Harbellen

Harbellen in Wisher World: Call to Action

## Summary

Harbellen is sickly woman living in a remote forest village near the Dead Corner of the Rhine. She loves yet envies her husband and leader of her village, for his strength. Harbellen is the main antagonist in the short story Wisher World: Call to Action.

## Appearance

Harbellen is a very tall woman who starts out the story with a skinny, frail body. After her wish is granted to receive the Rhine's strength, her body morphs into becoming very muscular.

Harbellen has large slightly downturned royal blue eyes with long blonde lashes. She has a prominent round forehead, large, rounded ears, a small chin, and a small blunt tipped nose. Harbellen's skin is very pale and almost porcelain in color. Her wavy light blonde hair is twisted into two large braids against her head with a part down the middle. Two spikes of hair stand up revealing her widow's peak. Two thin hair strands hang down her forehead.

Her attire consist of a long green dress with a simple pattern and a light blue turtleneck. Underneath are Harbellen's black tights and simple flat shoes. She wears blue and black diamond patterned arm sleeves. On her head wears a simple white head dress and a head necklace with beads and an orange gem.

## Personality

Harbellen is very loyal and single minded. Having spent her whole life sickly and unable to explore her world, she has become attached and dependent on her one care giver, closest friend, and husband, Rhine. This has left her with little personal agency and power. Harbellen is miserable being physically weak and fragile. She looks up to Rhine and desires his strength both physically and as a person.

Harbellen is capable of acting impulsively on her emotions in dangerous ways when she is pushed to a breaking point. For example, she impulsively left the house during a storm while she was still unwell because she was in a fit of despair. She also jumped to revenge immediately after Rhine's death so that she could take out her anger on Facadia and Vella. Thankfully, Harbellen will eventually return to chasing what is in her heart once she comes back to her senses. Harbellen confidently trusts in Rhine and she wants him to take pride in her because being together makes them happy. Ultimately, this is what Harbellen desires the most.

## Abilities and Skills

Harbellen begins the story with a sickly body and no special abilities. However, after she gains Rhine's strength through a wish, her physical capabilities increase. Harbellen has physical strength that is beyond the average human being. She has the power to knock out a samsonite like Facadia if given the opportunity. She is also durable enough to survive getting smashed through a pillar, only falling unconscious for a brief moment. It's implied both due to Rhine's performance against Facadia and the fact that Facadia did not take her out for good, that Harbellen is stronger than Facadia. Harbellen also has proficient balance and agility. During her fight above the river, she is able to jump from pillar to pillar without falling into the water. In a one on one fight she is a formidable opponent not just because of her power but her focus and coldness. She is persistent and will bounce back from any hit immediately, not giving her opponent much time to turn the tables.

#### Weaknesses

Her weakness is that her actions are driven by strong emotions. Once her feelings settle or her thought process changes, she'll loose or change her resolve. She is not good at multitasking and will become distracted if both her targets split up. Harbellen can only focus on one task at a time.

## Background
