Syndicate Dawn

Elora, one of the Watchers. She is the apprentice to Syndicate Blizzard.

## General Information

### Personality

Elora doesn't like problems or speaking up, Generally insecure, shy, and conforming - would rather just blend in and disappear than fight and stand her ground. Also a deviant in her interests.
She had a silver cat for a pet.

### Abilities

Pre-Shift: She is the Syndicate that uses and confides in past Syndicates the most. She can channel previous ones and use their powers, getting better at wielding them herself.

After the Shift, where the connection between her and the previous Syndicates are severed, she realizes "her" powers haven't been hers, she was just "*using others' skills*".

Throughout that portion of the story, she slowly unlocks various pieces of the previous Syndicates, allowing her to master what is her own power. - This culminates in the final battle, where she is able to bring back and wield various weapons and pieces of CS history.

## History

Had a fairly long relationship with Monika Milnnac, Elora's nickname for her was "Lumi".

…

Elora met Andrea (Watcher Rook) during a class where Andrea was being bullied by others. Afterwards, Elora tried to console and befriend her.

…

During school one day, she and Andrea were walking down the hall when a messy-haired boy ran down and crashed into Andrea, due being chased by a few beefier guys. The boy stands up, stumbles, grins and apologizes before continuing to run, vaulting out a window.

…

Eventually meets and befriends the boy.

…

Elora, Andrea, and Catalyst also co-authors a small notebook of recipes, as they tend to go hungry from the boarding school food. Along with that, they try to add their own flair.

### Recruitment into the Watchers

During a community service detention, the three of them go off and find and augmented dead body. They hide, and a shady man comes out to retrieve it. Catalyst sprints out and shouts "Oh boy, it's a dead body!". This gives away their location. The shady man tries to kill the three, but is interrupted by Watcher Wrath on his operation.

Andrea grabs Elora's arm and sprints away, Catalyst kicks the shady figure pinned under W. Wrath a few times , shouting to the girls that he'll be right behind them. Two heavily armored guards appear, forcing W. Wrath to grab Catalyst and retreat to a safe location. The shady figure leave with the dead body, telling the armored guards to take it to the lab quickly.

...

Catalyst and W. Wrath meet up with Elora and Andrea, and the four of them run into S. Blizzard and W. Dragonbreath. W. Dragonbreath smacks W. Wrath for running off. S. Blizzard takes Elora as an apprentice, and also decide that Andrea and Catalyst have potential. She takes them all to make them into apprentices, introducing Andrea and Catalyst to W. Spire and W. Proxy respectively.

### Joining the Watchers

Shortly after joining the Watchers, Elora reveals this to Monika, and they break up.

...

S. Blizzard acts as a motherly figure for Elora, teaching her how to cook a few dishes and some other skills. Occasionally teases Elora about how "she sometimes looks at Catalyst and Wrath".

One of their favorite bonding memories is when S. Blizzard creates snow for Elora to play in, giving her a childhood that she never really had. Elora treats S. Blizzard like a mother, and vise versa - treating Elora like her own daughter.

...

She often beats herself up mentally due to her insecurities, and S. Blizzard addresses this multiple times during her apprenticeship. She attempts to get her to come out of her shell and to be more assertive.

...

Eventually, she does get a lot more confident and dominant, although she still doesn't see the reason to assert her powers over small insignificant issues. Elora also tends to make light of larger issues.

### Becoming Syndicate Dawn

After becoming a Syndicate, she uses her connection with the previous Syndicates for advice and guidance the most. Through this constant communication, it allows her to learn the styles of the previous Syndicates, both combatively and logically. However, she still isn't the best at using the Syndicate's power, and especially struggles to use it under stress.

...

Notably, during a free-for-all sparring session, she calls for assistance. S. Blizzard says something along the lines of "I can't help you all the time honey, I know you can do it." The other Syndicates agree. S. Dawn gets her ass kicked.

### After the Shift

She is a lot more confident in her leadership skills to lead the Watchers and also her powers. However, after realizing the Shift terminated her direct communication and connection to the previous Syndicates, she breaks down.

...

She cries alone in her room, refusing to come out for a few days except for food, sulking.

...

W. Catalyst breaks down the door, demands her to open up and talk. After she refuses, he straight up smacks her a few times and confronts her.

After voicing some more insecurities and anxiety, she makes an agreement with him. She'll give the commands, and if the other Watchers question her authority or outright refuse to comply (W. Abyss), then W. Catalyst would go and muscle them into complying.

...

Eventually develops a mostly-platonic/slightly-romantic relationship to W. Catalyst, due to his deep questioning of her, yet unmatched loyalty.

### Watcher Faction

After the Shift, it was decided that the Watchers needed to be expanded into an actual faction tasked with extracting back Paracosm's power.

Elora based the design of the Watcher Faction Base off of the ruined Watcher Faction Base Alpha.

She also forms Shade Corp., the special ops. division of Watcher Faction. Interestingly, a number of the higher ranked members of Shade Corp. are descendants of members of Azimirov.

Andrea gifted The Changemaker to Elora, originally from the Base Alpha, then Krayplane, and finally fabricated from Shade Corp.

One of Shade Corp. Operations Elora put into play was Operation: Amelioration, based on systematic self improvement. She kept a notebook documenting her thoughts and notes on her studies.
