Elisheba Polemistís

Elisheba Polemistís (エリシェバ ポレミスツ erisheba poremisutsu) is an elven duchess appointed to the Kingdom of Daedalus and a native of the country Iceburg as a member of the northern Elven tribes of the continent. After having left her colony in her early years of adulthood, Elisheba started her own adventure which would eventually associate her identity with people such as Spirit Slayer Gai Diyos and infamous Mystan Prince Mago Hogi. Though haven't really travelled all over Ishgar as she originally planned, her journeys have led her to the Kingdom of Daedalus which she joined in order to rocket up the ranks through loyalty and patriotism of the Grand Duchess, a rank that Elisheba values greatly. A skilled swords-woman and a proficient mage, Elisheba is one of the very few elves from her race that have gained attention for their combat ability rather than their diplomatic and intellectual skill which Elisheba also excels in. This has also made Elisheba a woman to be greatly feared and respected by her fellow comrades and enemies as she has been known to cut down one or the other without mercy and hesitation thanks to her ruthlessness.

A natural born fighter, Elisheba is renowned in her Elven tribe as one of the strongest and most fierce warriors to ever take up arms in their name, as well as being the only elven woman to even joining their ranks. Having spent most of her life in combat, Elisheba is a dangerous opponent as her mass experience as a fighter and soldier have formed her into the warrior that she is today, that even the men from her village cower from a single whisper of her name. Having mastered her swordsmanship and hand to hand fighting, which she usually combines with the use of her magic, Elisheba has earned the honorary title of the Dreaded Demoiselle (ドリアデッド デモイセル doriadeddo demoiseru), a name that Elisheba holds with pride. This title seems to be known throughout the Elven colonies all over Earth Land, making Elisheba well known around the world by her fellow Elven kin therefore also being well known to be as terrifying as those who have met her say. Using this to her advantage, Elisheba uses the Dread Demoiselle name to provide aid in her journeys and stops as the fame and fortune that she has received from this name and title have awarded her not by just the respect of her kind but as well as their fear of her.

Being a Duchess from the Kingdom of Daedalus, Elisheba is one of the more fearsome members as she has been compared many times with the country's leader. This however does not mean anything to Elisheba who sees Alexander as a worthy and more terrifying opponent to face as her swordsmanship alone wouldn't be enough to take down the hailed king of Daedalus. A well regarded leader and skilled diplomat, Elisheba runs well as a Duchess for her kingdom and stands by the King of the Kingdom of Daedalus with her swords unsheathed and her aim ready to attack those who dare position themselves as hostiles to the wellbeing of the kingdom. As one could tell, Elisheba is quite proud and patriotic to her faction, wanting the best to come out for her side and to fight with all she has. The name Warrior Woman (ワリアー ウォマン wariaa woman) is actually a name that was awarded to her by the subjects of the Kingdom of Daedalus, having recognised Elisheba for her grand skill and capability as a warrior rather than her political skills as a politician. This however can prove useful to Elisheba as there are very few people who have recognised for her intellectual side and so do not expect the complete destruction she will unleash due to her strategic thinking and fantastic control over her magics.

Appearance
Elisheba is one of the more normal looking elves, standing at a height of 195 cm nearly as tall as a two metre deep swimming pool. She has a slim but firm body shape, that of a dainty woman combined with that of an amazonian, showing that she is both fierce and distinguished. As she was not built for strength, Elisheba is built for agility and so retains a pretty slim body figure to provide extra weightless movement. Snow white locks flow down from her head and drape down past her waist. Like nearly every elf in existence, her ears are pointed upwards and is the most notable and obvious aspect of her natural body that is proof she is from elf origin. Her pale complexion is as if the sun has never touched her, sort of resembling a banshee for she both looks like a ghost with skin as white as hers. Her chin and jawline are nearly as sharp as her blades, and her red lipsticked lips sit well on her mouth hough never seem to move from their natural, undisturbed serious position. Her eyes are shadowed with a heavy amount of black makeup, bolding out her eyelids as the smokiness of could represent the smoke that erupts from her furious optics. A unique trait that she has to others is that she always retains a fringe to hangover down the side of her face and cover her right eye.

Her coat is something off a uniform fit for a winter general, complete with a brown material that is printed with a variety of curly whirly details that just give the coat it's regal look. She will rarely ever wear the coat properly, and so is seen most of the time with the sleeves by her side empty and her arms protruding from the middle of the article of clothing. At the end of her coat sleeves is golden coloured material that has a artisan flair to it's design. The coat flows down to around the middle of Elisheba's shins, though despite being extremely long doesn't seem to stop Elisheba from completing super agile moves like leaping, running etc. Six gold buttons are stitched into the right side of the coat opening though like before said when Elisheba doesn't wear her coat properly most of the time, these buttons will rarely be used. Her shoulder pads are made put of gold metal with golden tassels made from material, and bears strange Elven language. Black fur is used to complete the coat at the neck opening, with a few white strands dotting the outfit here and there. It is also on here that her many medals of honour are held up in place, set there to show off her military status to those in her presence as the medals continue to roll in.

Her proper outfit consists of a white, collared dress that has four parts going on the front, back as well as both sides. This white collared dress is detailed finely with golden print along with golden metal armour that is stitched onto the dress which is somewhat traditional for highly ranked elves in the Elven military. on her arms she wears black leather gloves that are nearly skin tight if it wasn't for the cuffs, which they themselves has a bit of golden medal attached onto the ends as a way of adding more regality to Elisheba's outfit. Her bottoms are of brown pants, matching the same sort of brown that is used for her big, winter coat with the same sort of design that is printed on, as if she had stolen the same material for her coat to make her pants. Her boots are very big for her figure, as golden metal that cuffs the end of the boots and protrudes upward from the middle act as a sort of main defence when kicking. The boots is made of black leather with golden buttons and other details that stream down the side. But what is pretty notable about Elisheba's foot wear is that it is high heels that is bottomed with the same golden metal. Though this makes manoeuvring difficult as a warrior, Elisheba shows no problem doing extraordinary leaps and the likes in them.

Personality
She is a natural born commander and military woman, able to quickly and wittily command legions of men with her loud and intimidating voice. When calm her voice is that of an angel's, but when forced to resume her commanding form she is that of a feminine demon, striking fear into the hearts and souls of men with a single word. She is a role model general to her many troops, exemplifying the importance of teamwork and comradeship, as well as the importance of strategy and skill on the battlefield, highly valuing a soldier's worth to see if they are capable of serving within her legions or squadrons. She is very critical when it comes to soldiers, and will only accept those who prove their loyalty, skill and determination to whatever her superior officer's standards are. She is not nice to her soldiers, and by this she is not some caring mother looking after her children, but a simple general looking over her troops to make sure that they serve the military dutifully. One law applies to her and her troops: "Survival of the fittest" as she believes that all men placed under her authority have the capability of taking care of themselves, even without the aid of their beloved general.

Besides her intimidating appearance, Elisheba really is a kind and soft hearted girl hidden away in the deepest chambers of her heart. She only wishes that she would gain the respect that she so thinks she deserves, explaining why she had become a military general in the first place and a highly respectable member of the Kingdom of Daedalus. There are many quirks to her personality that not many know about: she is the typical white girl who enjoys talking about gossip, make-up so and so, as well as having the ability to develop crushes on those she likes. When having developed a crush though however, she isn't very open about it and acts like the traditional tsundere whenever she is around them. Her preferences are still unknown. When those that she can truly trusts however, Elisheba can act very friendly and generous when ever they are around, even when in her military persona. She generally tends to keep this side of her personality hidden as to not expose her weaknesses to those that could abuse and use it against her to get what they so want. This is of course denied whenever working within the Kingdom of Daedalus as to retain her terrifying reputation and evil like persona that is thought up by the people that she may lead.

When fighting, Elisheba is someone who usually relies on dodging rather than taking in the attacks according to her strength and agility. This makes fighting with her reasonably difficult as explained by other mages, for her agility allows Elisheba to escape most difficult circumstances. She is quick when she strikes, using her speed to her advantage and potential as she strikes down her foes with the quick jabs of her blades. She fights sadistically, wanting to cause as much pain as possible on her opponents as a reminder to why that they should not fight with her, and not to mention the things that she can do with her magic. Most of her magic spells are majority of attacks that have a special effect unique to them that can help Elisheba cause as much pain as she wants on her victims. Because of this however, exploits her ability to defend and projects herself as someone more useful as an offensive unit rather than someone who can take in damage. Being an elf and all, Elisheba primarily focuses on mastering and attacking with her magic, thus allowing her to gradually become better and better at the magic she practises. This dedication and determination is what defines her of her magical expertise.
