Durbar (DURBAR) is a witch from the mobile game Magia Record.
Witch Card
The ikigami witch. Her nature is ablutions. A Witch that perpetually cleanses herself of her sins. In order to wash away the sins soaked deep into her core, she must soak herself thoroughly in water at all times. The countless eyes on her tongue see into the future, but she has got no time for that, instead worrying about the unending impurities ahead. She is fated to purify herself, only ceasing once all her sins are gone. Those who interrupt her purification will be attacked by floods of water and bolts of lightning, and when her sins trickle down upon the intruder, their souls will be stained to death. |
Minions
Minions of the ikigami witch. Their role is to be chamberlains. These minions are always clinging to their Witch's feet so they can attend to her needs. The holy water that gushes forth from their Witch's purification rites can cause them to dissolve, so they are always running around to dodge it. Still, their passion for their charge holds strong - they will not leave her side until the day comes when she is completely purified. However, they feed upon the sins that gush out of her to survive, so they will be in for a rough ride if she does manage to cleanse herself completely. |
