Farangis (ファランギース) is a major character in The Heroic Legend of Arslan and a playable character in Arslan: The Warriors of Legend.
On the day of Arslan's birth, it was prophesied that a priestess of Mithra shall be ordained the prince's guardian. Farangis was chosen. She suspects she was formally dismissed due to the other priestesses' jealousy of her beauty, yet her personal disdain for Lusitanian practices urges her to duty. Farangis converses with the spirits and uses her might to protect Arslan.
Personality
Cool-headed and candid Farangis is a perceptive woman of grace. She favors rationality and fairness in life, seeking to restore harmony to the people and spiritual world. If danger encroaches her or her allies, however, Farangis has no inhibitions taking arms. Battle is a necessary evil to defend her values and to end the war. Acknowledging her beauty and its unintended effects on others, she takes no pride in it. She can also hold her liquor and can remain sober against the heaviest drinks.
Though driven to him by her mission, her loyalty towards Arslan becomes genuine as she gets accustomed to the prince's judgments. Gieve and Kubard wish to woo her, and she tends to stomp on their advances in a heartbeat. The lone man who did warm her heart, Eagleelus, died many years before the main setting; her love and affections still remain with him.
