Kyalonis Amillís

**Kyalonis Amillís**, called **Kya** by few, was a female Praeliorian High Elite who served her homeworld's Empire as a member of Empress Esper Aznaré's inner circle. Once just a standard elite officer, Kyalonis made her way up the imperial hierarchy to become a High Elite, sharing her position with fellow High Elites Pyrana Nirrót and Cirioma Thystamel.

## Biography

### Early Life

In 5920 ASA, Kyalonis Amillís was born on the planet Praelior. As any other citizen of the planet, she grew into admiring the Praeliorian Empire's greatness, although her faith for the imperial force was not entirely blind worship. Her mother was Andal Amillís, who was once an imperial elite officer herself.

#### Grief

When she was only a teenager, Kyalonis lost her mother Andal in a Dremirian-led ambush somewhere in the Dreamer Worlds. With no other way to grieve, Kyalonis was encouraged by colleagues and superiors of her mother to use that anger and seek vengeance upon the Dremirians that robbed her of her mother. From that day forward, she swore to uphold her mother's name and finish what she started as an elite officer of the empire.

Eventually over the course of many years, she worked her way up the ranks of the Praeliorian Empire, becoming an elite and later a High Elite as a member of her Sentinel's inner circle. She became skilled at hunting down Dremirians.

### First Encounter with the Dawns

In 5950 ASA, High Elite Kyalonis Amillís led a hunt on the moon of Joyu in hopes of capturing three Dremirians: Annesidora, Moon, and Sirius, all three of whom were members of a small band of privateer freedom fighters known as the Dawns.

Kyalonis' hunt was only partially successfully, as she managed to retrieve the body of Sirius but not her head nor any limbs from the other two Dremirian women. Annesidora and Moon fought and escaped with their lives, with only their teammate Sirius having fallen to the Praeliorians.

This was the first instance in which High Elite Kyalonis faced off against the Dawns, and it would not be the last. Her failure to defeat and successfully hunt down all three Dremirians during the mission would fuel a multi-year rivalry between the imperial Praeliorian forces and the illustrious Dawns. This rivalry would later extend to her two High Elite coworkers, Pyrana Nirrót and Cirioma Thystamel, in order to see who would manage to kill the Dremirian Dawns first.

## Personality and Traits

### Appearance

Kyalonis Amillís was a Praeliorian woman and, as such, had completely white skin, white eyes devoid of visible pupils or irises, and long, white hair dyed black on the right half of her head in order to denote her status as a High Elite.

Kyalonis decorated her face with sharp eye shadow colored a royal ultramarine-blue to the match the color of her blood. This was her choice of face paint that all Elites wore to signify their status. Underneath each of her eyes were three small pentagonal markings in the same color of her eye shadow.

### Personality

Amillís took her profession extremely seriously, never wanting to leave off with a bad report. She always strove to be at her best when it came to the eradication of Dremirians, and believed that the orders she followed and gave out existed in order to uphold social harmony. Outside of work, Kyalonis was a rather bitter person, seeing the world through a harsh, unforgiving lens. While somewhat less outspoken than her colleagues, Amillís still viewed the Praeliorians beneath her in the imperial hierarchy as lesser. She did not like to be expressive and outward with her emotions, as she took great strides to create an appearance of professionalism and respectability, both in regards to her demeanor and her physical appearance. She hated the idea of herself showing vulnerability, especially to those she viewed as lesser. As a Praeliorian woman living on Praelior during the Era of Diamond Dust, Amillís grew up with the notion that the Dremirians were the enemy of the Praeliorians, justifying their goals of hunting down the Dremirians to extinction in order to preserve the prosperity and future of the Praeliorian people. This mindset was only further encouraged by her position as a High Elite.

Oddly enough, Kyalonis was able to sympathize with others she deemed close, albeit in a twisted manner. She sympathized with her colleagues, such as Cirioma, who were known to have had relatives that committed acts of treason against the Praeliorian Empire. The thought of being connected to traitors made Kyalonis feel genuinely and sincerely bad for her colleagues, as above all, the Empire is what mattered most.

## Skills and Abilities

As one of the Praeliorian Empire's High Elites, Kyalonis was highly proficient at leading Dremirian hunts, guiding her troops as if she were a conductor. Her leadership led to the successful deaths of many Dremirians in the name of her empire. She was a skilled fighter as well, her weapon of choice having been a rapier that could be used as a conduit for magic.

## Trivia

* Kyalonis was originally named Kyanite as a former *Steven Universe* fan character.
	+ Her surname Amillís comes from the mineral sillimanite, which is an aluminosilicate polymorph like the mineral kyanite.
* The *Steven Universe* fan character of Kyalonis went through a few role changes before being translated into the *Conjuring Cosmos* continuity.
	+ Kyalonis first started as the ruler of planet Praelior itself, before eventually being demoted due to her inability to capture the Dawns and for her disappearance after being bubbled.
	+ As time had passed, it was conceptually decided that Esper Aznaré's *Steven Universe* counterpart, Esperanza Diamond, was to be the Diamond ruler of Praelior. As a result, Kyalonis, Pyrana, and Cirioma were put on equal footing as high-ranking officials second only to Esper herself.
