Clothing Style

Aelita is first seen wearing a simple green silk dress and no shoes when she is first found with no memory. Since then she's worn the garb of the guild she has joined, hers being a primarily white and green colored version. It tends to consist of tunic tops of varying styles with a long sleeved cardigan, leggings, and boots. Most of her clothing has gold colored trim, but aside from that her outfits are more durable and practical than fashionable. Upon leaving the guild after completing her training, she still keeps to a similar style but tends to integrate more plant themes, either in style or with real plants/flowers, into her outfits. She also is more free to wear other outfits aside from travel/working gear, such as simple sundresses or more ornate outfits. She tends to keep her color scheme with greens, whites, golds, along with some beige and other earthy/natural colors.

Aelita always wears a gear shaped, pale green metal pendant, although it is frequently worn tucked under her collar. It is the only personal item she had upon first waking up with her lost memory, so she holds onto it dearly and tends to hide it from others. She feels uncomfortable when others see it, so she only shows it to those she trusts.

Personality

Aelita is a down to earth and helpful young woman with a kind heart and unwavering loyalty to her friends. Those who know her consider her compassionate and empathetic. She has a tendency to be a little motherly toward people younger than her, and she's very good with children. Aelita is easy approach and talk to and is good listener, and along with her patience and observance, this makes her an eager and cooperative student. She greatly values life and the balance of nature, and she's very willing to go out of her way to help others, especially those that are weak or helpless. Aelita tends to make friends easily due to her kind heart and and overall welcoming demeanor. She doesn't mind doing menial tasks assigned to her and is very modest about herself and her abilities. However she doesn't underestimate herself once her training progresses, and she won't let anyone undermind her or her skills. It's common for others to be surprised how assertive and stubborn she can be when it comes to keeping others from walking over her.

Aelita works very closely with her mentor, Zavian, and while she is a good listener when it comes to learning from him and taking his advice, she gets very stubborn when he insists on protecting her at his own expense. She respects him for his skills and experience, but she doesn't like being treated like the dainty lady she appears to be and kept out of dangerous situations. She prefers their partnership to be more equal and anything she is advised against doing should be based off of their differences in experience and skills rather than Zavian simply wanting her to avoid getting hurt. While she does appreciate his concern, the two tend to butt heads since she will come to his aid when he needs it whether he wants her to or not.

Backstory

Aelita knows nothing of her past other than her own name and a necklace she always wears. She was found floating almost lifelessly in the shallows near a beach before Zavian Shixa spotted her and brought her to safety. Since then she has been in the care of a mildly eccentric but overall good-hearted mercenary guild. She's currently training as an apprentice under Zavian, who hopes that something in their training and on their expeditions will jog her memory.
