Basics
Name: Aldebaran | Lysilla Chrysanthemum
Race: Ethaefal of Leth | Symenestra
Age: 104 years; fell in Summer 410 AV
Appearance
At night, she stands tall and regal at 5’11’’ (180 cm). Her skin is of an opalescent hue that seems to reflect moonlight. Her hair is kept long, straight and shiny, although it changes color with the seasons just like the glassy horns springing from her temples. They frame an oval face with prominent cheekbones, soft lips and a subtly dimpled chin. Her eyes are quicksilver. This form is touched by Leth, so she carries herself with pride and grace. She tends to wear flowing fabrics in the colors of the night and is fond of jewelry, especially silver.

Concept
Aldebaran can be brilliant if she has a mind. She is calm, collected and reasonable. Those features are reflected in her demeanor which tends to be sober and thoughtful. Beyond the surface, she is intelligent and calculating, a scholar at heart. What she loves most is magic and experiments. Surrounded by magic she feels at home, yet she also values ink and tomes. Knowledge is power and power is her life elixir, the holy grail. That she believes with a fierce dedication that borders on fanaticism. When she is truly wrapped up in something, she will not rest until it is finished and every detail in its place.
That said, under the calm surface lies a temper and restless nature. Whenever something refuses to follow her plan, function the way she wants it to or plain ignores her, the beast awakens. Her anger strikes like lightning and can be terrible as a storm. While it takes a bit to get her that far, she is not one to forgive and forget easily. She rarely grants second chances except to those that have earned her respect.
Despite that, getting to know her is not as hard as it seems. She is mistrusting, but only upon first glance. She appreciates intelligence, knowledge and witty humor. Because of her own nature, she understands both the light and dark aspects of personality and is often fascinated by darkness. Those who earn her respect will discover that she is incredibly loyal and protective. In her heart, however, Leth always comes first – she has loved him desperately for many past lives. She does not blame her fall on him or his lover, instead she believes the fissure to be a problem she wants to fix without quite knowing how.
History
Upon investigating traces of her soul in history, one would find a slew of past lives belonging to the one which calls herself Aldebaran now. She was, among others, a mage of some repute in pre-Valterrian Alahea. Most significant, however, is her recent past life as Symenestra.
She spent all of it in Kalinor studying magic and meticulously collecting knowledge to help her practice. Her skill grew together with her isolation from the community. While embracing the dark side, she was only consoled by the light of the moon, inspiring a deep love for his fleeting face. He consoled her during lonely hours. Eventually he gave her a mate whom she bonded with, who even brought surrogate mothers. Those children they accepted as their own. Still, she could not be the wife and mother her husband wished her to be. Despite a lack of progress, she never abandoned her practice of magic. In the end it was magic that took her life before Leth adopted her as daughter into the Ukalas.
But peace did not last long. The fissure took her and spat her into the outer sea near Lhavit. A fisher picked her up and delivered her to the gates of the city under the stars. They saw her as Ethaefal before they learned of her mortal form and so she was allowed to stay. She has lived and worked there ever since, although she hides her mortal form as much as possible.
