The Shape of Willpower: Faya

In ancient times, there was a land named Esperia,
where harmony prevailed, thanks to the 7 Shapes.

Faya was the Shape of Willpower.
Her color was a fiery red, like the burning flame of a fire.
Just like fire, she represented the will to try new things and embrace new challenges.
Though adversity can often seem too hard to overcome,
Faya was there to help, one step at a time,
like a gentle fire that grows stronger and becomes a warm source of light for everyone around.

Like the other Shapes, her fire flourished in the presence of love,
and, because trying new things can be demanding on the body,
it needed good physical health to burn brightly.
Faya reminded everyone that being aware of our limits was just as important,
for without balance, there could be no harmony in Esperia.

But after the Eclipse,
it became harder and harder for a natural fire to ignite in the hearts of humans.
For those who still had it, the fire grew darker,
as strength became the ruling force—
no longer guided by balance or the lessons of respect and empathy.
