The Maiden With Honey Lips |
This is the land where I was born. The land where I fell in love. The land where I gave birth to my son. And the land where I was finally laid to rest at the Tree of Life.I do not need an excuse to defend this land, Chaldea.
My place as a Mother is to nurture and protect life. It is the duty of my children to decide the fate of this world. The children born of this land must decide if they will live or perish.
Chaldea… outsiders like you… have no place in it.

Background |
“One day… without fail… one day… they will stop hurting. They will stop suffering. I believe in them. I love them from the bottom of my heart. Because no child is born in this world to suffer. My children, they’ve been fighting for so long even after this world was deemed a failure. They suffered for so long…
It’s not right.
I refuse to accept it.
And so does that Child.
Those born in this land will know happiness. They will know peace, old age and the embrace of the earth. They deserve it!
Not to be erased like this. As their mother, as the one who stands at the origin of this people who have clumsily stumbled through 500 years of history. I refused to let it end here.”
The Maiden with Honey Lips
Mother of the First Brazilian
The Girl buried beneath the Tree of Life
Iracema’s tale marks the melding of the Old and New World. A tale of new land accepting and loving those who came from far away leading to the birth of something altogether new. The people who will eventually inherit the land where she was born. In this manner, Iracema is the boundary which separates the New World from the outside world. Only those whom she accepts as her ‘children’ have the right to live and prosper in the Amazonic Lostbelt.
But that was not who she originally was.
Instead, she was a virgin sworn to the service of the Thunder God, Tupã. Who knew the secrets of creating his sacred wine.
Only her life took a turn when she fell in love with an outsider, an ally of her tribe’s sworn enemies. Someone she should have hated on sight and abandoned to the elements. She moved him to safety instead, nursed him back to health at the sacred grove of the Thunder God.
Fed him the Thunder God’s wine to save his life.
Iracema was nothing but dutiful and determined. Falling in love, however, changed who that duty and determination was aligned for. And marked a downturn which saw her exiled by her people, left to fend for herself as her lover answered his allies call to war against their ancestral enemies.
Iracema was left alone.
She birthed her son all alone.
And then left this world when the boy’s father returned. Her body was buried beneath a palm tree as her lover and child departed.
“Lostbelt? Alien God? It seems you have mistaken me. It’s not my obligation to care about the world beyond these shores. I will keep outsiders away so that you and your siblings can make the choice. Whether this world should be pruned or not… its up to you.”
|
Personality |
Possessed of a maternal disposition, Iracema excels on her role of protector and nurturer, considering all of those who succeeded her son Moacir as her own children and treating them as those worthy of shaping the destiny of her homeland. Her protective instinct is such that in her presence all those classified under the ‘born in brazil’ category will receive a passive ability boost.
Unlike more receptive Matriarch figures, Iracema believes that all her descendants are ‘born of pain’ and must struggle throughout their lives in order to become respectable adults. As such, a nation in a state of disarray where her children can go through ordeals and become stronger as a result is a perfect environment.
Ironically and somewhat hypocritically, she dislikes when outsiders attempt to meddle with her children, acting to purge individuals who don’t have the qualifications to be her ‘child’. Believing that the decision of whether the
Lostbelt should remain or be pruned is up to her ‘children’ and not outsiders.
Of course, she will only interfere if said outsiders attempt to disrupt the Lostbelt.
She can be surprisingly courteous and a graceful host. Allowing travelers safe passage through her domain, feeding, healing and clothing them if they so require. She is a secretive woman who has her own agenda regarding the fate of the Amazonic Lostbelt and the survival of humanity.
“I don’t see what the issue is. It’s only right that the children of this land be the ones to make that choice. Anyone else would just get in the way of their growth.”

Class Skills |
Territory Defense - [A]
|
A Skill defining the Gatekeeper Class. It denotes the ability to steadfastly guard a designated place. While the user remains in position, their defensive capabilities receive a significant boost. At the same time, the Skill’s effects are dependent on the Gatekeeper’s ability to repel invaders - should the user let intruders through, the effects of Territory Defense would be lost.
|
Magic Resistance - [A]
|
A Skill of the Gatekeeper Class, it denotes one’s ability to disperse magical damage. Iracema, due to her connection to the Tree of Life and the high density mana which exists in the Amazonic Lostbelt has a high degree of resistance to spells, able to resist any damage but greater rituals.
|
Divinity - [A]
|
Being connected to Carnaúba, the Tree of Life through her Noble Phantasm, Iracema possesses a high degree of Divinity, which has increased due to the abnormal conditions of the Amazonic Lostbelt, where the Age of Gods never ended.
|
Personal Skills |
Thunder God’s Wine - [D]
|
Iracema’s ability to brew what is called the ‘Jurema’, a beverage said to belong to the Thunder God, Tupã, and used regularly by wise sages of many tribes. The quality of the product ends up being quite lower than usual due to Iracema breaking her vows to remain a maiden. Before, a single drink would have been able to gift someone great strength, raw magical energy and the ability to foretell the near future, but now she needs to produce enough to immerse someone on it to achieve the same effects.
|
Matriarch’s Pedigree - [A]
|
As the Mother of the First Brazilian, Iracema possess a special link with those who belong to her ‘bloodline’. While connected to the Tree of Life, this ability manifests as an instinctive knowledge of all those connected to her ‘family tree’, their location, health, as well as granting her the ability to communicate with them. She can also control those who possess fragments of the Carnaúba implanted in their bodies.
|
Nhanderuvuçú - [D]
|
The divine words reffered to as the ‘Voice of the Thunder God’. Those able to speak this ancient language are able to shape and command the ‘energy of the world’, giving it both life and purpose. Commonly used by primordial humans and their immediate descendants, Iracema is capable of using them due to her status as a priestess of the Thunder God. Though the effectiveness is reduced, allowing her to perform simple rituals and spells which affect the weather.
|
Blessing of the Land - [EX]
|
Being directly connected to Carnaúba, the Tree of Life, Iracema possesses what is known as the ‘Blessing of the Land’, a power which causes her body to grow exponentially and to recover from all non-lethal wounds. As a Gatekeeper, Iracema represents the boundary which separates the inside of Brazil from the Outside. Her child being the first one to be acknowledged as a ‘Brazilian’. Meaning that all who are summoned or cross the boundary of her territory will be judged according to her standards. The farther away from her vision of a 'child' the individual is, the higher the penalty their physical, mental and magical abilities will incur.

Noble Phantasm |
Carnaúba: Maiden’s Grave, the Tree of Life |
EX-Rank / Anti-Life |
|
The sacred grove where Iracema nursed the explorer Martim back to health. Feeding him the secret wine of the thunder god. It was there that Iracema discovered love and abandoned her role as Tupã's Priestess. And it was there where Iracema was buried when she passed away after giving birth to Martin's son.
Or so the tale goes.
But the truth is seldom cut and dry.
The grove indeed belonged to the Thunder God, Tupã. And it was indeed there that Iracema broke her vows and abandoned her position as maiden. But the tree under which she was buried was no simple palm tree, but the Carnaúba, a palm tree reffered to as the Tree of Life.
When Iracema is summoned, she summons her ‘grave’ alongside herself, a massive tree with mystical properties on the same level as the Burning Tree [Andurá] and theAncestral Tree [Pindovy]. It grows and spreads, determining Iracema’s territory the larger it becomes.
At its maximum size, Iracema’s influence will cover the entirety of the Amazonic Lostbelt.
Not only is she completely aware of everything that happens within her territory, it also cannot be dispelled as other Gatekeeper fortifications would be, requiring the tree itself to be destroyed rather than just having its perimeter breached. Iracema is able to manifest clones of herself through the roots of the Tree of Life as well as familiars.
Even if her ‘limbs’ are destroyed, Iracema will simply reform from the Tree of Life.
If Carnaubá is allowed to grow to full size, it will become something akin to a Divine Spirit’s Authority over the land, surpassing even the local Fantasy Tree, Needle while fulfilling the same functions.

“My dear son who returned home at last. Carrying within himself a piece of the Ancestral Tree no less. I expect great things from him. Perhaps he will be the one to rid this land of the tyranny imposed upon it by those reckless foreign gods. This land belongs to MY children.”
|
Carlota Joaquina |
“You may not have been born here, but you were accepted nonetheless. Your denial of this bond between you and my children is nothing but a childish tantrum, dear. It will pass soon enough.”
|
Pedro I |
“Poor boy. You have been fighting nonstop to protect your siblings. That’s good, I adore when my children get along.. but hmm… maybe you should try and rest more often.”
|
Aqualtune |
“Your children are my children. I don’t see what the issue is. The children of Pindorama have always been ‘born of pain’. Me taking sides would deprive them of the chance to grow and learn. Put that knife away, dear. You may have the power of a foreign goddess, but in this land its nothing but a trinket.”
|
Sebastian I |
“A fledgling god summoned by the aching hearts of my children? Nay. You are but an imposter claiming you will save them only to rule them as El Dorado has. Life or Oblivion is their choice to make? Step out of their way, Wished King.”
|
King Momo |
“Karma Rejection is such a strange thing, isn’t it? This version of you couldn’t be more different than the original, yet you wholeheartedly embrace the vision my children have of you.”
|
The Golden King |
