One of her most used disguises is that of Malena, a wood
Elf supposed part of the
Elven Rebels. Malena is a graceful woman with long red hair that clashes compared to Ysera's usual guise. No accessories or jewelry enlight the beautiful feature of the wood elves beside a red scarf complimenting the color of her hair, and another of a darker shade serving as a belt, making the dress more fitting in an attempt to have a wider range of movement.

History
Dawn of the Dragon Gods
In Toriel's ancient past,
Alexstrasza, her brother Dralad, and her younger sister Ysera were the only three survivors of their clutch. Ysera was sick and smaller than average, and Alexstrasza watched out for her. However, Dralad died, his body found by Alexstrasza.
Like the other dragons of that era, Ysera would gather under the command of Talonixa in response to the threat of
Zuth. Zuth, a primordial dragon afflicted by a disease, grew stronger with every dragon he consumed.
She believed that peace could made with Zuth. When Ysera was given a chance to speak her idea of peace, Alexstrasza was worried about Talonixa's reaction. But when Ysera stood up to talk with Talonixa, treator used this occasion to join Zuth.
Malygos witness of the betrayal and subsequent devouring by Zuth, would return to the others only to find Ysera and Talonixa in conflict over the fate of those afflcited by the disease. Talonixa advocating that the infected would have to be quarantined or killed for the safety of everyone else.
As Zuth commenced his assault on the dragon army, the three dragon gods—
Bahamut,
Sardior, and
Tiamat—observed the conflict with keen interest. In due
Time, Malygos found his way to Alexstrasza and Ysera. Malygos afflicted by the disease briefly succumbed to the hunger for flesh, attacked Ysera. However, thanks to Alexstrasza's intervention, Ysera managed to snap Malygos out of his frenzy. Subsequently, Malygos was cured through direct intervention by Bahamut, who bestowed upon him a blessing against the disease.
Alexstrasza, Ysera and Malygos joined with
Nozdormu and
Neltharion, two other powerful dragon, to hunt Zuth once and for all. Forcing him to retreat in a cavern were all five dragon, except for Ysera, began the battle against Zuth, who had grown larger and even more mutated than before.
With a flap of wings, Zuth called up a massive wind that scattered the fighters. Ysera suddenly appeared and Zuth attempted to devour her, but Neltharion silenced his laughter with a mighty blow, pulled Zuth to the ground and began to mercilessly beat him even as Zuth began mutating further.
In the battle, Zuth ripped Neltharion lower jaw, Malygos moved to save him, examining the bloody mess as Zuth roared in triumph and grew ever larger. This bolstered the fighter, that, in a final attempt to protect everything they held dear, and blessed by the three dragon gods, banished Zuth from existence.
After such a feat, the five dragons were blessed with godly power and agreed to protect Toriel. By channeling the power of the three dragon gods, they were able to ascend to godhood themselves.
During the war of the ancients when the demons opened a portal to the material plane to allow their armies access to the world of Toriel, the dragon god congregated at the lair of Alexstrasza to discuss the coming invasion and what part they should play in defending the world. Neltharion proposed that to end the invasion of demons, the dragon gods should create a weapon with which they could eradicate the
Demon armies.
All the dragon god contributed a bit of their power in creating the
Dragon soul with the exception of Neltharion. Through the disk, Neltharion was able to magically take control of all other dragons including the other three dragon gods.
The dragon gods and their dragon kind flew toward the demon armies. The dragons awaited Neltharion's first attack. He grabbed the Dragon Soul and by channeling his destructive power through it destroyed thousands of demons with one swing of radiant
Magic. The dragon gods watched in horror as Neltharion also killed some of their kind and other allies along with the demons.
The dragon gods tried to stop Neltharion. Silver dragons surrounded Neltharion in an attempt to take the Demon Soul from him. With a single command, they were engulfed by the magic of the Dragon Soul and were pulverized.
A swing of the Dragon Soul paralyzed all dragons and the dragon gods in mid-air, rendering them unable to move or speak. Neltharion then struck out at the dragon gods, scattering them far across the land. With the help of this power, he captured Ysera's sister.
