Filolia

Filolia is a being from the ancient past who is the precursor to the filolial species and is a dear friend to Shield Hero Mamoru Shirono.

Appearance
In her original form, Filolia looks like a small girl with long blonde hair. After her revival, Filolia gained permanent red wings on her back from the Suzaku infusion. According to Naofumi she looks like a filolial in human form - a mixture of Fitoria and R'yne.

Personality
Upon introduction, Filolia seems to be a chuunibyou - giving herself bold titles and proclaiming her importance. Her childish personality strongly reminds Naofumi of Filo. However, she is willing to get serious when the situation calls for it. Despite her careless outside appearance, she does have a strong moral compass.

Skywing
Filolia was formerly a skywing demi-human but was transformed into a skywing-Suzaku Guardian Beast hybrid after being revived. It seems she still has her skywing abilities but some of them have been enhanced.


 * Optical Wings: The signature ability of the skywing race. These allow the user to fly and increase power but require a significant amount of stamina, magic power and life force. Filolia's wings have been infused with an aspect of the Suzaku. Filolia can emit flames from these wings at will.

Background
Filolia used to be a resident from S'yne's world until she was summoned to Raphtalia's World in the ancient past to become the Vassal Claw hero. She, Mamoru and R'yne created a party and worked as heroes for a while until they fought a Guardian Beast named Suzaku. During that battle, Filolia sacrificed herself to save Siltran.

The Suzaku Guardian Beast absorbed Filolia's soul but was defeated before it was able to use it. With the help of a Uhtne Jimna demi-human, Mamoru was able to obtain the fragment of Suzaku which contained Filolia's soul. To inject the fragment into Filolia's body, he created a homunculus body using some of Suzaku. He then worked tirelessly with Holn to revive her.

Volume 21
With some help from Cian, Naofumi is able to uncover Mamoru's secret experiments - including Filolia's revival. After a quick confrontation, Raph-chan offers to help revive Filolial with her spiritual powers. After a long night's work, Raph-chan successfully extracts Filolia's soul from the Suzaku fragment. With Holn's guidance and the Vassal Claw's power, they inject it in Filolia's homunculus body. After the initial infusion, it was predicted to take several days before Filolia will stabilize.

Mamoru Shirono
After Filolia was summoned to become the Vassal Claw hero, see began working with Mamoru. They quickly built a friendship and eventually fell in love. They were bound to get married before Filolia was killed by the Suzaku guardian beast. Mamoru's grief drove Mamoru to questionable experiments to get stronger and revive her.

Filolia feels guilt for the ethical lines crossed in order to revive her - as shown by her rare serious moments when she reprimanded the children with Mamoru for letting him stray so far.

R'yne
R'yne and Filolia are sisters. Once Filolial was summoned to Raphtalia's World to become the Vassal Claw hero, R'yne saught her out and eventually found her. While R'yne seems to care deeply for her sister, the feelings aren't completely reciprocated. It seems that to Filolia, R'yne is a reminder of a past she doesn't care for.
