Mistral

*"Die"*
— Mistral to Lotus Kel

Mistral from Jericho Season 4

Mistral, formerly known as Alira Evendane, is a crewmember on the Jericho ship and one of the six main party members involved in the quest to close the rift and save Kalton. Alira Evendane died shortly after being accused of murder, and went on to possess the body of Mistral, a member of a crime syndicate who was executed. She joined the Jericho crew and pursued a goal of becoming one of the Seven Deadly Sins in order to possess enough power to close the rift and stop Kalton from collapsing.

## Appearance and personality

Alira Evendane had long, wavy, brown hair, wide, brown eyes, ivory skin, and a small build. She dressed in ragged garments and always styled her hair in a braid. Mistral had short, stormy grey hair, wide blue eyes, faint, blue skin, and a small build. She wore merchants clothes and had patches of leather stitched into her clothing to provide some protection. After Mistral died, and Alira took control of Mistral's body, she began to style her hair in a tight bun behind her head. She mainly dressed in her Kaultinium gown crafted by Varis Xiloscent, and occasionally wore scarves and cloths around it to provide some warmth.

Mistral mostly wears a Kaultinium chain shirt and skirt instead of her gown now, as it is easier to maneuver herself. She most often wears a pink sweater layered with straps and cloths over her chain shirt, and a pink and brown skirt over her chain skirt.

Alira Evendane was reserved and delicate in her mannerisms while still living on Endaelia, and rarely made friends. She spent her time reading and studying the culture and history of Endaelia, and parceled out parts of her day to spend time with her boyfriend Koron. Mistral didn't have friends, she had connections. She was reserved like her dimensional counterpart. But not delicate in the slightest. She would often get in disagreements with her associates, which would result in pain, and often death, from her lightning powers. Mistral only worked to make money, and could care less what she did to make it, and she only dealt in large sums of money. When Mistral died, Alira became more confident with her new powers, and began to build up some strength. She sought out danger instead of running from it, and felt no remorse in dealing with the deaths of the evil.

Mistral now seeks to protect all innocent life, and has an extreme hatred towards all those who seek to do evil. Mistral may be calm and lighthearted when around her crewmates, but in the face of evil Mistral shows no mercy, and often displays excessive violence towards her foes.

## Relationships

The following contains Mistral's current views on her fellow crew members:

### Ash

"Ash has a bombastic personality, and that can sometimes be detrimental to people around her. I don't personally have a vendetta against her, but she sometimes seems like she has one against everyone. I try to find ways to trust people who are around me, but even I question what I really know about Ash. First she lied about her name and appearance, and then she tells us that her father was from Kalton! But Ash is only distant from the group at the worst of times. She genuinely cares about her crew mates, and seems to be developing a deep bond with the group. I know some people find her shifting abilities unnatural, but I think they are super useful, and they make her a more unique person anyways."

### Daniel Blackrose

"Obviously a big flaw of Daniel is his pridefulness. I don't blame him though since this trait is amplified by his sin form. But it is hard to be around him when he brags about being the strongest in the group. He is a strong captain for the Jericho though, and is extremely capable of commanding his crew."

### Etheal

"Etheal is headstrong, and refuses to be wrong in any way, shape, or form. She thinks she knows what's best for everyone, but being an angel does not make you psychic. You may know the difference between right and wrong, but in a world where demons roam and heavenly virtues fade into chaos, the concept of good or evil, right or wrong, fades into gray. In my personal opinion, she loves to show off, and chooses to do so on a daily basis. But all things aside, I look up to Etheal. Her pure heart has guided the group to victory many times, and her vast power set can send fear through the hearts of her enemies. I actually try to mimic some of her mannerisms and powers because I look up to her so much. I sure hope she never notices!"

### Mae Ryth

"It is hard to judge someone you just met, but Mae is easy to read. She lives to torment her sister Etheal, and is distant from the rest of the crew. She lives almost like a parasite in our crew, only providing as much support to our cause as she needs to. But her intellect and arcane abilities can offer potential in the battles she chooses to defend the rest of her crew in."

### Sosti

"I've never met a person as childlike for her own age as Sosti. She is curious, and easily impressed by small things. She does seem distant from the group at times, but probably because her mind is wandering to imaginary places, which can be detrimental when we need to be vigilant and aware of what is happening in our own world. Though I don't envy her immature personality, she continues to impress me day by day with her capability and intellect. She is loyal to our group, and has quite literally taken several bullets, and not to mention a bomb to the face, for us."

### Varis Xiloscent

"Varis at times seems to trek his own path, and at times works hard to provide for everyone in our group. He is reliable as a friend though, and has done many favors for me that I cannot repay him for. It's hard for me to show my appreciation for him, but I hope he knows. Varis is smart and powerful, and has done a great deal already by becoming a sin and suppressing his abilities for as long as he has."

## History

### Life on Endaelia

Alira Evendane was born in the city of Landigard to Adrienne and Bond Evendane. Her parents were both librarians who read books day and night, barely finding time to interact with each other, or their own daughter. They slowly grew apart after the birth of their second child, Slade Evendane, and eventually divorced, leaving Alira and Slade in the care of Bond. Bond cared little about life from that point on, and neglected his children rather then caring for them. Alira was not sent to school, so she read books, many of them fantastical non-fiction books that sparked her imagination for a different life.

A boy named Gale began to attend the library regularly when Alira was around the age of 14. She and Gale grew close, as he was her only friend outside of the library. Gale, raised on the streets by sqaulid adventures, knew of the many exciting things that lived on Endaelia, and Alira was captivated by his knowledge of the unknown and his witty attitude, They grew close as children, and even began to regularly go out together. After several years together, Gale told Alira he had to stop seeing her because he was assigned to a militia in a far off town.

At the age of 18, Alira went to visit Gale, only to see he had a new partner. Alira was saddened, but was able to move on quickly, but 6 months later, Alira recieved news that Gale had been murdered. Not soon afterwards, the town's guard spoke with Alira about her relationship with Gale, and they were quick to suspect her. One night, they made an attempt to arrest her at her apartment. Alira, afraid for her life, ran to her roof, and was eventually cornered by the guards. Alira slipped on the edge and plummeted to her death, her body landing in an alleyway where it was picked up by the guards. In the seconds before her death, Alira feared the end of her life and what would happen to her, but this was not her end.

### Life on Kalton

At the exact moment Alira's body would have collided with the ground, Alira felt as if she was continuing to fall, and as she opened her eyes she saw distorted white faces and heard a cacophany of voices. Alira felt as if she was gradually falling slower, until it felt as if she had been gently lain down. The faces and voices began to fade, until it was dark and silent. Alira opened her eyes, but she didn't remember closing them in the first place. After assessing her surroundings, she found that she was in a dimly lit cave, tiny droplets of water falling on her forehead. Footsteps could be heard approaching her, and the once dim light became brighter as the steps became louder. Shadows crept in the room, soon followed by their hosts, 4 people decked out in cave expoling gear, but each person looked drastically different in appearance. These 4 figures were Etheal, Sosti, Ash, and Jen. They approached Alira and asked if she was hurt and how she got here. Alira responded asking if she was in the afterlife, pressuming herself to be dead. But as she lifted her hand to her face, she noticed the off color of her skin. She was dressed in ragged merchant's clothes, and curiously, she was bleeding from her chest. She stood up, pressing her fist to her chest to stop the bleeding, and felt odd, like she was no longer herself. But in actuality she was herself in a way, only a variation of herself. She was Mistral. She picked up her belongings, most of which she had never seen before, and noticed Mistral's Diary with her name on it. When asked what her name was, she replied Mistral. She looked at herself in an ornate glass mirror found in her backpack, and was shocked. Her face was the same and her voice was the same; but her skin was sky blue, and her hair was stormy grey.

Mistral joined the adventurers, and some other people they met along the way, to escape the cave, but another strange thing happened. After they thought they had found a way out, they were greeted with a chain, that when it made contact with them, gave each person a feeling of vertigo, followed by a falling sensation that, when it ended, left the players in a new, strange location. Eventually they all wound up on a flying ship, which they would later discover is the Jericho. There they met each crewmate, including the captain, Daniel Blackrose, who welcomed them to their ship. Mistral and the Jericho crew were tasked by Fate with sealing the cataclysm, a world destroying gate to the Abyss that was tearing everything apart. The Jericho crew members devised a plan to attain the power of the seven deadly sins and seal the gate with all seven present. It was soon after that they found out that Daniel was himself, a sin. Specifically the incarnation of Pride. In order to avoid conflict, they got him to tag along in their quest to save Kalton.

After traveling to a desolate location in their search, they met a youthful looking bipedal cat named Mippy. But shortly after meeting their new friend, they met their enemy, Wrath. After a brutal struggle, one of the crew members, Varis Xiloscent obtained the power of Wrath. The party made a quick trip to Atlasdale in order to take on the next sin, Sloth, who they pressumed to be Vigo Kitewall. After a squabble, they discovered that Vigo Kitewall was not Sloth, but rather possessed by him. The city was severely damaged from the fight, and hundereds died. Sloth tormented the party by causing yet another public disaster in Troden.

After the events in Troden, the party recieved a distress call from a group of travalers stranded on Iido. The group traveled to save them, and discovered that these travalers were natives from Endaelia, and that the universe was destroyed. Mistral, devastated, isolated herself from the group for some time. The Jericho ship traveled off Iido to some nearby caves, where they encountered several Kold. Mae, one of the crew members, lost her body in an attempt to destroy Fate, and the crew saved her by placing her soul in the body of a scorchfire harpy corpse. The group, after defeating the remaining Kold, retreated further into the caves, where the found the gates of Aarden. In Aarden the group met the Forclaimers, and an Unmayker called, "The Astronaut". One Forclaimer, named Eggy, joined the party temporarily. In order to get back to the mainland, the group needed to travel through the blood marshes, where they encountered Etheal's husband, Gyahaul, a corrupted angel. They fought, but Gyahaul escaped before they could end his life. After escaping the blood marshes using the shadow realm, the group saw a dangerous sign in the distance, the white beam of light that meant a heavanly virtue was being born. The party met at the source of the light, and there met the new virtue Hope. But while Varis and Mae kept watch outside the home of Hope, Tom Barthalemew approached them, a previously innocent seeming shopkeeper. Tom trapped Varis in the shadow realm, and killed Mae, sending her to the Abyss. Tom and his lackey Ash, once a friend of the Jericho crew, disquised themselves as Mae and Varis, only to be quickly found out and banished themselves to the Abyss. Mae and Varis were freed, but time had passed differently for them, resulting in a signifigant amount of time passing having ellapsed during the span of about an hour.

After the incedent, the Endaelian crew members, Eggy, and Arkon parted ways with the rest of the Jericho crew. After a long period without being able to hunt sins, the group finally got back on track by hunting down Gluttony. A battle ensued that ended quite well for the group, with minimal injuries, and the power of Gluttony in Sosti's possession. A mishap involving an Astral Leviathan forced Mistral to use the full brunt of her magical abilities, by casting the dreaded "wish" spell. Mistral was soon confronted by the Eternals, who almost took away her ability to cast wish ever again. But the repercutions of her wish led to a lapse of time and space when thousands of timelines began to collapse on each other. This phenominon caused interpherence from several of the Unmaykers themselves, who showed the Jericho how powerful they really are by erasing Hope from existence. The party took some time to recoup, as this rapture resulted in the death of the eternal Life. But after some time they managed to run into the sin Greed entirely by accident. The party fought Greed in an extremely devastating battle that resulted in the deaths of party members. Varis, using his high magical abilities, reversed time, creating seperate timelines, and helped defeat Greed after a second try.

Mistral inhertied the power of Greed, as well as his many possessions, among which was a black kaliedescope, a powerful artifact that can duplicate anything it touches into 12 exact copies of itself. Mistral accidentally used this on herself, creating copies of herself. As the group began on their way out of the building they fought Greed in, it seemed that Greed had made 12 copies of himself before the party fought him. The copies demanded that Mistral give all of Greed's possessions to them, as well as her life. Mistral devised a plan to stay alive, and had the 12 copies make their way back to the Jericho ship, while one stayed behind to confront the Greeds. The Greeds banished Mistral, along with Mae, who had also used the black kaliedescope, to an alternate timeline where they were both quickly killed. Back on the Jericho, one of the 12 Mistral copies cast the wish spell again to reconnect herself with her 12 copies, which worked, but not without causing major damage.

## Abilities

Alira Evendane was not given any powers at birth in her homeworld of Endaelia. She knew of existing powers around her, but did not choose to pursue a career in any dangerous works, not out of fear of getting hurt, but rather a distaste for choosing a life destined for fame and recognition. She had heard the stories and read the books, but they never piqued her interest. After her untimely death, Alira, now in the body of Mistral, had power at her fingertips that she had never dreamed of having. These powers, being largely untamed at the beginning of her journey as Mistral, were lightning based, and seemed to be a genetic trait from her previous host's bloodline. She first discovered her powers while incarcerated on the Jericho with the rest of her future crew members, where, while in a panicked state, she blew the bars of the cell by accident with a massive burst of lightning, which then caused her to vomit from the new feeling.

As time went on, and Mistral was able to use her powers on command, she also began to produce stronger and more concentrated blasts of lightning. Though Mistral's abilities were mainly lightning based, she also began to concentrate her magical abilities to cast different spells. At this point, having fully adopted her new powers, Mistral adapted to her different, and extremely dangerous situation by becoming a sorceress.

Mistral learned that certain metals and materials can enhance her lightning abilities, and thus began to use this to her advantage moving forwards. Varis Xiloscent was able to expertly craft a channel for her power, a gown made of Kaultinium fiber that was able to emit a constant stream of electricity from her body. Another channel that was made was Luster, a blade made entirely of concentrated lightning through a Kaultinium shaft. It can only be activated by Mistral, and is left just as the hilt when not being used in combat.
