Having lost all those things that made me human, I was the perfect vessel for Martel, my mana signature being the closest possible to that of Martel. Remiel says, during the ritual in which I would sacrifice my heart and her memory, that he is not my father, and that the "inferior beings" only called him my father because he placed the Cruxis crystal on me. I revealed to Lloyd, through some weird communication that I somehow knew this, before sacrificing my heart and memory and becoming unresponsive to the rest of the group. Remiel reveals that he seeks to become one of the Four Seraphim, showing that he cared little for me, or even the world, and plans to dispose of the group, but they fight and kill him. Kratos then arrives and reveals that Cruxis plans to transfer Martel's consciousness to me, denying that it will cause me to die. Before Cruxis is able to put Martel's consciousness into my body, however,I was taken to relative safety by the Renegades. Lloyd and the party are later forced to flee to the parallel world of Tethe'alla, taking the soulless me with them.
I finally regained my senses after Lloyd carves a Key Crest into my birthday necklace (he completed it the morning that I left, but it breaks some time between then and the night after the Fire Seal is broken). For some reason, I remembered everything that happened while I was souless, cuz' I knew Zelos' name. As the journey to reunite the worlds continues, I was is kidnapped by the rogue Desian Grand Cardinal Rodyle, who plans to use me in his Mana Cannon. His plans are foiled when he realizes that I had Chronic Angelus Crystallus Inofficium, a rare disease that crystallizes the body. The party rescues her, but does not realize this until later; I believed that his referring to me as "sinful" is a reference to her failure to perform the world regeneration, something I feel guilty of despite knowing that it would only bring about what Lloyd describes as "a false peace."
My disease is introduced gradually, starting with mild discomfort and leading to me collapsing in pain in Ozette shortly before Rodyle abducts her. After Forcystus shot me when I shielded Chocolat, it was revealed that I was beginning to crystallize. The party then searches for a cure, learning about Mithos the hero and Mithos' splitting the world into two with the power of the Eternal Sword in the process. I was cured in time after the party escapes Welgaia.
I was captured in the Tower of Salvation after Zelos betrays the group. When Lloyd reaches the Great Seed Chamber, although he is reunited with his friends (whom he had thought died), Mithos succeeds in merging Martel with me. Martel, however, uses my body to urge Mithos to stop what he is doing. At this time, Zelos had arrived in the Great Seed Chamber and place a Key Crest on my Cruxis Crystal. After Martel's consciousness left my body, I urged the group to stop Mithos from moving the Great Seed to Derris-Kharlan, having understood Martel's desires. iI understood it all, I saw all her memories when she possesed me.
At the end of the journey, I returned home to Iselia, and I said I was no longer the chosen.
Some people say I'm a very mature young woman. I was brought up with the knowledge that I would need to die to save the world, and has gained from that a truly selfless nature. However, I later recognizes that I made a mistake in my willingness to sacrifice herself, believing in Lloyd's ideas that no life is born for the sole purpose of dying. As such, my greatest wish at the end of the journey is to ensure that no one else makes the same mistake I did.
