## Personality

She is an ice queen, according to Arthur, she and Kathyln have the same personality but she makes Kathlyn seem like an actress in a theater. She does not let her emotions gets in the way of her duty. However, she is still capable of showing emotions, like when she is with Kathyln or slightly smiling when sparring with Arthur. Despite her coldness, she deeply cares about her subordinates and comrades as she was affected by Aya's death, the Elven Kingdom's destruction, and Arthur's apparent death but embraced him once she finds out he is alive after the fight with Taci. She has no tolerance for insubordination as shown when she stopped Bairon from attacking Arthur or when she stopped Arthur from arguing about the battle plan in Etistin Bay despite Arthur's feelings being correct as it turned out to be a distraction. She is loyal to the Council of Dicathen as she imprisoned Arthur without hesitation despite most of the council being corrupted. However, it was not out malice but rather duty from her part. She is clumsy in social situations as she had a hard time inspiring Mica and Aya to continue fighting. She is also capable of acknowledging someone's strength as shown during her spar with Arthur. She is highly competitive shown through her excitment when sparring with Arthur.

## Relationships

Kathyln Glayder - She and Kathyln have a teacher and student relationship. As a fellow ice mage, Varay taught Kathyln during the war.

Bairon Wykes - They have a professional relationship and a mutual respect for one another. However, she will not hesitate to put him in his place when he acts out of line. This is shown when he and Olfred were fighting over whether to kill Arthur in Xyrus Academy. When he tried to kill Arthur again with lighting, she shielded Arthur with her ice and coldly put an ice sword to his neck to show him she will not tolerate insubordination, to which he relented.

Arthur Leywin - They have a cordial relationship and mutual respect for one another. They first met at Xyrus Academy when Bairon tried to kill him she shielded Arthur with her ice to protect him from the attack then subdued Bairon to stop him. After gathering accounts from all witnesses about what happened, she treated him gently like when allowed him to be unmagnetized but restrained him with cuffs and a device to seal his core. Also, when he requested that she release Sylvie from the ice to be comfortable or to talk to his family twice before taking him to prison, she accepted all his requests. After his release by Windsom to train with the Asuras to prepare for the war, in her conversation with Tessia, her expression showed she was envious of him because of his training with the Asuras, which everyone dreamed of. She hoped he would be ready for the war. After his return and meeting him again , she is impressed that he reached mid silver stage and urged him to continue his hard work. She was impressed that he defeated a retainer by himself and enjoyed sparring with him as he pushed her to use most of her abilities and made her smile slightly. In the end, she defeated him but praised him and gave him some advice on his ice control. After the war is lost and he is presumed dead, she was affected by his apparent death but when they reunited after the fight with Taci, she embraced him and was glad to have him back. She is amazed by his Asura transformation and new aether powers. Currently, they are working together to get stronger to match him to fight the Vitras and other Asuras.
