Arceus Saints - Elyssa

In the beginning, Lord Arceus was all alone. He began to tire of the Abyss and created the first Life, a tiny Mini-Mew. He named her Athena Sophia. He grew fond of his new companion and decided that, to prevent his little one from being lonely, he would create more. Sophia in her joy at the Lord's decision evolved into a Mew. Using the discarded energies of her Evolution, Arceus made three more Mini-Mews; Stelliyana Galatea, Elyssa Brigallia, and Trystys Ariadne. Revelling in the joy of His Creations, Arceus decided to Create a new World. He spun Time and Space into two jewels. As motion began, he breathed life into three other Beings. The Beings of Willpower, Emotion, and Knowlege. With the assistance of these Pokemon, the Lord continued to Create new life forms. First, he birthed the Pokemon now known to Man as the Legendaries. Each was given a role, a piece of his World to rule over. As more energy was spent, the Lord Arceus felt himself growing weaker and more weary. Finaly, he pushed his remaining energy into the Jewels of Space and Time halving his Soul into each and laying his Original Body into deep sleep. The four Saints watched over his body, locking it away into the Temple of Origin where they eagerly await his awakening.

Elyssa Brigallia is the second youngest of the four Saints. She has a much more aggressive nature than her sisters. She started her life as a chubby little Mini-Mew, but when she evolved into her Mewarias form, all her weight was transfered into muscle. She is MUCH larger than her sisters. While they are the size of sleek panthers or Cheetahs, Elyssa is the size of a large, powerful lioness. Her strength in and love for battle has earned her the title Saint of War, and many humans prayed to her in olden days, hoping that her spirit would bless them in battle.

Elyssa's size has brought her much sorrow as she sees herself as atrocious, a giant among nymphs. She once had a mate, but he left her before her litter was born. All four kittens were stillborn. Because of this she despises being dependant on anyone.

When Arceus fell into his Sleep, Elyssa grew angered. She cursed His Name and left to find her own way. It was during this time that she met her former mate.

In her Human Forme, Elyssa relishes in battle and carries a broadsword which she has named Foebane. Her armour is decorated with the crest of Arceus. Her own symbol is tattooed on her left shoulder.
