Liladene

Liladene was the 4th trainee that Averello and AlwaysTrue raised, after Skaia, Meredelle and Sunrise- and she was INSTANTLY the favorite.

Not only was her meditation dazzling in color, her heals were an empathetic shower of light- something the alchemists of the lair had been working on.

Her attitude is charming and entertaining, and training her was an absolute delight. She even managed to get Averello to speak, and towards the end of her training (levels 17-20) they were sad to see her go, even considering furthering her studies into level 25. Her potential is boundless.

From the beginning, she stood out from all the trainees. She seemed to be the first to know what to do, to make marked improvements at record pace. She quickly focused on knowledge and intelligence, and her very first move that she learned was heal. Although clumsy at first, healing insignificant 10's and 30's of HP, the weary warriors were charmed by her efforts.

As she matured into levels 8, 9 and up to 14, she continued to place all her heart into increasing her intelligence. Her healing went from cute to significantly helpful, and they reached new lengths and records in battling. Averello and AlwaysTrue had never seen such enthusiasm in a pupil nor joy at training.

Not only did she heal unlike anyone Averello or AlwaysTrue had seen (and Skaia, their 2nd trainee, had come close at 82 INT) she invested in intelligence aquity stones and bumped up her intelligence by an extra 3 points. This selflessness and determination to support their training of her really touched Averello and AlwaysTrue's heart. They even felt greater sorrow than usual when she exhausted herself only to heal them, and watched as they continued to fight with her blessings. In this manner, they fought more than just bosses, but managed to defeat CHAINS of bosses.

While the last trainee, Sunrise, was a passive observer to his own growth- taking twice as long as the enthusiastic leaders Meredelle and Skaia- Liladene leapt through levels in a matter of days.

Somewhere along, she picked up ambush to be even more like her teachers- at a steal of only 6000 treasure! ( as opposed to 35000 ) This aided her in meditation and healing even more. In fact, she would clamor to be first, in order to heal them for as many turns as possible. Even more so, she picked up discipline to have a chance of healing both of them. Her selflessness combined with determination truly touched their hearts, as they were used to taking damage and carrying along deadweight.

Towards her later levels, and the end of her training- where it usually took longest, her intelligence surpassed any of those in the lair. She was healing them faster than enemies could give damage, and this gave Averello and AlwaysTrue the inspiration to take her to the Golem Workshop- a place they were afraid to go themselves even with a strong party of three.

To their surprise, her healing and their strategy manage to lead them to great victory unlike any they had seen before, where before they would die after only a few fights in the Golem Workshop. To their delight they returned with many treasures and drops that seemed to come out of the blue, when really, they had managed to defeat many enemies quickly and with ease due to their symbiosis.

At the Golem Workshop, her personality truly shined. She revealed to be more than just a silent helper, she had her own quirks and sassiness! Sometimes she would sit down in the middle of the battle and meditate for no reason, and Averello and AlwaysTrue would love to complain and tease her- but they knew they were never in danger, and she always healed them with the most refreshing spells. Sometimes she would ignore them and just heal herself- just for fun, even though all trainees knew their death was victory for the team. She had her own agenda, which made her so delightful and entertaining, unlike the faceless many that Averello and AlwaysTrue had trained before.
