She also wears a blade-like ornament on one side of her head and has red markings across her body. Those markings are a reference to her divine blood. Extra: N/A Personality Personality: To describe Esperia is akin to describing the act of peeling an onion, Every layer tends to display a different story, On the surface Esperia appears as a slightly withdrawn and timid child, While she has a certain air of maturity and seriousness to her that seems a bit misplaced for a teenager of her age, it is undeniable that she carries within her a deeply ingrained sense of devotion, and the ability to pull forth an incredible sense of effort to accomplish the things she desire, Surely she might sound polite to others, perhaps a little bit too polite for a young lady of her age, the politeness also seems to carry a certain distantness in it, almost a cold feeling that tries to make her distance herself from others, To go further beyond that what appears on the surface, to those Esperia has grown to trust enough to call them friends: Esperia appears to hold a certain urge to suppress her true feelings around others, Perhaps to protect herself, or maybe out of distrust, but to those she opens up to Esperia shows a more cheerful and easygoing nature, a friendly and almost bubbly attitude that tends to be flavored with a naive little bit of innocence in it, She also is prone to be a bit more playful around those she has grown to trust, Nevertheless, even the purest lakes can conceal darkness, and Esperia is just the same, Esperia is often clingy, borderline possessive of those she cares for, A great example of this is her affection toward the daughter of the family that took her in after the 'Eisenberg' tragedy, Due to having lost her family in such a tragic manner Esperia became incredibly dependent on a certain young lady of the Elestia tribe, While as a child this was even more evident, Esperia never truly recovered from the loss of her family , Having grown up in a way where her involvement in the tragedy often cause some of the people within the tribe to look at her with distrust or even fear, whispering in hushed voices it left Esperia to feel distant toward anyone else even within the her tribe aside from the aforementioned lass she bonded with, Yet, whether this might change or not is something that is yet to be seen Finally, in terms of her existence as a combatant, While Esperia's personality seems to suggest she is way too gentle to actually commit the act of killing something or someone, past reports state that the girl is able to harden her resolve and kill her emotions for the sake of her survival, but it seems that something 'strange' happens to her during those moments... In recent days her relationship with Priscilla has made Esperia much more confident and playful, but also far more protective over the love of her life. Likes:

The primary use of this magic is found in the creation of armaments to strike an enemy with within range or fire projectiles at them. History History: Faith has always been an important aspect of society, no matter what time or age, humanity often has a need to believe in something or someone, the religion of Illumin is such an example. However, while some use religion to worship, others see it as a calling, and the Eisenberg family were such a family. Belonging to a group of the church who believed that it was their duty to protect the people of Fiore from the darkness the sun couldn't reach. In the end, it was often at night, when the sun was gone that evil stirred and creatures like the damned undead and other nefarious denizens of the darkness reveled in the absence of the sun. It was for that reason this group had decided to take up arms and hone themselves for a role similar to the Holy Knights, not officially recognized those brave men and women trained their bodies and mind from childhood in order to banish those vile creatures into the abyss they came from! Situated in the most northern region of the land, the Eisenberg was a family that represented a branch near the lands the Elestia tribe dwelled at. Considering themselves the protectors of the land and the aforementioned tribe the Eisenberg would often hunt the dangerous creatures that lurked in the shadows, and it was amidst this family of holy guardians that Esperia was born. The youngest daughter of the Eisenberg household, Esperia was given a more mellow upbringing compared to her elder sibling who was from the moment she could walk being honed into becoming a Holy Knight. Despite her clever nature, Esperia was woefully lacking in the martial prowess, and after her parents had seen her use Magic for the first time they made her vow to never use it again in public: fearing the response her tainted light would bring... However, that's not to say her childhood was bad per say, her mother was a loving and doting parent, and her father while strict was a just man who only wanted the best for his family. But it all changed five years ago, at the tender age of 14. During a late night on a full moon her sister had just returned from a mission as a Holy Knight when the church they lived in was besieged by feral creatures. It was the first time she saw those 'monsters', creatures that were neither man nor beast, but something in-between, something more lethal and dangerous than anyone could imagine. Those werewolves or 'Lycan' as society called them tore through the trained guards of the church like a knife slicing through butter! While the siege was unfolding Esperia was escorted into the deepest sanctuary of the church, a large room where the brazier in honor of the first Divine was burning. Her sister had just prepared the locking of the door when a violent smash pierced the barricade, a giant muscular Lycan marching over the debris and after letting out a feral howl engaged her sister in combat. Blade clashed against claw as the two fought, but a stray attack led to the brazier above Esperia to start tumbling down, the flames threatening to immolate her! In a desperate attempt to save her her sister dashed toward her, pushing her out of the way the brazier hitting the back of her head and making her tumble onto the ground. The brazier fell onto the ground with a loud thud, the flames slowly spreading while the Lycan marched toward her sister, a violent claw impaling her back. A scream came from the poor girl as she rushed toward the Lycan, attempting to push the creature off her sister, but instead the Lycan merely looked down at her, a clawed hand sweeping toward her head. The creature roughly picked her off the ground, but as he pulled her upwards by her hair her bangs that covered her left eye were revealed, causing the Lycan to look at her with a hint of sheer disbelief, several grunts, and grumbles following as he said something illegible to her before marching out of the room. Of course, the shock of the event had left her paralyzed, collapsing into the small pool of blood that was forming beneath her sister, whose final words included a reassurance that she was glad Esperia was safe. On the verge of saying something else her sister, unfortunately, passed away, leaving Esperia to grief as the Elestia tribe came to investigate the burning church, finding the lone girl as the only survivor of the Lycan siege... In the aftermath of the events the Elestia tribe took her in, but things were never the same for her. The loss of her family and the memories of that tragic night continued to haunt her, although one particular girl in the Elestia tribe overcome the hushed whispers and rumors about the events and tried to talk to her. It was odd how friendly and caring that lass could be, even with how Esperia was prone to keeping her distance, but at times she couldn't help but smile at the girl's efforts to cheer her up. Nonetheless, it was when the High Priestess of the tribe called said girl for a seemingly impossible mission that Esperia's decision was made. Her house was no more, and her family had perished that night. If her lone friend among the tribe was about to depart on a journey, then so would she. However, where her friend was on a journey to find the salvation of her tribe, Esperia sought answers and revenge: she wanted to avenge the injustice that was done that day, unaware of the true events that had transpired that night. Why didn't the Lycan kill her, and what was it that her sister was trying to warn her about? Questions she would someday surely discover! Season I Timeskip: A lot has happened since Esperia set out on her journey, but no doubt the most significant aspect of her life would be found in three things. The first was the blossoming of her relationship with Fiametta Barone, a feisty lass she had met in Baska after several unfortunate events led to a heartbroken Esperia. Through the months that followed their relationship steadily blossomed into something more, to the point they were meant to get married. In preparations for the wonderful festivities, Esperia went on a special training mission with her mentor and senior at the Blue Pegasus guild, Alisa, unaware that tragedy would soon strike. While Fia was meant to return to Baska to tell the happy news to her family, the young lady had mysteriously vanished, something which set in motion a chain of events as Esperia found herself on the receiving end of an ambush from a wicked demon, one who proclaimed that Asmodeus, the demon lord who she shared her body with was becoming a threat to the demon's master, and as such Esperia was only barely able to keep the fiend at bay before Alisa and Sebastian arrived. In the wake of those events, and a mysterious message from the demon which told Esperia that to accomplish what she desired, she would lose something precious the demon lord decided to intervene: fragmenting the girl's memories about her time with Fia. This was an action done for two reasons. Knowing how much Esperia loved Fia, she knew the girl would become too obsessed searching for her missing lover, and with her own personal interests at stake, Asmodeus had chosen a rather risky gamble, relying on the friendship the girl had with Alisa, to distract the girl long enough to start preparing her for the demon lord's grand plan: to reclaim her territory within the Abyss and regain her true power. It was for this reason that Asmodeus send Sebastian into the Abyss to prepare a foothold for her arrival, while at the same time keeping Esperia confused, her fragmented memories only making her remember herself as: Esperia Barone, but no matter how often she tried to recall where she gained that family name from, only a shimemring image would show itself in the girl's memories, causing a great sense of worry and confusion within the girl's heart. Would she reclaim that which she had lost, or would Asmodeus have something different in mind for her? Timeskip Season 4: Although Esperia had hoped to spend the future away from all the adventurous chaos that Earthland had to offer, to simply spend the peaceful days alongside her beloved wife and family seemingly was a dream too far-fetched. It all began when a mysterious messenger revealed to her that several of the ancient vampire houses were engaged in a conflict of sorts. If anything, to Esperia it sounded more like a political game, with a violent backdrop: Considering most of the houses their origins can be found in the households of the thirteen who betrayed their predecessors and were cursed by their God-King Cain. Among those houses there are certain vampires that are often revered, some would consider it akin to nobility among the vampires, for those select few can trace their origins back to the original bloodline of their God-King, a feat only the thirteen are able to claim... or do they? When Esperia was first approached by the mysterious girl called 'Khay', she didn't know what to think: Although her unique abilities made it easy to perceive the girl's tale as truthful, it didn't made it any easier to come to terms with the tale: The history of Nebuchad, the birthplace of vampirism, a civilization doomed by betrayal and greed. And Khay? She was one of the Nine, one of the few, possibly even a lone survivor of the betrayal at the hands of her children. Despite her best efforts to keep other vampires in the dark about its existence, the recent rumors about vampires possessing Cain's blood had caused a surge of interest in the various households who wanted to attain the allegiance of those select few for their own purposes. While Khay might had not been the most selfless in her intentions, she did act with a certain honesty Esperia found refreshing: Khay was quick to reveal the reason she had approached Esperia was in the hope of serving as a mentor to the girl, to teach her about the ancient secrets of Nebuchad and the intrigues of the vampire houses. Khay's desire to restore Nebuchad to its former glory was a idealistic dream, she knew that much herself anytime she thought back about the submerged ruins, but she also felt that the current nature of their society was a pale shadow of the glorious days of Nebuchad. Cursed by betrayal most vampires had been forced to stay hidden in the shadows, or move under the darkness of the night, the traditions and rites of old were gone, in a way it might had been partly due to how the cursed state of the thirteen had led to the vampires their blood to become 'impure', they were weaker than before, but also had shunned away from ancient teachings. They thought themselves superior to others, and became both a terror and blight upon civilization to the point the term 'vampire' was commonly associated with a blood-sucking monster, a mockery of their glorious existence in the past. Nonetheless, as a vampire Khay lacked the ability to create a household, it took much more time for her to be able to properly convert someone, during the same time one of the thirteen could create an entire house, she could only turn maybe one or two individuals. They could easily dominate through sheer numbers. But an opportunity was found, Khay had observed Esperia in utmost secrecy and believed that despite possessing the Blood of Cain like the original Nine, she was likely capable of turning others into vampires with the same ease as the thirteen could, should she align herself with Khay, she could create a household that could stand against this mockery of Nebuchad's legacy. Yet, despite Esperia's willingness to train under Khay to master her vampiric powers, the fact remained she was quite... hesitant to turn others. Not only did she know just how much a normal person could consider vampirism a curse, but were there even any who shared Khay's views? However, it would be during her trip homeward alongside her lover Valerie that Esperia came forced to acknowledge something. She had just arrived at a village that had burned a vampire at the stake, but after investigating the matter further she realized a rival house had used the vampire as a scapegoat, and said victim was actually a well-mannered vampire that despite their unusual existence tried to coexist with the villagers. Even as he was burned at the stake he refused to go back on his ideals, didn't attack the humans that were carrying out his death sentence despite a minority trying to defend his innocence. Esperia understood just how different the existence of vampires was seen by the broader audience, and that something had to be done to change things. But was it her responsibility? And if so, what could she possibly do? ---- Demigod Esperia Arc: I promise you, not even death will keep us apart. It were those words that were last spoken by Esperia von Eisenberg before her death. What happened afterwards is the tale that is about to be told today: As she felt her soul leave its mortal coil, Esperia became stranded into the underworld, where obviously her efforts to return to the world of the living were met with harsh resistance from Hades and his servants. She was now his prisoner for eternity. Yet despite her stubbornness Esperia found that all her wisdom and knowledge did not aid her in the search for a means to escape from the underworld. At least... till a certain event happened. During her time in captivity Esperia met a certain woman called Cressida, Cressida had an interesting story to tell: She was the daughter of Aphrodite, a goddess which made Cressida a Demigod, but a series of events involving the gods had led to her death and Hades out of spite had severed her body from its soul, making Cressida unable to merge with it again. Trapped for eternity... Esperia in kind tried to cheer her up, telling the demigod about her adventures in Earthland and how she wanted to return to her lover, and over a short period of time the two bonded, when the unexpected happened. Aphrodite had snuck into the underworld to free her daughter, and learning about Esperia worked together with the pair to try to regain Cressida's freedom. However, Hades proved to be too much for Aphrodite, and with time running out she came up with a desperate plan: To let Esperia' soul inhabit Cressida's body, allowing her to flee back into the world of the living, but in exchange for the promise to become strong enough to free Cressida from Hades' grasp. Of course Esperia agreed, the chance to keep her vow to Priscilla and helping out a new friend made her more than willing to make the deal. As Aphrodite granted her time to escape Esperia made a vow to Cressida: I will rescue you, no matter what obstacles might await me! Finding herself stranded in Earthland thanks to Aphrodite's help, Esperia's determination was stirred as she returned to Fiore to regain her strength and attempt to find help in freeing Cressida from Hades' grasp.
