Personality

Appearance
Fone has black hair, yellow-green eyes, and brown skin. As this incarnation came before Vann, he lacks the facial mark that defines his other incarnations.

History
Fone was born in an unknown village in South America. As he grew up, he discovered his ability to speak with the spirits of the nearby forest. When he told his father, he warned Fone not to reveal this, since the priests believed only they could do this.

One day, while speaking to the spirits in the forest, he met a girl named Rei who was looking for medicine for her sickly mother. After relaying the spirits' information about useful herbs, she gathered them and returned home. She later came back to thank Fone for helping her out, and the two became friends.

Over the next two years, the two of them grew closer together, until they became lovers. During this time, Fone crafted a pair of sandals specifically for her.

When Fone learned that Rei was going to be that year's sacrifice, he was shocked. Although he tried to convince her to run away with him, Rei declined, stating that her death was for the benefit of all the villagers. After thinking it over, Fone decided to save her no matter what.

On the day of the ritual, Fone interrupted the silent prayer by running up to the altar. He fought his way up the altar stairs, where he saw that Rei had already been killed. When he rushed up to the priestess who killed her, he managed to tear her mask off, but was also killed in the process.

Relationships
Rei: Fone's friend and lover. Although initially wary around her, the two of them eventually started to get along after Fone helped her find the herbs she needed for her mother's medicine. Fone was distraught about her becoming a sacrifice, which led to his attempt at saving her. After his death and rebirth, he found solace after Kouko told him that Rei specifically chose to wear his shoes during the ritual.

Stona: The priestess conducting Rei's sacrifice ritual. Fone barely knew her, as her was killed shortly after unmasking her. However, when he saw Stona's face, he recognized her appearance (although not knowing how specifically).

Etymology
Fone comes from the English word foehn, which is "a warm dry wind blowing down the leeward side of a mountain."
