[edit] Background Story

Since Abelia comes from the Chronicles of the Sword mode, her canonicity is disputed.

Abelia was born in the family of a known officer of the Grandall Empire. When she entered the academy, her natural talent was quickly recognized. She came to accept the praising and respect and eventually it pleased her, leading Abelia to believe that was her rightful place in the world.

Then a new recruit came to the empire. Without her talent, story or culture, he/she was another soldier on the group. But he/she showed something appealing, that could not be learnt or bought.

She recognized her sense of justice as only a feeling of superiority and the pleasure of being recognized. She felt a part of her heart break apart.

But when war broke on the Empire, she took her weapons and headed on her own will to protect her own justice, even if she was assigned to the same cadet who overshadowed her.

Abelia fought with her teammates to fend off the Dalkian forces, until the unit was ordered to attack the Halteese republic as well. Abelia stayed behind and kept her attack on Dalkia, until she reached the last line of defense. But at that time, all her soldiers were defeated by Dalkia's elite force. Still she kept her position until the player returned from Maletta during Chronicle 11. Abelia rejoined the team until Dalkia's fall.

A year later she was once again assigned under the Cadet's leadership, this time against her former master Girardot, now a rebel. Even though he was her teacher, she held no belief in what she did as being wrong. Abelia carried out her orders against Girardot until his demise.

Then the Cadet himself/herself rebelled and formed the Arthias rebellion. Abelia was chosen to stop him, believing once again that she was on the correct side. But once the player defeated her, she understood the real threat and joined him/her once again.

[edit] Weapon

-- Eternal Rest

A sword and shield used by Abelia to carry on battle. Possibly a gift from her defunct father. The shield's design is the one used in the "Spiked Shield", one of Cassandra's extra weapons. This weapon has special effects as well. Eternal Rest is a bit stronger and has the ability to increase its strength as time passes making every connecting attack more dangerous than before. The shield seems to be made of weak metal, as guarding attacks will decrease Abelia's health.
