Nila
Nila is a Dark Elven Wave Rider created as one of Cain's permanent companions. Her elemental control and nautical discipline make her the practical captain of Queen Rose and a leader among the Wave Riders, while advancement to Mythic quality and the Void Shaman class turns her ship-moving magic into long-range void transportation. After Cain ends the companion bond, the two formerly synchronized Nila instances become distinct independent people.
Biography
Wave Rider of the Queen Rose
Nila forms as a Dark Elven Wave Rider when Cain tests a new companion option. She introduces herself with a sailor's bearing and immediately explains that Wave Riders resemble elemental Shamans but trade totems for Elemental summons and paired scimitars. Water is her strongest element, with wind supporting travel and earth providing a weaker reserve. Cain's duplication produces two synchronized Nila bodies from the outset, but during the bonded period they share thought and function as instances of one companion identity rather than sisters with separate experiences. (Chapters 161–162)
Her early campaigns demonstrate how broad that elemental kit is. Nila can form water blades, launch flying edges, create waves and rainfall, shape solid water into usable structures, and call Water Elementals; wind drives sails or becomes cutting force, while Earthquake and Stone Rain remain less developed options. She also translates Elvish and supports formations rather than seeking a solitary duelist's role. The heaviest spells have real resource costs—charging a major effect can consume roughly half her mana—so timing and assistance matter when she changes an entire battlefield. (Chapters 161–162, 186, and 188)
Queen Rose gives Nila a permanent operational responsibility suited to those abilities. She inspects and navigates the ship, manages it while others relax, and insists upon the dignity and protocols of a captain even among friends. By Ancient quality her control of water and wind is strong enough to move an entire fleet, not merely a single vessel. Evangeline's shield can protect Queen Rose's hull, but Nila's navigation and elemental movement remain the means by which the ship and its companions avoid danger and maintain a voyage. (Chapters 202, 360–361, and 390)
Cain and the Fae plan Nila's final companion evolution around that naval role. Once the remaining Fae transformations allow her to reach Legendary naturally, Cain's advancement effects immediately convert her to Mythic quality. She receives the Void Shaman class, gaining transportation magic capable of drawing Queen Rose into the void for extraordinary speed. A voyage expected to take seven days can fall to about two, though a loaded ship consumes so much mana that Nila needs assistants or mana-producing totems to sustain the passage safely. (Chapters 394–395)
Void Shaman and independent ally
Nila's new power enlarges her range without replacing her captain's caution. When Queen Rose is attacked, she defends the vessel decisively but leaves enough attackers identifiable and keeps one alive for interrogation. During the investigation of giant-related threats, she coordinates with other Wave Rider captains and reports to the Council in a deliberately professional tone. She positions the fleet carefully and keeps Mythryll protected below decks, demonstrating that speed and Mythic strength serve an ordered chain of command rather than reckless pursuit. (Chapters 483 and 501–502)
Both synchronized Nila instances remain active with Mythryll aboard Queen Rose and answer Port Nefheim's call during the Mythic monster siege. Cain later releases all permanent companions and summons, preserving them as level-500 Mythic beings while severing the magical bond. For Nila, freedom changes more than legal status: the two bodies can no longer merge memories or communicate directly. They become separate people who share the same history and wife, and the household treats them as twin sisters instead of assigning one the status of original and the other of copy. (Chapters 554–555, 558, and 561)
The supplied corpus does not show a later class advancement or a reunion that collapses the two independent Nilas back into one person. Cain's remark that Nila would have enjoyed a distant location is affectionate recollection, not proof that either Nila is present or has acquired another realm. Their latest source-confirmed state therefore remains two independent Mythic Void Shamans associated with Mythryll, Queen Rose, and the Wave Rider community, each now accumulating experiences that the other cannot automatically receive. (Chapters 561 and 596)
Appearance and personality
Nila first appears as a dark-skinned elf with long white hair braided at the neck. Her initial outfit combines brown leather trousers, knee-high black boots, a bright red silk shirt, a gray military-style coat, paired scimitars, and pirate-like headwear that can include a black bandana or tricorne. Later sailor attire carries more jewelry, reflecting her development and command position without obscuring her practical maritime identity. Her musical voice contrasts with the severe professional bearing she adopts when acting as captain. (Chapters 161 and 361)
She is disciplined, proud of nautical standards, and protective without being indiscriminately violent. Nila works while companions lounge, insists that a captain retain dignity, and changes her tone when making official reports. She also combines pragmatism with loyalty: attackers may be killed in defense of Queen Rose, but she preserves evidence and a prisoner for questioning, and she structures fleet movements around the safety of crews and Mythryll. After liberation, her willingness to accept the other Nila as a twin rather than a rival shows an adaptable sense of self beneath that formal exterior. (Chapters 390, 483, 501–502, and 561)
Skills and class features
Nila's power crosses two linked systems. As a companion, she advances through creature and summon quality bands from Wave Rider to Ancient and then Mythic; at the Mythic transition she also receives the System class Void Shaman. Cain's release later changes her from a magically bonded companion into an independent level-500 Mythic being. That state change preserves her quality and class but ends synchronized duplicate mechanics tied to the bond. No later cultivation, Awakening, or Divine rank is confirmed. (Chapters 161–162, 360–361, 395, 558, and 561)
Wave Rider elemental magic
Wave Riders are elemental specialists whose strongest element in Nila's case is water. She can create conventional and flying water blades, raise waves or a tsunami, produce rainfall for agriculture, and shape water into solid-seeming stairs or other structures. Wind magic moves sails, accelerates travel, and produces wind blades. Earthquake and Stone Rain give her earth options, but she explicitly identifies most earth magic as weaker than her water work. These affinities explain why her combat and utility are strongest around ships, coasts, and large bodies of water. (Chapter 161)
Unlike a conventional Shaman, Nila lacks totems in her initial Wave Rider form because the specialization exchanges them for Elemental summons. Water Elementals are her strongest summons, extending control and battlefield presence beyond her paired scimitars. Large effects remain mana-intensive: charging one early spell can consume about half her reserve, and later ship-scale movement still benefits from outside mana. Her breadth therefore does not mean equal mastery of every element or unlimited use; water superiority, weaker earth, and resource demand remain durable constraints. (Chapters 161–162 and 395)
Companion quality, Bonded Forces, and duplication
Cain's companion framework upgrades Nila's quality and grants Bonded Forces. After an early Epic improvement, she selects Winged Wolves associated with the Dark Fae, while subsequent advancement carries her into the Ancient band by Chapter 360. Her natural move to Legendary in Chapter 395 is immediately converted to Mythic through Cain's advancement effects. These grades increase the scope of her elemental work, including fleet movement, but they are separate from the Void Shaman class received at the same transition. (Chapters 162, 360–361, and 394–395)
Summon Cloning initially creates two synchronized Nila instances that can share awareness and later merge, so their bonded-period actions belong to a single continuing companion identity. Release makes both bodies independent living Mythic beings and ends their direct communication and memory merging. Chapter 561 explicitly frames them as twin sisters with no hierarchy of authenticity. Any later temporary Wave Rider or Nila-derived summon would likewise be a separate summoned template, not evidence that either freed Nila personally gains its rank or experiences. (Chapters 161, 558, and 561)
Void Shaman transportation
The Void Shaman class specializes Nila's existing travel role. She can pull a ship into the void, bypassing ordinary surface distance and reducing a projected seven-day voyage to roughly two days. The application is not effortless teleportation: taking a heavily loaded Queen Rose into the void imposes an enormous mana burden. Assistants and mana-generating totems can make the route sustainable, showing that the new class partly restores a totem-based support interaction that her original Wave Rider specialization had traded away. (Chapter 395)
Void travel interacts with Nila's navigation rather than replacing it. A captain must still decide when to enter, protect passengers and cargo, coordinate assistants, and manage the ship once it returns. Her later fleet investigation and Port Nefheim response show those command skills continuing after the upgrade. The class makes her a strategic transporter, but the text does not establish unconstrained personal void movement, instantaneous travel, or immunity for a ship caught without sufficient mana and support. (Chapters 395, 501–502, and 554–555)
Naval command and latest state
Nila's combat applications consistently serve vessel and fleet survival. She can propel multiple ships, defend Queen Rose with elementals and cutting magic, preserve prisoners for intelligence, and make formal reports to other captains and the Council. Her association with Queen Rose is practical custody and captaincy rather than simple ownership: Cain creates and modifies the vessel, while Nila runs it in operation. Mythryll's presence aboard also gives Nila a personal reason to combine aggressive defense with conservative positioning. (Chapters 360–361, 390, 483, and 501–502)
After Chapter 558, each Nila retains level-500 Mythic existence and the Void Shaman identity but no longer operates through Cain's companion bond. The source confirms neither a later Mythic Awakening nor any higher formal class stage. It also does not select one independent Nila as the “real” continuation. The latest defensible account is therefore two equal, separate Mythic Void Shamans with the same pre-release history, each capable of developing independently and each connected to Mythryll and the Wave Riders. (Chapters 558, 561, and 596)
Power progression

| Independent Mythic being | 558 | Is released from Cain's companion bond as an independent Mythic being. |
Relationships
- Mythryll: Nila's wife and a central concern in her decisions aboard Queen Rose. After the companion bond ends, both independent Nilas continue to share that marriage, and the household approaches their new separation as a family adaptation rather than a contest between original and duplicate.
- Cain: Cain creates and advances Nila as a companion, equips her naval role, and ultimately gives up the command bond so she can exist independently. Their relationship shifts from summoner and companion to allied equals, though the source does not show a later reunion.
- The other Nila: Before release the two bodies are synchronized instances. Afterward they cannot exchange thoughts or merge memories and regard one another as twin sisters, making both authentic continuations of their shared history.
- Wave Rider captains and Council: Nila works within their naval command structure, coordinating fleet positions, investigating threats, and reporting in an official captain's voice.
- Evangeline: Evangeline's barriers support Queen Rose while Nila navigates it. Their specialties are complementary: Nila maneuvers the vessel and Evangeline protects its hull and occupants.
Items
- Queen Rose: Nila inspects, navigates, and captains the vessel, holding practical operational custody during its voyages. The ship is an associated command rather than a simple personal possession. (Chapters 202, 390, and 394–395)
