Elaina (character)

"I am Elaina, a mercenary for hire, former Adept of the Light of the Grand, master of the Arcane Arts, manipulator of time and space!" — Elaina, introducing herself to the Summoner in Pursuer of the Gods

Elaina is a Non-Player Character (NPC) in the game. She is a chronomage with the ability to control time.

Debut Appearance
As an NPC character, Elaina first appears in Raid X1, asking the Summoner for assistance of a war that is taking place in the Kingdom of Elysia.

History
In Purser of the Gods, Elaina introduces herself to the summoner only to be asked for assistance, as the Gods invade the Kingdom of Elysia. Accompanied by Grandt, the party sets off on a mission to eliminate Draegar, an entity described to be part man, part machine as noted by Grandt. Being fully aware that Draegar massacred over 100 veteran mercenaries, Elaina and Grandt describe the situation as a war they cannot win and the only option was to evacuate the entire kingdom following the fall of the La Veda Republic. The ultimate resolve between Elaina and Grandt is that they continue to fight for their kingdom they consider a home, even despite there being no hope for saving it. After hearing Elaina's story, the Summoner silently agrees to help the two mercenaries, even if it meant no reward.

The party eventually makes their way to Draegar, who becomes severely wounded by the hands of the Summoner. After defeating Draegar, Elaina creates a rift to the Vortex to transport Draegar from a faraway dimension where he came from. Elaina faints from fatigue as a result, but eventually recovers as Tilith and the Summoner depart from the Kingdom of Elysia back to their home world.

Following the events of Karna Masta's defeat, Elaina informs Tilith and the Summoner that she is able to revert back in time to save Xenon and Estia. Knowing the potential dangers and consequences, Elaina proceeds to travel into the past. Tilith and the Summoner travel through the Vortex to eventually meet up with Elaina. Being protective over the Elysian bloodline, Elaina manages to bring Xenon and Estia back to life thanks to a mysterious device given by Draegar that enhanced her abilities. However, Elaina becomes incapable of her magical powers and unintentionally attacks the Summoner. After severely injuring the Summoner, Draegar appears from the Vortex doting on Elaina's incapability to control her power. The device binds to Gazia's will, as Elaina is taken away through the Vortex along with Draegar to meet her fate against Gazia.

Abilities
Elaina has the ability to bend time and space, as noted in her ability to create rifts through the Vortex. Tilith notes that the amount of power required to forcefully open a rift to the Vortex is not something a single person is capable of performing alone.

Being able to bend time, Elaina is capable of saving Xenon and Estia from their deaths in the future.
