Profile

Pahsiv is called a "fairy" that looks after and protects Erinnyes Forest. In reality, she is, in fact, a vishap who can take on melusine form. She uses a limited amount of words, most notably "pahsiv" for yes and "Melusine" for no. She was not aware of other Melusines, Merusea Village, or the Court of Fontaine until much later.

During the events of The Wild Fairy of Erinnyes, the Traveler and Paimon encounter her by chance when solving a puzzle in the Erinnyes Forest. The two deduce that she was trying to restore the Weeping Willow of the Lake, which had been defiled by a Root-Consuming Tumor and a riftwolf nest. They assisted her in purging the defilement; when the riftwolves attacked, she fled, though upon seeing that they restored the tree's help, she returned with several chests to reward them for their efforts.

Her only acquaintance prior to the A Gift From the Sea Spirits quest is Neuvillette, who frequently patrolled Erinnyes Forest and made contact with her. Pahsiv called him "New Valet". Neuvillette issued a recommendation for visitors not to visit Erinnyes's depths, likely because of the secret of her and the Bathysmal Vishaps.^[3] During the quest, she was seen following the Melusine Puca around for a bit, saving her from an Armored Crab and bringing a large amount of tidalga for her to eat while in her vishap form. When Neuvillette was informed about the mystery vishap, he realized that he hadn't checked up on her recently and went back with the Melusines to Elynas, discovering her watching them from a short distance. The Melusines, grateful for her rescue, rewarded Pahsiv with a huge tidalga feast. Puca, seeing her as a friend and wondering how they could remain in contact, gifted Pahsiv her signboard, which she greatly appreciated and took with her as she returned to the seas.

By the time of this encounter, she appears to have somewhat improved her ability to speak human language, able to say "the Traveler" and "Paimon" as well as slightly more coherent sentence structure. She also showed awareness of the things she previously denied knowing about, as she nervously recognized the melusines, likely due to her interactions with Neuvillette.

Pahsiv later wandered around the Liffey Region, captivated by some tidalga she was harvesting while unaware that she was in the presence of the Fortress of Meropide's searchlights, resulting in some overzealous guards apprehending her for trespassing. The light made her feel hungry, and Wriothesley, who investigated the matter, initially believed she was a Melusine, though he noted her unusual appetite for only tidalga and enigmatic way of speaking. Wriothesley went out to gather some tidalga for her, and when he returned, found the Traveler and Paimon in his office. He warned Pahsiv to be cautious of her surroundings, remarking that it would be akin to being watched by an anglerfish, which she couldn't understand. He called Neuvillette, who arrived shortly after the Traveler, explaining to him what made her special before she left with him.^[4]

Appearance

In Pahsiv's true form, she uses a standard Primordial Bathysmal Vishap model. In her melusine form she has a colour scheme reminiscent of her true form — her skin and hair are dark blue and eyes are pink with vertical pupils, unlike with Melusines.

Trivia

• Pahsiv was strongly hinted to be a shapeshifting Vishap before its confirmation in World Quest A Gift From the Sea Spirits:
  • Her given name, when reversed, spells out "vishap." Her skin and clothing share a similar color hue as a Bathysmal Vishap.
  • Like the Vassals of Watatsumi/Reptilians, Pahsiv has snake-like eyes with vertical pupils. Additionally, her eyes are the same color as a Primordial Bathysmal Vishap.
  • Pahsiv is also able to calm down a Primordial Bathysmal Vishap.
  • While the Traveler is fighting Rifthounds at the Roots of Erinnyes in the World Quest Within the Depths of Erinnyes in Series The Wild Fairy of Erinnyes, Pahsiv disappears and a Vishap appears to assist the Traveler with fighting the Rifthounds.
• After completing World Quest A Gift From the Sea Spirits, returning to Pahsiv's cave while not yet having cleared out her shop, the sign that Puca gave her of Neuvillette's likeness can be seen behind her.
