## History

### An Unhappy Childhood

Chandaelje was the eldest of Elbonja's four daughters to hatch from her egg. At a young age, she showed great strength as a toddler, that at one time when a chandelier almost crashed over her, she was so drawn by its bulbs that she simply plucked one arm and poked at the air.

Her mother was murdered when she was ten years of age. In her rage she followed her father and sisters to slaughter the gang members who killed her mother. Then, she and her family wore only white and played no music for forty days.

### Sixteen of Surprises

On her sixteenth birthday, she and her sisters considered using the two large dolls of their childhood for target practice. Knowing that it would mean the deaths of two beloved dolls, her youngest sister Banchje warned her father, who stopped Chandaelje and the sisters from killing the dolls. For saving their lives, the two dolls remained forever grateful to Banchje for saving their lives. But when she saw the two dolls saving Banchje from a pack of undead wraiths by crushing them, she started to like the dolls again.

It was also during that year when she led her sisters on their first monster hunt, as a rite of passage to prove themselves as warriors against the undead. All four sisters escaped alive, and Chandaelje rescued her friend Qarnagri from being a prisoner of the undead. Perhaps it was there when Qarnagri gained Chandaelje's powers after she kissed him, allowing both of them to escape and defeat Oglohkor together.

### Redgloom

On the next year, several people went missing, and hauntings broke out as computers started to come to life on their own. That was why her father trained her to use her own magic to manipulate electricity and evade the entity haunting the computers. Unfortunately, even as she previously navigated between monitors across distances, she was not able to escape that entity one night, who trapped her within her room. The mutant princess drew forth her claws as the entity emerged from her glowing computer: it was Miss Redgloom, Moneiqra Illosvoi.

According to legend, Redgloom was once an AI for a computer game that was abandoned in the outbreak of the Nakatjae Collapse, having escaped from her deleted game as its studios were ruined during the war. After spending many centuries haunting and infecting computers, she happened to target her boyfriend Qarnagri, but Chandaelje noticed this and attempted to distract her. The ghost and the mutant fought, and Chandaelje defeated Redgloom with her magical claws. She also unplugged her laptop and exposed it to moonlight, trapping Redgloom and disabling much of her powers: unable to escape, Redgloom bowed before Chandaelje as she prepared to tear the ghost apart, begging her to spare her.

Chandaelje stopped as if something blinded her. Something like a great hand, clad in armour, stopped her arm, gently pressing it so she lowered her sword and her claws. The tall man was wreathed in dark clouds, yet above the ravens on his shoulders, his head was glowing like a serene moon against the surrounding turmoil. In her mind, the princess heard the Lord of Midnight speak to her from the full moon. Lord Odin instructed Chandaelje not to kill Redgloom, as she managed to find a way to weaken the ghost and release the people that she turned into insane wraiths.

The mutant aristocrat learned that this was a test from Odin to see whether she has applied what she learned to hunt, defeat, and even recruit monsters to her service. That was no wonder why so many people were unable to kill her as they did not realise her weakness as a wraith. Having ended the trance, Chandaelje picked up a broken sabre and trapped Redgloom into it, turning it into a metallic mop.

In a shed under the gaze of Rukthan's moon, Chandaelje interrogated the trapped spirit, searing her mop with magic whenever the wraith dared resist or control her mind. Redgloom told her that she was alone for so many centuries, and she was happy that Chandaelje did not become a wraith herself for spending time with her that long. Chandaelje agreed to be her friend, but also struck her with her claws, releasing many of her victims and turning them back to mortals.

Even then, Redgloom was still an electric wraith in a new robotic body: Chandaelje used another spell to sculpt the mop into a humanoid form. She was glad that Chandaelje broke her curse, and she agreed to teach her how to control electricity.

## Personality

"*Trust me. It's just* Chandaelje style terror, *no worries. And it's* very*, very efficient, heheheh.*"

Chandaelje is rather playful. She likes fencing, fighting, posing, chess, music, and wearing splendid dresses. *Especially* fencing.

However, she can be easily angered. That is when she will put away her sabre, and draw out her long claws to hack her enemies to pieces.

## Abilities

"*No one cares, you failures*

*GO SUCK A CODFISH AND TRIP ON A HUNDRED KITES*

*RAAAAAGH*"

- lyrics to NOBODY CARES

### Minor powers

Chandaelje can shapeshift into any form she wishes. Most of the time, she prefers to use the retractable claws she was hatched with.

She was also trained to use magic powers, like her parents. As a devotee to Narsenre, the god of the dawn, her sacred magic spells included:

* firing beams of sunlight
* glowing or burning hands
* her body and clothes can glow
* she can see beyond walls
* she can wave at objects, sculpting them - it is very handy when she needs a tool or weapon, and there is scrap everywhere.
* teleporting herself via magical means
* instantly teleporting herself to travel between two computers across vast distances, as long as there is a valid network connection.
	+ If it gets interrupted, she has to immediately teleport herself at the nearest valid location, where she will be wreathed in electricity for a few minutes.
	+ If she fails to escape, she will become a being of electricity, who will revert back to normal within a day if she successfully emerges.

### Weapons

Her weapons are a fencing sabre and her claws. Her claws are edged with inscriptions that allow her to channel magical energy into them, granting her strength to kill the undead and demonic.

She also likes to touch long metal objects, which magically form into long hammers charged with lightning and electricity, and then consecrated to Torod like any blessed machine. This was in honour of those sweet days when she used to be trained by Jolqorin in sparring with war hammers, and due to the influence of several films about the Thunder God. At one time, she even gathered a pile of metal, which she clutched into her hand as she became a giantess, causing the metal to become into an enormous hammer.

### Magical powers and lore

In general, Chandaelje's primary lore out of the Sixfold Streams of Magic (the lore of the Six Ancient Gods) is the Second Lore, the Lore of Ævāri (god of chaos). Her ability to control metal and magically mould it into different shapes, just by waving her hands or touching it, suggest that she may have also been taught the First Lore, the Lore of Sarasvas (god of order), as a minor lore.

Chandaelje can also grow into a giantess, mostly to crush and beat up her enemies or smash through heavy obstacles. She was trained by the Razuklanos' mechanical guardian, Yuzel the Sentinel, so she could pick any scrap metal large enough to be changed into a great warhammer.

Like every member of the Razuklano family, including her father and all of her sisters, she can also alter her own form into that of a flying dragon. That itself is what she was born with, a gift from the Father of Dragons. As a dragon, she can glow, and both her light and her touch can frighten and burn undead and demons as her alternate form was blessed by Makravalas.

## Relationships

Her sisters are Boatiqva, Trescheru, and Banchje.

Her best friend is Sbezraq, a tomboyish biker chick. Both of them sometimes go to the racetrack to cheer for their favourite irresponsible drivers and clown cars, and to the shooting galleries to compete and brag away. Together, their friends and fans sometimes call them "the princess and the punk star", and they are sometimes greeted with the crudest metal tracks.

Her love interest is Qarnagri, a biker. She is attracted to his bare chest, his claws, and his sense of humour; and in the process the two of them are closer friends and lovers. Sometimes they dance and hug with their own claws as a blanket, and sometimes they enjoy racing on flying bikes, bringing Sbezraq and many more friends on loud and obnoxious contests. She even gave him her powers just either by holding his hands and casting a spell on him, or by kissing him, allowing Qarnagri to go with her together across digital networks, or fly over the domes and spires as two dragons!

At times, Chandaelje and Sbezraq went on hunting trips with Qarnagri, just to enjoy killing monsters together. Some observers angered the three of them by wrongly assuming that Qarnagri was one "lucky lad" for being followed by two women.

The other friends of hers are best described - by some rather disgruntled visitors or her enemies from other neighbourhoods - as "a rogue's gallery, ranging from pompous fashionistas to uncouth brawlers". Among the former were Alantor, Druzalja, and Raevje (two women, one man); and Mirachras, Laevantar, and Krozalih (all women). She used to be attracted to some of her male friends, but in the end, Qarnagri won her heart.

## Trivia

"*Wow, you are such a shameful display - BLOOD! MORE BLOOD! BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GODS! IVORY FOR YRVIRAOH, LORD OF SKULLS! EVERYTHING SHALL BURN, MUAHAHAHAHAHA!"*

* Chandaelje's name was derived from "chandelier".
	+ Her first sabre was a plucked arm from a fallen chandelier. She showed remarkable strength at an early age, although somewhat in a clumsy way. That same "sabre" became a relic in her room.
	+ The author also noticed that her name sounded like "chandra", the Sanskrit word for "moon", so he decided to give her lunar themes.
	+ Fittingly, "Monika", one of the characters that she was based on, sounds like "moon".
	+ Chandaelje does not really like pens, but she is rather good at calligraphy. Not in writing poems, but simply in making splendid banners and then dancing due to the inspiration caused.
* Chandaelje's character was perhaps inspired by Renaissance noblewomen, Yuri from Doki Doki Literature Club, Miao Ying from Warhammer Fantasy, and ZAnimations' depiction of Yuri.
	+ Her love of fencing and her appearance may be inspired by a scene of Yuri with a knife.
	+ To some extent, Chandaelje was also influenced by Monika from DDLC - in terms of being frightening, monstrous, mischievous, and adorably beautiful.
	+ Her ability to shapeshift as a monster or become a giantess may have been influenced by Monika's jumpscare.
* Her favourite genre is screamo metal, and her favourite song is simply called "Nobody Cares".
* Chandaelje has a habit of causing people to trip and fall, simply by secretly raising her leg.
* Her patron god is Narsenre, god of architecture and the dawn.
	+ However, as the leader of hunting parties, she offers her prey (usually a monster, an evil spirit, or a demon) as a sacrifice to Odin, one of three patron gods of the Malendor civilisation venerated as the god of science and magic.
* Chandaelje's favourite nickname for herself is Monoijor, the first planet after Rukthan's sun. It is an arid world sacred to one of Rukthan's goddesses.
	+ The name of her patron planet and its goddess was a joke: it was derived from "Moniyuri", a lesbian fan-ship between Yuri and Monika, the two characters that Chandaelje was based on.
