Elfaria

Fairy Queen Elfaria is the Queen of the Fairy Kingdom of Ringford. She originally appeared in Odin Sphere as a supporting character and plays a similar role in the Sea of Erion universe. She is the mother of Fairy Princess Mercedes, as well as the aunt of her adviser, Duke Melvin.

Background and Personality
Elfaria appears young and very beautiful; though like most of her kind, and especially the Fairy royalty, she is much older than she appears, as she apparently still has at least two hundred years left on her. She is considered an incredibly kind yet just ruler and is well-loved by her people. She is also famed for having been able to defend Ringford against the Aesir during the previous war and it is hoped that she will be able to drive them off yet again.

She treasures her daughter dearly and worries for her greatly, as not only is Mercedes rebellious and childish, but she is also considered a "runt" and may only have a lifespan equivalent to a normal human's. She has strong faith in her nephew Melvin, but questions the ethics of the Shadow Knights.

Known Allegiances

 * Royal House of Ringford
 * The Vanir Armies of Ringford (supreme commander)

Abilities
Like all fairies, Queen Elfaria is capable of flight and has access to elemental magic. As royalty, her magic is much, much more powerful and developed. Per the nature of fairies, she is still rather fragile and is often flanked by guards in the event of an attack.

She is the proper owner of the Psypher Crossbow, the Tasla, having commissioned the Dwarf Brom to create it for her. She is skilled in its use, although the bow has yet to see a battle against the Aesir.
