Background / History

An earlier account identifies Seele Vollerei as Bronya's friend, whose disappearance during the X-10 experiment motivated Bronya and Cocolia's mission to Chang Kong City 2.

In Belobog's Lower District, Seele serves with Underworld Fire. She treats the organization as the local authority: visitors are expected to follow its rules, seek its help when necessary, and remain wary even of its members 37. She is responsible for protecting local people and places, including a garden near Rivet Town and the mining area that sustains the Underworld's supply line 42 46.

Personality

Seele is blunt, guarded, and quick to judge danger. She distrusts strangers who place confidence in her too easily, warning Fang Jie not to trust anyone in the Underworld Fire—including herself 37. Despite this harshness, she helps injured outsiders and recognizes the value they may bring to the Lower District 37.

She tends to act before overthinking, especially when a threat endangers her territory. Her protective instinct is strongest around the garden she has taken responsibility for and the people threatened by the Cleft 41 42. As she travels with Fang Jie, she becomes more curious about the world beyond the Underworld and more comfortable teasing him 41 45.
