2. New Combatants

[SSR] Aphros: Pocket Maiden

Elemental: Green Phthos
Particle Form: Orbis
Class: AoE

Background:
Aphros, an experimental breed created by the Divine Selection Bureau, was secretly freed by her parents shortly after birth. She drifted downriver until a kind soul took her in. However, her uniqueness destined her for a life filled with challenges. After years of hiding and disguising herself, she lost her sense of identity.
Tragedies haunted her existence. Stripped of family and bound by a curse, the girl fell into an endless sleep, waiting for her destined one to awaken her with a kiss.
When the curse was finally broken, she was reborn in love… This time, she might discover her true self.

Bloodline: Teacup Cat
The Teacup Cat, named for its tiny size that allows it to fit comfortably in a teacup, is a deliberately bred ornamental variety. However, the genetics of this breed are unstable, resulting in cats with extremely fragile constitutions and numerous latent health issues. Consequently, their lifespan tends to be relatively short. This breed is not recognized by traditional Felinians and lacks a natural population.
—Felinian Chronicles: Whispers of Ten Thousand Secrets

Delving deeper into breeding practices, it has been discovered that the genetic defects inherent in Teacup Cats may increase the likelihood of unusual mutations in Felinian abilities. While this breed generally shows high tolerance and performs well in the early stages of artificially transforming Darkpaws, they are prone to genetic collapse in the mid-stage, leading to experimental failures. It is recommended to expand the selective breeding scale and maintain continuous monitoring.

[SSR] Sage: Spiritual Healing

Elemental: Green Pathos
Particle Form: Orbis
Class: Defense

Background:
As a child, Sage accidentally witnessed her family’s dark experiments—memories she locked away to protect herself. As she grew, Sage fought through the layers of self-defense, gradually uncovering the gruesome truth her family tried to conceal.
From that moment on, Sage dedicated her life to two pillars: the art of healing and the pursuit of knowledge. For her, this journey was not just about achieving professional excellence as a healer, but also an endless quest for atonement.
“The sin that courses through my veins is my inescapable fate—a duty and burden I must bear.”

Bloodline: Jungle Cat
Lean and agile, Jungle Cats have relatively short tails, distinctive white patches around their eyes and muzzles, and a fur coat that is mostly uniform in color, lacking any prominent markings that would easily identify their breed.
These felines are clever, energetic, and extremely alert, typically leading solitary lives except during mating season. Nocturnal by nature, they roam extensively at night in search of safe places to rest. Interestingly, Jungle Cats have a strong affinity for water and possess the remarkable ability to dive and catch fish with their mouths.

Bloodline: Egyptian Mau
Egyptian Maus display a variety of striking colors, including silver, antique bronze, and smoke-gray. Their most distinctive feature is the natural spotted patterns on their coats, which remain visible even if the fur is shaved, as these markings are inherent to their skin. Their large, almond-shaped eyes, with pale green or glass-green irises, complete their unique appearance. In terms of temperament, Egyptian Maus are intelligent and gentle, displaying remarkable patience and a soft, unobtrusive vocalization. They are neither overly assertive nor distant. However, they also possess a sensitive and shy nature, making them wary of strangers and unable to tolerate prolonged isolation. Compared to other feline breeds, Egyptian Maus have a delicate constitution and can be negatively affected by sudden changes in their environment or temperature.
