Description
Alielle is a prominent supporting character in the anime El-Hazard: The Magnificent World, known for her close association with Princess Fatora of the kingdom of Roshtaria. Her background establishes her as a member of the lower nobility within Roshtaria, and she has a twin brother named Parnas. She is distinguished by her youthful, attractively proportioned appearance, characterized by purple hair, rose-pink eyes, and a small pink diamond-shaped tattoo on her forehead.
In terms of personality, Alielle is defined by her open and unapologetic attraction to beautiful and strong-willed women. She is explicitly portrayed as a lesbian, and in the original OVA series, her role is that of Princess Fatora's lover and devoted concubine. This devotion often manifests as enthusiastic participation in Fatora's elaborate schemes to seduce or sexually harass other female characters, with particular interest shown towards the fire priestess Shayla-Shayla and the earthling Nanami Jinnai. Despite this seemingly frivolous side, Alielle is not without depth; she harbors a fear of being alone or abandoned, which can cause her to become frantic when separated from her companions. When not under the direct influence of Princess Fatora, her personality shifts to become more capable and loyal, though she remains a self-described oversexed individual.
Alielle's primary motivation throughout the story is her devotion to Princess Fatora, whom she loves seriously. This love drives her actions, from aiding in the princess's personal plots to risking her own safety to rescue her. When Fatora is kidnapped at the beginning of the series, Alielle returns to the royal palace and, after some confusion, becomes a key ally to the protagonists Makoto Mizuhara and his teacher Mr. Fujisawa. Her role in the narrative is that of a guide and knowledgeable companion. She is ordered by the court scientist, Dr. Schtalubaugh, to accompany the party to the priestesses of Mount Muldoon, ostensibly to observe Makoto's supernatural powers and report back. In this capacity, she serves as a tour guide for the lands of El-Hazard, using her extensive knowledge of the realm's history, politics, and geography.
Key relationships define Alielle's interactions with the rest of the cast. Her relationship with Princess Fatora is the most significant, with Alielle acting as a sycophantic toady and willing partner in crime. She also develops a notable dynamic with the fire priestess Shayla-Shayla, whom she frequently attempts to fondle due to an infatuation with her red hair. Her relationship with Makoto is unique; she is attracted to him only when he is disguised as Princess Fatora, even knowing that a man is beneath the royal robes. In the TV series continuity, The Wanderers, where Fatora is largely absent, Alielle's lesbian traits are toned down, and she acts more as a traveling guide ordered to observe Makoto, even teaching the history teacher Mr. Fujisawa about the world.
Alielle does not undergo a dramatic character arc, but her portrayal varies significantly between different adaptations of El-Hazard. In the original OVA, she is almost inseparable from Fatora and her mischievous, sexually aggressive nature. In later series like The Wanderers, with Fatora removed from the picture, Alielle is presented as a more competent and less troublesome individual, though still possessing a free-roaming love of women. Regarding her abilities, Alielle possesses no magical powers or notable combat skills. Her talents lie in her intelligence and knowledge. She is an ingenious amateur sociologist, highly knowledgeable about the history of El-Hazard, and skilled in navigation. She also demonstrates the practical ability to fly Rostarian ships.
