[edit] Appearance
Even by Fairy standards, Elfaria is extremely beautiful, as commented by Odin. Her blue and purple wings are very similar to a butterfly's and are roughly larger than the rest of her body. She wears a green dress with bulging shoulders that well displays her prominent chest, and her blond curly hair is quite long. She also wears a wreath of flowers as a crown.
[edit] Biography
Elfaria's nephew Melvin spent most of the early stages of the storyline attempting to convince her of the need to mass-produce Belderivers, though she was unwilling to do so due to the curse on the weapons. She appears for a short while in Gwendolyn's story, where the two women exchange insults before Beldor arrives with Belial. With her last words, Elfaria told Mercedes to be strong and to not seek revenge. She expressed her regret over leaving the burden of being queen on the young shoulders of her daughter, but expressed her faith in her daughter before passing.
[edit] Personality
Elfaria is a singular example in the story of a strong monarch who is genuinely not evil or filled with greed (Mercedes acts similarly when she becomes queen). She was not interested in controlling the Crystallization Cauldron to increase her own power, unlike Odin, but to protect her own lands. She holds Odin in contempt for his destructive ways, vowing to punish him for them during their encounter in the Cauldron War. She also is a rather courageous woman, despite the hopelessness of the situation she shows no fear against Odin until he revealed his Psypher Balor and demonstrated its power.
She disliked Melvin's plans to mass produce Belderivers, fearing the curse on them, and was struck by some dismay when Melvin revealed he had Oswald kill the dragon Hindel. Though sparks occasionally fly between the two for their conflicting ideals, especially on psyphers, she does seem to trust her nephew, entrusting Mercedes' safekeeping and support to him should the worst happen to her. Unfortunately, her trust was misplaced.
[edit] Abilities
While she was never seen using it, it is likely she was skilled in using her Psypher bow Tasla. She never had the chance to use it during the storyline however, as Elfaria allowed Mercedes to use her bow so she could hone her skills by hunting frogs, which ultimately proved to be her downfall as she was unarmed when facing the power of Odin's psypher during the Second Battle of the Cauldron War when the Demon Lord invaded the Vanir's forward headquarters.
[edit] Trivia
- Elfaria's true name is Fimbulvetr. In Norse Mythology, the Fimbul Winter marks the beggining of Ragnarok, which would be Armageddon in Odin Sphere's storyline.
