Abilities: _{for more – scroll down to “fighting info” section}
Seventh sense => Trance
ATK power: MAG Power:
Born with a talent to foreseeing, Elda is capable of feeling danger that is going to happen within next few minutes or seconds. It helps her to focus and prepare to defend herself and people around.
In order to look into past or future, Elda might fall into trance; it takes her some time, and all she gets is images without explanation. However, the ability tends to be useful, if people around somehow know about the events and can give explanation.
Water Mastery => Ice Mastery
ATK power: Mag Power:
Having Water as one of her element runes, Elda mastered “waterbending” in childhood; her skills allow her calling water from nearest sources (bottles/wells/rivers/etc) and bending it according to her will. Mostly it is used in offensive attacks, like punches (she, however, can’t cut with water).
Ice mastery takes it roots from Elda’s advanced trainings with water. Not being afraid of cold that ice emanates, she transforms water into ice. As for the ice, she can either use smaller shards for cutting attacks, slashes and strikes, or create massive shields for protection. In order to use ice, Elda must find water first.
Stronghold
ATK Power: MAG Power:
One of Elda's main specialities - due to her fragile body - is defense; "Stronghold" is a compilation of defense magick shields (against magicks and melee attacks) that she uses in order to avoid damage. Using those spells, Elda can defend up to 2 more persons standing next to her, from quite strong attacks. Most of shields can last for 2-3 strikes of a dragon.
Enhancer
ATK Power: Mag Power:
All crystallums know how to boost their natural abilities with help of rune spheres; being a fencer, Elda has already mastered art of buffing speed, strength and morale.
Fortune’s Bless
ATK power: MAG Power:
With help of rune Ingvas, Elda’s chance of critical strike boosts, meaning that warrior’s strike will reach opponent even if he tries blocking. Unfortunately, that tricky rune sometimes doesn’t obey crystallum; in case of failure it slightly weakens crystallum’s next few spells.
Crystal crasher
ATK Power: MAG Power:
Elda creates an ice pillar around the enemy, stunning him and blocking all the movements for 5 seconds; then, the pillar shatters into many ice shards, collapsing on earth and leaving small wounds on opponent’s body if a light armor/no armor equipped, or damages armor if it is heavy/plated armor. Enemy remains with lowered stats and slowed down for some time.

Personality:
Elda is always calm and self-disciplined; as an every crystallum, she prefers not to get in fight before she calculates her chances of winning. She doesn’t care much about race or status of person with whom she is communicating – what matters to her is inner world of person and his/her mana type.
A heartily, sincere smile is rare for her – Elda always works with a smile, but it is just a trademark welcoming smile. It fades just right after first greetings are said and Elda starts speaking about business.
Being a crystallum – emotionless gem - Elda doesn’t see any sense in showing anxiety. She always tries to over think the situation logically and find a way out, and only after the trouble ends – to show hardly visible signs of relieve. Because of this, she is sometimes called Jökull (Icicle) even among her own crystallum mates.

Background:

Her brother Veres and she were kids who were cherished by all crystallum community. As they are twins, ever since their birth they were affected by special attitude of other crystallums, and both of them understood that they needed to justify hopes of others. They studied hard and acquired new rune spheres with a really high speed. As Veres was a mage-type, instead of his fencer-type sister, he took the lead and has already become a Rune Master. Elda, happy that her brother has already achieved such great results, decided to practice in real fights; so she applied in Knight’s Academy of Vingard and successfully made in.

Still, after some time it started to be clear that Elda was becoming a main candidate to become Dean of House of Crystallums – she showed good results in both fencing and magick, and had more rune spheres than Veres did; she was more disciplined and strict and had good memory for all the laws.
Moreover, one of main advantages of Elda was her good health; unfortunately, Veres was not so healthy from the start. _{He is much weaker than sister, moves slower and from time to time he is nearly fainting; crystallum’s healers are not able to confirm what’s wrong with Veres; it does look like he has heart attacks sometimes, but as crystallum’s have no blood it is not possible.}

Strange enough, but Elda was not happy about that; she ended up realizing that she doesn’t want to take that responsibility and stay caged in Vingard. She wanted freedom and right to travel, become a wanderer. But even when she gave up on her Knight’s trainings and got excelled from Academy, shocked Elders did not change their opinion. Elda just WAS fated to become Dean of House to their mind.

Veres knew that his sister didn’t want to become Dean of House, but there was no way he could persuade Elders to change their plans; that was when an idiotic idea appeared in his head. There was only one way to make Elda not suit her future position – she needed to abide the law somehow. Veres offered her a training session within of which she could hurt him somehow by releasing her magick skills on full – which was prohibited for crystallums on trainings. Elda was against, but eventually she gave up, being inspired with the fact that she might be free after that, and healing Veres would be no problem.

During the fight, however, she just couldn’t make herself attack him with full strength. Everything went as usual until Veres understood that he had to do something. He started scoffing at her and trying to piss off sister; Elda, shocked with such behavior, got extremely hurt and attacked him on full. Veres didn’t manage to defend himself from such a blow…

He didn’t remember much from following days; after waking up again he got to know that Elda was put in lock-up after healing him. But as it wasn’t a minor injury but a near-death blow, she was in danger of being put in “stasis” – meaning that she’d have to spend rest of her life in crystal form. Shocked, Veres tried his best to talk Elders against this punishment; luckily he’d managed to do it. After a few weeks Elda has been released; all pale, with short hair (cut due to help healing – hair tresses of crystallums can turn in crystals which they use to close wounds) and no will to struggle, she was silent for quite a long time. She just couldn’t forgive herself for hurting her dear brother that bad.

Being humiliated by other crystallums, she couldn’t even make herself go outside of house; Veres spent most of his time with her, helping her to recover slowly. Eventually Elda regained her self-confidence, and her link with brother grew even stronger.

After some time passed, Elda started new life; she applied for a position of a Guard Officer in Vingard and luckily got accepted; in a while, crystallums accepted her as well, forgiving her. But of course there were no talks about making her Dean of House. Veres has accepted offer to become next Dean of House and decided to spend last ages of his free life in studies.

That’s when our story starts.

After a few years spent as a mere officer, Elda suddenly got a chance to help one of knights-in-training, Shao Raiden -her Academy "mate", whom she used to train. Having a foul temper, Raiden made that quest a whole challenge for Elda to cope up with him. However, as it was her chance to get a knight qualification, Elda made her best not to kill bothersome cat.

After saving his life once when Raiden got hurt badly, crystallum got strangely attached to him; eventually, these two opposites ended up falling for each other, even though they'd never admit it.

As they returned back to Vingard, Elda got her qualification as a knight and now works in Royal Guard. Currently she's helping in the city to repell Nezuel's forces attacks.

OTHER INFO

APPEARANCE
Crystallums are able to change their appearance, as human-like form is not their true hypostasis, though it takes quite a lot of time to change appearance (about 2-3 full month, while being in crystal form); moreover, there are still some things that a crystallum can’t change – gender, color of eyes, color of rune orbs (they can’t be hidden as well) and, if crystallum is a Rune Master, he or she can’t hide white locks in their hair (will be mentioned later).
Therefore, crystallums prefer not to change their human form ever in their life.
Eye-color: Ultramarine blue.
Eye-color always matches with color of rune spheres.
Hair-color: Pink.
After crystallum acquires 16th rune sphere, white locks start appearing in his/her hair, with each new rune sphere appearing, showing high rang of crystallum.
Hair-color of crystallum always matches with color of crystal from which crystallum consist.
Skin-color: Pale yellow shade.

Interesting facts:

Elda feels uncomfortable with persons who has opposite mana type, it makes her to concentrate subconsciously and be ready to defend herself.

She is not an art person, though she is quite good in playing guitar and violin – she says that sounds of music instruments can sometimes amplify in crystallum’s body and relax him, or heal/strengthen/etc, leading to a positive effect.

Elda is a vegetarian – her organism rejects meat and fish because of her crystal nature, so she eats only fresh veggies and fruits. Because of her belonging to crystallums, she also has a low alcohol tolerance, which means that Elda might get drunk even after a glass of vine.

When she cuts her hair, it transforms into unfaceted crystals of rubellite, a rose-red transparent variety of tourmaline, used as a gemstone. Sometimes Elda sells these gems to jewelers or to rune knights for them to make artifacts and runestones.

Elda nearly always feels cold – she is a crystal, so she has to maintain her temperature by sitting near fireplace or muffling up in warm capes. Actually, she loves sitting and hugging someone in order to maintain warmth, but she finds it extremely awkward difficult to explain to others.

Elda has an older twin brother, Veres; that makes both of them an extremely rare phenomenon within crystallums. Usually, a crystallum has enough of life power and mana to form only one sapling, but father of twins, Keros, managed to grow two saplings at one time and remain alive.

No one knows that Elda has a second name – she allows to call her Gellari, or Gella, only to her father and brother.

Political Views: Neutral. Thinks that unification of regions is possible if Ulrien will gain from it.
Character Alignment: Neutral Good.

FIGHTING INFO
Fighting class: Rune Knight.
Weapons: hybrid halberd; rune spheres, which help her to cast magic.
Battle style: Short-ranged fighter, prefers keeping opponent close to herself; is rather weak against magick attacks (will be mentioned later), and tries to get rid of mages as soon as she can; has a good agility and swift strikes. Has nearly no skill in hiding, but has good defense skills.
Magicks: Water+Light.
Peculiarities:

Crystallums are strangely affected by magic of other people - same goes for Elda. Unluckily, if a she gets hit directly by a spell, she will get much more damage than could be expected from beginning, due to her magic-sensitive nature. She also can't be healed by other mage - healing spell won't work or might harm her even more. As she doesn’t have blood, all scratches and wounds that she gets in fights don’t bleed – they look like as if someone has scratched or cleaved a gem. But it doesn't mean that Elda can't get hurt - each crack makes her feel severe pain, as human would feel if he had a deep wound. Moreover, the cracks may even widen if they aren’t taken care of in a short time.
On the verge of death crystallums, if they have enough time and good conditions, might try turning into a crystal statue and freeze for a long period of time, restoring their own health. Practice shows that only one third of fencer crystallums manage to perform this skill.

Elda is focused on fencer skills, however, her magic skills are used a lot as well. Some of the spells aimed on strengthening herself during a fight (support and healing magic), while others – on defending herself (defensive magic) with ice shields. Over years she mastered her offensive magick skills too, using spells quite a lot - mostly for drawing opponents attention from/to her, or capturing them.

One of the most interesting peculiarities of crystallums is their “rune spheres”. Each sphere is a crystal saturated with a great amount of mana, and each of spheres has a rune sign within it. Depending on rune, there are different spells that can be used with sphere’s help.
Elda has 17 rune spheres, making her nearly Rune Master, which is quite rare for her age. Here is a list of runes she uses (first goes name of rune, next, in brackets, meaning of name):
Isa (ice); Ansuz (Magic strength); Laguz (Water); Uruz (Brutal Strength); Evaz (Movement); Hagalaz (Massive Attack); Turisaz (Defense); Tiwaz (Fervor) Gebo (Herald); Sovillo (Cure); Nautiz (Foreseer of Danger); Kenaz (Light); Mannaz (Being); Vunio (Strengthening); Ingvaz (Termination); Otala (Sacrifice) _{(this rune is also fed by Raiden’s magick, thus creating a strong bond between those two)}, Jero (Guerdon).

Spheres must be activated one after another. That doesn't take long time, if spell is easy (like a simple buff on herself), but still a few moments are wasted. If Elda tries to cast a more difficult spell, then it'll take her more time.
Only one chain can be created at a moment. For example, she casts a chain for creating a defense spell, and only after she finishes this spell and activates it, she can go on to next chain, for example - icicle, that she'll blast out while hiding behind the shield.
Elda’s main sphere is Mannaz, “the Being” rune. Due to abilities given by this rune, her strengthening skills are twice more effective; this rune also lets her to foresee future and search people, if she succeeds in falling into a trance. Elda is still working on this skill, as she finds it rather hard to fall into a trance.
