STORY
Lillya belongs to a group of spirits known as fairies, of which there are said to be seven in the world of Vaira. Not that she could confirm or deny this, she only vaguely remembers her past from before the last hundred or so years. She is known as the Fairy of Prosperity to the elves. She has spent the last few centuries living in the elven village of Viel, a small settlement north of the Imperial City of Eliorecia. She can’t even remember why she started living there aside from having some half-remembered aversion to humans.
As a spirit of prosperity, Lillya brought great fortune to the elven village as she lived there, which led to the villagers treating her as something of a local deity, making offerings to her of basically anything she wanted. Despite her deified status, she managed to befriend the blunt and inquisitive Aeruvien during the elf’s childhood, and the two remained friends as “Eru” grew up.
Despite – or perhaps because of – Lillya’s blessings, her peaceful life in Viel would eventually be disrupted. Human bandits and slavers had found out about the prosperous elven village and raided it, leaving most of the inhabitants either dead or captured. While slavery is technically illegal in the empire, there are plenty of backroom methods to acquire an exotic servant ‘legally’ for the aristocratic elite. Aeruvien was one such prisoner.
Having managed to escape the village herself during the attack, Lillya was distraught. Not only had she lost her home, where the elves would virtually wait on her hand and foot, she had lost her best-slash-only friend! The village wouldn’t be restored any time soon, so Lillya resolved to at least get her friend back. The rest could come later. Thus, Lillya set out on a journey to track down her dear friend, following her trail south through Kriterra and avoiding humans as best she can.
Personality:
Lillya is arrogant and self-centered, but she’s so airheaded that it often comes across more as ‘cute’ than annoying. She can’t remember much of her own past and thus her desires tend to be exceptionally mundane, like wanting to eat sweet foods or being entertained with stories when she gets bored. To the elves of Viel this was an easy trade for the prosperity she brought the village simply by living there. To ensure Lillya stayed in the village, the elves built a small but beautiful home for her and ensured she was always looked after with food and attendants to cater to her simple requests.
Despite her naive personality leading her to be tricked quite easily, she’s powerful enough to hold her own in most circumstances where she can use her magic, having abilities on par with the most powerful mortal mages. She just… rarely thinks to actually use them.
Sexual Preferences
Lillya doesn’t really think about sex much in comparison to mortal beings. This isn’t because she never feels arousal, but because she is a spirit she isn’t driven by the same need mortals have to purge mana buildup via sexual activity. When she does feel arousal she treats it the same as being hungry or thirsty. Usually, this means just playing with herself or, when she lived in Viel, having an attendant do it for her until she’s satisfied. Were she to have sex with a partner, she’d only consider her own satisfaction as being important, not out of sadism but simply out of inattention and lack of concern.
Magic
As a spirit, Lillya is an immortal being manifested from mana itself. She embodies the concept of prosperity, so her abilities are related to the bringing of or taking away of prosperity. In Viel, by living there, she brought wealth to the village. However, if angered, she could have done the opposite. In terms of more direct applications, her magic would manifest as ‘good or bad luck’ rather than what one might typically expect from a spell. Rather than throw a fireball, her magic might cause her opponent to trip, something to fall on them, or their weapons or spells to misfire. Because her spirit magic is hard to gauge by mortal standards it’s hard to measure her power directly, but in terms of mana reserves, Lillya has a greater capacity to manipulate magic than even the greatest living mortal mages.
Because of her nature as a spirit, Lillya is physically and psychologically affected by the mana that comprises her body. One could infer, therefore, that her difficulty remembering her past is caused by the mana composition of her body changing over time.
Relationships
Humans – Lillya has an aversion to humans, though she can’t explain why. It has existed before Viel was raided and she simply feels uncomfortable and nervous around them.
Eru – Lillya considered Eru to be her best friend, at least the best friend that she can currently remember. Eru never really treated Lillya the same way as other elves, but the young girl was curious and kind. Lillya felt this behavior to be endearing and friendly, rather than offensive, and the fairy decided that they were friends. Eru would often be called to entertain the fairy when she was bored, and Eru would suggest different games and activities for the two to do, which Lillya greatly enjoyed. Most of the elves simply told her stories, after all. Whether this affection was reciprocated or one-sided remains to be seen.
