This backstory is a work in progress and subject to change soon.

Flick's real name is Sodenia, and she was a small child from the precursor era. Having lost her life to the Unyielding Flame's ever-consuming inferno, she became a Sprite, possessing object after object for generations until she eventually wandered into the Precursor Labyrinth and accidentally possessed the Unyielding Flame itself while curiously inspecting it. The Unyielding Flame's power caused her to lose her memory, and she unconsciously wandered to the Temple of Valstar. However, thanks to Flick's true innocence, due to being only a child, did not become corrupt with power from the Unyielding Flame. Instead, she managed to control the Flame, condensing it into the small fire on her head.

During the final fight with Dimas, it is clear the protagonists cannot truly defeat her, as she will continue to rise and destroy Elutheria forever. Flick decides to sacrifice herself, as she-- being the Unyielding Flame-- could permanently destroy Dimas, but this would also destroy the Unyielding Flame, and therefore, her. After a heartfelt goodbye, Flick plunges herself into Dimas' chest, overwhelming her with power and destroying her forever.

In-game, Flick serves as a mysterious motivator for the player to uncover her true origin. The protagonists initially meet her in the Temple of Valstar, where she is distressed because she has lost her memory and cannot remember her name. To calm her down, Alina gives her the nickname "Flick" until she can remember her real name. Flick is so thankful for the adorable nickname that she swears to help the protagonists any way she can, and begins following them around.
