Vylliara Fontaine

**Vylliara Fontaine** is an ancient sorceress, who is also the ancestor of every living member of the Fontaine family currently alive, alongside Sebastien Fontaine. She is a former daedra, and is the distant ancestor of Seth, Sariel, Celestine, Raphael, Samael and Remillia Fontaine, along with Astarael Lightbringer.

## Biography

Vylliara is known to originate from Oblivion, as a Dark Seducer bound from the realms beyond Mundus by the sorcerer Sebastien Fontaine, who was keen to create a perfect bloodline.

Sebastien experimented on Vylliara, using his immense knowledge and magical powers to turn her from daedra to partially human, while allowing her to keep some of her original traits. He then mated with Vylliara to give rise to the Fontaine Bloodline.

Vylliara later died giving birth to their pair of purely human children, Kyaran and his brother, after purging all her daedra aspects as her first 11 children. Vylliara was later laid to rest by Sebastien within a secret crypt, with a force field to protect her body from harm and magical runes within the coffin to keep her body from decaying.

Vylliara was later revived by Sebastien in one of the most twisted rituals ever performed, where he reclaimed the powers of Azura and the Chimer from within the Dunmer themselves, rendering them weakened and sterile. With the powers channeled through the body of Sariel by Remillia, Vylliara was reborn.

## ACA Reloaded

Vylliara does follow her original story, as with the original ACA. Unlike the original, though, Vylliara willingly marries Sebastien after hearing his story and agreeing to have the experiments performed on her
body. She also does not die in childbirth later on, although her first
few children were indeed monstrous.

Via Sebastien's knowledge in enchanting, and with his help, Vylliara created a spiritual echo of herself, bound
to the spiritually blessed land the Fontaine Mansion is built on. Vylliara herself ascended to Aetherius with Sebastien, as a human, using the magicka born of this ascension to perfect the spirit echo.

## Personality and Appearance

### ACA Original

Not much is known about Vylliara's personality, other than the fact she seems to depend on Sebastien, and is quite submissive to him, a throwback to the fact she was originally a bound daedra. Vylliara is a loving and devoted wife, and she will never commit and act against Sebastien, ever.

Vylliara is also rather childish and prone to performing immature acts. She is generally happy with her lot and not very demanding at heart. She also exhibits a certain level of innocence that wouldn't normally be exhibited by one of her age, or power. She is talkative and cannot control herself very well. Whether this is her true character, or because her mind regressed while she was dead, it is unknown.

When Vylliara is directly threatened, though, she might show another personality, that is far more terrifying and twisted as her normally pleasant self.

### ACA Reloaded

Vylliara's character traits in ACA reloaded are largely unknown, since she is dead for real. She seems to be not too different from her original self, though, being a kind, caring and generous individual.

### Appearance

Appearance wise, Vylliara has long platinum blonde hair and fair skin, having being transformed into a pure human. She has relatively soft features and does not look very threatening. Her eyes are large and house a pair of ever changing irises. She has a good figure and is very youthful looking.

Vylliara's spirit echo manifests as an ethereal pre-teen girl, with flowing white hair that's twice as long as she's tall, solid blue eyes, with a lighter blue shade to indicate her irises and pupils. The spirit echo wears solid white robes that give off white mists at all time. It also possesses two pairs of black, ethereal wings, and always floats above the ground.

## Powers and Abilities

### ACA Original

Being a former Daedra, and a very powerful one, Vylliara is an extremely accomplished sorceress who has a great mastery over dark forms of magic and many obscure abilities not known to man. She has a complete mastery over standard Dark Magic, and is a very skilled conjurer who can call upon many daedra to her aid. Furthermore, Vylliara has a good understanding of pyrokinesis and she dabbles in shadow magic. Vylliara is further a very powerful healer and illusionist. Vylliara is a weak Alteration mage, though.

Despite being human, Vylliara retains some of her daedric powers, which grants her superhuman senses and reflexes, enabling her to easily detect and counter enemies that attempt to attack her. Vylliara also has greater strength as compared to a human. Furthermore, she can draw magicka from both Oblivion and Aetherius to power her abilities.

Vylliara has a primary mutation as well, which gives her further augmented senses and the ability to detect the flow of magicka within the people around her. She can see when people are going to cast spells at her, and exactly what spells will be cast, allowing her to counter with her own strategies and adjust her counter attacks with the most efficient possible magicka usage. As a side effect, Vylliara cannot be sneaked upon - she can detect any threat, and any magical concealment just makes the threat more visible. When Vylliara closes her eyes, she actually acknowledges this and is far more dangerous to fight when blinded.

Vylliara's secondary mutation allows her to fire darts of raw magicka from her hands, and curve said darts of magicka to strike people. Vylliara can fire a large amount of them in a short time, curve them around wards and make them seek enemies. They also do not cost her any magicka. The darts stick in people, slowing them down and constantly draining their magicka into Vylliara. Vylliara can further send her own magicka into the darts to detonate her opponent's magicka pool. Furthermore, if Vylliara fires enough darts into people, they detonate.

### ACA Reloaded

Vylliara herself has wholly unknown powers, although it is probable she possessed similar powers to ACA's original run. As her descendants record, Vylliara was a sorceress unrivalled in combat magic, due to her origin as a top sorceress from the lands of Oblivion, and she wasn't quite mortal, no matter the alterations done to her body by Sebastien.

Vylliara possessed a pair of eyes that are regarded as the greatest power available to the Fontaines - her right eye allowed Vylliara to notice all attacks and openings an opponent gave, and so she could counter any attack made on her. Vylliara's left eye could freely alter the perception of people she looked at via alteration magic, which had many applications. Vylliara's use of her eyes were so powerful, she could turn reality into an illusion, or illusion into a reality, though a highly advanced and dangerous technique via her left eye.

Vylliara's right eye is inherited in the bloodline of the Fontaines. As such, every male member of the family has a power known as Truth Reader, which is born of Vylliara's blood uniting with that of Sebastien - Truth Reader allows a male Fontaine to read the movements and attacks of his opponents. Also, many female members will possess a nearly perfect form of Vylliara's right eye, an "Eye of Perception" which allows them to see openings and attacks, like the original.

Vylliara's left eye can be awakened by certain female members, although it is limited in usage, and using Vylliara's world bending techniques will blind it permanently.

Vylliara's spirit echo is much weaker than the sorceress, but it still possesses considerable ability. The spirit echo passively has the ability to fly, is immaterial and so cannot be harmed by weapons (not even Fontaine Swords) and is impermeable to magic. The spirit echo can also freely teleport through the Fontaine grounds, rather than walk or fly. It knows everything that happens in the Fontaine mansion.

Vylliara's spirit echo has a completely different purpose from Sebastien's - her spirit echo can divine the future if asked to read Elder Scrolls, and is capable of doing so without much difficulty. It also records everything that happens to each and every Fontaine alive and dead, and knows the Fontaine history with exact precision.

Vylliara's spirit echo also can heal most forms of damage, and dispel all curses, even ones laid down by the daedra themselves. Furthermore, Vylliara 's echo can awaken, or repair a Left Eye of Perception. This allows it to be used once more. Vylliara's echo can also possess any individual, but since it isn't meant to be a defense, but a scribe, its offensive capability is limited.

Like Sebastien's Echo, Vylliara's echo can also cordon off areas of the Fontaine mansion, or block damage, with shields. It can use its own electromagnetic attack, which fires needles of light at the enemy, draining their magicka out of them and crippling them slowly, until their magicka pool goes critical and detonates. This is as far as its limited combat capability goes.

The sole weakness of Vylliara's spirit echo is that is cannot materialize outside the Fontaine Mansion. However, this isn't really a
weakness, since Vylliara's spirit echo is only meant to record the history and exploits of the Fontaine family, and so enable them to continue the exploits. It isn't meant to be summoned or used as an ally in battle.

## Equipment

Besides her dress, which she always wears and never seems to change, Vylliara does not seem to use any other form of equipment, preferring instead to bind it from Oblivion. She is extremely poor at close combat striking, despite having the strength of a daedra, and is generally clumsy with weapons, thus she prefers to avoid them.

Vylliara wears no armor at all and thus is weak to physical damage, despite having a daedra physique that is more resistant to damage than a normal person.
