Kidalia
Countess Kidalia Abiseul Stalaris
Stumbling pretty much blindly through life, Kidalia does her best to keep the tragedy of her past behind her, though it always finds its way back to the forefront of her mind. She constantly finds herself mentally weighed down by the innocent blood on her hands, on top of all she had to suffer at the hands of Ymblet Ponity and his family. Something about her past, however, feels warped to her.
Maiden Name: Brigea
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Being pretty bone-thin and light, Kidalia usually hides under layers of clothing and armor, partially out of simple protection and partially out of insecurity. She may be weak in terms of her physical strength but makes up for it in her agility.
Physical quirks
Scars litter her body, with the most prominent ones going across her face, neck, and one spanning from her stomach and up across her chest towards her collarbone: said scars being caused by Panya Vilo and Hilda, respectively, under circumstances manipulated by Ditris.
Specialized Equipment
Maple Rose sickle; Glacier's End scythe; Twilight and Rosewater arquebuses.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
After being abducted from her home some time in her early childhood, Kidalia spent most of her life on the Ponity farm, near the south-western borders of Mercy. She grew up isolated, treated as just a farm animal, and as something for Ymblet, Myrdin, and Nasir Ponity to take out their frustrations on. After they were killed in what she remembers as a displacer beast incident (as told to her by her close friend, Liberty), leaving Kidalia the only one in the household alive, she took to caring for the farm herself, as farming was all she knew; her lack of education and her isolation left her clueless about the outside world, finding it terrifying.
Believing her biological family to be long dead, Kidalia took to using magic to change her hair and eye color, as well as taking up her mother's name to try and start her life fresh. She was given an opportunity to take a well-paying farming job in the small compound of Tylwaer, which she took without much hesitation. After moving in and learning of their highly-religious customs, she was struck with the effects of a powerful cast of Suggestion, leaving her ignorant of the true, shady dealings of the town's 'ruling' body. She lived in such ignorant, working bliss up until she was rescued by Hilda, Tau-Wal, and Kriko; she was, however, scarred with memories that she has told no one about.

Education
Kidalia received some minimal, formal education before her abduction. Thus, she resulted in guiding herself through life trusting the word of those closest to her, for better or worse, for knowledge of how things are.
Employment
- Former farmhand on the farms of Tylwaer.
- Former farmhand for the Gilven Family.
- Current Countess of Vitrois.
Mental Trauma
Having been through abandonment as well as varying abuse, Kidalia has been left with a variety of issues, including alcoholism; said alcoholism not being helped by her sensitivity to alcoholic drinks. Nightmares haunt her on top of flashbacks during the day, prompting potential panic and sudden mental breakdowns, only making it harder for her to get close to people. However, when she ends up truly close with someone, she ends up clinging to said connection with a death grip.
Kidalia has died twice directly in front of her wife, causing her to grow more clingy over time. She has also publicly executed her father for his crimes against the citizens of Vitrois as well as herself.
Taboos
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
To protect her family, especially her wife and son.
Virtues & Personality perks
Usually strong-willed, though it can easily be crushed in many situations. No matter what goes on in her head, Kidalia does her best to keep those around her happy, though sometimes to a flaw by sacrificing her own happiness for others.
Vices & Personality flaws
Alcoholism plays a decent role in Kidalia's life, though she has decently learned to live with the urges that come with avoiding drinks. This still, however, causes her pain- physically and mentally. Mix this with being quite stubborn, and you get the occasional chaotic night where her drunken state pretty much can lead to an existential crisis.
Social
Religious Views
Originally intended to be brought up in a home that worshiped Ithys, any chance of true worship of Gods left with her experiences of being controlled by the Goddess Ditris in Tylwaer. While she normally will at the least respect deities that have done no wrong to her, she never goes out of her way to actively pray and worship, though this is ever-so-slowly changing thanks to help from Mila.
Mannerisms
Motions plenty with her hands while speaking. The more excited she is about something such as a topic of discussion, the more she constantly moves and the more she waves her hands around while speaking.
Speech
Decently thick country sort of accent. Primarily results to Sylvan curses while frustrated or annoyed, on top of being much more comfortable speaking in Sylvan rather than Common.
