The Immortan. A king, a conqueror? Or another violent warlord, exerting control over whatever he can get his greedy hands upon? He sounds like a Harkonnen.
And so you shall. It's in your name. Fury, Furiosa.
A god who tamed the sun and controls the water if he's to be believed.
[ She does not, but she still dutifully plays the part of a dedicated warrior. ]
I shall. A name from my mother, so I'll be her vengeance. Her Fury.
[ But if Alia feels like taking a peek inside Furiosa's mind, it's not her mother she imagines pressing her forehead against, but a man, bloodied and exhausted. His Fury too, apparently. ]
He sounds VERY like a Harkonnen. They own the planets and stars and still slobber and hunger for more.
My mother says I named myself and whispered it to her from within. I can't remember that part. What was she like? Your mother?
[Alia is, of course, touching her consciousness to Furiosa's, a subtle sensation, like standing in the sun, but she receives the impression due to it's strength, it's fervent emotion.]
She underwent a ritual, where she gained the knowledge of many thousands of Reverend Mothers, the highest position in our Sisterhood. It's a brutal, painful process that kills many who attempt it.
But I was growing inside her, so I underwent it as well. It's an abomination for a child to take on the Other Memory.

Before you came here?
You're ferocious enough to make any captors regret taking you.
But if you were only a child, that's different.

The Immortan is not the one who took me, but he owns me now.
He owns all of the Wastes.
The most freedom I can get is as one of his warriors.
If I challenge him, I'd get a fate worse than death.
But I plan to make the man who took me regret it for the rest of his existence.

Fury, Furiosa.

[ And it's a point of pride for Furiosa, even now. ]
Fierce. Unbelievably brave and valiant, even in her last moments.
Mary was her name.
What is your mother like?
no subject
She named you well.
Complex. She and I are the same, and I think she loathed that fact, once I was old enough to understand it.
no subject
Why would she loathe it?
Wouldn't she want you to be like her?

It's given me tremendous power.

Holding back your blood does seem tremendous right now.
