Methys Alya Gratia

**Methys Alya Gratia**, is a talented designer from Interra Enochis.

## Story

Methys, a predominant clothing designer, encountered Griffin Deneve Fidelitas during a courtly meeting, as a representative of House Gratia. Learning of what happened to him, she supported him as he protected her against the malicious Leonid Eltanin Fortitudo, and the pair defeated the Nephilim threat before returning home, Methys confessing her love for Griffin despite the latter being tainted by Nephilim torture.

Methys later came to learn of the young Aylin's existence, rescuing her and raising her as if she was her own child, even after learning of Aylin's tragic origins. Not too long before she did so, however, Griffin was captured and detained by House Iustitia, prompting Methys to go rescue him. She was too late, however, with Griffin succumbing to the Whisper, leaving Methys alone, swearing that she would save him from corruption.

However, instead, Shemzahai came to Methys and managed to make her succumb to his influence, transforming her into a powerful Nephilim at his service, Luxuria, in exchange for returning Griffin to her. An agent to Shemzahai, Methys kept on working for those she held dear, scheming to defend new laws protecting Lagöz, as well as advising friend and fellow nephilim Duna Hamal Sapientia, advising her to overcome her guilt and reunite with Aylin.

## Appearance

Methys is a woman with purple hair and eyes, dressed in beautiful blue and black clothing designed by herself (although, due to her work as a fashion designer, she often changes costumes), and a mask crafted by her friend Parvati Mimosa Oratio. As Luxuria, her defining characteristic is a giant, levitating fin instead of her legs, making her appear as a floating mermaid

## Personality

Methys is a slightly eccentric and dramatic, yet deeply compassionate and generous, woman, who believes in ideals and aesthetics of peace, mutual generosity, love and charity. She has a marked dislike for those who have "no taste" or act in a barbaric way. Despite being quite loyal to Enochian traditions, she still puts those around her, including Griffin and her personal slave Kagu, way above her other priorities.

As Luxuria, Methys is slightly more dominating, manipulative and driven by her desires - towards Griffin mostly, but also towards Kagu and Lagoz in general, a people whose empathy and strong emotions deeply echo with her newborn state of mind. While not actually sane, Methys remains self-aware and able to make deeply human decisions, echoing her previous intentions.

## Powers

* **Enhanced Physical Abilities:** Methys is, like most Nobles, a talented swordsman with superior endurance and strength. Nevertheless, she seldom fights one-on-one. These abilities were increased as Luxuria.
* **Animus Use:** Methys is able to use certain Manifestation-based abilities. Now, she is able to greatly enhance these abilities with her twisted Nephilim abilities.
* "**Luxuria":** Methys's signature ability allows her to feed on others' love and adoration, becoming stronger as she does so.
* **Corrupted Form:** Methys has now gained immense powers due to her corruption, bolstering her abilities at the cost of her sanity.

## Trivia

* Her name is derived from the stone Amethyst, hinting at her color.
