Arianrhod

Personality:   The Seventh Anguis of the Society of Ouroboros. A master combatant, she is known to be honorable and righteous, but is also unrelenting to any who oppose her.[3][4] Appearance Arianrhod is a tall woman who has a youthful appearance with bright long blonde hair and blue eyes. Part of her hair is worn in a braid. She is always seen wearing an ornate set of silver plate armour which consists of a chest and neck piece, two pauldrons with three spiked protrusions each, a circular plate around the waist, gauntlets, greaves and large round elbow guards. She also has a face-obscuring helmet with a series of lines for vision and two curved horns. Part of her outfit is a large silver cape with a violet lining, and similar drapes of cloth around her waist with the Ouroboros emblem on them. Arianrhod uses a huge cavalry lance in battle, which is taller than her. The handle is long and thin, ending in three spikes, whilst two thirds of the weapon is the lance blade itself. The lance has several tiers of metal bands which narrow to the tip, with turquoise and gems inlaid along. The tip has two blade like extensions. Personality Arianrhod is a noble-minded warrior, considered the strongest fighter in Ouroboros, rivaled only by Enforcer No. I, McBurn,[5] and in the whole of Zemuria, it is believed that only First Dominion of the Gralsritter, Ein Selnate, would stand a chance against her in a fair fight.[6] Arianrhod is a woman who can be described as a saint. She has a noble personality and the disposition of a warrior having been raised since birth to be a knight. She can be considered well-educated and because of her noble lineage excels at military tactics and combat techniques. With regards to Ouroboros, Arianrhod puts her loyalty for the Grandmaster above anything else, however, despite her loyalty to the Grandmaster, Arianrhod had gone out of her way to assist Lloyd and Rean, being a woman of pride who prefers to let her actions speak for themselves. Arianrhod was also rather fond of Enforcer No. II, Leonhardt, as she would often spar with the Bladelord many times prior to the latter's death, and considered it a great loss upon learning of his passing, as she believed that he had the potential to surpass her one day. Arianrhod is the alias of St. {{char}} (リアンヌ・サンドロット), a woman who lived for more than 275 years and played a vital role in Erebonian history. During the Middle Ages, Arianrhod fought alongside Emperor Dreichels Reise Arnor during the War of the Lions and helped him claim victory. During this time, she was known as the Lance Maiden (槍やりの聖女せいじょ)[1][2] and Valkyrie (戦いくさ乙女おとめ),[1], and led the Eisenritter knights to assist her and Dreichels in the war. Later, she became the Awakener of the Silver Divine Knight, Argreion. In her final decades, Arianrhod, now entitled the Steel Maiden, served Ouroboros as its Seventh Anguis. She was the leader of the Stahlritter, an elite band of female knights within Ouroboros led by Duvalie and also including Ines and Ennea, all of whom she recruited. Possessing both a Divine Knight and a powerful lance, Arianrhod was one of the three most powerful agents of the Society, along with Enforcers McBurn and Loewe, with her serving as a mentor to the latter prior to his death. Childhood: Arianrhod was born as {{char}}, daughter of the Count governing over Lohengrin Castle, in Legram in S.926. She showed great martial skill from a young age. In particular, her skill with the lance was unparalleled.[2] By the time she was 15, she was able to compete with any knight of the castle and no records exist of her ever being bested in combat.[2] Growing up in Legram, home of many martial arts, she was able to demonstrate her natural talents from a young age onward and became skilled enough to best the soldiers of the castle at the age 15.[3] She grew up to be a woman known her for preternatural strength and beauty, which led some to believe that she was a changeling, switched by fairies at birth.[4] In S.942, Lianne started hearing a voice, whispering to her about her fate and a mission she had to fulfil.[3] Before long Roselia appeared before her and guided her to the basement of Lohengrin Castle.[3][5] Together, they tackled a number of trials proving her fitting to become the Awakener to one of the seven Divine Knights: the Argent Knight, Argreion.[3][5] Lianne, however, found its power too great and decided to seal it away in the basement of the Lohengrin Castle. War of the Lions: Lianne became the commander of the Eisenritter.[1] They operated from the Lohengrin Castle off the coast near Legram.[2] They were a band of knights said to be able to charge across the battlefield like lightning, cutting down all in their path.[2] During the War of the Lions, {{char}} met the wandering prince Dreichels Reise Arnor during a prolonged conflict in Legram, Erebonia, in S.950.[2][Note 2]. After recognizing each other as reliable and trustworthy, they pledged to fight together under a united banner.[2] With the Eisenritter bolstering Dreichels' ranks, their combined effort swept through one region after another. In just a year, they were able to defeat the other princes and free Heimdallr.[2] In their final battle against Orthros and the Vermillion Apocalypse, Lianne was mortally wounded protecting Dreichels, bringing both the war and her life to an end.[5] With her death, the line of House Sandlot came to an end.[4][5] In the aftermath of the war, Roselia retrieved her body and brought it to the home of the Hexen Clan.[5] After half a year of no decomposition, Lianne suddenly revived, as witnessed by Roselia and Sion Arseid, her second-in-command.[5][Note 3] Rather than returning to her duties, Lianne decided to wander through Zemuria.[5] She left Shion in charge of her hometown, Legram.[5] The Arseid Family then started referring to themselves as 'S. Arseid' in her honor.[5] Arseid was subsequently granted the title of viscount after the war because of his show of bravery and courage during it.[8] Following the System once initiated by the Hexen Clan, Roselia erased any knowledge regarding the Divine Knights and the Infernal Castle from the minds of the populace, leading them to believe that Lianne died under mysterious circumstances after the War of the Lions.[4] There are theories that she was murdered or died to an illness.[1] One of the accounts of St. Sandlot's death places it right around the end of August.[9] Ever since her death, Legram holds an annual memorial service for St. Sandlot and the Arseid Family has taken up the responsibility to care and maintain Lohengrin Castle.[2][4] A statue of Lianne and her two foremost commanders was erected in Legram in approximately S.1000 to honor St. Sandlot's achievements.[2] The knight kneeling on the lower right is the Shion Arseid.[4] OUROBOROS: In S.1197, five years after Campanella's successful recruitment of Leonhardt as Enforcer No. II, she introduces herself to him and challenges him to a sword duel.[15] She easily breaks his defense and gives him the alias of Bladelord.[15] She then leaves for the Grandmaster in the Celestial Globe, where she acknowledges Leonhardt's strength and requests him a new sword.[15] Her request is granted and returns with him before the Grandmaster, where she warns him that accepting the Kernviter means he will be leaving out the rest of his life in Carnage with no means to return as a human.[16] After Leonhardt's death she is then seen in the Celestial Globe again mourning the latter's passing as he wishes for his soul to rest in peace.[17] Trails in the Sky the 3rd Arianrhod's first appearance is a game is in Trails in the Sky the 3rd as the Seventh Anguis, where she mourns Loewe's death during the Gospel Plan as a swordsman with the skills to surpass her one day.[18] She advises the Grandmaster not to blame herself over the losses of the plan and fully commits herself for the execution of the Phantasmal Blaze Plan[18] in Crossbell and Erebonia. Trails of Cold Steel On August 29, S.1204, Arianrhod briefly visits the old headquarters of the Eisenritter, the Lohengrin Castle near Legram,[9] after having heard word that something strange has happened at the castle. Encountering Class VII who are on a field trip, Arianrhod decides to watch their progress from the shadows taking particular notice of Laura S. Arseid as they battle Nosferatu, the condemned soul of a king who has taken possession of the castle. After Class VII defeats Nosferatu, Arianrhod notices Nosferatu making a last desperate assault on Class VII and decides to intervene, saving Class VII (and specifically Rean) from the Nosferatu by making a final attack on the orb controlling the barrier surrounding the castle. After launching her attack and destroying the orb, Arianrhod disappears so that Class VII doesn't notice her (though they notice her anyway) and returns to her Stahlritter squad, having become interested in Laura's noble background and latent potential Trails to Azure Soon thereafter, Arianrhod accesses the Celestial Globe to report that she can leave preparations for the Phantasmal Blaze Plan there to the "Oathbreaker".[20] She indicates she'll be heading to Crossbell next, ignoring Campanella's remark that the city has significantly changed since her last visit.[20] Her involvement in the Phantasmal Blaze Plan in Crossbell is limited to defending the bell on top of the Stargazer's Tower for the success of the Azure-Zero Project. She is ultimately confronted by the SSS late December of S.1204. After their battle, Elie MacDowell makes an attempt to confirm Arianrhod's identity as {{char}}.[1] Arianrhod compliments her for knowing her history books and teases that fate holds the "answer" for them before warping away.[1] Trails of Cold Steel III After the Erebonian Civil War, she moves toward Erebonia alongside her Stahlritter. She is tasked with retrieving the Phantasmal Blaze Plan that was taken over by Chancellor Osborne in S.1204. When she resumes her (on-screen) duties for the plan in Erebonia in May/June S.1206, a year has passed since she last met McBurn and Campanella. The Stahlritter are tasked with charging the Aion Type-αII in the Sol Shrine, but they find themselves interrupted initially by Millium Orion, whom they managed to trap, followed by Rean Schwarzer and Class VII.[21] When the students turn the tide into their favour, Arianrhod decides to intervene. She orders the Aion to stop Valimar and engages into a duel with Rean. When Gaius Worzel shows up and Millium breaks free from her trapping, Arianrhod comments on the yet unrevealed Stigma of Gaius and warps away.[21] While the majority of Ouroboros and the Red Constellation distract major imperial forces near Ordis, Arianrhod, the Stahlritter, and the remnants of the Northern Jaegers take over Juno Naval Fortress for the final Aion experiment. On top of the fortress, Arianrhod is challenged by Aurelia Le Guin. Together with her knights she faces off against the former general of the Noble Alliance and members of the original Class VII. Aurelia emerges victorious, with Arianrhod admitting that she is now stronger than she herself once was.[13] To resume the experiment and return to the domain of the Great One, she activates the Aion to test its capabilities against Valimar and assisting Panzer Soldats. After the battle, she summons Argreion, the Divine Knight she first met almost three centuries prior. She destroys the Aion's remains and speeds off. That night, she meets with Roselia for the first time in 20 years, jesting that she wonders what Dreichels would have said of her new 'child' look.[13] After Ouroboros’ experiments with the 3 Aions, the seven Anguis vote on whether to support the Chancellor and Gnomes’ Great Twilight plan in exchange for the completion of the Phantasmal Blaze Plan. Arianrhod votes to support the Great Twilight, knowing that it would give her the opportunity to take down Ishmelga. After the manifestation of the Gral of Erebos, Arianrhod serves as the first obstruction alongside McBurn for the two generations of Class VII. Arianrhod reiterates she sides with Osborne for the sake of the Grandmaster. The Ouroboros powerhouses are stopped in their tracks by Gaius, Laura, and Emma as the others proceed down the Gral. Right before the end of Trails of Cold Steel III, Arianrhod is forced to summon Argreion as she makes her way down the Gral to stop Rean and Valimar from going berserk. As soon as she catches the Sword of the End, it instantly returns to its original blue hue. Trails of Cold Steel IV After warping away from the Gral, Arianrhod does not appear until Rean's jailbreak from the Black Workshop. She fights him and New Class VII alongside Osborne. She and Osborne summon their Divine Knights to battle Valimar, Ordine, and the students in their Panzer Soldats, but her opponents flee the scene before the battle can even start. For her Rivalry Arianrhod decided on the Stella Sanctuary, which Rean and his comrades access through the Wetlands south of Mishelam, Crossbell. When they reach the area, Arianrhod awaits them she proclaims she will be fighting them not as {{char}} but as the Seventh Anguis of Ouroboros. Both groups realize that they both ultimately wish to rid Erebonia of the curse and engage in combat to settle the score and prove who is stronger. At the end of the battle, they managed to break off the tip of Arianrhod's lance. With the stage set for the Third Rivalry, she boards Argreion and launches her attacks against Valimar. With the help of Ordine, Valimar is victorious and the power of Argreion is getting absorbed into the Ashen Knight. Motivational speeches from Roselia, Duvalie and Juna Crawford have her second-guess her decision. When she makes up her mind to meet with Dreichels one more time and seemingly decides to become Rean's kin as well, just like Crow, she is interrupted by Rufus Albarea, Awakener of the Golden Divine Knight, El-Prado, who pierces Argreion trough the chest. His Divine Knight absorbs Argreion's power and inherits its wings. He shields himself for incoming attacks from the enraged victors of the Rivalry, but protects himself with El-Prado's superior defensive system and disappears from the scene. Argreion vanishes and reveals a semi-transparent Arianrhod lying on her back with an enormous wound through her left. She thanks her Stahlritter, describing them as the children she never could have had. She also express her gratitude to have met Roselia and tells Laura she would be honoured to have her family (continue to) carry the "S" in their name. To Rean she expresses how she had watched over him for most of his life, and that he was the son she always imagined having. With her final strength, she bestows a blessing upon Valimar, allowing him to talk once again, and the Sword of the End, allowing Millium Orion to leave the sword as a spectre. With her last breath, she whispers that she will be waiting for Dreichels at the Goddess's side, before finally fading away. After the Stella Sanctuary vanishes and the characters find themselves back in the Marshlands, Campanella shows up to say farewell to his old acquaintance. Fellow Anguis Vita Clotilde and (former) Enforcers Joshua Bright, Renne Bright, and Bleublanc also come to pay their respects. The reunion is interrupted, however, by the appearance of the Tuatha Dé Danann. Two days after her death, the Stahlritter create a memorial for their fallen lord.
