Description
Lafiel Abriel, formally named Abriel Nei Debrusc Borl Paryun Lafiel and holding the title Viscountess of Paryunu, is a central figure. Born in Imperial Calendar Year 935 as the granddaughter of Empress Abriel Frybac Ramaj and daughter of Abriel Dubeusec and Plakia Lexshue, she stands third in the imperial succession. Her unedited genetic composition contributes to her capacity for emotional expression, including shedding tears at significant personal losses.
Her royal status enforced isolation during childhood, with peers addressing her only formally, fostering loneliness. A pivotal moment came when her father humorously suggested her genes included feline DNA, a claim she initially believed, causing childhood distress. This familial dynamic, coupled with uncertainty about her maternal origins, influenced her decision to join the military at age 13. In training, she demonstrated exceptional aptitude in marksmanship, zero-gravity jousting, and small arms combat, advancing rapidly.
Lafiel combines assertiveness with a strong sense of duty, exhibiting a brash, action-oriented approach that often favors confrontation. Her association with Jinto Linn, whose reserved nature provides counterweight, balances this trait. Despite her royal status, she rejects arrogance, preferring not to leverage her title and striving to earn respect through merit. This drive propelled her military career from Pilot Trainee to Rear Admiral, assuming commands as Captain of the *Basroil* and later leading fleets like the Training Fleet and the Fleet of Thunder.
Her foundational relationship began with Jinto Linn, whom she met while escorting him to the capital; he was the first to treat her without royal deference, forging a close bond of mutual loyalty. During their mission aboard the *Gosroth*, the ship was attacked by United Mankind forces. Ordered to abandon ship to protect Jinto, Lafiel reluctantly complied, initiating a perilous journey. This included an encounter with Baron Febdash Klowal, whose sexism and hostility sparked her orchestration of a station rebellion, resulting in Klowal's death—her first combat kill, highlighting her strategic ingenuity and resolve.
Stranded on the occupied planet Sufugnoff, Lafiel faced unfamiliar terrestrial challenges, relying on Jinto for guidance. This experience, alongside subsequent military operations like Phantom Flame and Hunter, facilitated her maturation. She evolved from a headstrong officer into a commander cognizant of responsibilities toward subordinates and allies, demonstrating leadership during complex fleet engagements.
Key personal traits include her infamous "deathly smile," directed only once toward Baron Klowal, symbolizing lethal disdain. She favors consuming apple wine with honey or peach juice with lemon and reacts tersely to jokes about territorial exchanges involving her domain. Her legacy includes proposals by former vassals for a personal royal guard, though such plans remain unrealized.
