Elise Angel

**Elise Angel** is one of the characters of **Assassins Pride**. She is the cousin of Melida Angel and is currently the most skilled user of mana within the St. Friedeswiedes Academy for Girls.

## Appearance

Elise is a petite young girl with short, chin length light blue hair with buns on the side of her head. She has bright blue eyes and often showcases an expressionless face.

## Personality

Elise is a shy individual, and this becomes more prominent when Melida Angel is present. This is mainly due to the embarrassment Melida regularly receives when around Elise, as Melida cannot wield mana, and should be the more powerful of the pair (as she is from the main family) and Elise is from the branch family.

When fighting against others, as seen in the first intra-school tournament in the anime series, Elise appears to be dauntless and shows confidence whilst manipulating mana but in reality, she gets scared easily particularly against Lancanthrope.

She openly states that she prefers to be second-best and would rather not be in the spotlight for her strength, however she admits that she will not hesitate to rise to the occasion when it means showcasing her power against others.

## History

Elise Angel is a daughter of the branch family of the Angel aristocratic house. She refers to her cousin Melida Angel as "Lita", and often refers to the desire to see her as her older sister always. Elise awakened her ability to manipulate mana at a young age (as expected of nobles) and wields the Holy Knight Paladin class, despite being from the branch family of the House of Angel. All her life, Elise has been told that she would be the leader of all nobles and become the beacon of light for all to see. However, she doesn't understand this, because Elise prefers to be a follower rather than a leader.

## Relationships

### Rosetti Pricket

Rosetti is Elise's personal private tutor. Much like Melida, Elise seems to also have a teacher of her own to train her. The two seem to get along well, besides the fact that Rosetti is the cheerful one whereas Elise is the more pragmatic of the pair. At first, Rosetti is unsure whether she makes a good tutor for Elise or not, thinking that she will make Elise like her, not able to properly contribute to a team. Rosetti is worried Elise would become too isolated from others. Later, after Melida and Elise were rescued from Williams Gin, Rosetti and Elise embrace, showing affection between the teacher and student.

### Melida Angel

Elise adores her cousin whom she calling her "Lita" while Melida refers her as "Elli". They had a strong sister-like bond since childhood. Over the years, as Elise awakened her mana to become a powerful Paladin, Melida's mana would not. Controversy began when society started calling Melida "incompetent talentless girl." Melida started distancing herself away from Elise, because if the two were together, it would bring shame upon the Angel name, as Melida and Elise had different ranks and yet there was so much difference between them.

However, Elise is reluctant to truly embrace Melida and their differences as it would mean formally acknowledging that Melida is the weaker of the two and thus not truly equal to her.

They later rekindle their bond after their fight during the Lunar Lumiere selection when Melida defeats Elise in combat, using technique rather than sheer brute strength.

Elise later forms a unit with Melida upon the latter's request. It's noticeable that Elise and Melida are much happier now, being together. Their time apart for a span of many years has affected them greatly.

### Kufa Vampir

Melida's tutor. Elise thanks him for being the reason she and Melida have been talking more and more with each other. However, when the two danced at Circlet Night, she tells Kufa that he is mainly the topic that Melida is fond about talking. After then, she regards him as a rival for Melida's affection. She even called him the devil at one point when he trained them in the novel volume 4.

### Mrs. Othello

Mrs. Othello is the head maid of Elise's mansion. Despite Mrs. Othello's position as only a maid, Othello is often deciding many things for Elise. Othello goes out of her way to make it clear that Elise is the real successor, going through great lengths to even sabotage the stained glass art. She often forces Elise to train and train, in doing so, puts a lot of pressure on the young Angel. At one point of the novel, Elise states that she only trains to avoid being scolded.

After her fight with Melida in the Luna Lumiere tournament, Elise is told that she can make her own decisions, and not have someone else make them for her. After this, Elise rebels against Othello's grip and appears to be, much, happier than before.
