Illya Syphre

Illya Syphre is the half daedra daughter of Levith Syphre and Alisa. She is the inheritor of many abilities. She has arrived on Mundus to investigate the phenomena of the eternal cold. Illya doesn't know what she truly is in Mundus for.

Illya has a brother, and is related to the daedra Lyrissa and Eiriana Syphre as well, through common descent from the same ancestor. She wields the same mysterious, inhuman powers as them.

Birth and Earlier Life
Illya Syphre was born in the Coloured Rooms, as expected of any descendant of Meridia. Her early life was unremarkable at best, due to her status as a princess of where she originated from, which meant she was given a comfortable life, and grew up not knowing what was pain, or horror.

As she was a princess, Illya was given the best possible treatment that her family could have afforded her. This included seeing to her needs, while only giving her wants that she worked hard for, to inculcate the value of hard work to her. Illya made sure she worked for what she wanted, and it became a habit for her to make sure she got what she deserved.

Illya was provided with the pinnacle of education that was available, being schooled in many useful things, and an equal amount of useless things that would make her happy to know. This granted her with a deep understanding uncommon to girls of her age, and Illya has a good grasp of magical theory and scientific fact, unlike most people, even those much older than her.

Illya Syphre was also taught how to utilize a sword by her parents, and other instructors. This was to impart to her combat skills she could utilize to protect herself should she be stuck in a position where she needed to quickly take out the enemy in order to preserve her own life. As such, despite her age, Illya shows some level of proficiency with a blade.

Events of Ancient Legends: Frostfall
Illya is introduced already travelling Mundus, knowing of the cold conditions. She has no knowledge of what are causing the conditions, even though it was in her best interest to find the origin of the strange weather, and solve it once and for all. As she has not seen Mundus before the phenomenon of eternal winter struck it, Illya has no idea how the original Mundus looked.

Illya arrives at Chorrol, seeking answers. Thus she agreed to help a fellow mage, a girl named Ciel, to get to the bottom of the mystery of the eternal winter.
