Graelenn

**Graelenn** is the middle sister of five total Memory Pool Guardians scattered across Synaptum, and had been tasked to oversee and protect the continent of Graelenncia.

## Biography

Graelenn was born after the death of her ancestor, *The Destructive One,* and emerged from the memory pool that was created from her ancestor's body fusing with the land. Armed with not only pieces of her predecessor to use to weave new life, her own memory pool became connected to a magical, neural network that could pull traits passed down from all the world's five Ancients.

Graelenn acted as an ally for the young Graelenncia Collective, and felt responsible for overseeing their adventures and daily living in Synaptum and in the alternate world, even though she didn't play a role at the front lines. One day, Graelenn is forced into dormancy because of her land being destroyed by Kendra's destructive powers, causing the memory pool to dry up and cease the creation of new life on the continent.

She came out of dormancy several years later thanks to the efforts of the Etheridge Collective purifying the memory pool, and has reunited with her sisters, Futen and Prismia.

## Personality

*"I should've known that a native of my land would have destructive abilities. I should've seen it coming. I'm going to do everything I can to restore peace to my land of Graelenncia."*

Graelenn is the Descendant of *The Destructive One,* and as such, has the ability to terraform land and use her destructive powers to protect her friends and loved ones. Graelenncia's Memory Pool guardian watched over her land, and continues to do so as social order is being rebuilt in purified lands. She has used her terraforming abilities to make natural barriers along purified lands to protect her people from nightmare energy and lawlessness that still remains after the Eternal Ruin era. Graelenn is not only protective, but she's also the more serious one of her sisters, just like her ancestor.

Graelenn treasures her destructive abilities despite them having a bad reputation among the survivors and descendants of those lost to the Eternal Ruin era, and has been championing that instead of abandoning their land-inherited powers, that they should use them for good like she has.

## Abilities and combat

* **Destruction**
	+ **Destruction Empowerment -** Graelenn, like her ancestor, gained power from destruction from her own doing
	+ **Selective Destruction -** Graelenn can choose what to destroy as a means to terraform her land.
		- **Terrakinesis -** To a smaller extent compared to her ancestor, but she can still fortify barriers made from land to protect purified cities, towns, and villages. She can also remove parts of the natural environment, but always has to practice caution as she would have to call upon her sister's help to rebuild and heal what she accidentally destroys.
			* **Burrowing** - She can dig small tunnels and surprise her enemies this way.

## Trivia

* Graelenn once did battle with Queen Kendra. Their destructive powers matched in power, but the former's skill let her have an upper hand. What she didn't expect was for her adversary to be dishonorable during battle. This led to her near-death.

## Folklore

*There were once five beings who founded the world of Synaptum, when the Conduit was still very small and new.*

*The Creative One was distraught during her creation one day. She put mountains where she never intended for there to be mountains, where there was a volcano, she wanted it gone and moved elsewhere. Alas, she lacked the power to move her creations or even remove them from Synaptum, and all she could think to do was make another volcano where she wanted one. This caught the attention of her sister, The Destructive One.*

*The Destructive One removed the volcano her sister no longer wanted, and the Creative One healed the land where there was once a massive mountain. The Destructive One discovered her power to terraform, move, and destroy objects as per her sister's requests. The Destructive One continued to help her more creative sister shape the five continents that were made for each of them to play and explore.*

*The Ancients loved each other dearly, and wanted nothing more than to unite as one to rule over the world in which they created. One day, one of the older sisters dissented against uniting. The dissent led to chaos, and chaos led to hindering their union efforts ever further. One day, The Ancients grew weary.*

*Again and again, The Ancients attempted to become one, but alas, had missed their opportunity long ago. Weary, nearing their end, each Ancient called a continent home and passed away. Their bodies, ever full of power, became ponds that took on various shapes, sizes, and abilities called Memory Pools. From those Memory Pools rose their Descendants.*

*As the Destructive One took her final, resentful breath, a first, serious breath arose new from the pool. Her name was Graelenn.*
