Banchjê Razuklano

**Banchjê "Stargazer" Minahlar mje Razuklano** is a young grifa woman from Rukthan.

## Appearance

Banchjê is a Kuelgon, so she has blue skin. She had medium white hair and sapphire eyes, and she tends to wear a vest, a jacket, and some trousers.

As a dragon, Banchje has white scales and blue tips.

## History

"You may be too old for us, and yet you love us. Why?"

"I will never forget how you raised me to be good." (hugs)

- Banchje thanks her dolls for teaching her.

Banchjê was the youngest of four daughters to hatch from her egg, two years after her sisters hatched. At an early age, she sometimes caused sparks to appear around her, indicating her talent in magic. She became the first of her sisters to receive training.

On her sister Trescheru's sixth birthday, her nursery doll Jolqorin was converted into a robot, who became one of Banchjê's childhood heroes. The other two were furry tiger-like beings, whom she looked up to as foster parents.

When Banchjê was eight, her mother was murdered by rival gangsters. In her sorrow and rage, she followed her father and sisters to avenge her mother. As a kid, she was able to lob fireballs at her mother's killers, incinerating them. After her mourning, her father infused his magic into the robot, giving it magical powers to train her to fight back.

She was fourteen when her sisters celebrated their sixteenth birthday, when she overheard their attempts to kill her childhood dolls as target practice. With Jolqorin the doll, they informed her father Elbonja, who appeared as a storm cloud to stop the daughters from killing the dolls. She turned herself into a cloud, bringing the frightened dolls to the garden, where she hugged them: ever since, they are forever grateful to her for saving them. They even saved her life when she was attacked by a swarm of demons by using their mechanical gloves to crush the infernal beasts to glass dust.

As she grew older, she followed her friends in using her magical powers to hunt the undead in the depths of the arcologies. She celebrated her nineteenth birthday by teleporting towards her friends, clothed in magical armour designed as that of an einherjar. In her guise as an angel, she frightened the undead who preyed on her friends, and they gladly slaughtered the demons.

## Personality

Banchjê may be sweet and kind, but when confronted with evil, she becomes cruel. Sometimes she enjoys scaring her enemies, especially the undead.

She loves to dance.

## Abilities

Banchje is the most adept among her sisters in the ways of magic. Her lore is the Lore of the Thamunzar, the same basic lore of magic used by nearly everyone in Rukthan to a lesser extent. Therefore, her lore may fall under the First Lore, that of the order god Sarasvas, like her sisters and her family to varying degrees.

In addition, she was taught in the magical lores of the deities Vaisotre (her patron goddess, ruler of the dusk) and Vrinxal (queen of darkness). It could be possible that some of her most powerful spells, taught personally by her father and mother, were possibly even of the dangerous Ninth Lore, the Lore of Odin, hence her einherjur form being able to radiate divine light.

She can form energy disks out of thin air. She can also suck away the essence from evil spirits into her hands, storing it into magical energy that she uses for later spells.

Her friends sometimes recall that in her hunts, she used to ride on Lijambu, a majestic sight of a monstrous princess on her azure tiger cutting a path for her fellow hunters, slaughtering dozens of demons and undead.

As a Rukthaneh, Banchje can draw out long claws from her hands. She sometimes likes to strike down foes by pouncing on them, impaling them with her magic-infused claws. Some suggested that she might had learned it from the fairies of Vanaheim.

## Relationships

Banchje's childhood friends are Jolqorin, and the monsters Lijambu and Raiambu. Jolqorin was originally a little doll, and then rebuilt into a taller, adult-like body inhused with magic as her guardian.

She was the member of a club of ghost-hunters. Among her friends were Viqlangar (a boy), Norotendlar (a girl), Glunduri (a girl), and Vidaitra (a girl, a Novantirna). They were allowed to ride on Raiambu and her mate, although they were scared at first from the felines' size. Vidaitra was the most frightened of the four, but eventually she enjoyed riding on the tigers as she slew the horrors beneath.

Her love interest was Skâr, a lad gifted with fire powers.

## Trivia

"*Ekki hraedjan.*" (Fear not.)

- Banchje as an einheri.

* Banchje was inspired by Natsuki and Monika from Doki Doki Literature Club, pop stars, and the young einherjar characters of Magnus Chase.
	+ The reason why the author based her on Natsuki was out of pity over the "trapsuki" meme, which he thought to be degrading.
	+ Her magic powers were most likely influenced by one animated video where Monika lobs energy disks at a character.
* Her favourite costume was the armour of a (female) einherjur. Sometimes she does this to scare her friends and especially the undead, and sometimes she does this to cheer them up. The reason why she chose that outfit was perhaps to laugh at people celebrating her for being the best-behaved of her sisters, or because of her magical abilities being more aligned with the gods, by calling her "a child of Heaven".
	+ This could be somewhat inspired by memes about Doom Eternal hunting demons and "Mr Incredible gets Canny/Ascended", in which the opposite of Hell and demons is Heaven. In her case, it is the beauty of Asgard.
* Her patron deities are Vaisotre and Vrinxal. Vaisotre is the goddess of the dusk and art, and Vrinxal is the death goddess who is Makravalas' consort.
* In the past, because she used to take care of two cat-like monsters, and due to her closeness to the Gods of Rukthan, sometimes she was even visited by Freyja. The Goddess of Cats not only appeared in her dreams. but sometimes in disguises:
	+ At her tenth birthday to bestow a set of claws, supposedly crafted by the elves of Vanaheim.
	+ After Elbonja and her sisters slaughtered the murderers of her mother, to console her.
	+ One dark and cloudy night, during the haunted month, to show her the ghosts who tried to attack her home so she can hunt them down. This was when she used her claws to pounce at the undead like a large cat, tearing into their essence with her magical talons.
