Fushigi Yuugi: Genbu Kaiden |
Filka (Fuiruka), real name Efinluka Rowun (Iafinruka Roun), is a supporting character from Fushigi Yuugi Genbu Kaiden. At first, she just seems to be a young woman who is part of a secret tribe that has been created to help and support the Priestess and her warriors (Urudai Tribe), but in truth, she is the princess of Hokkan, cousin of Uruki, and the daughter of Tegiru Rowun.
She is familiar with how to do a variety of traditional Hokkan ceremonies such as funerals, and is a trained fighter in the Urudai Tribe's army. She is the one who performs the ceremony to allow Soruen's soul to pass on. Her background is similar to Takiko's; her father wanted a son, and she was shunned for being born a girl (Einosuke realized how wrong this was and tried to atone, whereas Tegiru kept neglecting Filka). After her mother died, she ran away and joined the Odo Tribe.
She discovers Rimudo wounded and unconscious and brings him back to her village to try and help him. She wants to help and spend time with the warriors and the priestess, whom she's spent her entire life waiting for.
She has a unknown history with Hagas (whom she takes care of), and tells him she is able to reunite him with Teg. She believes that her growing love for Hagas is impossible and unrequited, but later Teg tells her that his brother loved her back.
At the end, Filka is all but stated to have married Teg. Their great-grandson, who strongly resembles her, was raised by Emperor Rimudo and appointed heir to the throne after his mentor, who remained single after Takiko's death, died of old age without a direct heir.
Personality[]
Filka is a very skilled and capable warrior. The man she develops romantic feelings for is the aforementioned Hagas, whom she helped out by giving him a medicinal stone that let him live longer; she's sad and depressed because she believes that he doesn't love her back, but according to Hagas' brother Teg, he loved her back but couldn't tell her since he would die soon.
While Filka comes along as soft-spoken at first sight, she is very brave and somewhat impulsive.
Story[]
- "This man, whose eyes are always looking off far into the distance..I may actually never be reflected in those eyes of his. But why is it that I wish to see him once more? Just once more?"
- —Filka, about Hagas
Early Life[]
Efinluka is the daughter of Tegiru Rowun and is a legitimate princess. Her father, unsatisfied and disappointed she is not a boy, ignores her for the majority of her childhood. Two years before Takiko meets Tegiru in the Hokkan palace, Filka's mother dies. Filka runs away from the court and joins the Odo Tribe, with a strong will to aid the priestess.
