Ahelissa is short for a Highlander owing in part to her father's Midlander heritage. She has deep green eyes and black hair she tends to keep short, in a mostly natural "How it fell" style.She has a scar running downward from the right side of her forehead to her right cheek, her hair does a good job of covering it most of the time.

She is well muscled from her service as a Dragoon, however few rarely see this.

Her left forearm is almost always covered by some form of cloth wrap when in any sort of clothing that might reveal her forearm, it is rare that she removes it. (Her left forearm is horribly scarred from injuries received during the fall of the Stone Vigil)

Notible skills & Traits

• Arcane and Magical skills

  Hearer (when in the Twelveswood she must obey the rules of the Hedge), Extremely well versed in Conjury, White Magicks and Sharlayan Astrology. She has studied and is comfortable with Thaumaturgy, Black Magicks and Summoning. Her interests do not stop there, she is currently studying Ancient Nymian Magicks as well as the Red Magicks from Ala Mhigo. While her skill with healing magicks is unparalleled she is well rounded enough in the other schools to be considered a very competent opponent on the field. She has also shown a knack for teleportation spells, using them to great effect to place herself in close proximity to where ever she needs to be.

• Echo

  Ahelissa possesses The Echo. Unlike some, her gift does not allow her to dig within the minds so see people's pasts, nor does it gift her with the ability to understand all languages instantaneously. Instead, new languages take a bit of time before she can get the 'feel' for it, but it does come at a considerably quicker pace than having to learn the language naturally. The Strength of Ahelissa's Echo lies in her ability to mimic any spell cast in her proximity. Much like other people who possess the Echo with languages, Ahelissa learns magicks just by seeing spells cast, essentially making her 'multilingual' with schools of magick and explaining why she has such a large repertoire of magicks at her disposal.

Biography

Born to Ricard and Auelin Harte in the Miller's Glade province of Coerthas, Ahelissa is the oldest of 5 children. Ahelissa spent the better part of her childhood learning to grow crops and work the land even though she had dreams of becoming a Knight in the service of Ishgard. When Dalamud fell and changed the landscape, Ricard led his family to the gates of the Holy See as refugees. The family took up residence in the upper level of the Brume and have lived there since. As she came to age, Ahelissa and several of her friends enlisted in Ishgard's standing army. She sent her pay back to her family in the Brume, hoping to ease their life for as long as she could. It was during this time that she established herself a reputation as an excellent lancer.

Ahelissa was garrisoned at the Stone Vigil when the Dravanians attacked and broke it's defenses. Surrounded by Dravanians, defending several wounded soldiers and Knights, Ahelissa fought and killed the Elder Wyrm Chkra'sa however, she, was badly injured in the fight. Rescued from certain doom by a relief force of Dragoons and Knights Ahelissa and the other casualties of the Vigil were spirited away to the safety of the See to be healed and lauded as heroes. Ahelissa was soon after awarded the title of Knight Dragoon and went on to become one of Ishgard’s finest weapons against the Dravanain horde as a Dragoon.

Once the truths of the Dragonsong war's beginnings were made public knowledge, Ahelissa resigned her title and left Ishgard proper for parts unknown. Later that same summer she turned up in Gridania working odd jobs at the various guilds there. Through no design of her own, she found herself involved with an incident with the guardian tree and Ixal that led her back to picking up the lance in the service of the Twin Adders and defense of her new home. Since then, she has done her level best to stand by the vows that she took when knighted, to defend those who cannot defend themselves foremost among those vows.

Ahelissa has returned to Ishgard on several occasions to visit family and friends but it was only just recently that she came into the service of House Savaliere. It was through this service that Ahelissa met Hope Salaviere. Hope helped Ahelissa tap her potential as a Conjurer. Having no luck with Ishgardian Astrology when she was young, Ahelissa's exposure to magic up to that point had been on the receiving end of healing after the Stone Vigil.

Once her eyes were opened to the possibilities however, she delved headlong into the study of any arcane arts she could. No one is quite certain just how proficient Ahelissa is with the Magic as she tends to only use what she has learned in times of great need. However, there is no doubt from anyone that has seen her in action that she is a very powerful and capable Mage.

Relationships

♥ Romantic Interest, ♥ Sexual Interest, ♥ Platonic Love, ♦ Good Standing, ● Neutral Standing, ↓ Poor Standing

Romantic Interest

♥ Jarek Savaliere - Ahelissa saved Jarek from voidsent possession, and in the process found someone much like herself. Jarek is Baron Killian's quiet and reserved younger brother - In ways, the two saved each other. Ahelissa freed him from years of torture at the hands of the beast that had possessed him, and once free, Jarek was there to comfort Ahelissa and teach her that even she was worth saving. The two have grown close over the past months, only time will tell if it becomes serious.

Platonic Love

♥ Domhnall Ainfean - Ahelissa and Domhnall met while working for Notre Ciel. They care for each other a great deal, but fate would have them walk separate paths. In Domhnall, Ahelissa has confided a great many things, as he has to her. She trusts him implicitly above all others.

♥ Baron Killian Savaliere - Ahelissa met Baron Killian Savaliere in earnest when he took over managing his family's business, she has since come to trust and respect the man as both a statesman and warrior a great deal.

♥ Hope Savaliere - Hope holds a special place in Ahelissa's heart as she helped Ahelissa realize her potential as a Conjurer.

♥ Europhos Herltrach - Creator and Leader of the Free Mages Guild and all around father figure for mages in general, Ahelissa and Europhos are diametrically opposed in schools of magic but despite this she considers him one of her closest friends

♥ Miah Herltrach - Where her Husband is father figure for many mages, Miah is very much the mother figure, Ahelissa considers Miah to be among her closest friends.

♥ Thea Cromwell - Ahelissa's first Conjury student through the Free Mages Guild. Thea has become a powerful conjurer in her own right. Mentoring a student in the ways of empathy and healing can be a very touching experience for those involved and as such, Ahelissa is very close to Thea.

♥ Iona Falconsoul - Another adept of Conjury met through the Free Mages Guild, After their initial meeting they became fast friends. Iona also helped Ahelissa nurse Domhnall Ainfean back to health after he was attacked by Sharlayan Assassins, for this Ahelissa holds a very deep respect for the woman.

♥ Kaelen Royeaux - Longtime friend and fellow Conjurer from Stillfane Glade, Kaelen grew worried at Ahelissa's extended absence and came to Notre Ciel to find her. After some discussion, he agreed to join Ahelissa at the clinic to help ease the burden from his beleaguered friend.

Good Standing

♦ Daro Zalahra - Being the trainer of House Savaliere, Daro was one of the first to put Ahelissa through her paces after she joined Notre Ciel, she has a healthy respect for the man as a warrior and considers him a good friend.

♦ Kaine Fatalis - As Ahelissa's counterpart, she and Kaine have a close working relationship. A self taught Astrologian, Ahelissa has a respect for both the man's mind and spear arm. She considers him a good friend.

♦ Deamon Titeuf - Once a patient with a grave wound at the Clinic, Deamon has since become a guard for the doctors (specifically Ahelissa) at the clinic, a duty he takes very seriously. She considers him a good friend and trusts him to watch after her on the battlefield should she need to take to the fight.

♦ Faedan Ashran - Owner and creator of Notre Ciel and head Healer at the Dawn Frost Clinic, Faedan has helped foster Ahelissa's training as a healer throughout her career. She considers Faedan to be a good friend and confidant.

♦ Niketas Ashran - Faedan's brother and fellow Healer at the Dawn Frost Clinic, Niketas was also one of the first to befriend Ahelissa after she came to work for Notre Ciel. She considers him to be a good friend despite his self-professed 'grumpy' attitude.

♦ Ylaziel Thel Al'Qamar - A mercenary under the employ of Domhnall Anifean. Ahelissa met Ylaziel in earnest when both her and Isycar Heilrendre needed treatment at the Savaliere clinic. Ylaziel's small frame and quiet demeanor evoke a motherly feeling in Ahelissa giving her a soft spot for the little Au'Ra.

♦ Cold Mountain - Hired by the Baroness, this mountain of a man takes his job of guarding very seriously, and while Ahelissa doesn't know the man very well, she respects his sense of duty. Recently, he took part in guarding Ahelissa while she purged herself of Woodsin at Urth's font, to her, she owes him a debt that cannot be repaid.

♦ Hikaru Saito - A Samurai recently come to Eorzea who has chosen to serve the House Savaliere. While she doesn't know him well, he did guard her during the ritual to purge her Woodsin and for it she feels she owes the man a great debt.

♦ T'Karra Mhasi - A budding hearer and Domhnall's current mate. Ahelissa has mixed feelings when it comes to T'karra, but she likes the woman and intends to help strengthen her connection with the Twelveswood. T'karra also recently took it upon herself to guard Ahelissa while she purged herself of Woodsin, further complicating Ahelissa's feelings by adding in a healthy dose of gratitude into the mix.

♦ Linelle Proctie - Another recent addition to the guards at Notre Ciel, Linelle is young and means well, however this has placed her in contention with Ahelissa once or twice when she 'gets in the way' at the clinic. Linelle was among the cadre of guards that watched over Ahelissa, Hope and Kaelen as they purged her of Woodsin and as such, Ahelissa feels very much in her debt.

Neutral Standing

● C'Kalrune - Guard and warrior for Notre Ciel, 'Kal' as he's known hovers in a unique spot among the people on Ahelissa's list. While she considers him a friend and capable warrior, she cannot condone some actions that he has taken on recent joint missions, and as such tends to keep him at arms length.

● Kyo Kuza - Captian of the Hex squad, Kyo is a proficient user of void and a fairly competent warrior. While Ahelissa respects these things, she does not appriceate some of the man's past tactics in battle or his sometime brisk and unfriendly demeanor. Its because of these reasons Ahelissa tends to avoid interacting at length with Kyo when she can.

Poor Standing

↓ Levidian Savaliere - Levidian Savaliere was the head of house Savaliere when Ahelissa came to work for Notre Ciel. It was later discovered that Levidian was a Dark mage and at least one encounter with him and his minions left Ahelissa's sister, Roysa, injured badly enough she was unable to continue as a guard for Notre Ciel.

↓ Isycar Heilrendre - A Mercenary hired by Domhnall Ainfean, Isycar gained Ahelissa's ire quickly after coming into Domhnall's employ. Fiercely loyal to Baron Killian Savaliere, Ahelissa immediately took a dislike to the man for badmouthing the Baron.
