Appearance

Although their appearance while alive is unknown, as a ghost, Fext is a tall, grey, wispy figure that resembles a Raposa.

Story

Before Ocean

Fext was born a Raposa in a village called Liškaměsto many centuries ago. Somehow, they died, but lived on as a ghost on the shores of Ex-Isle before it was a penal colony. Eventually, their native tongue became unknown, and after more centuries passed made friends with the Raposa on the island. After Ex-Isle became what it is today, Fext's friends left, and the exiles and Royal Guards did not believe that Fext existed.

The Lavasteam Chronicles Part Two

For some time, Fext became friends with some of the exiles sentenced to the island. Eventually, they became friends with Ocean, who considered them her best friend on the island behind her mother. They were included in the picture Ocean drew, although at the time, Ocean did not know Fext's name.

Some time later, Fext showed themself to Robigo, who was about to be kidnapped by Salem. They tried to warn her, but due to linguistic differences, Robigo couldn't understand them. Ocean walked into the room with her plush Star Baki, and they tried to warn her as well. When Salem walked into the room, Fext dashed towards the Raposa in an attempt to hide them, but Robigo dove out of the way. When they picked up Ocean, she dropped her plush, but Fext covered it up as well. The two of them watched as Salem kidnapped Robigo and revealed himself as Wilfre. Fext releases Ocean and listens as Ocean, along with Kacha, Byetts, Oma, Colepere, and Elodie, discuss how to proceed.

After Wilfre drains the color from the island and the Creator restores it, Fext searches for Ocean, and watches as Baki Beard's Revenge docks with Ocean on it. However, when they try to get her attention, they realize that she can't see them.

Haunted Rivers

After Mike, Heather, and the Shadow are expelled from the Raposa realm, Fext hears a voice call out to them from deep in the island. Fext flies towards the voice until they come across the Mannequite inside the island. The crystal calls out to Fext to touch the stone, so they comply. The light from the crystal begins to flow onto Fext, giving them a new body.

With the new body, Fext runs up the stairs to the mess hall, seeing Ocean leave the island and return to the ship. Fext calls out to her, but she still can't hear them. They ask the voice why she can't hear him, and the voice responds that they don't have enough influence to leave the island yet. Fext asks how to gain more influence, so the voice takes over the body to announce their return to the Raposa in the mess hall. Brûlées asks who the voice is, and the voice responds by calling themself Allight.

The Lavasteam Chronicles Part Three

A year later, Fext converses with Allight, asking if the two of them would ever get enough influence to leave the island. Allight suggests that Fext try to reach out to those they had physical contact with - Ocean and Robigo. Fext is hesitant, but complies. They are unable to reach out to Robigo, due to her being unconscious in the Giant Robosa at the time, and when Fext reaches out to Ocean, she passes out. Coming back to, Fext and Allight get word from Brûlées that a passenger ship was spotted at the docks, so Allight goes down to meet it.

At the docks, Allight enthralls Alphonse, much to Fext's dismay. As an apology, Allight allows Fext to pick who would be the thralls to help expand their reach. Fext decides on Harsonist and Doria, and Flame joins the group of his own will. The four Raposa then travel to Watersong, landing by the beach, and Allight begins to enthrall the rest of Watersong's population. Just then, a ship carrying Kacha, Elodie, Colepere, and a sleeping Byetts docks, so Allight enthralls them as well.

Later on, Allight, Harsonist, Doria, and Flame sail to the rooftops district, where they enthrall the remaining Watersong population, including Mayor Rose and Meeny. The group takes a break, but Fext realizes that many of Allight's thralls are forgetting parts of themselves, so they beg Allight to let some of them go. However, Allight refuses, and suddenly, she senses a new Hero, calling her thralls to arms at the rooftops port.

At the port, Allight watches as the Bane of Kings and Baki Beard's Revenge close in. Allight's armada boards their ships, and slowly begins to enthrall the passengers. Allight comes face to face with the Hero, and Fext breaks forward to beg the Hero to kill them to stop Allight's plans. However, the Hero does not, and Allight enthralls everyone on the ships. Fext gets very upset that Ocean was enthralled, and when Allight notices Meeny pretending to still be enthralled, she shed Fext and takes Meeny as her next host. Fext begs Allight to stop, but cannot, and flies back to Ex-Isle.

On the island, Fext encounters the Hero once more when Turtle Rock docks on the island, and they help the group aboard the ship evade Allight. However, now armed with the Ruby Earring, Allight in Meeny's body sends all the Ex-Isle thralls to fight Mari, Jowee, Eeny, and the Hero. During the fight, the Mannequite shards froze all the thralls in place, and the group tries to escape to Turtle Rock.

However, inside Creation Hall, Allight has enthralled Stumps and kidnapped Banny, using the two of them as leverage for Heather's Pendant. During the negotiations, Meeny is mortally wounded, and Fext recommends using the shards to find a medical expert, leading to the revival of Peppy Lot. Peppy heals both Meeny and Banny, and after a few more thralls are revived, everyone teleports off the island, leaving Fext, Peppy, and some frozen thralls behind.

Fext and Peppy spend some time discussing Fext's past, and with some urging from Peppy, Fext reaches out to Ocean to reach out to Harsonist, freeing both of them from Allight's control. Peppy thanks Fext, and the two of them restore the rest of the Ex-Isle thralls. Fext brings back Turtle Rock, which had sunk from a fire that Allight started, and Peppy, Fext, Alphonse, and the Royal Guards set sail to Lavasteam to join the fight against Allight.

When they get close to Lavasteam, the group sees Allight charging up a massive attack, and Fext realizes that to stop her, they must do it from the inside. After saying their goodbyes to Ocean, Fext collides with Allight, who instinctively becomes corporeal again. Allight begins to panic as her attack dwindles in size, and Fext reveals a color shard that they plunge into their chest, killing both Fext and Allight once and for all.

Quotes

“I'm alone again. My friends have left me and people can't see me.” –Fext “Ocean! You're back for me! Thanks friend!” –Fext “I can hear your voice but I can't see you. where are you?” –Fext “I don't have the body to break this crystal. I'm sorry, but I can't help you.” –Fext “Please let me go! It hurts! What are you doing to me?” –Fext “Ocean! Wait for me! I can go with you now!” –Fext As Allight “Influence? How do we get more?” –Fext

“Yes, I am alright. Did I say that right?” –Fext “I am sorry, this language is… how do you say, ah, very difficult?” –Fext “Thank you. This language is very difficult to learn, madam. Thank you both for your help.” –Fext “Are you sure that this is okay? I do not know what you did, but in the many years I lived on this island, Sigil has said no words.” –Fext “I tried reaching Ocean, but I am afraid her mind is not able to handle both of us.” –Fext “I tried to find her as well, but her mind seems to be blocked, so I cannot get in.” –Fext “Yes, Ocean and Robigo were the only people I directly encountered.” –Fext “Patrol boats appear sometimes, but not long enough for us to reach them.” –Fext “Uhh, I am sorry young one, but I am afraid you must stay here, with us.” –Fext As Allight “I agreed to help you off the island, but I did not agree to possessing children!” –Fext “Are you not possessing my body at this moment?” –Fext “Fine, but I will be able to choose the Raposa to travel. We will be bringing Harsonist and Doria. The two of them know Watersong very well.” –Fext “It would be very nice to have another Raposa on this quest. Thank you for offering Flame.” –Fext As Allight “Of course I did not. When I was alive, there was no Watersong. Did you know that reaching out to Ocean would have possibly influenced her?” –Fext “The threat was still present Allight! You promised that no children would be brought into this campaign of yours, and you already broke that promise with Alphonse! I already feel uncomfortable with you influencing Ocean’s friends.” –Fext “Well, that was my doing. My name is Fext. It is nice to see you again Byetts.” –Fext As Allight “Why can he not remember?” –Fext “Something is wrong here Allight. I think you need to let him go.” –Fext “What is wrong?” –Fext “Allight! What is going on?” –Fext “Hero! Thank the Creator for you! Please kill this body, the plans it has for the Raposa realm are just as cruel as Wilfre’s.” –Fext As Allight “You are sorry for what? Allight? What are you doing?” –Fext “Allight! I will die if you do this! Please do not!” –Fext “We had a deal Allight! Look at what you’ve done to her! Whatever is in her head is not her mind!” –Fext “STOP ATTACKING ME!!! This is a serious problem! Can you three please offer me some help?” –Fext “Yes, I believe I am. I came to get your assistance, but I was attacked by the Creation Hero.” –Fext “The children are in danger. We need to get them off of the island immediately.” –Fext “Hello Stumps. Do you know where Banny is? I am not trying to hurt you friend. Did you see Banny leave the ship? That is all I need to know.” –Fext “The two of you need to stay in this building no matter what. Do not let her see you.” –Fext “That is everyone. We must get farther away from the ship!” –Fext “She is no longer with us. Now come, we must chase Allight!” –Fext “There are many guards and criminals still on this island. Surely one of them has experience with healing magic.” –Fext “I will also stay on the island. I have not been able to help much, so I would not like to get in the way.” –Fext “Is now the appropriate time for this conversation?” –Fext “Well, if you insist. I died many centuries ago, before any of the villages you know today.” –Fext “A village I knew as Liškaměsto, although it is now known as Rapoville. I do not remember how I died, but I do remember waking up on the shores of this island as a spirit.” –Fext “Yes. I made many friends in my death, but when Lavasteam and Watersong fought over the island, many of my friends ran away. When the exiles and guards arrived, no one believed that I existed until your friend Ocean.” –Fext “You all knew about me?” –Fext “Thank you for telling me this.” –Fext “That is unfortunatly correct. She tricked me into releasing her.” –Fext “Oh, oh dear. I am afraid I have some bad news. Although this news gives me an idea. Please give me a moment.” –Fext “If you can hear my voice, I want you to tell me your name.” –Fext Through Ocean “I need you to remember your home. Your friends. Peppy Lot. Being arrested for arson. Living with Sin Sin! You are more than just a shell for her light!” –Fext Through Ocean “Ocean, can you hear me?” –Fext “Yes, that is right! Thank you for telling everyone about me, Ocean.” –Fext “Can I ask you for a favor? I need you to gather as much color as you can for me. Whenever you find some, give it to everyone in Watersong. They are all possessed, and I cannot help any more of them now.” –Fext “I’m afraid so. There are a lot of color spots near you right now. Take Harsonist with you and go save Watersong.” –Fext “And thank you for loving me.” –Fext “Your friend is free now.” –Fext “Are you sure this is going to work?” –Fext “Alright then. Let us do this.” –Fext “Hello Alphonse. I know you do not know me, but I met you while you were under Allight’s control. My name is Fext.” –Fext “It is okay, child. I promise, I will help you get home.” –Fext “Yes, but it sunk to put out a fire.” –Fext “Hello Turtle Rock. Can I ask you for a favor?” –Fext “That is correct. We just need you to take us to Lavasteam so we can stop Allight. Then you may return to your rest.” –Fext “Thank you, Turtle Rock.” –Fext “I have to ask. All of the guards seem to respect you, an exile. Why is that?” –Fext “Why would they be scared of you? You are very kind.” –Fext “But you are still kind. If it wasn’t for you, Ocean and Harsonist would still be enthralled, and we would be stuck on that island.” –Fext “Yes, it is. I am afraid this might be the last time we see each other, so I wanted to say goodbye.” –Fext “I do not think Allight can be stopped like this. All this fighting is only hurting the people she possessed, not her. I am afraid there’s only one thing to do now.” –Fext “I am sorry, Ocean. Thank you for everything you have done for me. I am truly honored to be able to call myself your friend.” –Fext “Thank you for the invitation.” –Fext “I hope you can hear me you bastard. You may have given me a second life, but you just as quickly ripped it away from me.” –Fext “I’m putting all of this to an end, for good.” –Fext “Goodbye everyone. It has been a pleasure.” –Fext

“I hope you can hear me you bastard. You may have given me a second life, but you just as quickly ripped it away from me.” –Fext “I’m putting all of this to an end, for good.” –Fext
