Orchis Elikapeka

## Description

Elly (full name: Elikapeka) is a degmiato girl and the leader of the Orchis assassination squad. She entered the Hearth alongside her team to eliminate Nero

## Appearance

Elly is a girl of average height with diaphanous white skin and short black hair. Her eyes are an iridescent dark silver with no pupils, and her horns are light grey. She is one of the few degmiato without pointy ears

## Personality

Elly is cold and ruthless, but also mischevious and sassy. When growing up in the shoal, she was a sensitive and compassionate girl, but her upbringing with the Orchis made her a callous and cruel person. She mostly doesn't care about anyone, with the only exception of Varsha

## Powers

Elly's vim allows her to be intangible at her choice. She can also make anybody intangible with her if she touches them. Her ability allows her to bypass physical objects as well as magic.

## Affiliation

#### Orchis

Even though she's the leader of the assassin squad, she looses interest in her mission after seeing Varsha is in the Hearth. Appart from Zoga, she talks to all her teammates in a mocking tone and doesn't seem to hold them in high regard

## Relationship with Other Characters

#### Nero

Her relationship with Nero is hard to define. Even though she was tasked with his elimination and had a chance to easily dispose of him during his sleep, she chose not to, prefering to plunder his fridge. She has taken the habit of visiting him in his appartment during the night to help herself. While still being mildly threatening to Nero, she seems to like him in her own way, and tries to get his attention. It is most probable that Nero's relationship with Varsha plays a role in Elly's attitude towards Nero

#### Varsha

Varsha is the only person Elly cares about. Varsha was happy to reconnect with her, but was appaled to see how cruel Elly had grown. Elly's personality change drove a wedge in their relation, but Varsha is still willing to help Elly on a better path. On the other hand, Varsha's distancing herself has caused some distress in Elly, making her more dangerous and unpredictable

#### Finley

Finley has been hostile towards Elly even in the shoal, but Elly's mission of assassinating Nero has made it even worse. Finley wants nothing to do with Elly

#### Zoga

Elly seems to get along better with Zoga than with the rest of her squad, though she's aware that Zoga has his own agenda and she warns him that she has her eye on him

#### Tora

As with all her underlings, she treats Tora with mockery. Tora gets a special treatment though, his rigorous and stern behaviour invokes even more ridicule from her than the other squad members.

#### Olga

Of all the squad members, Olga is the one Elly makes the less fun of, mainly because she is quiet and does what she's told.

#### Sarge

Sarge gets made fun of just like the rest, the fact he has no vim only adding to it

#### Beatrice

Their first introduction went very sour, with the both of them almost fighting. Out of spite, Elly orders the elimination of Beatrice

#### Izya

It seems Elly has taken a liking to Izya, as Izya is the only one aware of how Elly came into being the leader of the squad

## Trivia
