Nel

A child of the Fell Dragon from another Elyos. She is Rafal's elder sister and very much his counterpart. Appears in Fire Emblem Engage. Name: Nel Gender: Female Race: Manakete (Fell Dragon) Birthday: February 24 Age: 1000+ Relatives: Xenologue Sombron (Father), Nil (Younger Twin Brother), Rafal (Brother), Xenologue Veyle (Half Sister), Veyle (Adoptive Half Sister), Numerous Other Half-Siblings Weapon: Lances </Personal Information> As a manakete, Nel has 2 forms: her human form and dragon form.

In her human form, Nel appears to be a young slim woman with pale skin, red eyes and short black hair. Her attire consists of a tattered dress with the blue, white and black colors and shows her cleavage. The sleeves of the dress are white with silver arm guards on them and black gloves on her hands. She also wears black pants with the left leg being long while right leg is short. She wears silver leg plates and a short blue cape on her back.

In her dragon form, she appears to be a dragon with mostly black scales. Her eyes and the gem on her forehead are red. And her underbelly, ears and wings are blue. Cool and level-headed, Nel is able to stay calm even under intense pressure and can easily, and coldly, kill others for the greater good without hesitation. Her façade is so solid that she can come off as emotionless. She is rather private with her own affairs and does not say more than what needs to be said. In truth, Nel's stone-faced façade is due to the melancholic remembrance of many lost loved ones as a result of her father's ambitions. Deep down, Nel is warm and caring, unlike most of her fellow Fell Dragon siblings. Having sympathized with the Alear of her world and witnessed the destruction that countless wars have wrought, Nel is protective of humanity as a whole, referring to them affectionately as "little ones."

Nel is starkly different from her fellow Fell Dragon siblings, namely her deep sisterly affection and protective streak for her younger twin brother Nil. It is due to her protectiveness that she violently lashed out at her siblings at the notion of them murdering him for her. Understandably mortified by her explosive temper that led to her slaughtering said siblings in a rage, Nel expressed uncertainty over her Father's compliments who congratulated her for slaughtering her weak siblings.

The Xenologue version of Alear was later revealed to be the subject of her affection. Their heroic, yet tragic sacrifice to end Sombron filled her with such sorrow that she effectively locked her heart to an alternate version of Alear who reminded her of the Alear she had lost. Thus, Nel has a hard time working with this new Alear initially. Most of their initial interactions are cold, especially from her end, speaking very harshly at them and throwing backhanded comments even when commending their prowess in battle. Eventually, she acknowledges that Alear is perfectly capable on their own and that, while a different individual as a whole, carries the same spirit as her version of Alear. Her sternness remains in their interactions to a degree, but she makes it clear that it is solely out of concern for Alear's well-being as a new precious ally and her desire to prevent a death of another Alear.

Even after learning that the true Nil was long dead, she sees Rafal as being her irreplaceable "other half" and willingly kills herself rather than live without him. Following her revival, she redoubles her efforts to keep Rafal safe and sees their shared Dragonstone as proof that they have genuinely become twins and equals.

Nel appears to be a bisexual person, as she can fall in love with Alear regardless of their gender. Nel hails from an alternate timeline of Elyos and is a daughter of the Fell Dragon Sombron of that world. In the alternative Elyos, all of Sombron's children were born as twins and Nel was no exception as she is the elder twin sister of Nil.

Her family was fraught with hostility and death. Similar to the Sombron encountered in the main Elyos, many of Nel's siblings died for his ambitions or were sometimes killed by his own hand for their failure. However, many of Nel's other siblings took it upon themselves to personally kill their weaker twin sibling, thus leaving Sombron with only his most capable children from the beginning. Nel was unusually protective of her younger, weaker twin brother Nil and pledged to keep him safe. Her protectiveness was so strong that when some of her other siblings mockingly offered to kill Nil themselves for her, she killed them in a rage, inadvertently earning Sombron's attention and favor for her deed. As a sign of her protectiveness, Nel gave Nil her dragonstone, promising that the would share her power and that she would always rely on him.

Despite her Fell Dragon blood, Nel defected from Sombron's forces, joining the Divine Dragon's side in the war, most notably the Dragon Monarch Lumera's child, Alear. The war ended with the death of Sombron at the cost of Alear's life as well. With no Divine Dragons left in the world, their blessings for the land rapidly declined. Life in Elyos became a struggle for resources and the four nations began attacking each other. Desperate to stop the hostilities, Nel performed a ritual to summon a hero from another world to end the war for Elyos.

Nel met the Divine Dragon Alear of her world and the two bonded, which would serve as her motivation to defect from Sombron. Nel fought fiercely for the Divine Dragons culminating in the final battle against Sombron with Alear leading the charge. By this point, Nel had fallen in love with Alear. To her horror, she witnessed Sombron and Alear kill each other in their final battle. Devastated by their death, Nel could only watch as Elyos began to decline without the influence of the Divine Dragons despite the Fell Dragon no longer having a grip on the world.

To make matters worse, the war and aftermath caused nearly all of the population of Elyos to die, leaving only Nel, Nil, and a small group of living individuals, the Four Winds, who were loyal to the Divine Dragons, left. Mysterious circumstances led to the revival of the population including the royal families of the four nations, all of which became Corrupted. These Corrupted remained unaware of their status. Due to the declining state of the world and being none the wiser to their true conditions, the four nations independently decided to wage war against one another utilizing their Emblem Bracelets to seize any resources for their people.

Horrified that the world was on the path of destruction and that some unknown force seems to be goading the four nations into a war that may revive Sombron, Nel evoked a ritual to bring a hero from another world to stop the war and reclaim the Emblem Bracelets. While it took several attempts, Nel was successful. Much to her shock, her summoned hero was an Alear from another world, one that was the opposite gender of her Alear. In her human form, Nel battles with her lance. As a manakete, she is able to transform into a dragon with a powerful breath attack.
