Eltia (EntityTopic, 21)

From Compile Worlds

Eltia is an original character created by Keiji who appears in Subete PuyoPuyo, debuting in episode episode 18 (but not having her name and background revealed until episode 19). She is a dark mage and has become Ringo's doll familiar, which will likely spark off all sorts of conflicts between Ringo, Draco and ??? later on.

Elaborate backstory

Although Eltia is a dark mage, she simply wanted someone (who wasn't another dark mage/elemental/affinist) to accept her for what she was. Therefore, when she found out about Ringo's curse of being attracted to various other characters 3/3Draco CentaurosArle NadjaNondescript Minion, she decided to help Ringo out by changing the curse to attract Ringo to herself (since the curse is a type which can never be removed, even though its target can be changed). The way she did this was to conjure an illusion of a Ringo-sized version of herself, which took enough power that the real Eltia entered a dormant state. The illusion would then hand the real Eltia, passively but conveniently acting as a lifeless doll, to Ringo.

Although it may not seem like it, her decision to become Ringo's familiar was a conscious, intentional, sane and unpressured one. It was a big gamble - she had given up her soul to Ringo, and for all she knew at the time, she could just as well have given her soul up to someone who would use her for all sorts of unwanted things. However, it seems that her gamble paid off, though we have yet to see how and when Ringo will decide to use Eltia's powers, or even become able to for that matter.

The next night, Eltia used a little of her remaining power to give Ringo a strange dream where she enticed Ringo to "stay with her". It didn't have immediate effect, but Ringo did eventually begin wondering about it and very slowly managed to wake Eltia up for a short time. During this time, Eltia explained some of her secrets, discussed the subjectivity of evil and warned Ringo that she would likely cause some great conflicts later on. After that, she fell back to her dormant state. It seems Ringo has not yet realized, but in order to properly wake Eltia up, she must "be stronger".
