Elita
Elita Ashborne is a cheerful Tiamat Academy student who befriends Aengus while he studies under the alias Zytherion. Her privileged Supreme Law connection and powerful family make her useful to his investigation, although she mistakes his calculated attention for genuine romantic interest. (Chapters 358–363)
Biography
Demonstration Of Talent to Next Destination
Elita defended the newly arrived “Zytherion” when classmates accused him of bluffing, then watched his technique demonstration and combat victory with rapidly growing admiration. Believing he lacked acquaintances, she invited him to lunch, shared guarded information about the academy, and continued protecting him from slander. Aengus encouraged the closeness because Elita's father and grandfather might know where his wives had been sent; he studied her mannerisms and used a clone disguised as her to pass family security. The real Elita remained unaware of the impersonation and, frightened by a recent intrusion, accepted comfort from the person responsible. (Chapters 358–361)
Elita later guided Aengus toward the market and remained beside him while the academy dean searched furiously for the infiltrator. Her fear led her to clutch his sleeve and urge a quiet return to their residences, while his compliance preserved his cover rather than confirming mutual affection. At her last appearance she is alive, still calling him “Zyth” and treating him as a trusted companion; the consequences of his deception for her family relationship or safety are not shown. (Chapters 361–363)
Appearance and personality
Elita is beautiful and graceful, slightly shorter than Aengus, with lively eyes and a cheerful, angelic aura. She is outspoken, fiercely dismissive of classmates who belittle someone she admires, and socially bold enough to invite a near-stranger to lunch. Her confidence coexists with vulnerability: an apparent intruder leaves her afraid to stay alone, and her attraction prevents her from recognizing that Aengus is gathering information rather than courting her. (Chapters 358–363)
Skills, laws, and abilities
Elita is in the Adept phase and belongs to the Supreme Faculty because she was born with a connection to Supreme Laws. That affiliation marks rare potential and grants access to reserved academy privileges, but the corpus does not name her specific law, show her casting a technique, or provide a rank comparison beyond being less talented than Aengus's disguised persona. No attack, defense, movement method, system panel, or demonstrated mastery can therefore be assigned. (Chapters 359–360)
Her influential family and academy access are practical capabilities rather than powers. Aengus expects that her connections can lead to information and successfully copies her speech and mannerisms to penetrate guarded quarters, but that feat belongs to him, not Elita. The deception actually demonstrates a limit in her security context: her identity can be imitated closely enough to pass multiple checks without her knowledge. (Chapters 360–361)
Relationships
- Aengus Degaro: Elita knows him as Zytherion, admires and defends him, while he cultivates her trust for information and impersonation. (Chapters 358–363)
- Albert: A classmate who resents Elita's immediate defense of the newcomer and receives her irritated dismissal. (Chapter 358)
- Professor Escanor: Elita's powerful father, with whom the source indicates an estranged relationship; Aengus uses her appearance to reach his quarters. (Chapter 361)
Items
No named weapon, armor, focus, or personal relic is established for Elita. Her Supreme Faculty access and residence are institutional privileges, not portable items or evidence of equipment-derived abilities. (Chapters 359–363)
