| − | Virella is one of the many astrologians of the First Dicastrial Observatorium of Aetherial and Astrological Phenomena. Open-minded for an Ishgardian, she often send to deal with outsiders when matters need to be solved outside the Observatorium. That said, like any Ishgardian she is wary of outsiders, and prone to make racist comments despite her curiosity of people of the other city-states. Despite being somewhat open-minded to outsiders, ultimately her loyalty remains with the Holy See, the Observatorium and House Durendaire.

| |
| − | ===Appearance===
| |
| − | | |
| − | Being shut away in the Observatorium towers, and her studies often lasting from the early evening till the early morning, it is safe so say Virella doesn't have much in the way of a tan, being as pale like many native Ishgardian elezen.
| |
| − | The most colourful features upon her face are her freckles, two bright green eyes and to very subtly usage of make-up; this all being framed by long thin hair, usually braided at the back.
| |
| − | She stands at an average height for one of her kind, a physique fitting for a more scholarly type - she has little in the way of muscle.
| |
| − | | |
| − | As any loyal Ishgardian woman would, she heeds to the saying 'pure as peridot' and dutifully wears a peridot ring on her right hand. Next to this she wears a pair of mythril earrings to express her unity with her people's everlasting crusade against the Dravanian Horde. In truely mad Ishgardian fashion, she has the three spears of Halone carved within her right wrist.
| |
| − | | |
| − | When found within the Observatorium's reaches, she dresses according to her job as an astrologian. Despite not being overly keen on her large pointy hat her fellow astrologians tend to wear, she only equips it within the cold reaches of Coerthas. Fingerless gloves is another thing she only seems to wear when the cold gets to her.
| |
| − | But if one may find her outside her job's attire, she could easily pass for your typical tavern wench. A simply dress, leather corset and a smile to go with it all, she blends in as easily between a crowd of elezen commoners.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Personality===
| |
| − | | |
| − | A far cry from a quiet wallflower, Virella seems to boast with self confidence. From the often spotted cheeky smile upon her lips, to the ways she walks, she almost seems to dare people to take an issue with her outgoing personality, especially within the reaches of Ishgard. Being far from shy around the other sex, Virella seems to revel in the attention of elezen men, and rumour has it her behaviour around them often ends up in what is borderline acceptable within Ishgardian society; and even worse when to be found outside Coerthas or Ishgard.
| |
| − | | |
| − | But this all is of course when one were to meet her in a situation it would allow her to behave as such. When she is on duty, whether it is star gazing, making calculation or doing anything else what requires her attention as an astrologian, she's drop dead serious, and far from easily swayed from the tasks bestowed upon her.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Despite not being overly keen on other races and nations as a whole, she tries to judge people onto an individual base. Her curious nature often gets the best of her in any case, and in the end race, nation and gender seems to matter little to her while she tries to pry as many things from people's lips. Although while being very laid back, especially so for one with Ishgardian roots, insults directed to the Church, Archbishop or Halone are met with everything but kindness. She has the tendency to be overly zealous, like many other from her city-state, and would defend her people's ways with her dying breath.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Overall she is a very pleasant elezen to be around, always eager to strike up a conversation, whether it to be a serious one, or just mindless chatter. '''Politics, however, are best left out.'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===History===
| |
| − | | |
| − | Born to an Ishgardian knight, Ferdinant Douront, and a lord´s bastard, Alessa Lescieux, Virella ended up being the third child out of five gifted to the happy couple. Blessed with a relative easy childhood, Virella didn't saw many struggles. Her merry family of commoners, as if blessed by Halone herself, had seen little in the way of losses to the Dravanian Horde.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Virella stood out like a sore thumb compared to her siblings. Her sisters mostly interested in typical girly nonsense, her brothers more so in hitting one another with wooden swords, Virella ended up sticking her nose between the books her parents provided.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Her parents saw the potential from an early age within their young daughter, and eventually had her whisked away to the towers of the astrologians. As expected the young girl became obsessed with their craft. Once she had reached a suitable age, she started to study underneath the strict gaze of the Observatorium. It was there that she met Francis Falcke, the two became the best of friends. This all ended though when Francis' family got exiled, yet it didn't sway Virella from her path to become an astrologian. In fact it only caused her to work harder after she had lost her closest friend. At the same she entered her first relationship; her and [[Alueaux Dunant]] used to be very close, however, this ended when he saw their relationship as a thorn in his side, breaking off the relationship and focused upon his path as a dragoon entirely.
| |
| − | | |
| − | A plantpot and a year later, she found herself absolutely smitten by a young temple knight, Geralt Bellevioux. From the moment they met the two were nearly inseparable, spending every waking moment together if not split apart due to duties. Plans of marriage were being made but sadly enough the young knight saw himself fall before the Dravanian Horde before they were given the chance to go trough the bonding ceremony.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In the meanwhile, her brothers managed to get conscripted within the army of the Holy See, one eventually ending up as a knight, the other a dragoon. One sister became an inquisitor, whereas the other devoted herself to her husband and motherhood.
| |
| − | | |
| − | As for Virella herself, the young girl eventually turned into an astrologian in her own right, following the teachings of Halone by heart and serving the Holy See devoutly like so many others from Ishgardian soil.

Ever since the two met, they have been spending a lot of time in one another's presence, despite Virella's bigotry regarding all things non-Ishgardian - a thing he appears to be handling well compared to most. As if a more odd couple couldn't have existed the Ala Mhigian and Ishgardian keep one another close to heart, although it being mostly a private affair between the two with the exception of some of their friends being aware of their relationship. </span></span>

Thankfully due to a series of events, the two seem to get along just fine once more, although far from as close as they were before.</span></span>

Despite Virella dutifully wearing her peridot ring, she readily insulted the supposed meaning of the gem when she bedded the man without a care.

That said, she believes the woman is rather ignorant onto the hardships of the world, and having made the choice to live in a world as seen in a romantic tale, and not in the cold harsh reality Virella herself is used to.

Till this very day she considers her childhood friend as one of the closest; however as all good things come to end, so did their friendship as Francis saw himself seduced by the Dravanian Horde and drove his dagger trough her midriff, shattering all trust and love Virella held for the man.
