User:A, Mori/Patala

Story
Patala was one of the Grand Hell Psychopomps during the time of Supreme Hell Psychopomp Irkalla. When Irkalla fell due to the corruption that was brought about by the creation of the OKTE, it was designated that Patala was the most eligible and available person to fill the position in Irkalla's absence, so she was appointed to Supreme Hell Psychopomp.

Patala held the position for a sizable amount of time.

After Zaion arrived in Hell and disbanded from the group of people who sought to meet them there, the isolated person was found and met by Patala. Patala, recognizing Zaion's talent, decided to recruit them as a Psychopomp, and eventually had them promoted to the role of a Grand Hell Psychopomp.

It is known that Zaion and Patala both had feelings for one another, though throughout their time they apparently did not seriously express their feelings or engage in a serious relationship.

At one point, there was an incident that arose because of Caprius attempted to cause an uproar in Hell, demanding to be able to play the Grim Game so that she could (have a chance to) return to life, and gaining a following of demons and lost souls to help stir up unrest. As the Princes showed indifference and inaction to Caprius' acts, Patala took it upon herself to take action and suppress Caprius. Patala was able to disband many of the forces of Caprius' following, however, she apparently underestimated the power of Caprius herself, and was, surprisingly, slain by her.

Having already died once and not been technically revived, Patala's soul was destroyed and her existence was ceased. In a furious response, Zaion came and savagely attacked Caprius, going beyond suppressing into submission, and attempting to cease Caprius' existence in return. Zaion was almost successful in doing this, but it was stalled by Dea and ultimately prevented when, upon discovery of Zaion's deeds, they were declared the next Supreme Hell Psychopomp.

After her death, Zaion apparently honors her memory by wearing a ring given to them by Patala on her finger. It's implied that the loss of Patala was traumatic to Zaion and that they have not yet been able to recover or move past it.

Trivia

 * Patala, originating from Indian religions, is the denotation of the subterranean realms of the universe, located under the earth. The word Patala itself is often translated as "underworld" or "netherworld". Loka also orginates from Indian religions and is the name used for the seven regions of which Patala is composed.
 * The reasoning behind Patala's name is because of her connection to Hell, which can be considered the canonical equivalent of an "underworld"/"netherworld".
 * Patala being associated with snakes, or Naga, connects to a slight snake motif seen in the character.
