Presley Lamient

Presley Lamient is a main protagonist of The Veruthyse Chronicles and the supposed "Big Sister" of the main character, Adventas Lamient. Presley also helped spark ideas with the world-famous engineer, Mavis Tenaebris, before they went their separate ways. She was the first ever "Enhanced Human" to come into existence by using Nazologia's blood generate her. Presley could be described as a parent substitute to her younger brother and the target for her younger sister Morgause's revenge.

## Appearance

Presley has long, sleek black hair with the same hazel eyes as her brother and is shown to be slightly taller than him. Her hair moves in a fashionable, heart-shaped curve around her face, the rest of her hair streamed down her back, outspreading as it descends. Presley possesses an excellent fashion sense and the way she carries herself suggests that she is quite regal. Her preferred outfit consists of a long, dark grey trench coat with small black buttons along the lining. Underneath this, she wears a formal white collared shirt and high healed boots.

Her figure is described to be quite slender, though not too muscular while being strong. All the physical training that she had done over the years payed, displaying an athletic, thin form. She could also easily be described as a model by many other characters.

## Personality

Presley is seen to be a very stern and strict young woman, even to her own family, as seen when she instructs Adventas to call her "Miss Lamient". She is also very prideful and stoic, having cared for Adventas since they were young and therefore is forced to essentially be a parent to him. Presley is stubborn and has a problem with showing her emotions or praising others, especially Adventas. This cause Lyzia to often tease her about to which Presley treat her by sparing with her as a punishment's. She also thinks highly of herself as a woman, saying she could have gotten married already if she didn't have look after Advenas (which is ironic as Adventas take care of everything in their home).

Despite her strictness, it seems she also has a far more casual side, that of a normal woman who enjoys drinking alcohol. She doesn't do much housework, leaving Adventas to tend to things. She also does like to tease others on occasion, especially Adventas, who is very susceptible to her. When she starts drinking, she tends to loosen up a lot. She is also very protective of Adventas, as he's the only family she ever had and considers him to be vitally important to her. Some of the characters noted that her closeness with him seems a little suggestive, which only serves to incur a bit of her wrath when they tease her about it. She is also unable to admit and express her affection to Adventas due to her personality and pride. Although, in rare cases show hints before instantly turns to her usual behaviour. Rijks said the reason why Presley is so strict with Adventas is because she's afraid to lose him.

In battle, Presley is very level headed and even relaxes, as she would smile and mock her opponent. This confidence seems to come from her former title as the world's strongest and the fact that she's a enhanced human. While Presley is tough most of the time, she will give others moral support. She often encourages those like Lyzia and the Unknown Squad Leader to find meaning in life outside of their military duty. This probably comes from how she chose to abandon the life she originally had as a test subject in order to save Adventas. Presley has always been very secretive, both on a personal level and professional level. She doesn't like being asked questions about her life or history. She has rarely (if ever) told Adventas anything about what she's been doing. Even when he ask her questions, she avoided them and quickly dropped the subject before he could press for answers. Her tendency of keeping quiet about what she knows even goes above her sense of duty, as despite knowing Mavis Tenaebris was behind several incidents that have put her clients and younger brother in danger, she always pretend she didn't know in front of others. Afterwards, she would have the entire incident kept top secret.

## Background

Presley was created by an early Tartaroth association called Project Lamient that's purpose was to generate "Flawless Humans" using Sorcerers blood. All the hundreds of different sorcerer's blood droplets that were changed into beings were unsuccessful, until Nazologia himself got involved. He slit a knife along the underside of his arm and used the blood to create a new race of "Flawless Humans". These were: Presley, Adventas and Morgause Lamient, all siblings.

Presley, being created from a larger dose of blood, was ten-years older than the other two twins. Project Lamient was located in the Grand Sanctuary of Keydolen and at that time there was an increased number of bandits. The sorcerer's stood no chance against the army of marauders and were all slaughtered, though Presley just managed to smuggle away her siblings. In the confusion of metal and screaming, Presley's hold loosened upon one of the twins, Morgause. At that time a spear coursed through her hand, forcing her to let go of Morgause entirely. The baby dropped straight into Nazologia's waiting arms, as he entered the scene, inspiring an immeasurable amount of fear in the bandits.

Blinded by fear, confusion and the uproar of terror influenced by Nazologia's arrival, Presley simply ran for it, holding the infant Adventas without sparing a though for Morgause's fall. Later on however, she would mourn her loss, believing Nazologia to have killed her. When Adventas grew older, she implanted the idea that they were unwanted orphans of unknown heritance to protect him. She loved her brother more than anybody or anything in the world, even her ex best friend: Mavis Tenaebris. She was very tough, strict and "careless" with Adventas due to her fathomless love and desire to protect him.
