Past[]
Origins[]
Carmine Lake was originally one of the Poteau, one of the three pillars who guarded the Star God (Visitor), Elq Hrqstn, along with her fellow Poteau, Ebon Candle and Jade Nail. She came to the planet with the original race of ascendant humans called "Visitors." While all of the other Visitors began terra-forming the planet in the hopes of recreating their home world, Carmine Lake was mostly kept confined to the Visitor spaceship in order to raise and take care of Elq, along with the other two Poteau, Ebon Candle and Jade Nail.
Eventually, the Visitors started turning all of the natural creature inhabitants into Humans/Emnetwihts by breaking themselves into curse fragments. They also created the other races like the Lycantroposes to prevent the
Emnetwihts from growing too much. After this process was completed, Elq and the Poteau were left behind as one of the few remaining Visitors left. Elq and the Poteau then went into a deep sleep that lasted for hundred and thousands of years.
War with the Emnetwihts[]
As hundred and thousands of years went by, the curse that kept that Emnetwihts in their human forms eventually started to fade. Faced with the prospect of eventually turning back into beasts, the humans formed an organization called 'True World' that naturally sought to recreate the curse that kept them humans. Eventually, the group discovered that they could this achieved by using the corpse of a Visitor.
With that idea in mind, the Emnetwihts created the Regal Braves, the Carillons and various military weapons to take control of other nations and to combat the Poteau and Elq with. Sensing the danger to Elq, Jade Nail left the sanctuary where Elq was held and started a war with the humans. After a while, Carmine Lake soon left to find him. Eventually, Carmine Lake and Ebon Candle joined the battle with him too.
Final Battle[]
Eventually, the humans naturally isolated themselves from the other species because of their militant ways, so they sought one last battle to decide the fate of the world. During the final battle of the Poteau's War against the Emnetwihts, Carmine Lake fought against some Regal Braves and managed to kill them, before dying herself. One year later, Carmine Lake found herself to be devoured by La Chanteuse who sucked her into her dream world as she was devouring the entire city of Gomag. Her soul then remained with La Chanteuse until she was destroyed, 500 years later.
Meeting Nephren Ruq Insania[]
Upon breaking out of Chanteur's dream world, Nephren is separated from Willem and instead finds Carmine floating around her as an illusion. Carmine explains she was separated from her previous host, Elq, and tells Nephren to return to the floating islands and find Eboncandle so they could locate Elq. Upon being asked about the fate of Willem, Carmine states they witnessed Willem turning into a beast, to which Nephren responds she wanted to find Willem and snuggle up to him regardless whether he is a beast or not.

Meeting Willem Kmetsch[]
Carmine and Nephren search for Willem and eventually find him in a hotel. Carmine is frustrated at Willem for 'pretending to lose his memories', but upon further inspection, notices the curse placed on him and expresses their surprise that such a talented spell-caster was still alive. Carmine later meets Elq and allows her to stay with Willem for a while. [SukaSuka Vol. 5]
