Aelita

Aelita is a Dragon Priest in service to the last remaining Metallic Dragon in Vyrion- the Silver Dragon Aldan. Blessed with a gift of prophecy, she insists the party is destined to bring order back to the world by restoring Metallic Dragons and undoing the wrongs of the Draconic War. She carries a mysterious mirror pendant that she claims carries the will and knowledge of Silver Dragon Priests that came before her, including her mother. Due to her nymph heritage, Aelita will cause blindness in any mortal that looks at her full uncovered face, so she wears a small cloth mask over her nose and mouth.

### Personality

Aelita grew up very sheltered, and as a result can be naive and stubborn. She believes herself responsible for ensuring the party completes their 'holy mission' to restore the Metallic Dragons and becomes easily frustrated when she believes the party is not taking things seriously. As a result of these things, she can be a bit of a nag- but she seems truly dedicated to whatever action she best feels will serve the greater good.

### Appearance

Aelita's hair is a burgundy shade that she keeps cut short above her shoulders. She has brown eyes and light, freckled skin. As a nymph, Aelita will turn blind any person that looks at her full uncovered face- this leads her to wear a small grey cloth mask over her mouth and nose. Despite this, it is possible to see freckles across her cheekbones and the bridge of her nose. Her build is on the smaller side.

At the beginning of Quid Pro Roll Aelita wears a long blue dress with a brown overdress- both skirts pinned above her knees in the front for mobility. She wears brown lace up boots that reach her knees as well as a hooded grey cloak. On her forearms are stamped leather bracers and she wears a leather belt with a pack on her waist. The most important thing she wears is the Mirror Pendant, which hangs around her neck and Aelita never takes off.

### History

Born in the Glade of the Nymphs, Aelita seems to have earned the ire of almost every resident of the Glade. According to Aelita, this is the combination of blaming her now-deceased mother for the Draconic War, as well as favoritism shown to her by Aldan.

### Relationships

**Aldan** - Not surprising given her role as a priestess, Aelita appears to be incredibly close with her patron dragon, Aldan. Her loyalty to him implies a paternal relationship rather than merely one of worship.

**Solanar** - At the early onset of the quest Aelita seemed to hold an immense amount of contempt for Solanar. This culminated in an argument during their time in Palabar, where Solanar verbally berated her in a fit of anger. Later on, the two seemed to have reached a peace- exchanging apologies when Solanar made Aelita a cloak and face mask as an olive branch.

**Eek** - The first of the main party that Aelita met, Eek and Aelita seemed to have a camaraderie. Often she would defend him to the party and attempt to comfort him after confrontations. However, Eek began to mistrust her as much as the rest of the party when his attempt to steal from her tent resulted in him getting accidentally blinded.

**Johannes** - Despite being certain the Johannes was not present in her vision, Aelita welcomes him along the journey due to his enthusiasm to do good. She often is willing to side with him over Boat or Solanar.

**Boat** - Aelita often seems at odds with Boat, frequently complaining about his desire to stage wrestling demonstrations.

"I just want to hit things with my mace!" - Aelita, under the influence of a *Zone of Truth* spell.

### Trivia

Aelita originally had a much more demure and passive personality in the test one shots recorded before Quid Pro Roll began. Alex ultimately decided that such a personality would not suit the needs of the cast and made her far more assertive and outspoken.
