## Profile

### Identity

Caster's true identity is **Lysithea von Ordelia**, a student at the Officers Academy who is from the Leicester Alliance and is a member of the Golden Deer. She possesses both a Minor Crest of Charon and a Major Crest of Gloucester.

Lysithea is the eldest daughter and heir to the Ordelia family. When she was two years old, her family was punished by the Adrestian Empire for their role in House Hyrm's rebellion. She is a talented magic prodigy at an early age.

In retaliation for House Ordelia's request for aid, the Empire temporarily controlled the family, and the Alliance turned a blind eye to avoid confrontation. The Empire killed key members of the Ordelia family and replaced them with royal officials. Some of the officials were mages from Those Who Slither in the Dark, who then imprisoned Ordelia children and began experimenting with Crests on them. Lysithea's parents were unable to stop them and were forced to watch their children die one by one.

Lysithea was the sole survivor of the Crest experiments. As a result of the experiments, Lysithea had two Crests. Due to this, her hair turned white and her lifespan was greatly shortened. Because of her severed life and the pain her family had endured, Lysithea decided to end her misfortune. After completing her education and ensuring that her parents could live comfortably and peacefully, she refrained from having children and planned to dismantle House Ordelia.

### Personality

Though hailed as a prodigy, Lysithea is in truth an exceptionally hardworking student who desires to learn every day to improve herself to the maximum of her abilities. She states her skills do not come from a natural talent, but merely determination and intense application and dislikes when people refer to her aptitude as merely a natural talent. She seeks to develop her skills as a form of independence so she no longer has to burden her parents, whom she loves dearly.

As the youngest student at the academy at the moment, she dislikes when people treat her like a child or she feels they are doing so. She can be incredibly sharp-tongued when others annoy her or seem to be looking down on her. She is efficient with her time and is annoyed when others waste it, developing an impatience with those who even provide a minor inconvenience or hesitation.

Though she attempts to act like an adult, she is terrified of ghosts and can be easily riled up when the subject is brought up. Lysithea is extremely fond of sweets, primarily cake, referring to it as "divine essence of the heavens". She treats it as if it was currency, as shown in a conversation with Felix where she gives some to him to buy his silence.

Lysithea's impatience is mainly attributed to the horrifying experiments she endured from Those Who Slither in the Dark who implanted a second Crest in her. While she was one of the rare survivors of the procedure, it left her with an extremely shortened lifespan, her hair losing all pigment and was given only a few years to live by Imperial Year 1180. Her desire for independence and separation from her parents is in reality to spare them from having to witness her horrifying fate.

Compared to Edelgard, Lysithea is more open about her tragic childhood, revealing it to others in a majority of her supports. Due to this, she is also able to identify Edelgard as a victim of the same mages, despite Edelgard not telling her about her childhood.

Due to her shortened lifespan, Lysithea accepts her horrific fate, believing that she would have no place in it. In the supports in which lead to an ending which restores her lifespan, she realizes that her future is not set in stone, and resolves to fight on no matter what.

Her dual crests are a closely guarded secret and few, if any, are aware of it. She displays disdain for Crests as a whole and would rather have been born without her natural Crest. She also resents her peerage and willingly gives it up in most endings. In some endings, she is able to have her second crest removed, restoring her lifespan and living a happy ending. In others, she lives out a short, but happy and peaceful life.
