[BASICS]Name: Etelia Millesol
Age: 20
Height: 177cm (5'10")
Race: Human
Home Nation: Millesol
[PERSONALITY]On first impression, Etelia usually lines up with what one would assume a princess would act like--polite in speech and confident in movement. When she acts more naturally, however, the girl comes off as more tomboyish and lighthearted, in an off-beat kind of way. While a very intense individual by nature, that intensity is beneath a layer of a girl who likes being happy and seeing others be happy. Because of this, it's rare to see her without at least the faintest smile on her lips. It gives her a degree of charisma, bolstered by the lessons she's been given in regards to being a leader, making it no task for her to make another at ease when conversing with her.
On the other side of that token, though, her upbringing has made it just as easy for her to 'flick the switch.' When necessary, that layer of the lighthearted tomboy can be shed, leaving only the dangerous presence of someone who has the capabilities and the nigh-unbreakable will to get just about anything she wants. Without being able to do this, she would have never survived her past. It's enough to say that if she has a goal, one should do all they can to ensure they are not an obstacle in her way. Failure scares her--not in a way that makes her freeze up, though, the thought of which instead lights a fire beneath her and propels her forward. There's a darkness in her due to her past, but her nature fights against it, whether or not that is healthy. Being 'perfect' is nearly an obsession for her. While this can be a great trait, it has significant downsides that can rear its heads at times.
Either way, she's an impressive presence for someone so young. Capable of great understanding and compassion, as well as a degree of ruthlessness when needed, those who underestimate her due to age--or any other reason--will not for long.
[HISTORY]Born to one of Lord Millesol's mistresses, life for Etelia was destined to be anything but ordinary from the very beginning. Of hundreds of siblings fathered by Lord Millesol, she was one of the most exceptional, and that brought her to the Lord's towering castle in the capital of the nation, where she would spend much of her life.
Along with a few dozen siblings of varying ages, she was 'trained' from birth to be a mage of terrifying power. An inescapable fate, day in and day out, everything she and her siblings did was meant to mold them into super soldiers and nation leaders. Forced beyond their limits every day, any mild failure was met with severe punishment. Weakness was stamped out with the most extreme prejudice. Siblings treated each other terribly for the most part, not helped by the fact that Lord Millesol purposefully pit them against each other to further bring out their abilities. Deaths due to the lifestyle were not uncommon--"they were not strong enough," the Lord would simply say, before forgetting his deceased offspring had ever existed.
Complete exhaustion, both physical and mental, was just a state of being for Etelia and her siblings. Despite all the physical torture, despite the fear of being stabbed in the back by her siblings at any moment, despite the knowledge that she was expendable to the one person who controlled her life, Etelia excelled. The torture worked. Her magical abilites advanced far beyond what most could ever achieve in a lifetime, and continued to develop without end in sight. Though she was one of the few females, and a target due to jealousy, she rarely had trouble protecting herself. Attempts at undermining her by her more psychotic siblings were violently stuffed, and she managed to establish herself as someone to not cross if one wanted to escape with their body intact.
This life ended when the Lord finally passed away due to old age, leaving one final order for his remaining children: fight for the now vacant throne. Only the strongest would be allowed to take it. The Lord's legacy would not be ruined by his successor.
A violent civil war broke out, siblings heading factions against each other for control of the land. Etelia fought as well at the start, wishing to take the throne and dismantle the tyrannical reputation her father had built up for her nation--both out of spite for her family, and for the genuine care of the nation's people. Things did not go to plan however, as Etelia unexpectedly found herself with a large target on her back, as she had before. A few of her siblings, headed by Rollo--perhaps the most dangerous of them all, a proper psychopath who found all his happiness in the suffering of others--worked together to slaughter all those fighting for Etelia.
With the nation fragmented into several factions, Rollo occupying the castle, and no army left to her name, Etelia ran. Despite the clear fact that she would surely die quickly if she stayed, it was still the most difficult decision she had ever made--though her father was gone, the teachings he had had beaten into her remained. Accepting not being strong enough to overcome her current situation head on was hard. Knowing it was for the best though, she made her escape and became a wandering princess of a hated nation fallen into chaos.
She intends to return one day, to fulfill her initial desire to reform her home, but first she needs to find her way back into some position of power. It's difficult to overthrow a tyrant on your own, after all.
[MAGICAL CAPABILITIES]With knowledge of her past, her capabilities are unsurprisingly monstrous. Her node network is incredibly intricate, and her Mana pool is vast beyond logical reason, giving her longevity that could make the uneducated question if she's using divine magics.
Arcane magic is at a competent level, due to the classification's simplistic nature.
Metaphysical magic is at a high level, focused on light manipulation, and competent in gravity manipulation. Her most notable use of light manipulation involves bending light to deceive and manipulate perception, making something appear where it is not. Her gravity manipulation is used in a far more brutish way, relying on expending large amounts of Mana for powerful, momentary effects to force an upper-hand in combat.
Soul magic is her major specialty. It's what she's spent the most time training. Many siblings were lost to the use of the magic, but she is one of the few that hasn't seemed to be negatively affected by it--likely due to luck of the node draw. All in all, it boosts her normally impressive combat capabilities to a terrifying level, making her exceedingly difficult to put down.
Quite literally bred to be a killing machine capable of abusing magic to its fullest, Etelia lives up to the Millesol name, at least in terms of her prowess as a caster. Though she is significantly less skilled at any applications of her magic that aren't useful in a fight, she can manage to an extent due simply to the handle she has on magic in general.
