Quylla Ernas

**Quylla Ernas** is a commoner from the Village of Cerea who later attends the White Griffon Academy and a genius who becomes hailed as the next 'God of Healing'. She is the fourth best diagnostician in the Griffon Kingdom and the second best when it comes to bloodwork and magical plant physiology. She has a passion for magic research and progress, and later becomes one of the few friends Lith divulges his true natures and Solus' existence to. Despite having a weak body at the start, Quylla quickly develops and demonstrates a potential even greater than Lith's, becoming the first of their group to reach a violet core. She is also the first human true mage. Quylla is currently married to Morok Eari.

## Appearance

When Quylla is first introduced she is described as a petite girl with long brown hair, a small and scrawny build, making her look barely a day past eight despite being twelve at the time. Before taking the tonic that Professor Vastor gives her, she stands at a height of 4'5" (1.35 meters), weighing barely above 66 lb (30 kg) and looking so frail and weak that a gust of wind would be able to blow her away.

After eating properly and growing in a loving environment, Quylla develops into a pretty young woman. She is 5'5" (1.65 meters) with long brown hair with shades of silver, and cute features. Faluel’s training helps her gain a few kilos of pure muscles and become a couple of centimeters thicker in every direction, though not in a sexy way.

### Soul Projection

Quylla's Soul Projection is an image of herself dressed with the deep violet robe of a Magus. The Projection looks happy, yet as soon as it tries to cast a spell, her fingers turn into snakes that devour her inside out. Then, the slithering mass of snakes turn into her body and the cycle starts anew. The snakes have the faces of those who she thinks won't hesitate to exploit whatever ability she acquires in pursue of their own interests.

It represents Quylla as a very ambitious person, but ambition that is not backed by confidence so much as by self-doubt. The Projection is born from the fear that her powers will betray her when she needs them the most. Someone who holds back because she's scared of the consequences that tapping into her true potential might hold.

### Soul Vision

Quylla appears as a being of pure light that is tainted at her core by a darkness that fights to consume her.

## Personality

She is a very kind and caring character who generally shies away from violence. During the beginning of the academy, she was also extremely shy when it came to Lith, unable to express her feelings for him and stuttering/fumbling clumsily around in his presence. However, after the mock exam, Quylla gains a lot of confidence and ferocity.

Like most geniuses, whenever Quylla makes a breakthrough in the magical field, her mind focuses more on the discovery than on the threat at hand, making her a sitting duck.

Quylla yearns to never suffer from loneliness or starvation again. She also stress eats to relieve her wounded ego.

## Abilities

Quylla is a prodigy at light magic, discovering holograms on her own after studying communication amulets and creating a spell called Injection which acts as a magical IV line to feed potions. Having studied light magic extensively during her time as an Assistant Professor, she is very familiar with Body Sculpting and by extension shapeshifting.

## Background

### Childhood

Quylla was an orphan from the village of Cerea, and a social outcast for also being too weak to work in the fields, before later being considered a monster due to her magical prowess. After the village healer's death at the hands of bandits, she self-taught herself Healing magic using the healer's books, and was subsequently picked up by the regional Duke and recommended to White Griffon Academy. The bandits had set fire to the village, leading her to become scared of fire magic and thus impacting her progress with dimensional magic.

### White Griffon Academy

When Lith runs into trouble with nobles on his first day, Quylla avoids and doesn't help him, due to her timid personality and having mistaken him for a noble. Lith warns her to never trust anyone and to get a Guilty Ballot, seeing her as destined to end up like Nana due to her childish naivety. Quylla had attended the academy in hopes of finally fitting in and to make friends/find people she trusts, but was quickly disillusioned. Her short stature and weak body, as well as being unable to use any kind of silent magic except for light magic, makes her struggle in the beginning. She demonstrates an aptitude for Healing nearly on par with Lith's and a deeper understanding of magic than most of her peers, drawing Professor Vastor's favoritism and earning her a tonic that helps her growth. She is approached by Yurial Deirus and Friya Solivar, the former who treats her like a plaything at first, while the latter later develops a sister bond with her.

Quylla quickly grasps silent first magic, and thanks to the tonic her core evolves to deep cyan. During the mock exam, she is told be her team to "not be in the way," so she runs away when the magical beasts attack. She gives them a piece of her mind, and when things escalate, Professor Vastor intervenes and beats the aggressors viciously. Her team loses shortly afterwards, and Quylla gets a Guilty Ballot, reveling in her newfound freedom and confidence.

After the second trimester, Quylla grows close with Friya and develops a crush on Lith for his cold but kind demeanor, but is unable to confess her feelings. Lith teaches her triple casting to help with Dimensional Magic, and she becomes the first to be able to cast a Warp Steps. She is later the only one of their class to have learned the Restoration spell and proves essential to stabilizing the dimensional rifts due to the Training Hall's protections being sabotaged. She and the others save Lith's life after he sacrifices himself to protect them and becomes badly burned and loses an arm in the process.

Lith is forced to reveal his enhanced physical prowess (thanks to Awakening) to Quylla and the others in order for them to cover for him and pretend they fought the Plant Abomination together. When a national state of emergency is declared in Kandria and healers/alchemists from the Great Academies are summoned, Quylla begs Professor Marth to let her go but he refuses, citing her young age and inexperience.

Quylla and Friya stay with Phloria at her family mansion while the academy's activities are suspended. Quylla struggles to learn noble etiquette from Phloria, while she teaches the other two to open a Warp Steps. When Phloria’s mother Jirni Ernas reveals that Friya's mother has been labeled a traitor and escaped the Kingdom, she offers to adopt both Quylla for her talents and Friya for more leverage in obtaining the Solivar's lands.

The second exam involves a special test set by Headmaster Linjos, where Quylla and the others' resolution are tested against humanoid monsters. Lith is assigned as their supervisor as an impulse control test, and nudges them towards the right courses of action. However, the last test involves executing traitors to the Kingdom, overseen by the Queen and Linjos. Quylla leaves, unable to carry out the sentence.

Quylla and Yurial are infected by toxins during Ilyum Balkor's first probing attack and are barely kept alive by Friya until Lith arrives and extracts the toxins. After Lith saves Protector and falls into a coma, Quylla decides to seek a life as a Healer and not a fighter. She also reevaluates her friendship with/crush on Lith, and asks Orion to bring her and Friya to social events to start dating. At the start of the 5th year, she decides to date a boy named Xodard, who gifts her a small ring that turns out to be one of Nalear's slave rings.

Quylla is tasked with eliminating Constable Jirni Ernas and any Healers to ensure her death. When Nalear’s insurrection begins, Quylla and Friya make their way to the rendezvous point and are assaulted by enslaved male students until Jirni, Orion, Phloria and Yurial arrive. Quylla stabs Jirni in the heart and lungs and slits Yurial's throat, but is subdued and freed from the ring before she can get to Friya. As soon as Jirni recovers, she knocks Quylla unconscious to prevent her from committing suicide and tasks Friya with bringing her to safety in the academy forest.

The following weeks the Ernas sisters recuperate at their household with Lith, Elina and Rena taking care of them. Quylla's life hangs by a thread, unable to eat and constantly crying herself to exhaustion, only potions and the sharing of vitality keeping her alive. At night she sleeps with Jirni and Orion. She receives permission to stay home and recover, resuming her 5th year the following academic year with Friya as an Assistant Professor and her lady-in-waiting. Quylla quickly regains the lost ground, reaching the top of the Healing class and earning praise from the teachers. She also dates a boy named Kalan for a couple months before breaking up after he attempts to "rush for the fifth year."

### Assistant Professor

After finishing the academy, Quylla works in the White Griffon light department. She realizes she isn't fighter material and dedicates herself to becoming a Professor by contributing to expand the magical knowledge of the Kingdom. She is also determined to have a family of her own, so between her research and her social life she has little free time. She dates a man named Anathor Voross, a minor noble and Assistant Professor at the White Griffon, though worries that he's just trying to take advantage of her family name.

During her time as Assistant Professor, Professor Vastor shows her the records about the Mad King Arthan Griffon, as he laid the foundations for Body Sculpting.

After Lith asks Vastor to help with Zinya's procedure, Quylla contacts Lith berating him for not asking her for help. He agrees and invites her to the team while learning from her that Anathor finally mustered the courage to meet the Ernas' and turns out was just nervous. Quylla also asks Lith to teach her how to make holograms. The three Healers successfully carry out the procedure.

#### Odi City of Kulah

Quylla joins the expedition to the Laroxya Duchy crystal mines to investigate the Odi ruins as Professor Phesta's assistant, reuniting with Lith and Phloria as well as meeting Ranger Morok Eari. Morok attempts to flirt with her but is quickly shot down after he mistakes Phloria for a male. Lith gives Quylla and Phloria his prototype Orichalcum Skinwalker armors. Quylla laments her uselessness in combat as the expedition experiences attacks from an Eldritch Abomination and later a swarm of magical beasts. However, her knowledge of the Odi proves instrumental in deciphering the arrays on the city entrance doors, allowing the party to proceed.

They are beset by a fungal creature made of countless tiny spores. Professor Syndra's assistant Calil foolishly uses a fire spell, detonating the spores and infecting most of the expedition members. In desperation Quylla riskily uses first magic to protect the area around them at great burden to her vitality. Lith manages to save her, though several assistants and Professors succumb to their the wounds. The following day, Quylla is assigned with the remaining soldiers to protect the Assistants and the camp's barriers. When Morok's group accidentally triggers the general alarm and leads four prototype Flesh Golems back to the camp, Quylla salvages the battle by regenerating the moss in Kulah that provides them with enough oxygen to fight.

The subsequent situation sees Quylla being sidelined due to her lack of combat experience and skill. She and Professor Yondra's assistant Rainer Lomann share a brief moment where they reflect on their helplessness to protect those they care about. She had refused to learn offensive spells after Nalear, but begins doing so after seeing Lith and Phloria risk their lives.

Quylla reveals she knows about Lith's cracked life force and that she had joined the expedition to help solve Lith's problem. The expedition accesses the underground facility using the elevator in the headquarters building, inadvertently awakening the remaining Odi from their slumber deep underground. The world energy from the mana geyser powering the city is converted into a black miasma that devours all living life in the city and the crystal mine tunnels, forcing the Assistants and soldiers left in the camp to Warp into the elevator with the rest of the expedition.

The Odi lure the expedition to the Living Quarters where a small army of complete Flesh Golems capture the Assistants and Phloria's soldiers. Quylla and Lith use their Healing knowledge to destroy several constructs before they retreat. Quylla identifies the Mana Reactor as the Odi's successful method of extracting, purifying, and storing mana from other living beings. The Odi conduct another ambush, capturing Professors Yondra, Ellkas, and Gaakhu, though Professor Neshal destroys three golems before collapsing. After the remaining party recover, they explore the corridors for a way to the lower floors. The Golems attack again, and Neshal is killed before the others can save her. Phloria and Quylla and are separated from Lith and Morok.

The sisters infiltrate the prison, destroying the Golem guard and freeing the Assistants. One of the Odi, Jiira, appears and easily captures them both. Lith manages to infiltrate the Body-Swapping room where the prisoners are kept and frees the prisoners except for Phloria, who is tied to the operating table.

He gives Quylla the book on the Mana Reactor he retrieved beforehand and directs her to Morok to destroy it while he keeps Jiira occupied. They make their way to a room covered in dimensional runes on the upper floor of the Mana Reactor. Quylla attempts to use her Forgemastering spell to decipher the runes but is hit by the force of the countless souls' suffering in the Reactor and passes out.

After recovering, she berates Morok for mindlessly trying to destroy the Reactor, afraid it would release a massive conflagration that would kill everyone. She identifies how to open the Reactor's hatch and suggests using the remaining Flesh Golems as remote bombs. She locates and disables them by taking off her armor leaving her in her underwear, forcing the Golems into inaction as they couldn't subdue her without harming her due to the Odi’s order to capture her alive. She detonates them inside the Reactor, breaking the balance between the world energy, elemental forces, and pure mana, and thus preventing any new mana from being produced. The world energy is freed and a silver pillar of light descends from the sky onto Lith as he undergoes his fourth world tribulation.

Quylla makes her way back down to the Body-Swapping room where she witnesses Lith's evolved Hybrid Form fighting Rizo. She and Phloria assist Lith where they can, and Quylla manages to disable the God's Will Array, leaving Lith free to kill the rest of the Odi until the Mana Reactor is drained of mana, ending the race for good. Quylla stabilizes Lith's condition and the two fall unconscious with Phloria and Morok standing guard. The remaining expedition return home and Lith recuperates at the Ernas mansion with Quylla watching over him.

Lith reveals his two life forces to Quylla, and she reveals that she can also hear life forces like Manohar. The three Ernas sisters reunite with Lith and they plan a vacation. Phloria, Quylla, and Lith give a doctored report of the events to Constable Tyris Griffon. Quylla confronts Phloria about her insecurities about Lith, but Phloria rebukes her, reminding her of all Lith had done for them.

#### Laruel

Quylla attends Yondra Mefaal's funeral at the Black Griffon along with Phloria and Lith. She embarks on a vacation with her sisters and Lith to the Rothar caves near the city of Javvok. They encounter plant-infected bugbears and are ambushed by a group of malnourished undead from the Jiera Continent. Later, the group is brought to the plantfolk city-state of Laruel by Headmaster Duke Marth where he requests Quylla's help in curing the undead plague that threatens the Garlen Continent due to her expertise in plant physiology, and Quylla accepts.

Phloria and Quylla meet Kalla again, learning of her human form and Emperor Beasts' ability to shapeshift. Empress Milea Genys identifies the tissue as infecting the wildlife as belonging to an undead plant (later found to be Erlik the Draugr Treant) and Kalla decides to pursue the energy energy signature, with Lith, Friya, and Phloria in tow. Quylla remains at the lab, trying to find a way to separate a host from its parasite without killing them both to no avail.

The group meets Leannan the Titania, ruler of Laruel and emissary of the World Sapling. Quylla uses her own version of Scanner tailored to plants and manages to perceive the Sapling's energy signature when examining the infected tree-house as well as a mass of darkness energy which turns out to bearing Erlik's willpower. Leannan identifies Erlik's end goal of using the mold to establish a link with and take over the Sapling. Unable to locate Erlik's hideout without merging with the treehouse and alerting Erlik, Leannan asks Lith's group to hunt him down.

After many trials, Marth and Quylla manage to create a cure. By merging two infected plantfolk together, they use the nature of the Draugr's greed against itself when the two symbiotes fight to possess the stronger host, curing the infection.

Lith requests Marth, Quylla, and Vastor's help in curing Rena's unborn triplet that has the Strangler, but they are unable to without harming Rena and concede. Lith brings Quylla to see Faluel the Hydraasking for her help, and the three Healers along with Nalrond successfully cure the child.

#### Feymar Crystal Mines

Quylla accompanies Phloria with Friya and her Crystal Shield Guild on an expedition to the Feymar crystal mines. While inside, she uncovers an undead ambush and manages to learn Mage Slayers' weaknesses, allowing Friya and Phloria to fend off the undead. After the army sends reinforcements, the Ernas sisters venture into the hidden passage Quylla had found. They find a large cavern surrounded by high tier crystals, where they are ambushed by a large group of undead. Morok arrives in time with Nandi, who brings them to Baba Yaga's mage tower hut. Baba Yaga extends an offer to join her in her research, but they decline and are rescued by Protector who Warps them to Solus' tower where they meet Solus.

Lith then goes on to explain what being an Awakened means and introduces Solus to them. He helps Phloria successfully Awaken and invites Phloria to study under Faluel with him, to which Friya and Quylla also ask to join, the latter displaying her ability to create holograms after studying communication amulets.

### Awakened Academy

Quylla resigns as Assistant Professor and convinces Faluel to teach her on the condition she gives the Hydra full access to her Grimoire and surrenders any new discoveries she makes. They learn about Guardians, shapeshifting, and Spirit Magic. Quylla demonstrates basic Spirit Magic using her Royal Forgemastering wand and becomes eager to study and discover runes for Spirit casting, a field of magic where no other mage has set foot.

Jirni sends Morok to Faluel's lair with the promise of their first date, hoping she can use him to overcome her trauma with relationships. After he expresses his sincerity, Quylla agrees to set up a future date. The students proceed to learn the basics of Awakened Runesmithing. Quylla, due to her weak physique, is given separate physical training. Lith and the Ernas are summoned to testify what happened in the Feymar crystal mines. Quylla demonstrates her self-discovered ability to conjure holograms, impressing the Royals.

Quylla becomes determined to learn true magic after Faluel's lessons about the differences between fake, true, and Awakened magic. She starts researching how to project mana from her core at will after the lessons about Spirit Magic, to try and use her wand to mix her mana with the other elements like Awakened do. Faluel's physical training allows her to reinforce her body enough to wield much more energy than before, but she fails to solve the main issue of her plan.

Quylla seeks Phloria and Friya for advice for her upcoming date with Morok. The date proceeds relatively well with her finding Morok's honesty and lack of ulterior motives refreshing. However, news of Night's attack on Lutia cuts their date short, and Morok brings Quylla to the local Mage Association branch for her safety before leaving to find his Drake master Ajatar.

#### Fringe

While Lith, Tista, and Phloria venture to the Jiera continent on Council duty, Nalrond decides to bring Quylla and Friya to his people's Fringe in the Blood Desert in a gesture of faith. Morok tags along to "protect" Quylla from Nalrond. Upon passing through into the Fringe, Quylla is nearly overcome by the guilt of killing Yurial and Friya the weight of her failures in life, both attempting to commit suicide after the brief exposure to Mogar's will.

The group meet and are treated as guests by the Dewan werefolk tribe whose Fringe has merged with the Rezar's, though the group maintains a wary distance. Quylla helps improve the Rezar's communication ritual's magic circles to better protect Nalrond and asks him to seek a solution to Lith's cracked life force. The attempt goes awry when Nalrond sustains heavy injuries from the answers' shades, and they contact Solus on Jiera who offers her insight.

Friya, Quylla, and Morok practice their spells with Mogar's feedback while waiting for Nalrond's recovery. Quylla decides to learn magic from scratch, starting from first magic and working her way up to the second tier of spells for every element. She manages to cast up to Tier 2 true magic spells, though Tier 3 remains out of her reach due to feeling pain every time she attempts it.

Nalrond learns from Morok's attempt before entering the mindscape again. Quylla theorizes that the werefolk's beast halves have been trapped all this time by their makers. The group decides to leave the Fringe, when they are confronted by hostile Dewans and elves. Morok manages to escape the Fringe while Nalrond, Friya, and Quylla defend against the elves. Quylla casts true magic for the first time. Morok manages to wipe out the backup squadron outside with his Tyrannical Eye and regroups with Friya before returning to distract Elf Lord M'rael long enough for them all to escape. They contact Faluel who helps them Warp away.

They share their experience with Lith after he returns from Jiera, Quylla revealing she is the first human true mage and also dabbles in Light Mastery now. Lith's reveal of his Abomination origin unsettles Quylla, though she becomes becomes convinced after Friya reminds her of all he had done for them. Upon hearing of Orpal's return with Kamila’s parents coupled with news of Trion's death, the group deliberates whether the two events have any relation.

#### Balkor Copycat

After the Ernas and many other of Lith's allies are sent cards by a Balkor copycat, Jirni forbids the Ernas sisters from leaving the house to ensure their safety, only allowed to attend their apprenticeship through Warp Gate. Lith consults Quylla about his violet core theories. After he explains fusion magic to her, he gains insight after realizing the link between fusion magic and vortexes. Likewise, Quylla resolves to learn fusion magic to temper her body in order to withstand the Awakening process.

Faluel’s Awakened academy resumes, and Kalla visits with her children and Scarlett as a guest lecturer. She tells them about the nature of undead and the difference between Baba Yaga's children and Liches. Nyka tries to familiarize herself with the others, with Nok as her wingman. After hearing that a Warp Gate is being constructed inside the Verhen's barn, Nyka, Solus, and Tista start planning their new social life, and the Ernas sisters eventually join in after seeing how much Tista trusts Nyka, despite their initial misgivings about the Vampire.

Faluel introduces the basics of Spirit Mastery and has them practice enhancing and manifesting elemental aspects in pure mana. Quylla practices with enhancing the light element due to her affinity. After grieving her son Sedra's death, Faluel resumes the academy and teaches them gravity fusion. Quylla studies the others and learns to manifest the fire element of Fusion magic. She masters the water rune and the Ernas sisters celebrate Lith's 19th birthday by bringing raw metals and crystals.

At the Royal Gala, Quylla attempts to cheer Lith up from his slump, encouraging him to allow himself to be happy rather than be hindered by his past. After reflecting on his past actions, Lith admits his shortcomings and begins making up with Tista and the Ernas sisters. At the end of the gala, unbeknownst to everyone else Jirni traps the Ernas sisters in stasis pods and replaces them with meat puppets she developed with Balkor, Vastor, and Manohar. Vastor engineers the meat puppets to be more emotional at Jirni's instruction to leave an opening for Deirus' assassins, leading Quylla to insist on visiting the Gardens of Saefel. Quylla's puppet is suddenly killed by an assassin named Tiennon Zavra, one of the Lost Magi hired by Deirus.

Jirni subsequently eliminates Deirus with the help of her allied gods. Orion asks for a divorce and the Ernas sisters demand Jirni leave the house for her deception. Tista evolves into a Red Demon as a result of relentlessly practicing Accumulation after "Quylla"'s death. Morok rushes to Faluel's lair after hearing news that Quylla is alive and learns of Jirni's deception. She declines his marriage proposal but accepts to go on a second date. In the following weeks, Quylla is confined at home despite her protests. She acquiesces when she sees how much pain Orion is in at Jirni's betrayal.

With Morok forced into hiding from his estranged father Glemos after his Awakening, Faluel sends Protector, Quylla, and Nalrond on a mission with Morok to help Ajatar the Drake lure out Glemos. The group is assigned to subjugate monster tribes in the Weghan region, where they encounter mutated monsters wearing collars around their necks and a deep cave system. Morok accidentally reveals he Awakened, though Quylla misinterprets it as her fault much to Morok's guilt.

The group realizes the collars and the rich world energy of the geyser have enabled the monsters to revert to their pre-Fallen forms. They witness a reverted Balor named Rhona leading other Balors in using their eyes to artificially germinate and grow mana crystals. Rhona inadvertently reveals the group's presence. After a prolonged battle, the monsters are killed. Morok alerts Ajatar and the group continues exploring the cave. The group comes across a room filled with Harmonizer-wearing test subjects, and interrogates a survivor to learn that the mastermind is posing as Ajatar. They escape a capture attempt thanks to Quylla's Home Stone, though Morok inadvertently reveals having Awakened to avenge her.

## Relationships

During her time as an Assistant Professor, Quylla struggled to make friends as the field of magical research was very competitive and even inside her own team, everyone only looked after themselves. To make matters worse, her talent often made others jealous. Male Mages in her same field avoided Quylla like a plague while nobles only sought her to become magical bloodlines and for the power that being close with the Ernas household would provide them. This leads her to become interested in Morok Eari, who didn't seem to care about her being a better mage or even having a better mana core.

## Achievements

* Developed the **Injection** spell to inject potions and tonics straight into a patient's bloodstream, allowing the healing of many wounds simultaneously, which she traded to Faluel.
