Tharica is an immortal angelic being of pure light who belongs to the domain of The Divine Quartet, and has unlike her arch-nemesis Vagora been seen and depicted several times through Crescanian history, but has to her annoyance most often been depicted as a male due to her aggressive ways in battle. But unlike Vagora who has no shape of his own, Tharica has always been described as a person in heavy armor - sometimes a man, even though she is female - with large, white wings spreading from out her back, and she is said to have a face of extreme beauty underneath her hood.

Although the heavenly angels in holy texts serve as protectors of justice and life, Tharica shows that looks can truly be deceiving, for she cares nothing of mortal lives. Her only goal is to destroy her enemy Vagora, whom she has been battling with for millions of years, and thus eradicate chaos from the domain. This could have been seen as a just cause, would not all kinds of life be connected to chaos somehow, which means that all life would cease along with Vagora, and the domain would be nothing but rock and gray dust, with not as much as wind being present. Tharica cares nothing of this, though, and has been known to slay hundreds if not thousands for standing in her way. However, even though the victory of either side would mean the end of all life, Tharica is without doubt the lesser of two evils, as Vagora often kills for his own amusement, while Tharica avoids killing as long as there is an easier way. Still, the two avatars are equal in power, which is the reason the war between them is eternal.

When Vagora was trapped in The Void, Tharica believed her chance had come to spread order to the world. However, the four gods of the Quartet forbid her from causing harm to the world, lest she would be destroyed herself. Tharica reluctantly obeyed. But when the gods were also trapped inside The Void three hundred years ago, Tharica saw her chance once again. That was, until she discovered she was herself being dragged into The Void along with the gods, as the Croiz used another specific Void Orb to trap her as well. There she and Vagora once again attempted to destroy each other, but found that they could not even touch each other, as the Void nullified all rules, both mortal and divine. Since then, they have been forced to live next to each other, their hatred and hostility toward each other only growing for three hundred years.
