Edna

Appearance and Personality: Race: Seraphim Gender: Female Age: 1300 Height: 145cm Despite her age, Edna appears as a young teenager. She has fairly short blond hair, which becomes a deeper shade of yellow toward the tips. There is a black-hairband above her head, and her side ponytail is tied with a green ribbon. She has blue eyes, and wears a choker with a small, hanging jewel, tied around her neck with a black ribbon. Edna wears a short yellow and white dress with a big flowery bow on the back. She also wears a single brown glove wrapped in the same ribbon used to tie her hair on her right hand. She has big brown boots with buckles and yellow ribbons wrapped around her legs. She uses her umbrella to protect herself.

Contrary to her innocent appearance, Edna often behaves with an air of apathy. She is critical of human flaws, sarcastic, and enjoys teasing others, especially Mikleo, Alisha Diphda and Rose. She also easily becomes blasé and has a tendency to sound bored when attacking low-level enemies. She can be spoiled and irritable, often losing patience whenever a tease, intentional or otherwise, is thrown her way.

She does possess a softer side, though most often when her memories of Eizen surface. After frightening a Minotaur hellion in her impatience, she shows a gentler side to it and apologizes after discovering that it is the culmination of suffering children. The night of Dezel's death, Edna attempts to comfort Sorey's feelings on the matter, though she has trouble properly expressing her intention.

History: Edna was born from an earthpulse centuries prior to the events of Tales of Berseria. For decades, she was looked after by her senior, Eizen.

There were other malakhim before Edna, but she and Eizen developed a sibling bond with each other. However, after a continuous streak of unfortunate events, Eizen realized that his domain causes misfortunes to those near him. One day, Eizen left on a journey so Edna would not get involved in his "curse". Despite Eizen frequently sending letters to her, Edna felt so alone, writing her own letters, but not building enough strength to actually send them.

Sadly, the next time they would see each other, Eizen had already transformed into a dragon in Rayfalke Spiritcrest, where he lived in isolation. Eizen lost all traces of his original self and became a mindless beast, devouring countless humans and seraphim and is no longer able to recognize his own sister. During this time, the wind seraph Zaveid would show up, intent on killing the dragon in order to fulfill his promise.

Around the events of Tales of Zestiria, she encounters the new Shepherd Sorey, and joins him on a journey to discover a way to save Eizen.

Fighting Style: Being an Earth seraph, Edna fights with an umbrella, which represents Earth's dominance over Water, enhancing her power, as well as giving her both a varied arsenal and solid fundamentals. She can fire projectiles at threatening enemies from afar while waiting for a chance to swoop in and wallop them.

She is able to perform seraphic Earth artes, which primarily consists of using rocks. She is also able to combine some of the other elements with Earth, creating a variety of attacks, such as creating snow-like powders and projectiles of ice when combining with Water, as well as combining Wind with Earth to create voids and gravitational fields.

Edna also has the ability to cast artes that have a delayed reaction to them, such as Rock Trigger, Gravitrigger, and Quake Trigger. These artes are activated by certain hit counts achieved either by herself or with her allies, making it useful if the player wants to increase their hits against an enemy. Because Edna has a petite exterior, she cannot carry weapons heavier than herself due to the possibility of becoming strained while using Giant's Strength, her map action. Thus, the umbrella is her choice of weapon. Despite her small frame, however, Edna possesses a high defense stat and can cast Barrier to assist others. On her own, Edna has two mystic artes: Terra Mine and Shooting Stars. She gains a third mystic arte, Earth Revolution, when she is armatized with either Sorey or Rose.

Trivia: -Earthpulse-The earthpulse is a manifestation of mother nature's power that permeates the earth. There are places where several branches of the earthpulse called earthpulse nexuses, or earthpulse points, exist. One such earthpulse nexus exists in Lohgrin, where a giant monolith is located that Mayvin uses to show Sorey and his group the Earthen Historia record regarding the origin of the Age of Chaos. -Phoenix is the name of the orange creature hanging from Edna's umbrella. -Edna likes to tease Mikleo, often calling him "Meebo", and her excessive teasing leads her to create puns like "normincarena", a parody of the popular song, "Macarena", much to Alisha's confusion. -A few of Edna's accessories were given to her by Eizen as gifts. Her right glove is from a matching pair, the other belonging to her brother, her boots were previously owned by Eizen, which were then adjusted to fit her foot size, and her stone pendant is also a gift from her brother. -Edna is left-handed, like her brother. Her fighting stance almost resembled Eizen's, which shows placing her right hand on her hip while brandishing the umbrella on the other. -A hellion (possessing evil) is a type of creature in Tales of Zestiria. Hellions are created when a human, animal, Seraph, or object, is overcome with malevolence, impurities born from the negative emotions of humanity. They threaten the existence of both humans and Seraphim.
