Crystal was beyond your average elin in terms of appearance, due to the combination of lineages that had resulted in her birth. Not only was she born with pure green hair, a trait that was rare to the races in general and even more so to the elin race, but she was also born with pure piercing red eyes. With that said, there were few, if any, beings in Sosaria with the exact hair and eye combination as her due to her lineage and race. Having a rare appearance was not all good and swell, however, as she was often rejected by other elins in the Kingdom of Gelu whom were too prideful to accept her for who she was. It was not as if she allowed such a thing to phase her, however. Her eyes, being so deeply red, were easy to get lost in. After all, it was almost as if one were looking into the pits of Hell itself when one looked into her eyes directly.

It was easy to hone in so much on the redness of her eyes that one neglected to pay attention to the surrounding features of her face, leading to them seeing nothing but red for that brief moment that they would be lost in her gaze. Her face was cutely shaped and relatively small as far as her forehead, nose, and chin were concerned. Her lips were full yet not too large, with a pinkish hue to them. She often kept them pursed together when deep in thought and would pull out a gentle smile when looking to comfort her allies. Today, she simply keeps them pursed together for the most part, having no need to really smile as of late.

Crystal is rather different as far as most of the elin race is represented. This is primarily due to having elf blood in her from a few generations back on her father's side. This has caused some passive traits to show up in her that skipped a few generations above her. One of such traits is her long green hair that extends to around halfway down her midriff, stopping before it reaches the bottom of her waist or hips. Although she wears her bangs split down the center, they cascade down the front of her face all the way down to her chin, often covering up her right eye; though she can sweep it to the side if she needs her vision unobstructed. Another trait she inherited from her partially elven blood is her piercing red eyes. Depending on the lighting, they can range from a reddish orange hue to a deep red color.

Her hair is often rough and tumble in appearance, looking as if she does maintain it what-so-ever. This leads many people to severely underestimate her abilities and status. Most find it hard to believe that she is even a member of the Trinity Council, none the less Captain of Squad Zero. Extending from the top of her head, Crystal has two fox-like ears that are the same green hue as the rest of her hair, though they range into the greenish yellow range once they start to reach the tips. The ears themselves are quite furry. Between her ears, she often keeps a kitsune mask, a fox mask passed down through the family for generations, that she will wear to hide her face and identity when on important or top secret missions, or for other purposes. The mask is white and ceramic, serving no protective purpose. It also has red markings all across it with small holes for her to see through when it is being worn. The mask has a black nose at the tip and two red fox ears.

Her teeth are relatively clean and white, perfectly straight; though this is not too uncommon for elins. Her canine teeth are much sharper than other elins, due to her fox-like characteristics. Her mask is strapped to her head by red belt-like strap that has a golden buckle on the side, holding it firmly to her head whether she slides it to cover her face or keeps it on her forehead. Either way, her mask has a very low possibility of falling off. At least, unless the strap is cut or snaps; or the mask itself is shattered.

She often wore a clean, pure-white button-up shirt that she would change without thought should it get dirty. This white shirt, like everything she wore on her upper body, served to cover her chest but left her midriff exposed entirely. After all, it was not necessarily her nicest shirt but it was not a bad shirt either. It was perfect training attire as far as her wardrobe went. She wanted to look nice while not risking ruining her better clothing, after all. She wore the shirt quite well, feeling it fit snugly to her skin while also not being so tight as to restrict her. It was perfectly fit to her body and thus good for training and combat. Much better than her tighter or looser clothing which would have hindered her in some shape or form. She could not have hindrances when fighting.

She had to be of best model and form if she was to fight properly and efficiently. She wore it completely buttoned up except for the topmost button which she had left, as she typically did, unbuttoned to give her some breathing room, especially considering she would be engaging in intensive combat on a day to day basis. She could not have her shirt choking her or restricting her, after all. She would be breathing heavily throughout combat and to have the top button buttoned up would have forced it to cling to her neck. Something she was not particularly fond of, especially given her fox instincts. The collar of this shirt extended half-way up her neck and was folded neatly outward and buttoned up at the innermost portion.

It was certainly professional in appearance, clearly designed for those who had the money to afford it. The material was nothing to scoff at and neither was the design. Though it appeared plain, the over all appearance of the shirt was something one did not find often in the world of Sosaria. Her small breasts protruded subtly from the upper-portion of the shirt, being relatively small in size. They were well-rounded, however, and she wore a light-duty bra that did its job while not restricting her too much movement-wise. It wrapped around underneath her arms but had no actual straps. However, the way it was designed prevented it from sliding down or coming off too easily. It was almost like a miniature tube-top that she wore underneath her clothing.

On the outside of this white, buttoned up shirt was her brown over-coat which extended halfway down her upper body, but not all the way to her waist, exposing her midriff in the same manner that her shirt underneath it did. This was so that it did not inhibit her movement and also so that it could be taken off without a second of hesitation, should it prove a hindrance. After all, the shorter a jacket was the less it would impede an elin's movement. It was, in fact, so short that it did not even reach her belly button. Though this was simply off by a few inches, it was still helpful to her agility and swiftness. It was not as if she would wear it often but still. It had been extremely cold in the Kingdom of Gelu and she found herself refusing to discard the jacket in case she decided to return to the kingdom.

Crystal brandished an elin headband on her right shoulder, tied prominently around her arm on the outside of her jacket. It bore the symbol of the noble Kingdom of Gelu, as most headbands of the race did, and was made from a meager silver material that shone brilliantly but was not all too durable. The material it was embedded in was a brown cloth-like material that wrapped around her arm, a bit darker tinted than her coat. On the front of her coat, on the left side, was the Gelu emblem once more which was embedded and laced in a flimsy silver-type material, making it durable, professional looking, and prominent.

Around her waist she brandished a brown belt with several pouches which held her basic tactical weaponry. She had numerous different types of weapons and wire in these pouches that could be used quite effectively in combat. She used them as moderate weapons of sorts due to the fact that she still had far more powerful weapons that she carried on her person. Her father had always taught her to make use of her surroundings and objects around her if she was lacking anything necessary. This allowed her to easily compensate for a lack of weapons should she lose them. It was not as though she really needed weapons at the moment but one never knew when they would enter combat or need them in a spar, after all. On the front of the belt was a simple silver belt-buckle as well as several holes in place for her to clip the belt or adjust it.

The belt was of moderate thickness and height, but was not too large or bulky. It was quite sturdy and durable while being somewhat difficult to remove if one did not do so on a daily basis. She could easily unclip and remove the belt with relative ease due to the fact that she clipped it on and off every day and had done so for several years now. It was not as if she was new to the whole 'belt' concept but this belt in particular was a handful for anyone not used to it. Anyone who would wish to remove it without her knowing would find such a job quite tedious and time-consuming. This was to prevent anyone from stealing her weaponry or leaving her without her pouches. The belt buckle had two clips on it which slid into the holes found on her actual belt, making it firm and steadfast. The belt also had several clips on it so that she could easily and readily add pouches or bags to it for later use.

Right below her belt she wore a brown skirt like garment that was similar in color and hue to her cloak. It was relatively short in the front, split down the sides, and extended down to the back of her knees behind her. Her butt was pert and well-rounded, extending out a good deal more than her breasts did. This was one of the main reasons she wore this skirt as her old tights that she used to wear did little, if anything, to properly hide it. She did not like for anyone to look at her butt and would even get quite embarrassed when someone acknowledged it in any way, often reacting somewhat harshly towards them in response.

Underneath the skirt was a pair of tight shorts that extended mere inches down her legs. They were a dark black color and were somewhat thin when it came down to the material. It was stretchy and clung to the skin. Her knee-high boots covered up to just below her knees and opened up a bit more toward the top more so than lower down. The boots were brown in color and were of similar hue to her coat. These boots had a slightly elevated heel which she had mastered running on and were a bit pointed toward the front. They had few, if any, designs on them other than a few swirled light brown designs here and there. The boots fit snugly against her feet and allowed for optimal running speed and performance. They were light-weight, despite their size, and hindered her very little compared to most boots.

On the top of the back of her skirt is a large loop of sorts that extends from just above her rear, an inch or two outward. This loop can hold up to three sheaths for swords of any kind, allowing for Crystal to keep multiple swords on her person at all times and easily free them from their sheath at any moment.

Growing up, Crystal experienced many atrocities and hardships which most elins in the modern day no longer had to face. It was perplexing to her how the Kingdom of Gelu could be so cruel and dark, yet end up being so calm and peaceful mere decades later. Rather than allow it all to get to her and interfere with her mind, she broke free from the constraints of anger and depression and came out a girl who was happy and content with life, regardless of how bad things could get. She was not the type to let things hurt her, far from it, she accepted everything and sugar-coated the bad, while accepting the good open-armed. Although this was difficult on anyone to do, she did it so flawlessly that most consider her the 'optimist' of the Trinity Council. Indeed, her optimism was something characteristic of her.

She is the happy-go-lucky type of person who is always ambitious and excited for new things and experiences. She is always willing to train regardless of how difficult or tedious it may be to her. Furthermore, she is more than willing to go on missions and do small jobs with little pay. After all, someone has to do it. Why not her? She undertakes low-rank missions and jobs without a second thought to it, realizing that as a member of the Trinity Council, the smaller jobs are just as important as the larger ones. She instead undertakes class 5 and class 4 rank missions more than any other, sometimes class 3 rank missions, in order to pay for whatever living arrangements she currently has. That's not to say that she does not take on more difficult missions, however, simply that she sees no need to as she often sends her subordinates on them instead to strengthen them.

She often keeps a little purse with her that is modeled after a fox, with a little furry tail and all. She often keeps most, if not all, of her gold in said wallet and carries it with her everywhere she goes in one of her front pouches. She is constantly weary of thieves and thus keeps all her most important valuables in her front pouches so that she will notice if someone tries to steal from her or pick-pocket her. With that said, she believes the only truly safe place for her valuables is on her person. At the very least, she can defend such things with her life if need be. Otherwise, she would have no such opportunity should she choose to keep her valuables elsewhere. In her home? No way! Someone could easily just walk in and take what they please when she isn't around. She was not so gullible as to trust her valuables in her home.

Crystal is extremely loyal to the Trinity Council, primarily because she holds one of the highest seats of authority among the council. Her loyalty extends to the boundaries of her morality. She is willing to do just about anything for the council if it logically makes sense to her. For example, if her values come into question she will go with her values over her loyalty. She will not kill needlessly for the Trinity Council or do anything else 'dark' or 'sinster' for it, unless it were to prevent something even more dark or sinister. She abstains from such actions or from being put in situations where she must take such actions. After all, she puts her moral values well above her loyalty. However, should her old kingdom or the council be at risk she is more than willing to set aside her values. It is only when the breaking of her values is needless that it becomes a problem for the young elin.

Crystal Kitsune is a master of magic, constantly training and honing her abilities for hand-to-hand or melee combat as well. She is far from a novice in this area and is more than willing to train. After all, she spends the majority of her time training, especially when she is not on missions. She will often train alone but will also do so with a buddy or even a complete stranger. She lives by the saying, "everything is more fun with more people" which might be an odd saying but it is certainly one that proves true when she is with her friends. Crystal is always smiling and appears to always be happy, even when she is killing someone or carrying out a dark or twisted job. She feels that if she is always happy, others may draw upon that happiness and be happy as well. She wishes to comfort those around her on a consistent basis, simply by always smiling.

As an apprentice, Crystal had always been the sort of unenthusiastic kid who liked to watch clouds. She preferred not to get involved in "troublesome" activities, pretending to be busy to avoid responsibility. She also did not like fighting, deeming it, as she did to most things, "bothersome". She was fully aware of this side of her personality. She even named herself "the number one at running away" or "the number one coward". In fact, her most commonly used phrase was always "how bothersome" or "what a drag" when it came down to fulfilling duties or doing her job. She could be quite lazy at times back in her younger years, though in recent years she had come to be much less lazy with the introduction of her many responsibilities and tasks.

Whenever duty may call, Crystal always has a strong moral compass and sense of commitment towards her comrades. Even though, by her own testimony, she lacks bravery, she will sacrifice herself and face almost certain death, for the sake of her friends and/or comrades without a second thought. Because of her raw leadership skill, she was the first member of the Trinity Council. The weight of the decisions she became forced to make as a member of the council and, thus, a part of the council's inner-working parts have caused Crystal to mature rapidly. This was most evident following the death of her master, Amatachi. She vowed to protect and later mentor Amatachi's child, so that the child could grow up to be just like Amatachi. However, she was never able to do so because her old village was invaded and Amatachi was killed in the onslaught.

Crystal's sense of duty and commitment to the future of her squad is also reflected in her willingness to take a life if it interferes with the safety of the council, even in the face of potentially obstructing her values or facing death herself. Crystal has also developed an immense sense of pride as she believes that only someone of high intellect could become the captain of Squad Zero, such as herself. As such, she refuses to die no matter what happens so long as she holds the position of captain, refusing to allow harm to befall her subordinates in her absence. Crystal enjoys playing thinking games which ordinarily only elderly elins enjoy playing. These games include things such as chess or checkers and she is actually quite good at them, as her intellect is much higher than one would imagine.

She has expressed a notably mature and modest interest in marriage and raising a family. She hopes to "marry a regular guy who isn't too ugly and not too handsome. Have two children, first a girl, then a boy. Retire after her daughter is married and her son becomes a successful mage, and spend the rest of her life playing checkers or chess. Then die of old age after her husband."

She is easily motivated by the prospect of food, and becomes highly agitated when somebody calls her "fat", especially considering she is rather far from fat. However, she does not hide her love for food and her near constant hunger is also an annoyance to her fellow friends and comrades, as eating often comes before other necessities such as stealth and teamwork. Food can also make her over-react about silly things, such as who gets the last chip, or when she is not allowed to eat something crunchy and loud even in a mission situation that requires the utmost stealth. Crystal also tends to eat a lot when she's angry, indulging herself greatly. She also eats when she is upset, often eating great amounts of food while sobbing in tears. This is ordinary for her and she often gets over things quickly after she has eaten a good bit of food. Her high metabolism truly works in her favor, allowing her to eat extensive amounts without gaining too much weight.

Crystal has a long-standing friendship with multiple elins throughout the Kingdom of Gelu, choosing to form bonds with many of the elins within the kingdom. She typically only befriends those who see past her quirky nature and oddities and understand her true nature and capabilities. Because of this, Crystal has unwavering faith and loyalty to her comrades and, if necessary, would give her life for them, without much of a second thought, if any. She is definitely the friendly type and will do her best to not anger her comrades, simply blushing and apologizing when someone gets angry with her. She is not the type to argue or lash out at others, instead keeping to herself when she becomes enraged or depressed. She doesn't let her emotions, especially negative ones, affect those around her and will often seclude herself to avoid such things.

As stated by her father and teacher, Crystal greatly lacks confidence in herself and her abilities which often times hinders her actions or even progression in some aspects. However, she easily overcomes such tendencies when the situation calls for it, especially if she has to protect or defend her comrades. With that said, she doesn't ever let her lack of confidence hold her back but instead keeps it in place as a humbling factor.

Crystal acts entirely different around her friends than her general personality would ordinarily reflect. Rather than acting out as a 'goddess-like' figure that carries out justice and judgement, she acts a bit foolish and silly. She will be extremely kind and gentle with her friends, goofing around rather often and thinking nothing of it. For this reason, the majority of her friends do not even realize that she is a member of the Trinity Council, and captain of Squad Zero none the less. She gets along rather well with those that she be-friends, trying to act like a normal, ordinary elin around them in hopes of not arousing suspicions or having them judge her or turn against her.

As far as her comrades are concerned, she acts relatively reserved but harbors strong support and feelings for her subordinates. She will do anything, even risk life and limb, to preserve the safety and happiness of those in her squad. Although she will often be silent, calm and calculated, on the inside she adores and cares for everyone under her wing.

Name: Eye of a Hawk
Class: Origin
Type: Passive
Description: Crystal is able to see through beings and objects within her direct line of sight as well as see three hundred meters past the usual extent of an elin's visual range. This allows her to see others extreme distances away, even if they are hiding behind objects.

Name: Fox Speed
Class: 1
Type: Activated
Description: When Crystal gets on all fours, using both hands and both feet, she will activate markings that were placed on her at a young age. These markings run along both her arms and legs, granting her a boost in speed whenever initiated. The speed boost granted is 200 stat points in addition to her base speed stat. However, this special ability renders her hands useless as she must use them to run on all fours.

Name: Hypersomnia
Class: 2
Type: Passive
Description: Crystal is plagued by a condition called 'hypersomnia' that causes her to feel a constant sense of sleepiness and exhaustion. This weakness reduces her stamina points by an additional 10 points for every post that she remains in combat.

Name: Magical Art: Sword Seeking Wires
Class: 4
Type: Mana
Sub-Type: Supplementary
Specialties:
- Elemental [Metal]
- Tactical Weaponry
Availability: Open
Requirements:
- 300 Control [Stat]
- Metal [Element]
Description: The user will channel a moderate amount of mana through their finger tips, molding it at the tips of each finger into a string of metal. These strings of metal are attached to their finger tips and can be manipulated freely due to the consistency of mana throughout the entirety of the wires. Once the wire is created, it can be lengthened and extended to attach to a sword or other bladed weapon at the bottom of the hilt. This allows for ranged control of the sword, redirection of thrown bladed weapons and opens the door for other combos, primarily with the element of lightning. The range of this technique is limited to the user's control stat divided by 10 in meters. What this means is that if the user's control stat is 200, they can extend the wire up to 20 meters away. The strength of the wire is determined by the mana stat of the user. If the user's mana stat is 400, for example, then their wire will have a strength stat of 400, allowing it to lift whatever weight that stat permits.

Availability: Closed
Requirements:
- Sword of Nobility
Description: This technique is used in conjunction with the Sword of Nobility. Using a combination of their own physical strength along with the control they possess over the sword, the user is able to throw the sword like a spear at their opponent. The sword itself, upon release, will fly at its target at the speed of the users strength stat plus their control stat, added together. This effectively increases the speed of the Sword of Nobility, which ordinarily moves at the speed of just the user's control stat. This speed is maintained until it changes direction, at which point it will slow down to the speed of the user's control stat once more. However, this can still be useful if the opponent is not aware of the sword's ability to be manipulated through the air.

Upon performing the incantation, the user will either extend one or both hands to release a powerful gale of wind from the user's palms. This technique, when used as an isolated attack has the power to easily knock over a human. Though the true value comes from using it together with projectile weapons or other weapons that have been thrown. Their speed, power, and ability to wound or even kill are all increased greatly, depending on the mana stat of the user. For example, if the weapon is moving at a speed of 800 and the user's mana stat is 500, then the new speed of the projectile weapon(s) will be 1300 total.

Availability: Open
Requirements:
- Wind [Element]
- 100 Control [Stat]
Description: The user will initiate this technique simply by uttering the incantation "Ventus Impetum". As soon as those two words are uttered, the user's mana will be exerted from their body and take the form of a powerful gust of wind. This is a relatively simple technique that creates a sudden gust of wind, but its scale varies greatly depending on the user. If used by a superior mage, it has enough destructive power to knock down a large tree, should the user be at least a Master. The wind from the squall can blow away all things in the user's line of sight if the user is a Grandmaster or higher. Regardless of the class of the user, the mana materializes as pure oxygen, making it highly combustible. Should it touch a spark or open flame, the entire wind will become ignited in an instant, effectively and dramatically increasing the area of effect of a fire technique.

Description:
https://i.imgur.com/EF7oAlJ.png
This technique is activated by a simple incantation. By uttering "Elini Sollertia Carnivorae Vulpes Mutatio" Crystal will activate the transformation, with no need for any movement beyond the movement of her lips. Her hair will recede into her head until it looks almost like fur before green fur will expand to cover her entire body, making her look extremely fox-like in appearance. She will then proceed to emit a mass amount of green colored mana, said mana solidifying at the ends of her finger tips and toes to form claws. Her mouse will expand to become much larger, allowing her to go as far as bite off the head of her opponent. Her eyes and mouse will glow a brilliant red hue.

In this form, Crystal is granted a massive boost to her physical attributes. However, when in this form she only able to perform "Fox Style" techniques. In this form her mental state becomes highly dependent on her fox instincts, causing her to become agitated at the slightest provocation and attack the source. While in this form, her speed and strength are increased by her mana stat initially. However, while in this form she becomes able to feed off of the mana of anything or anyone that she bites. A brief bite will absorb 50 mana points from the person, adding it temporarily to her mana point total and her mana stat for the remainder that she is in this form. If she sinks her teeth into something or someone for a prolonged amount of time, she will absorb their mana at a rate of 50 points per post.

Name: Sword of Nobility x1
Type: Sword
Specialties: 
Swordsmanship - 125
Appearance: 

Class: Legendary
Special Abilities: The Sword of Nobility has two key abilities that make it extremely deadly in combat. These two abilities include replication and levitation of the sword(s). The sword itself is imbued with a near limitless supply of mana by the True Sosarian known as Peace. This supply of mana can be used to multiply the sword numerous times in the midst of combat as well as control and manipulate it through the air. The number of swords one can control is limited to their Control stat, however, which is one sword for every 100 stat points. Thus, if one has 800 Control then they can manage to replicate the sword seven times and control all eight blades. The speed in which the sword moves through the air is limited to the exact control stat of the wielder and the distance it can go away from the user, i.e. the range, is limited to 1/20th of the wielder's Control stat in feet. The key weakness to this sword is that if the original is damaged, every replica currently in use as well as those created there after will be damaged.
Origin: The last True Sosarian, other than the four leaders, had fallen at the feet of Death. Death had led an army of the last remaining Fallen Sosarians (other than the leaders) against the True Sosarians and had succeeded in decimating the entire army of the True Sosarians. Even Death, the most powerful and skilled of the Fallen, knew that he could not defeat the four great leaders of the True Sosarians. Thus he retreated for the time being to make plans with the other leaders of the Fallen. In this time, the True Sosarians realized what would happen and were prepared to make a final world-changing decision. Peace used her massive supply of mana to create a set of weapons deemed 'The 6 Arms of Truth'. Each one possessed mighty power and abilities that far exceeded that of what any other race, outside of the Great Sosarians, could imagine. The 6 Arms of Truth were cast all across the lands of Sosaria for any race to take, hoping that one day when the Fallen would attempt to conquer Sosaria that the other races would have the power to fight back. For if the True Sosarians could not have Sosaria, they would not allow it to be trampled by the Fallen.
Materials used: This sword is comprised primarily of valorite reinforced with the mana of Peace, granting it superior durability to your standard valorite sword, which is already extremely durable. It is sharpened to a very fine extent, allowing it to slice through most materials with ease.
Requirements: The Sword of Nobility requires a Control stat of at least 500 in order to wield. If someone with a Control stat less than 500 attempts to wield the Sword of Nobility, or a clone of the sword, it will absorb their entire supply of mana.
Availability: There is only one Sword of Nobility in the land of Sosaria and may only be acquired through a special event or instance initiated by a member of staff.

After discovering this, the Elin race harvested said mana from plant life and infused it into a jug of water.

A couple had recently gotten married. Rebecca Collins and Cain Sworn. After marriage, naturally, Rebecca's last name was changed to Sworn as well. They purchased a home soon after and got settled in. With Cain being a top professor at one of the greatest magical arts schools in the country, they were easily able to afford the home. They lived happily at first, spending the first few months together in their new home. Things were not so great for long, however, as Rebecca discovered that she was pregnant with Cain's daughter, Crystal.

"Damn it, Cain! This is my body!" Rebecca shouted at her husband, a scowl on her face at the grand suggestion that she should follow through with the birth whether she wanted a daughter or not. "This isn't just about your body, that baby inside of you is my daughter! I have just as much a say in this as you do!" Cain retorted, his own faced etched with a mixture of grief and anger. "I'm killing this thing inside of me, whether you want me to or not!" she shouted, instantly grabbing a knife from the drawer to her left. "Stop, Rebecca!" Cain shouted as he lunged towards her. She was willing to risk her own life just to ensure that she did not give birth to Crystal.

She failed, however. Cain reached her in time, grasping her hand that held the knife and holding it firmly to the side, using his free hand to thrust against her forehead, gripping it tightly. "You won't kill your daughter... You won't..." he muttered, channeling mana into her brain, manipulating the core components of her brain and thus inducing artificial thoughts of his own creation. He was a master illusionist, not to be compared with any other. With a simple touch to her forehead he had forced her brain to do a complete one-eighty. She dropped the knife and dropped to her knees, shaking and sobbing. "What... What was I about to do...?" she muttered, Cain closing his eyes with a frown on his face. "Nothing, dear..."

Cain, although stricken with grief, was slightly relieved that he could sleep soundly at night without having to worry about his daughter dying. He had tricked Rebecca into loving her daughter unconditionally, though he was unsure of how long this illusion on her brain would last. For the rest of the months leading up to Crystal's birth, everything seemed calm and content enough. The two acted as if everything was fine, as if nothing had happened, and as if nothing would happen. Whether or not Cain realized his illusion would eventually wear off is unknown... But what is known, is that he cherished every moment he had left with his wife.

The pain of child birth was great and incomprehensible. Loud, ear piercing screams echoed throughout the bedroom as one of the most skilled masters of chivalry came to the home to deliver the baby. "What... What the fuck is going on?!" Rebecca screamed, grunting in pain as she struggled to give birth to the child she never wanted. She was returning from her illusion, unsure of what had happened. In the midst of child birth, she had neither time nor ability to think it through. She simply did what the monk instructed her to. "Push, Rebecca!" the monk instructed, using chivalry to numb the pain and assist the birthing process.

After a long, exasperating period of time the deed was done. Crystal was born and both Rebecca and Cain had a newborn daughter. Rebecca suffered minor injuries from the birthing process but they were healed rather easily by the monk. "Crystal..." Cain murmured, his voice cracking lightly as he had realized during the birthing process that his wife was no longer under his illusion. "Doesn't... Doesn't that sound nice, Rebecca?" he spoke with tears streaming down his face. Rebecca was completely silent, not uttering a word. It remained this way for several days until she disappeared. Cain did not search for her nor did he alert the authorities that his wife had gone missing. He knew good and well what had happened. She had left of her own accord, after all.

Even at the age of one year old, she was still extremely quiet and silent throughout her days, spending most of her time sleeping every chance she had to do so. Even though a full year had passed, not much had changed in her life other than the fact that she was slightly larger and growing more and more. She was now a slightly chubby baby and seemed as though she could not get any larger in terms of her general size. However, this would only stay like this for so long. Crystal would always play around with her rattle and toys that her father provided her with, swinging them around and sometimes using them as weapons.

That is, when she was actually awake. As previously stated, the young Crystal Kitsune hardly spent much time at all actually awake. It was only when she had completely restored her energy through sleeping that she actually got up and played. She got along well with the other babies and would often befriend anyone who was willing to get close to her. At least, that was the way it seemed as she was still too young to talk, especially fluently.

"Awwwe! I'm so proud of you, Kit!" Cain congratulated his young daughter as he watched the two year old Crystal waddle across the room at a brisk pace, monitoring the young baby's stance and stature as to be there for her if she should fall or stumble. "Come, Yuki! Look!" Cain shouted from across the home to his current girlfriend of the time, whom rushed to the room, a grin spreading across her usually serious face as she caught a glimpse of the little two year old elin waddling right before she fell onto her hands and knees.

"That's incredible! It's so natural to her!" she said, obviously surprised that she was able to simply walk so abruptly and yet do it so well. They rejoiced as they admired Cain's daughter's newly found ability. Though it was such a simple thing to walk, they were more than proud of the young elin and celebrated that night. Crystal was more than happy to participate in the celebration as it meant she could drink juice and have fun with her father and his girlfriend, whom she was growing quite fond of. She was quite intelligent for a two year old, after all. Already learning that familial relationships were vital to one's upbringing.

This was not the only accomplishment that came almost naturally to Crystal at the age of two, however, as a few months later she uttered her first words. These words were so simple yet an astounding display of her intelligence as a baby. "Where... mama...?" she would utter the words in the broken language of a toddler, asking such a simple question to her father, whom felt tears trickle down his cheeks. It was not as if it could be helped. Rebecca had wanted nothing to do with her daughter, it was simply how things were, but it still caused Cain to despair whenever he was forced to think about it. Despair over his motherless daughter. Despair over the disappearance of his wife. Despair over so many things...

Cain finally stood up and went and got Yuki, bringing her to the room rather quickly. "Mama!" Crystal would shout repeatedly until she was lifted up into the air, cradled in Yuki's arms. She would continue to squeal the word she had just recently learned to the woman that she believed to be her mother, unknowing of how happy hearing the word made her father's girlfriend; as well as unknowing of her actual mother, or her location. Although she had just learned to speak, she was already tossing the word around the more she grew, knowing exactly what mama meant and using it accordingly to address Yuki whenever she needed her.

At the age of three she was learning more and more how to speak, now having learned how to say papa and other mundane words in order to illustrate to her parents more efficiently what she needed and wanted and when. It made life on her parents much easier now that, rather than crying, she would simply tell them what she needed or wanted. It was a simple system and one that usually came later in an elin's years.

It was extraordinary that her ability to communicate was advancing so rapidly and quickly that she was able to hold small conversations with her parents and others. At this point in time, most of her 'playmates' were unable to speak all too well or even know what they were really saying, even if they could speak, so she found herself a little lonely at this point in time as her intelligence had proceeded to pass her playmates'. She was no longer on equal footing with them and it was a lonely life to be so far above those around you.

When Crystal was around seven years of age, her father Cain's girlfriend had already left them on their own for another man. Crystal, although missing her, had already learned that Yuki was not her real mother and that her real mother was somewhere out in the world. Ever since learning of this detail about her mother, she had decided that one day she would journey and wander across the land of Sosaria in search of her real mother... She did not have the full details regarding her mother or her mother's reason for disappearing but she was determined to one day find her and ask her everything that was on her mind.

One day Crystal was playing around with a sword that her father had given her when she was approached by her father, whom bore some news. "Kit...?" he said, waiting for his daughter to reply. The young elin fiddled with her sword a little more before turning to glance at her father, blinking in surprise as he was usually out doing jobs at around that time. "Yes, father?" she said rather politely, looking back to the weapon in her grasp. Cain paused for a brief moment before approaching his daughter slowly, sighing a little. "Your mother has gotten in touch with me... You have a brother." he told her somewhat bluntly. Crystal's eyes suddenly widened with surprise, not only at the fact that she had a new brother but because her mother had contacted them. This was invaluable news to her.

Crystal suddenly came to a standing position, resheathing her sword in the holster that dangled from her right side. "Where's mom?" she questioned her father, turning to look at him with a slight hint of excitement tugging at her facial expression. Cain sighed as he probed his mind for where she would probably be. "Well..." he said, looking away for a moment. He quickly recited the address of the place she was currently residing without thinking, before pausing. "But you shouldn't-..." he broke off as he turned his attention back to where Crystal was just standing, only to find that she had disappeared already. Cain sighed and scratched the back of his head, looking up towards the roof of his home. "That girl, I swear... I hope she'll be okay..." he whispered.

Crystal shot down the street at lightning speed, running as quickly as she could towards the address that her father had given her, hoping and praying that she would make it in time to meet her real mother. The young elin brushed past the people in the streets, hearing them grumble and yell over the sound of the pittering and pattering of her feet meeting the ground. 'I must... make it in time... she thought to herself, looking ahead as she saw the residence that matched the address her father had given her. Crystal started to speed up, running even faster as her sense of excitement took over her mind, pushing out her sense of exhaustion.

Crystal did not even so much as knock as she burst through the door, swinging it open and barging into the home of what was supposed to be her true mother. What caught her eye was something truly disturbing. Crystal's hand instinctively drew her weapon from its sheath, readily raising it in front of her as she got into the proper form for combat. Although she was only seven years of age, she had been training most of her short life in the art of swordsmanship. She would be able to, at the least, hold off what she saw. The winged beasts that had torn her mother's body to shreds. By her side was what appeared to be another winged beast, though it was evident that he too had fallen victim to the winged beasts that loomed over them. In her mother's arms was a baby boy, crying and wailing for help as one of the winged beasts approached him.

"Get away from him!" Crystal would scream at the top of her voice, the winged beast flinching as his eyes darted to focus and hone in on the young girl. "You... are... elin?" he spoke in broken Sosarian, his voice a bit high pitched and piercing. "I have... no purpose... in kill you. I no kill." he uttered, his blue eyes charismatic yet disturbing. "I don't care!" Crystal yelled, stepping forward. "That's... that's my brother!" she shouted at the top of her lungs before lunging at the winged being, catching the beast off guard as she ran him through where his heart should be with her sword. The beast coughed up blood as she slid her sword out of his chest cavity, letting his corpse fall to the ground. The other winged beast screeched a high pitched noise which brought Crystal to her knees.

"Kill!" the angel would screech as it slowly approached Crystal. "Kill! Kill! Death!" it screamed as it came upon her. Crystal looked up at the being, covering her ears in an attempt to muffle the noise. The beast brought back its clawed hand and prepared to slice through Crystal's jugular but suddenly froze, unable to move. "... Angels..." a new comer muttered, Cain. "Vicious. Violent. Powerful." he sighed, entering the room with tears streaming down each of his cheeks as he laid eyes on the bloody mess before him. "Highly susceptible to illusions..." he whispered, as he leaned down and picked up the baby boy. "S-s-sabo..." Crystal's mother muttered, clearly still alive but barely. She groaned one last time before finally reaching the end of her life.

"Sabo..." Cain whispered. "Everything will be okay." he told the baby as he approached Crystal and helped her to her feet. "Let's... go home, Kit." he told her in a calm, gentle voice. Although they returned home and despite everything that happened, Crystal did not cry and did not shed a single tear over the event. However, when she learned that her mother had been killed for having a child, Sabo, with an angel, she slowly but surely grew a hatred for her brother.

Upon reaching the age of ten, Crystal had begun training in the magical arts, primarily involving the elements. She started out with the element of wind, learning it and how to use it from her father, Cain. He was her master and the one who trained her in the magical arts for several years. After all, it was something that was passed down through the family for generations. Mastery over elemental magic was a trait of the Kitsune family that involved intense training and practice.

"Nicely done, Crystal!" Cain praised his daughter as she reduced several training dummies to shreds with her mastery over wind magic. He was honestly astounded at how quickly she had mastered the Magical Art: Blade of Wind. It was a high level magical technique that even the most skilled of the Kitsune family had trouble learning. "Did I do good, father?" she asked, a grin etched across her face as she looked to her father for more praise. "You did wonderful, dear!" he told her, offering more praise without a moment of hesitation. Although he did not want her to get too cocky, he could not simply lie to her and downplay her achievements. She was truly skilled and it was important to let her know that she was improving at an astonishing rate.

Soon enough, Cain began to teach Crystal the element of lightning, showing her how to mold and transform her mana into the element and how to properly utilize in combat. Within a mere few days of training she became capable of utilizing the element and after several weeks she was even able to paralyze Cain with her magic. They would spar from time to time and it was getting to the point where Crystal was not only able to hold her own against her father but, at times, was even able to best him in magical arts.

After several years, when Crystal finally reached the age of thirteen, Cain decided that she was ready to learn an advanced element and knew exactly which one fit her best. Due to her combat prowess and expert abilities in swordsmanship, he taught her the element that had been passed down the Kitsune family for centuries. The element of metal. It took her two years to finally master the element, easily incorporating it into her combat style and using it to mold and manipulate her weaponry as she fought. Now fifteen years old, she was already a master of elemental magic and was widely considered a master of the magical arts.

By the time Crystal had reached the age of eighteen, the Kingdom of Gelu offered her an invitation to join the military as a special operative, in charge of covert operations. She accepted the offer and went off to travel the land of Sosaria, taking on covert missions and jobs as a part of her occupation. While in the special operations unit of the Kingdom of Gelu, she picked up many types of weaponry as well as many skills and specialties that she did not previously possess. After several years of working with the Gelu military, she was proposed as the first member to join the Trinity Council. She was quickly accepted and became the captain of squad zero.
