SMFNDKDNS OF COURSE 🤚 morise isn’t a biological daughter but a clone that ixora created through a self-genesis method that she learned from sotha sil. ixora wanted to clone herself as a means to carry on protection of her sanctuary and divine relics, so she sought to make a sort of “Ixorada II”— herself, in some aspects, but improved in other aspects (for example, free of the padomay’s serpentine corruption.) of course, there were risks, and the birth of a conduit equal in power to ixora caused a timeline split where morise dies, and another timeline where she survives. morisephona is raised by ixora’s handmaidens and grows resentful of her “mother,” believing that she is not seen as her own person and simply an extension of her mother. when she becomes an adult, she initially rejects ixora’s bidding to become keeper of the loop, which causes ixora to do a heel-faced turn and realize that morise is, indeed, her own person, and that she deserves to be treated as such.
