An unofficial bust by Corruption of Champion's 2 main artist of Drifa as a valkyrie — a godsworn warrior maiden in service of Lumia. Despite it being a wonderful what-if piece where a Pure Drifa is exalted into being a divine herald of her own faith, working directly with her Goddess, this is something that'd forever be non-canon.
I did consider an epilogue thing where Lumia offers Drifa a chance to be a valkyrie that can do great things and fight terrible evils, but Drifa turns the offer down. The reason being that she likes her grounded way of life. She likes being with her family and loved ones. Drifa, by her nature, isn't a warrior; she's a
protector. And, to her, good can still be done through small, every day acts. She doesn't have grand aspirations of fighting the forces of darkness and saving the world from evil, she just wants to nurture and preserve the light that exists within it.
Drifa's beginning: "
To be honest... I'm scared. I'm not some great hero like you, [pc.name]. I'm just a girl from a small village that only knows a couple white magic spells."
Drifa's ending: "
I don't have to be some larger-than-life figure whose deeds are remembered in legend. I'm comfortable just being me — a girl from a small village."
