I was having a hard time trying to find a song that best appealed to my character. A really hard time. Sure, there are many songs I like. But they don't fit well with his personality at all. I eventually found one.

Due Fiumi is a vocal reworking of a song from Suikoden II. More specifically, it is the theme song to a town known as Two River. The town, which has a split river running through it (hence the name), is ruled by three houses of congress, each representing their respective race. The humans, the kobolds, and the wingers. This alliance of races is shaky at best. The humans and kobolds are on shaky terms, but cooperate with each other, while neither of those races shares much respect for the wingers at all. During the events of Suikoden II, however, through the main character's actions, all three races begin to understand one another and develop much stronger bonds of kinship.
With Virgil's backstory of being a halfbreed Keeper/Seeker Miqo'te, this plays well into the conflict between the two tribes' gender biases and that, in time, Virgil could be the one to aid in the renewed kinship of the two tribes.
The melody itself is only slightly more uplifting than bittersweet and is also very serene, much like Virgil. The melody seems to speak of wisdom and experience in its gentleness, being the ideal music to relate to a magical user, especially that of a healer. The only part of this music that may not fit is its slightly tribal undertones, which unlike many of his Miqo'te brothers and sisters, he is not as he was born and raised in the city.
