Edel

**Edel** is a Void like being created by Sammael and Moloch in the form of a girl around ten years old to spy on and gather information on Salem in GrimmFall: Remnants of Evil.

## Appearance

Edel resembles a little girl with pale skin, dark chin length hair, black eyes and wears a simple cotton white dress slightly torn at the bottom. She is barefoot.

## Personality

As a Void Edel has little to no personality, lacking normal emotions that unnerves even beings like Cinder, Watts and Tyrian. She shows no fear in the presence of even Salem and is extremely docile as she followed Sammael’s orders to spy on Salem without question and follows direction from Salem and Hazel silently.

## History

Edel was once one of the lost children to be turned into a tree of Edelwood by Moloch. During that time her original persona eroded, leaving her a blank state. Sammael decided he needed an informant to infiltrate Salem’s cabal and thus selected one of the lost children, recreating them as a Void like being which led to Edel’s birth (technical rebirth.) She was ordered to seek out Salem and did so without question, reaching her base of operations. There she killed three bandits in self defence and rebuffed Tyrian and Cinder’s attempts to kill her and take her powers. Salem ordered Edel brought to her, seeking to understand her strange power and decided to keep an eye on her for the time being.

## Powers and Abilities

Edel was created from the remains of a girl who was turned into an Edelwood tree. According to Sammael her new nature prevents her from sensed by all other beings aside from sight and she cannot be seen even by the Grimm due to her lack of emotional presence. She can create a barrier to block and reflect attacks as she demonstrated when she killed two bandits who shot at her. She can also steal their Aura and life force as shown when she killed a third bandit who attempted to cut her head off.

Salem discovered that she can subtly steal the life force of everything around her, making her dangerous to anyone but Salem herself.

## Weapon

Edel carries a black pearl that can act as a Seer, reflect attacks and steal Aura from anyone who attacks her.

## Relationships

**Sammael -** Edel was created by Sammael to gather information on Salem and her group. Edel followed Sammael’s order to seek out Salem without question.

**Moloch -** The Beast of Eternal Darkness was the one who turned Edel’s original self into an Edelwood tree and he was the one to release her.

**Salem -** Upon seeing Edel and the power she possessed Salem decided to keep Edel close to keep an eye on her and see her magical powers.

**Cinder Fall -** Cinder tried to steal Edel’s powers upon meeting her and was almost killed, leaving her with a slight grudge. She is unnerved by Edel’s nature.

**Arthur Watts -** The scientist scanned Edel and saw none of her organs were functional which was impossible for her to be alive.

**Tyrian Callows -** The psychotic scorpion Faunus tried to kill Edel when they first met but Edel easily rebuffed him. He is unnerved by her nature and is easily angered by the fact Edel does not fear him or Salem. Upon learning Edel can steal the life force of everyone around her Tyrian opted to kill her, not considering her human, let alone a girl only for Salem to deny him.

**Hazel Rainhart -** Hazel intervened when Edel nearly killed Cinder and directed her to Salem. The giant is as unnerved by Edel’s nature as everyone else, wondering if she is even a child despite looking like one.
