Step into a fantasy world full of magic and mystery in The Arcana: A Mystic Romance, a visual novel and dating sim from Nix Hydra Games. Players assume the role of a sorcerer's apprentice, who finds themselves in the middle of a murder mystery.

Beyond trying to uncover the secrets of this new world, you can also pursue a romantic relationship with one of the game's six love interests. One of them is Portia Devorak, the head servant of Vesuvia's Countess Nadia and brother to the recently condemned Count Julian. Portia is friendly and talkative, easily gaining the trust of anyone she talks to. Will this bubbly maid catch your eye (and your heart)?

If you've fallen for this energetic and bubbly maid, then here's an answer guide on how to achieve her Upright or Reversed End in the game.

*Please note that at the time of writing, Portia's story is a work in progress. New books are currently being added. This guide reflects the current status of Portia's story, as of December 2020.
