Breeze

For History see Alyss Nightcrest/History

**Breeze** (formerly **Alyss Nightcrest**, Countess of Ioae) is a Dusk Elf who has aquamarine dyed hair and is highly skilled in combat, especially Archery. As is elaborated later on, Breeze, along with Brio (Ezael Stormblood), was physically enhanced using a rune chamber. Breeze made her first appearance in 8-Bit Warrior Book 2, and she is now the secondary character. When she heard she was going to Aetheria City, she was not thrilled. She made an alliance with the Lost Legion after forgiving Kolbert for attempting to force her and her friends to clean house. Despite having revealed her true identity in WV16/8BW6, Breeze still remains a mysterious character and still seems to be hiding other secrets. It is revealed in NK?/8BK1 that she has a diary.

## Capabilities

Having lived as a minor noble in her childhood, she has received excellent guidance as a child. Her survival skills, such as combat, were further enhanced due to the pursuit of the Eyeless's minions after the destructions of Ioae. During this time, her inborn abilities were revealed as well.

Despite being a Dusk Elf, her fishing skill is rather low, not even being able to get the reel out before being taught by Runt. Her farming skill is even higher than her combat skill.

## Backstory

Alyss was born in Ioae, the Capital of the Dusk Elves. Her biological father (Lord Nightcrest) was killed in a duel with an underlord. In Ioae, the king had requested them to learn ancient knowledge. This led to Herobrine burning her city to the ground because he saw this as a threat.

After these events, the Dusk Elves would build their city Shadowbrook, in which she grew up. This would only be a short respite, as the village was destroyed by Nethermancers under the Herobrine's service. She and Brio (otherwise known as Ezael), her bodyguard and adoptive father, the two survivors, were captured and locked in a hidden dungeon for experimentation using a rune chamber and perhaps other methods as well.

As a result of this thorough modification, her physical capabilities expanded immensely. She later escaped with Brio and fled. They were chased by Herobrine's minions, such as ghosts and pigmen. When they came across Villagetown, they disguised themselves as villagers to try to fit in, using a Disguise Ⅱ Potion (of the villager variant).

## Appearance

Breeze is depicted as having aquamarine hair (dyed; her original hair color is unknown but it may be brown), along with purple eyes (from Herobrine’s rune chamber). She is shown to have light brown skin in her villager disguise form. When she is in her normal form, she has the same hair color and purple eyes as her villager form, with some noticeable differences: lighter skin tone (pale), and her face being more slender (as described by Runt). Note that in this case, "slender" is used as a reference to being more square than villager's normally rectangular face instead of more common uses in English (Commonscript).

As a dusk elf, she has unusually thick hair (difficult to dye, according to the village transmogrist), nails that possess a slight iridescence in sunlight, along with eyebrows that are notably longer than a human's (although nowhere near as long as a faerie's).

## Personality

When Breeze first made her appearance, she was described as shy and was said to be a stalker. However, when she revealed her actual ability to fight, she became less "creepy" since she could openly be around Runt without needing to stalk him, but continued to be shy, since she felt out of place. She has also been described as “withdrawn” by Runt, mostly due to the immense amount of trauma she has been through. When Lola Became Runt's friend, she became jealous, showing that she does have a dark side. She has also shown courage, even when fighting forces equal or more powerful than herself, as with taking on Boss Urf (Nethersoul, the Tomb of the Forgotten King boss, soulshifted by Urf), even though her plan could have gone wrong in many ways. Having spent time with Runt, she has developed a sense of humor. Though she still rarely smiles, she does appear to be lightening up. She is also empathetic, as seen when she let Eeebs live in her house.

She is the only Academy trainee with what could be called a professional level of archery experience and shocks instructors when filling one-third of her quiver with grass. This is a trick that reduces the rattling sound arrows make when running or moving.

Despite her skill with a bow, she begins initial training as a Rogue and mostly attends Rogue-related courses in the Academy.

## Character Arc

### Diary of an 8-bit Warrior: From Seeds to Swords:

When she is first shown in Diary of an 8-bit Warrior: From Seeds to Swords, Breeze is shown to not show any emotions externally, being "all buisness". Lore-wise, this makes sense, she has been through more than any other character in the series.

When Breeze first interacts with Runt, it seems to only be because her father instructed her to. However, she soon eventually comes to care for Runt, seeing him as a friend. By Diary of an 8-bit Warrior: Crafting Alliances, she is considered to be a member of "Team Runt", along with Stump, Max, Emerald and Runt.

### Diary of an 8-bit Warrior: Crafting Alliances

After spending more time with Runt, Breeze is seen being more upbeat, experimental in things she does, and more socialable, hanging out with the group. She seems to start to enjoy life a little bit more.

### Diary of an 8-bit Warrior: Path of The Diamond

In Diary of an 8-bit Warrior: Path of The Diamond, another side of her personality and character is shown: her jealousy. With Runt spending a greater amount of time with Lola to make sure that either he or Breeze graduates in the top 5, Breeze becomes envious of the time they spend together. Externally, she begins to seem more gloomy and dispirited, especially after failing several tests in a row.

### Diary of an 8-bit Warrior: Quest Mode.

After graduating in the top 5 and becoming a co-captain with Runt, Breeze begins to become more lighthearted again. After Runt leaves to obtain the Aeon Forge, and we as the readers only get to see her via Eeebs' diary, it is shown that she still cares for him, and misses him deeply, as shown in a diary entry which Eeebs comments upon (Dear Diary, I miss him).

After being informed that Runt isn't being punished for "the paper", and has set off to obtain an Aeon forge, she bolts off after him, and manages to arrive at Owl's reach only a few hours after Runt. Here, she saves him from a horde of The Eyeless One's servants (zombie pigman with obsidian swords) and shows yet another side of her character, that being the intense rage that comes when those she cares about are in danger.
