Aina
Aina Van Goldenslayer is the Dwarf known as the Warrior Princess, guildmaster of Eternal, and one of the foremost young fighters of her generation. Her disciplined public identity conceals two histories: years of lethal dungeon battles that scarred her body, and a previous life on Earth as Aina Williams, the terminally ill girl who loved Lux online as Little_Falling_Star. Remembering that life turns an initially guarded alliance with Lux into a consciously renewed romance. (Chapters 193–195, 745–749, 962–964)
Biography
Awakening and Leaf Village
Aina first enters Lux's story through Colette, who reports that a Half-Elf rescued her party in the Kobold Nest. Aina initially doubts the account because the racial prejudice she knows makes such selflessness seem unlikely, but she apologizes once persuaded and resolves to thank the rescuer herself. Even before meeting him, her reaction shows the balance that governs her decisions: skepticism shaped by experience, followed by direct acknowledgement when the evidence proves her wrong. (Chapters 29, 139)
By their first meeting, Aina is the guildmaster of the Silver-ranked Eternal and a middle-stage Grade A Apostle. She thanks Lux for repeatedly protecting Colette, yet refuses to commit her guild to a private debt because every member's life is her responsibility. Instead, she offers her own aid. She applies the same rule at home, denying Colette special exemption from guild duties even while treating her younger sister's safety as a personal concern. (Chapters 188, 193–195)
The Monster Outbreak gives Aina a setting in which those principles become battlefield command. At Eternal's front she uses the Warrior Princess's charisma and an arrowhead formation to concentrate several parties against bosses, then joins Lux and Diablo against the Deimos Warthog. Full Throttle creates a brief opening for Ignition Break to pierce its defense, but victory depends on timing and cooperation rather than her strength alone. When Lux later stages his death, she restrains the distraught Colette and helps the clerics, then accepts the secret explanation, placing the larger protection plan above her own anxiety. (Chapters 203, 208–209, 216)
The Dragon kingdoms and the Abyss
Eternal's promotion to Gold rank reflects Aina's management, but it also makes her a political target. Twilight Rain pressures Colette after Aina rejects an alliance, exploiting Aina's attachment to her sister and the casualties she has already had to carry as guildmaster. When Aina later meets Lux again, her gratitude for his rescues has therefore deepened into respect. She accepts a duel with him as the condition of her Ranker Trial, trusting an opponent strong enough to push her without deliberately destroying her. (Chapters 715, 725–726)
The duel reveals how far Aina has developed while still formally an Initiate. Transforming into the Angel of Vengeance, she flies, meets Lux's dragon breath with Divine Smite, and pressures forces that would overwhelm most people of her rank. Neither combatant begins with lethal intent, but Keoza's domain lets the contest escalate safely. Aina's overwhelming Strength and angelic mobility make her dangerous even to low Rankers, while Lux's varied army and control options expose the risk of specializing too heavily in direct offense. (Chapters 740–743)
World Blessing lightning descends while Aina is already injured, forcing her through a fifteen-minute tribulation rather than granting a painless promotion. The remnant blessing temporarily gives her High-Ranker-level force and destabilizes her newly upgraded abilities; she attacks Lux's entire army until crystalline restraints and his Crystal Dragon Breath subdue her. Once lucid, she is a Ranker at nineteen. The trial also restores memories of Aina Williams, explains her longstanding pull toward Lux, and leads her to ask him to heal the scars she regards as medals of survival before she kisses him and demands a say in any future marriage. (Chapters 745–750)
The Divine Army reckoning
When an S-class Beast Tide threatens Xeno, Aina leads Eternal's fighters beside the kingdom's army. Learning publicly that Victor is not merely her father but Xeno's king does not distract her from command: she orders the troops to withdraw from an attack they cannot survive, remains beside Lux, and assumes her angelic form. Fighting with Seraphina, she rains light across the battlefield and helps cut down the horde, proving that her new Ranker power serves the soldiers for whom she feels responsible rather than replacing them as expendable pieces. (Chapters 958–960)
The battle's aftermath brings Aina's two lives together. Lux's mention of Earth and his old handle MoonKnight69 lets her identify herself as Little_Falling_Star, the online girlfriend he lost after her second surgery. She explains that she had been Aina Williams, the twin whose brain tumor drove Luna to become an idol and pay for treatment. Their recovered memories transform attraction into recognition and mutual love; Aina then insists that their relationship be faced honestly by her family, despite Victor's initial resistance and Felicia's mediation. (Chapters 961–965)
Aina's loyalty does not erase her political judgment. After the Divine Army crisis, she tells Lux she would accept exile rather than abandon him, but also asks him to keep a low profile because she loves Xeno and refuses to make her family absorb avoidable consequences. When the Saints' conspiracy later takes Aina and Colette hostage, she escapes in angelic form with her sister and helps Lux's other partners stop his retaliatory rampage. Calling herself one cause of his suffering is not self-pity so much as responsibility: she refuses to let love become permission for him to destroy indiscriminately. (Chapters 1002, 1013–1026)
Abyssal invasion and broken memories
With the conspirators defeated, Aina formally joins Heaven's Gate while remaining Eternal's guildmaster. She considers moving Eternal rather than simply abandoning the organization she built, and uses the guild network to support decisions affecting Gweliven. Lux's destruction of Twilight Rain also closes a threat that had repeatedly treated Aina and Colette as leverage. Her position now links family, kingdom, Eternal, and Heaven's Gate, requiring negotiation among loyalties that she once kept rigidly separate. (Chapters 1034–1044)
As the Abyssal invasion approaches, Heaven's Gate assigns Asmodeus and Calamity-ranked defenders to Xeno, specifically protecting Aina and her family while Lux fights elsewhere. After the catastrophe severs the worlds, Asmodeus's departure makes Aina suspect the news before it is spoken. Unlike most people affected by the world's altered memories, she remains among the small group who remember Lux, although the surviving account does not give a specific mechanism for her exemption. That memory leaves her carrying grief others cannot understand. (Chapters 1093, 1106, 1126)
Lux's year on Earth creates an asymmetry Aina cannot yet see: he finds Luna, Aina's twin from her previous life, while Aina regrets that she could not say goodbye or thank him before his disappearance. Once restored to Elysium, Lux intends both to explain Luna's survival and to reunite the sisters. Aina's intact memories therefore become more than romantic continuity; they form the bridge by which two people separated by death and reincarnation can recognize their shared family again. (Chapters 1118, 1126–1128)
Open Heaven’s Gate
Aina's reunion with Luna finally occurs on Earth. She embraces the twin whose sacrifices sustained her first life, then immediately breaks Gustav's arms when he threatens Luna, combining unmistakable affection with the same ruthless protectiveness she has always shown Colette. Once the danger passes, the sisters spend a month exploring Earth together, and Aina folds her present family into that recovered bond by telling Luna about Colette and bringing Victor into their time there. (Chapters 1224–1226)
Lux's proposal does not force the sisters into rivalry. Aina has already asked to be consulted about marriage, while Luna accepts because her love for Lux and reunion with Aina make a shared household desirable rather than merely tolerable. Their decision completes a relationship that began online under aliases and survived both Aina's death and Lux's reincarnation. It also shows how Aina's guarded pragmatism has changed: she still states her conditions directly, but no longer treats intimate dependence as a weakness to conceal. (Chapters 1228, 1232)
Victor escorts Aina and Luna to the ceremony, where both marry Lux. Aina remains alive and a Ranker at the endpoint; the final domestic schedule assigns her and Luna the same day with their husband, preserving the sisters' renewed closeness within the larger family. No later formal advancement is shown. Her conclusion is therefore personal rather than hierarchical: the Warrior Princess who bore duty without visible emotion gains a future in which her first and second lives coexist openly. (Chapters 1232–1233)
Appearance and personality
Aina is a petite Dwarf with long blonde hair usually tied in a ponytail, blue eyes, and a doll-like beauty that becomes still more striking after her Ranker tribulation. Years of dungeon expeditions leave most of her body covered in scars, though her face remains untouched. Even royal resources cannot remove them, and she values them as proof of battles survived. Lux heals their raised damage, but silver traces remain as the record she chooses not to disown. (Chapters 29, 193, 745, 749)
Her face is famously expressionless and her voice monotone, with emotion more often visible in her eyes than her mouth. That reserve is not indifference. Aina is fiercely attached to siblings, guild, kingdom, and Lux, but habitually converts feeling into action: strict rules for Colette, a personal favor rather than an irresponsible guild promise, retreat orders that save soldiers, and violence against anyone who threatens Luna. Recovered memories suggest that illness and loss in her first life helped shape this restraint, while her later candor with Lux shows increasing willingness to name what she wants. (Chapters 193–195, 962–965, 1224)
Abilities and combat style
Aina is a strength-focused warrior whose signature transformation is Angel of Vengeance. As an Initiate, its EX form grants flight and increases Agility and Dexterity by 300 percent, while Divine Strength permanently raises Strength by 300 percent and prevents debuffs from lowering that stat. After her Ranker breakthrough, both become SSR abilities with stated 400-percent bonuses. These multipliers amplify the attributes she has deliberately concentrated in Strength; they do not make her invulnerable or erase the importance of rank, injury, control effects, and tactical positioning. (Chapters 743, 745–746)
The angelic form manifests fiery wings whose tendrils are super-compressed white flame capable of cutting like swords. Flames of Vengeance can strike targets within Aina's line of sight, while Divine Smite can meet powerful projected attacks such as Lux's dragon breath. The kit gives her air mobility, area pressure, and exceptional close-range force. Its interactions also matter: Divine swords are ineffective against Lux's undead because of their Divine immunity, so Aina changes to destructive flame and physical attacks; obscured vision likewise interferes with her line-of-sight assault, giving Lux a route to restrain her rather than trading blows. (Chapters 740–747)
Her earlier techniques remain useful beneath the transformation. Full Throttle increases physical prowess by 300 percent for only a few seconds before the next skill, making it an opening rather than a sustained state. Ignition Break follows with a 300-percent physical strike and a chance to shatter armor or weapons. Aina uses that narrow timing window to pierce the Deimos Warthog's defenses, while her four-arrowhead guild formation shows that she can turn many parties into coordinated offensive points instead of relying on a solitary charge. The limitation is explicit in the design: burst skills reward timing and leave no substitute for allies, formations, and target selection. (Chapters 208–209)
The unstable strength seen immediately after the World Blessing is not her normal rank. Residual blessing power briefly lets the newly advanced Aina strike with High-Ranker force, but it also drives her into an uncontrolled attack that requires crystalline restraints, concealment, and Crystal Dragon Breath to end. Later battles show a controlled Ranker using the same angelic mobility and light-based offense against the Beast Tide and in the final war, without establishing another formal promotion. Her latest confirmed state is therefore Ranker: extraordinarily dangerous through specialization and transformed statistics, yet still dependent on sight, stability, and cooperative tactics against superior foes. (Chapters 745–748, 958–960, 1207, 1232)

Relationships
Lux
Aina's bond with Lux begins as gratitude for Colette's rescue, develops through mutual respect and their Ranker-trial duel, and becomes romantic when restored memories identify him as MoonKnight69. She loves him without surrendering judgment: she asks him to seek family consent, warns him against bringing ruin upon Xeno, and joins his other partners in stopping his rage. Their marriage reunites a relationship interrupted by death while preserving Aina's ability to set conditions and challenge him. (Chapters 193–195, 725–750, 962–965, 1002, 1026, 1232)
Colette and Luna
Colette is Aina's younger sister in her second life. Aina enforces guild obligations rather than favoring her, yet repeatedly places herself between Colette and danger; their enemies exploit precisely that attachment. Luna is the twin from Aina's first life, whose idol career funded Aina Williams's treatment. Their reunion restores a family bond both believed death had ended, and Aina's immediate defense of Luna echoes her protectiveness toward Colette while carrying the force of long-delayed gratitude. (Chapters 29, 139, 195, 715, 962–963, 1224–1226)
The Goldenslayer family and Eternal
Aina loves Victor, Felicia, and Tristan, but she does not confuse family loyalty with automatic obedience. She is prepared to accept exile for standing beside Lux, while still asking him to minimize harm to Xeno. Eternal expresses the same ethic at institutional scale: she builds it from Silver to Gold rank, refuses to gamble its members on personal debts, and remains its guildmaster even after joining Heaven's Gate. Her leadership is protective because it recognizes that followers are people for whom she is accountable. (Chapters 193–195, 715, 1002, 1044)
