Background
Rifana was childhood friends with Raphtalia and Keel when they lived in the same village. She had dreams of marrying the Shield Hero, as legend says that he is kind to Demi-Humans. After the destruction of her village, she along with Raphtalia were sold as slaves. Rifana was then tortured to death, dying in the arms of Raphtalia in the original timeline.
