Adaleth Makela

"'I am responsible for the death of your father. I beg for forgiveness and shall take responsibility for my actions.' ~Adaleth to Remal, after interrupting Luther and Zaree's banter during the meeting with the Doubters and Remal." Adaleth-Abiah Makela is a human woman of (presumed) half-Elpian, half-Imperial descent. She comes from a family of mysterious physicians and studied for a doctor in her home town of Asjar, where her step-brother Evan Derwent and their close friend Luther Redgaze also resided. Adaleth was a very powerful Lordsfont inheritor, albeit unwillingly due to the unpredictable and destructive nature of her magic - it being bestowed to her forcefully by her very parents as part of their ambitions. Later, she managed to override her curse with what she believes to be a miracle of God, leading to her pledging a sacred oath of vindication of her past. She seems to play an important role in the stream of Fate, being appointed as the "key" to bringing back some mysterious entity, dubbed as the "True God" by Dr Ralvys Makela.

Appearance
Adaleth is a tall and slim woman, with pale skin, dark hair and eyes. She wore round glasses due to being short-sighted, but was eventually cured by God's blessing. Originally, she kept her hair long, braided in a single braid down her back, but eventually she cut her hair to mid-neck length. Later, during the battle with Eye of Rhea on Burningland island, her head and face were moderately burned, leaving her temporarily bald and scarred. Adaleth also has a single mole on the left corner of her mouth.

As part of the Derwent Group, she wore a dark brown coat and a long skirt, together with a wide-brimmed hat. Eventually she changed her civilian clothes for a set of leather armour, it being later replaced by a hardy metal breastplate. Finally, while banished on Nor, she got trapped within an alien armour known to the locals as the "Hyaline Hauberk" - an artifact from the distant past with unknown purpose. The armour was impossible to remove until recently, binding to the skin and bones of its user, but allowing for matter to pass through it if needed.

Adaleth is almost always seen carrying a large sack, either in her hands or on her back. After her second visit of Verde, she acquired a black magical sabre by the name "Eclipse", an energy beam sabre by the name of "Helios" and a bolt-action rifle.

Personality
Back in her Asjar years, Adaleth is a kind and well-mannered woman. She believes in the inherent goodness in all people, be they friends or foes. Much to the occasional annoyance of her companions, Adaleth prefers to try and talk things over, instead of using violent measures. However, she no stranger to deception and minor manipulation when the situation demands it - a skill, acquired during her work as an assistant of Evan.

However, as her mental health started declining during the events surrounding her chaotic magic, as well as the revelations surrounding the effects of said magic (they being that it occasionally causes what is known as Consumption Events and being bestowed upon her by her parents as part of their machinations), she became a bit more impulsive and, if not prone to, more inclined to to violence. Adaleth started holding deep hatred for Saego Vetaa - the person responsible for her condition, and intends to enact revenge in the name of her victims and herself.

After her divine revelation, she began trying to justify the great honour she was given by acting in a more spiritual and selfless manner, deciding to dedicate her life, if need be, to protecting those she cares for and eradicating evil and hatred. She tried turning many unexpected people to her cause, be they former servants of Saego or members of factions against the Empire or humanity (such as the elves, trilii and ksa'at).

Adaleth has good understanding of chemicals and their implications for medicinal drugs, such as aspirin and others. Her knowledge on the subject had been greatly broaden by the discovery of medicinal schoolbooks on Verde. Adaleth is an avid appreciator of art and culture, herself delving into traditional arts as a hobby. She has interest in cooking as well and, according to herself, is quite good at it, despite the negative reactions of Luther and Evan toward her meals. She is also fanatical about tea, though for the annoyance of many other appreciators insists on calling all herbal infusions "tea", because the Elpian word for tea is a catch-all term used for all infusions.

Powers and Abilities
Adaleth is a person of many interests and talents without being an expert in neither.

Medical experience
Adaleth is a medical student back in Asjar. She practices unprofessionally and aspires to become a full-fledged doctor. She also has the innate healing ability of her blood. Later, she additionally channels her divine energy to produce similar effects.

Chaotic magic (Lordsfont magic)
The magic of Adaleth is quite chaotic and often violent. She has not specific expertise in any school of magic, instead gaining powers more so according to her whims due to, again, the nature of her magic. She uses mainly assaulting, as well as enhancing magic.

She also has the ability to do minor changes in Fate, the outcomes of things - causing blows to hit when they should naturally miss or vice versa.

Adaleth frequently experiences "Chaotic Surges". The exact nature of each surge is unknown until activation and so is its timing. They come in many shapes and sizes, most of which causing detrimental effects to either Adaleth of her companions. One such "Surge" was responsible for the transportation of the party on Verde not once, but twice, as well as her disappearance during a confrontation with Ezra and Grey Ghost.

Powers of the divine
After her unintended visit of Nor, Adaleth's prayers to God were seemingly answered, miraculously dispersing the dangerous excess of magical power and the detrimental effects of the Chaotic Surges. Now save from the indirect influence of Saego, she, as according to passages in the Bible, swore an oath of retribution to humanity for the horrible deeds she has laid upon it and, more importantly, to bring peace to all the casualties of Vetaa, the Moonshards and the Undead menace.

Adaleth decided to focus more on her martial skills and channel the divine wrath of God upon her enemies. Her touch gained a healing effect and her senses sharpened for all things unholy.

Martial training
With the tutelage of Seimora, Adaleth became apt at defending herself with martial weapons. She is proficient at using mostly all weapons, including all kinds of armour and shields, but generally prefers using lighter weapons such as sabres and rapiers.

Marksmanship
Adaleth has vague knowledge of marksmanship. She can operate somewhat efficiently with rifles and automatic pistols.

Hyaline Hauberk
With the aftifact she found on Nor, Adaleth is capable of channelling her will onto it, activating her "spiritual form" - she starts glowing faintly, her armour turns gold, she skins shines with radiance, her hair turns white and her eye yellow. During the activation (which lasts for about a minute before exhausting) she gains the power of flight and greater protection for attacks, as well as immunity to fire.

Artistic and scientific abilities
Adaleth can use proficiently chemistry sets and synthesise simple drugs. She enjoys painting, singing and playing music. She can also cook.

Relationship with other characters
Adaleth is a communicative and generally positive person. She often tries to find common grounds with both her friends and foes, believing there is little a discussion cannot solve.

Evan Derwent
Being his adoptive sister, Adaleth holds a strong desire to help him and protect him however she can. She is very grateful of his family for taking her in after the disappearance of her family and feels that she is indebted to them. She had promised Evan's mother to always be by his side at least until he becomes a full-fledged adult. Adaleth admires the intelligence and dedication of her brother, but is sometimes scornful when he forgets himself.
