## Kim'dael

**Kim'dael**, also known as the **Bloodmoon Huntress**, is an ancient Moonshadow Elf who founded the Order of the Blood Moon and uses forbidden magic to prolong her own lifespan.

## Appearance

Kim'dael is an attractive Moonshadow Elf with white skin, full red lips, and cross scars marking her right cheek and her forehead. Her eyes are colored in a piercing red, the left one hidden underneath a thick strand of hair. Her brown and golden horns point upward and the top of her left horn has been broken off. Her long hair, which reaches down to her chest and is braided off on the left side, is colored in white, with its tips dyed in pink streaks.

Her body is partly concealed by a red cloak and a fitting skirt, which she wears over a dark wine red dress. Her arms are covered by long-sleeved gloves, which are partly ripped. Her most notable features are long, red claws that replace her fingernails. Additionally, she wears long thigh-high boots colored in a grayish red. She also sports the Mercy Debt, a magical golden collar adorned with red gems that was seared into her flesh and forged by Aditi as her token of mercy and servitude.

## Personality

Kim'dael is a person who seeks power, no matter the means, relishing in the knowledge that her magic is superior to her enemy's. She has no qualms about sacrificing a life and shows no compassion for her victims. She also tends to underestimate her potential victims, which leads her into being outsmarted and tricked into servitude by Aditi.

Although Kim'dael is willing to perform any task that can potentially guarantee her freedom from the royal family of Lux Aurea, she knows when she must retreat from a fight that she cannot win.

## Skills and Abilities

### Moon Primal Connection

As a Moonshadow Elf, Kim'dael draws power from the Moon and is at her strongest at night, especially on the night of a full moon. Unlike other Moonshadow Elves, she is able to enter her Moonshadow Form outside of a full moon night.

### Forbidden Magic

Through the consumption of blood of still-living beings, Kim'dael is able to extend her lifespan and enhance her magic. Using the blood, she can conjure weapons that can change its form as needed. Additionally, her claws are capable of extending. She can also become completely invisible, transform her body into red smoke, and teleport herself to outmaneuver her enemies. The blood is usually stored in small vials. During the Blood Moon, an enchanted altar assists in further enhancing her power.

### Combatant

In addition to being able to conjure weapons, Kim'dael is an adept at close quarters combat, capable of fighting against Runaan, the leader of the Moonshadow assassins, and even landing a few hits as well. Despite her ferocity, she is eventually bested by Runaan and Ethari's collaborative effort. She was able to overpower several human and Sunfire Elf guards on her own, although Janai in her heat-being mode proved to be a much tougher opponent.

## Trivia

* Kim'dael's name is a combination of "Kim" and "Dael". "Kim" means "noble" or "brave" in Anglo-Saxon, and "Dael" means "small valley" in Dutch. Therefore, "Kim'dael" can be translated as "noble small valley" or "brave small valley".
* Kim'dael's name was spelled as "Kimdael" in her debut graphic novel, despite her initial name reveal in the Tales of Xadia handbook using an apostrophe in her name.
