the enchanted doe is an actual fairy tale, which you can read about. the [wikipedia] article is a good read. i'm sure this story will have no insight to any character's past. definitely not. maybe a little. just a bit.
TRANSCRIPT:
panel 1: tera is startled out of her daydreaming and responds to marsione: "oh! i have a number of studies written on the basbeo-"
panel 2: bon walks behind her, expression blank, and she stops, looking regretful. tera: "though... i think most of them need a number of revisions at the point..." marsione responds from off-screen: "well, do send over a copy when you finish. alright, here we are."
panel 3: bon, tera, and marsione end up in a small underground bunker of a library. the walls are fitted with rusting metal sheets, and the floor is dirt. still, it is filled with books. marsione gestures to it proudly: "welcome to my little library. home to the largest collection of banned media in cadia." tera's eyes are shining with excitement.
panel 4: tera has rushed over to a bookshelf and pulls out a grimy looking tome. tera: "the Lost Art of the Wild Witch! these were all supposed to be destroyed!"
panel 5: bon pouts as tera continues, off-screen: "bon, you should read this, it could give some insight into your weird magic!" bon pouts, saying mostly to himself: "yeah, sure. i'll just do that. no problem." tera continues: "wait... The Enchated Doe? this is a common fairy tale... why is this here?"

the wikipedia article was a bit confusingly written, so i went and found an english translation of the full tale – and i’m glad i did! it’s a good tale, and i’m excited to see how it ties into the story.
(i also rewrote the wikipedia article – hopefully it’s a little clearer now!)

honestly i love how teraat still very clearly dehumanizes (for lack of a better word) bon right to his face without even fully being aware of it. like she doesn’t get to just push a button and remove all of what she’s been taught from her brain. it really shows how the power disparity between them is still present. probably these two have my favorite relationship in this story, i can’t help but root for them to overcome their past and build a real friendship.
