Avalon

*“I was once their great fighter... look at me now.”*
-Avalon to Jyn after fleeing from Lt. Draven

Avalon was an Esadora based side character first seen in Episode 2. As a scholar, she was knowledgeable on the geography of The Feral Dominion, including specific locations of civilizations. Avalon was the first questgiver the party met, and provided pay for early quests.

## Appearance

Avalon was a 132 year old Female Earth Genasi, with brown skin and ochre eyes. Her brown hair was pulled to the side in a low front ponytail. She had a large scar covering her nose of unknown origin, and was commonly seen wearing traditional earth-toned robes of a scholar.

## Personality

Studious and to the point, Avalon wanted what was best for Esadora, specifically regarding the conflict between Esadora and the migrating nation of Vrago, who had been fighting for years. Her opinions and ideas may have seemed harsh do to her concise way of communication, and she had a strong distaste for Tieflings, seen by her dislike for Zegrea entering her office in Episode 9.

## Background

After Lt. Draven exposed her background briefly Episode 4, Avalon explained to Jyn that she was once Domus Vitae's "Greatest Fighter" without elaboration. Trained by Abbot Chyne before Jyn, she completed her training and left to protect Domus Medio beyond The Western Wall. This span of time was unknown and unspecified by Avalon, but she claimed during this time she was seen as a traitor by the other monks and sent away, only to be soon imprisoned by The White Queen for crossing the wall. She was able to escape imprisonment, and travelled to Abruport to flee on boat. She befriended a group of pirates who told her about Esadora, and she traveled with them briefly. Taking refuge in Esadora, she decided to begin a new life as a local scholar, laying low and trying to stay off of The Queen's radar. Occasionally, she would hear news of the Queen's guard approaching Esadora, but no guards ever arrived. In Episode 4, it was discovered that the Queen's guard was stopped likely by Hoodag, and upon his death waves of Queen's guard had begun invading the Feral Dominion, some knowing Avalon's location. Upon receiving information of an upcoming attack from the captured Lt. Kyrius, Avalon sent the party away to Abruport to stop the upcoming invasion. The party later found Avalon again Episode 23, fighting against a mass invasion of The Feral Dominion. Her army was defeated, and dropped a spur of the moment offer to spare the lives of those living in The Feral Dominion and invade Domus Vitae instead. She was interrogated and spoke to The Queen privately about the deal, and she agreed only if Avalon invaded Domus Vitae herself, with only a small group of soldiers. Lt. Draven was set to attend as well, and he decided to bring Jyn Res, noting the first time that their previously established deal came into play. With heavy backlash, Jyn was forced to join the invasion of Domus Vitae and the party came along with her. During the invasion of Domus Vitae, Avalon ran with the party to check on Jyn on the top floor, only to find a limp Jyn Res on the ground alongside Vemiss. Avalon was deemed the largest threat, and was bitten in half and torn apart by Vemiss.

## Abilities

As an Earth Genasi, Avalon has the ability to manipulate earth, seen during her brief fight with Lt. Draven in Episode 4. She mentions her monk training, but rarely uses her monk abilities, instead using her earth manipulation to knock enemies prone.

## Relationships

#### The Main Party

* Zancur: Originally distrustful of Zancur, due to his past as The High King's personal guard. Over time Avalon began to trust Zancur, but never fully rid herself of minor suspicion.
* Jyn Res: Avalon took a liking to Jyn upon their first meeting, later found out to be because they were both monks from the same monastery. Their relationship was positive until Jyn brought Zegrea into Avalon's office, and Avalon's aversion to tieflings made their relationship go from positive to tense. The two met again during the major invasion of The Feral Dominion by Emocia, and when Avalon offered Domus Vitae's destruction, Jyn was enraged. In that moment the two became enemies, with Jyn seeing Avalon as a traitor to the monks, much like her history. Jyn stood ready, prepared to defend the monastery from her by any means necessary, even leading to her own ruin to summon the very thing that took Avalon's life.
* Aerpip Faegi: Avalon trusted Aerpip like she trusted Jyn, as the two were always at each other's side. Overall the relationship was positive, with little words spoken between the two. After her betrayal of Domus Vitae, Aerpip hesitantly stood with Jyn.
* Tobis: The two met for the first time during the invasion of The Feral Dominion by Emocia, and Tobis was caught in the middle of arguments between Jyn and Avalon. He relied heavily on Jyn to explain her strong distaste to him, and he agreed with Jyn, becoming enemies with Avalon.

#### Major Characters

* Lt. Draven: The two have a long history, notably seen by the way Draven interacted with her in Episode 4, referring to her as "sweetheart", and proving he knows her history by directly naming the monastery she came from. The two are enemies, and Draven continued to pursue her ever since she escaped the capital. He was eventually successful in his attempts and briefly held her as a prisoner before her death.
* The White Queen: After escaping imprisonment at the hands of The White Queen, she had continually sent units lead by lieutenants to find her. Avalon hated The Queen, and all forms of royalty and queen's guard.
