Sulelia Lora Phyra

Sulelia Lora Phyra is a moon elf paladin of Helm in Campaign 2.0. Having received a mission to defeat a great evil, she ventures across Itoa with the party in hopes of fulfilling her divine directive.
==Appearance==
Sulelia is built, busty, and towers above most with her tall stature. She has bright purple skin, full lips, and golden freckles dotted along her face. Her eyes are a teal blue and a scar runs across her flat nose. Sulelia's curly white hair is tied back into a high bun by an orange scrunchie, and in it she wears golden clamps that also top her ears.
Her heavy-plated armor is silver with gold accents. She wears a orange leather capelet over her left shoulder and on her other sits a metal spiked pauldron. An orange sash is tied around her waist, and her boots are made of dark metal.
== Personality ==
Always the life of the party, Sulelia is boisterous, fun-loving, and carefree almost to a fault. She's easily amused and loves to instigate pranks, even if its at the expense of others. Sulelia is humorous and jokes to add levity to any given situation. She seems to always be optimistic and cheerful, and her enthusiasm and outgoing nature make her generally well-liked. Sulelia lives to entertain others and make them laugh.
Sulelia is empathetic and compassionate. She is friendly towards everyone she meets, even to her detriment. Sulelia will always go out of her way to support her loved ones even if it means putting her life on the line, and has continually proven her heroism through her resourcefulness, optimism, and confidence. Although she has a great capacity for kindness, Sulelia won't hesitate to punish others for their wrong-doings, exemplified by her vicious melee with Malveria after the other woman's betrayal.
Sulelia is impulsive and won't hesitate to leap into the fray if need be. She is brash, very stubborn, and often puts forward an attitude of "my way or the highway", seeing as how whenever her input is disregarded things take a turn for the worse. Her willingness to march into danger is resultative of her firm belief that others come first and she come second; Sulelia finds fulfillment and gratification in protecting her friends, and will go to extreme lengths to indulge this. Sulelia doesn't possess a strong sense of individualism, and ends up still needing the company of others to thrive.
==History==
===Pre-Campaign===
Sulelia hails from an elven village just off of Nir Dorrun. Her home was dedicated to the worship of Helm, and so she trained at the Helm's Bastion to further her abilities. She's mentioned the death of her mother but hasn't explained how it happened, nor what she was like.
During her training at Helm's Bastion, Sulelia was mentored by Orkrush, and the two bonded while in each other's company. Orkrush tells Daisy stories of Sulelia's tutelage, like when Sulelia couldn't stop slipping and eating shit in the mud of the training field one rainy day. It was so bad that Orkrush just left her out there for the whole night, falling in mud and getting rained on. 
Eventually, Sulelia received a mission from the Bastion to defeat a mysterious evil that wields a dangerous weapon. She's directed to the town of Wenshire, where the first session takes place.

==Relationships==
=== Bryna Novell ===
Although their relationship began as tumultuous at best, Bryna and Sulelia have grown to appreciate each other as genuine friends. Sulelia tends to enable Bryna's hostility in hopes of garnering her approval, but as time goes on, she realizes the unfortunate truth of the other woman's attitude being a self-destructive front. She now seeks to help Bryna rather than encourage her negative behavior, and is one of the only few to see past it. Sulelia likes to think she sees the light in Bryna, and cherishes every laugh and positive interaction she can elicit from her. She ultimately wants to see her happy, and is always out to protect her friend.
=== Gareth Wolfsbane ===
Thinking him overly serious, uptight, and a tad unhygienic, Sulelia wants to see Gareth loosen up. His remarks of how "useful" she is to the party irritates her, as Sulelia resents not being regarded as a person and instead a mere asset.
=== Thomal Thunukelo ===
Sulelia thinks highly of Thomal. She enjoys fighting alongside him and appreciates his kind, upstanding nature. Sulelia finds a certain kind of gentle innocence in the goliath, and feels a need to protect this aspect of her friend.
=== Angeal Vilhelm ===
In spite of her short stature, Sulelia regards Angeal as one of the more powerful forces in the party. Sulelia admires Angeal's ability to bring neutrality and reason to even the most pressing of circumstances. Although the two are at odds in terms of temperament - Sulelia being loud and impulsive and Angeal withdrawn and intuitive - the elf appreciates Angeal's presence.
"At Her Wit's End" wrought on a divisive conflict between the two, with Angeal's continuous attempts on Spirit's life. After the ordeal, Sulelia began to harbor reservations about Angeal and her unyielding commitment to her divine directive. However, despite this newfound animosity, Sulelia still continues to look out for Angeal.
=== Daisy Lavendash ===
Sulelia is enamored and smitten with her girlfriend, Daisy. Daisy's acceptance of her boisterous tendencies as well as the artificer's sweet nature has led to Sulelia genuinely falling in love with her. The two first met in "Don't Play With Magic", and in "Romance Amidst Property Damage," Sulelia asked Daisy out on a date. Since then, the two have been romantically involved.
While generally accepting of the nature of Sulelia's profession, Daisy still grows worried over Sulelia's well-being. When Sulelia dies and goes missing in "Everything Is Fine," Daisy takes it upon herself to save her. She grows upset over Sulelia's complete willingness to throw herself in harm's wake for the sake of absolute strangers - Daisy implores Sulelia to think better and can't bear the thought of losing her again.
In rare deviation from her "others come first" policy, the two's relationship has led to Sulelia beginning to fight for herself - not for others at the expense of herself, but for her sake so that she can come back to Daisy. While Sulelia is sworn to her duties as a paladin, her commitment seems to be wavering as a result of this newfound love.
=== Orkrush ===
Orkrush functions as the definitive father figure in Sulelia's life, and the two on many occasion have expressed genuine affectionate towards each other. Orkrush is often the first Sulelia turns to in times of help or reassurance, and he is always willing to impart his wisdom and advice onto the elf whenever need be. In "Goopage," Sulelia tells Orkrush she loves him, and Orkrush is happy to return the sentiment.
=== Landen Zartek ===
Much like a pair of siblings, Sulelia and Landen often find themselves squabbling over trivial matters and petty happenstance. In "Stake Out!", Landen toys with Sulelia by beating her in cards and wins every item she offers up, much to her dismay. Sulelia delights in provoking Landen to break him from his tense disposition, and more often than not, she usually succeeds. Regardless, through all the teasing and taunting, Sulelia genuinely enjoys Landen and thinks of him a friend.
=== Twiggs ===
Sulelia's relationship with Twiggs was rather short-lived. Aside from her pelting him across a gladiatorial field with a wooden paddle, the two remained on amicable terms until the gnome's unfortunate demise.
=== Ralo Cyrodin ===
Though just as brief as Twiggs', Sulelia and Ralo enjoyed a more personal connection before Ralo's death - at least on his end. Sulelia and Ralo bonded during a night's stroll around the Augury, discussing Ralo's past and explanations for his life of thievery. However, when Sulelia was killed by a bodack later that night, all memories of the night they shared was erased from her memory.
===Malveria===
Throughout their initial journey to Runewatch, Sulelia found herself impressed with Malveria's combat prowess and was grateful she stayed to fight alongside the party when Bryna was kidnapped. But, of course, this all went down the fuckin' drain once Malveria revealed herself to be working under Runya. With all former impressions tossed to the wayside, Sulelia unleashed a furious string of attacks against the other woman and sent her to the ground, unconscious.
In "Once Upon a Dream," Sulelia infiltrates Malveria's subconscious via the spell Dream. Sulelia sympathizes with the story she'd been given by Malveria, but doesn't forgive what she'd done - Malveria doesn't expect her to. Sulelia notes that their journeys have thus far been led by the unclear intentions of someone they're choosing to follow, and Malveria supposes it's certainly something they have in common.
=== Runya Altec ===
Although regarded as a definite adversary, Sulelia has her doubts as to whether Runya's truly at the most fault in the grand scheme of things. The elf is unsure where she lies within the whole conflict, but regardless still recognizes Runya as a dangerous threat.
