It has been said that Tear and her family are the descendants of Yulia, the original fonist who discovered the Seventh Fonon and as a result, Tear is able to use it. To this day Tear considers Legretta the reason why she became so cold, concise and calculating, as well as wanting Van's approval. Tear's detached demeanor came from her mentor, Legretta, Van's assistant and one of the six God-Generals. She is a Locrian Sergeant in the Oracle Knights 'Intelligence Division', a section of the Oracle of Lorelei that presides over the Score. She quickly joined the Order of Lorelei when she was of age. Raised by Van, the Commandant of the God-Generals, and her adopted grandfather, Mayor Teodoro of Yulia City. The only reason they were not killed from the miasma is because Van sang one of Yulia Jue's Fonic Hymns, which saved them from the poisonous gas. The island fell into the Qliphoth, taking both Tear's mother who was pregnant with her at the time and Van Grants, her older brother, into the miasma-filled world under Auldrant's crust.
The Fende family was originally from the island of Hod which was destroyed in the Hod War that left a large portion of the continent devastated by its effects.
