Andraste

*"I am Andraste, acolyte of the Great Old One known as Valserion, and I vow to destroy anything that stands in the way of my great Master."*
— Andraste
**Andraste** (アンドラステAndorasute), also known as *Moon Maiden*, is one of Valserion two acolytes and one of his only NPC's. She is regarded as Etain's older sister.

## Appearance

An impeccable beauty, Andraste is a woman with lustrous jet-black hair and the face of a goddess. She has blue irises and vertically split pupils, she has two fox like black ears and at the end of her spine are nine black tails.
She is praised for being one of the most beautiful beings to exist, it is said that she has brought many warriors down to their knees with her beauty alone.

When in her original form she goes from standing at 184cm to a 190cm tall nine tailed fox with blue flames of mana leaking out at the end of each of her tails.

## Personality

Andraste is an exuberant young woman (biologically young) who is very proud of role as an acolyte of Valserion as well as a NPC of Elysium. Andraste has a calm, reserved, yet mocking personality, she also expresses boredom and sarcasm when faced with challenges, showing off her rather apathetic side. The only times when she actually shows getting mad is whenever someone insults her lord and master in anyway.

Andraste act really cold toward anyone she deems beneath her, and will usually only show her true self in front of her lord, Valserion, and her "younger sister" Etain. She is, similar to Etain, greatly in love with their master but what differs is that she is much more open about it, showing her affection whenever she can without feeling embarrassed, but will always "melt" whenever Valserion answer her affection.

Valserion designed Andraste to be relatively opposite to Etain, personality vise, the former being calm, smart and open with her love, while the latter being brash, stubborn, hot headed and feel embarrassed about being helplessly in love with Valserion.

## Background

Andraste and her sister, Etain, were created by Valserion. As an acolyte of Valserion, her top priorities is to be there for him whenever needed and protect him with her life.

Andraste's was created from Valserion love for Japanese mythology, as well as samurais and the like.

### Flavor Text

An ancient fox spirit, Kitsune, that wandered the plane of the living for centuries that one day by chance met her Lord and master Valserion when he was out adventuring in the Nine World of Yggdrasil. The moment her eyes met with his, she instantly fell in love and knew she wanted to spend the rest of her semi-immortal life with that man. Luckily enough for her, her lord had an absent place for an acolyte and offered her the position to her in exchange of absolute loyalty, she gladly accepted the role.

An impeccable beauty with flowing raven hair and deep blue eyes that men, as well as women, would kill to get gazed at by. Her beauty is said to be that of a goddess, perfection embodied, able to make entire nations kneel with her looks alone.

Regardless of how brilliant or brave her foes are, or whether she considers them strong, she will never acknowledge them as being equal to herself.
This is because she understands the meaning of the position bestowed upon her.
Her abilities befit the title of Acolyte of Valserion, with outstanding intelligence and combat ability.
With a calm, reserved and mocking personality she rarely shows her emotions, acting cold to almost everyone.

She is utterly devoted to her lord, willing to do anything for him without a second thought, not because she respect him or fear his power, but because she is utterly and helplessly in love with him. She do not try to hide her love, instead she fully embraces it. Whenever she is alone in the same room as her lord the cold exterior almost completely vanishes, only showing her warmer side to him and her younger sister.

## Abilities and Powers

She was designed to act as Valserion's vanguard, tanking and sucking up damage in the front while he threw spells from the back.
Andraste possesses the very powerful *Inari* racial class that greatly strengthen all of her *Shinto Gods* based abilities.

Andraste possesses a small arsenal of different spells, most of them either being for buffing herself/allies or to counter magic casters. The reason she barely have any spells, outside of her being mainly a fighter, is that her class tree grant her several magic like skills. An instinctive trait of the Kitsune and Inari racial classes is that they have access to "Fox Fire", a powerful bluish-white flame that behave like a fire but in actuality deals frost damage. Andraste is able to freely manipulate this flame in conjunction with her other skills and attacks.
