman with long emerald-green hair. Due to her dagon heritage, she had fins for ears and webbing between her hand and toes. Despite her beautiful appearance, Reej's body was quite frail and was ultimately what killed her.

Personality
Reej was both kind and strong willed. She would endure any hardship for the sake of the ones she loved. In addition, no matter what gifts her captor Baharl Devault had given her, she hadn’t shown him any interest.

Background
Reej was romantically involved with the vampire Alesand Il Dastia, a member of Dastia's royal family, and had conceived a child with him. Unaware of Reej's pregnancy, Alesand wished to marry her, but she left him in order to protect both him and their child from any consequences of their relationship due to his royal standing, as well as vampires being known as a solitary race. She eventually settled in the Outlaw City of Andika and gave birth to her daughter Meiru there. When Meiru was out playing one day, Reej was abducted by the ruler of Andika, Baharl Devault, due to having been infatuated with her. Reej decided not to resist when being taken away in order to protect Meiru from being discovered by Baharl due to her incredible aptitude with magic. At some point, Reej gave birth to her and Barharl's daughter Diene. Despite living with Baharl for years, she refused to indulge in his advances. When Diene was around six years old, Reej would tell her stories about her older half-sister Meiru, and how she would one day sneak in her room to visit her. Reej died soon after due to having a frail body.
