## Story

**I.** As the royal gardener, Colette loved to go to the rose garden at the first light of dawn because it's where she poured her heart and soul. Her rose garden boasted hundreds of different rose species, and each bloomed in its own unique way under Colette's care. The rose garden was where the royals had their tea parties, and it was also where Leona, wife of Arthur, spent most of her time.

**II.** To Colette, Leona was like a sparkling spiring under the moon - beautiful and pure. If she had to pick a rose to describe Leona, it would be the flawless Rose Vendela. What sets Colette apart from the silent admirers of Leona is that Colette's passion was on fire. She placed the most beautiful rose of the day at Leona's window every day and praised Leona's beauty whenever they crossed paths. The first meeting between young Colette and Leona was a dream that Colette didn't want to wake from.

**III.** Colette was far from being impolite or aloof. she only showed her amicable side to those she liked and kept her distance from those she didn't, even if they were Arthur or Aldin. When taking a nap on the garden, Colette accidentally overheard Arthur and Aldin's conversation, where Aldin encouraged Arthur to enter the Time Portal. She couldn't understand why Arthur trusted Aldin so much because none of those who entered the Time Portal came back alive. Was Arthur going to leave his wide and children behind to pursue something so stupid?

**IV.** Arthur entered the Time Portal after all. Instead of obtaining the power of the heavens, he ended up summoning Mac'Haab, the dark lord, and his army of darkness. Under their assault, Bahadore fell, and Colette retreated to Sarakoth with the rest of the royals. She no longer had a garden to end to and spent all her time with Leona. Together, they even buried Arthur's second son, a baby that died at birth. Colette no longer felt any vitality from Leona, who was wilting right before Colette's eyes.

**V.** After the Battle of the Abyss ended, when Colette heard the news about Arthur's death, she immediately fled Sarakoth with Leona. She returned to her hometown, a village near Chattingdale. Colette thought everything was Aldin's plan - he sent Arthur to his death, so naturally, he needed to kill Leona and her son before he could take the throne. However, Aldin swore loyalty to Arthur's nephew, the new king, and Colette held Leona's hand during the coronation. Colette couldn't believe it. Since then, she has been asking herself if she made the right decision or had she been selfish this whole time?

## Tips

* Colette is not available from the general summons pool and is only available during special banners.
* Without her exclusive weapon awakened at least +1, Colette is generally only used in mono red or mostly red teams, as her base counterattack only applies to red allies.
* On a mono red team (or on any team, with her exclusive weapon +1), Colette's counterattack can be devasting against AOE heroes who attack all enemies.
* Due to her passive ability (100% extra damage against shields), Colette is useful against Fallen Titans, shielding heroes (like Malfort) and in the Rune Shield battlefield in Alliance Wars.

## Trivia

* Colette was the royal gardener to King Arthur.
