Here's my version of Countess Anise (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

As version my version of her is roughly 135 at the start of the personal story. She is the daughter of a Krytan commoner, and was born roughly 100 years after the foefire. She quickly rose through the ranks of the shining blade, but at 30 she was cut down during a mission with Lady Caligo (who was disguised) and Livia. She begged them both to not let her die, and to help her, that she wasn't ready yet, she still wanted to protect Kryta. Sadly, despite their efforts, she passed away due to her wounds. Livia turned to Caligo, and begged her to raise Anise. Once she did raise her, she gave her a single command, to protect Kryta. By Lady Caligo both not exerting her will over Anise giving her such a broad command, Anise was able to both keep her mind, and do whatever she though was best for Kryta. Afterwards, she spent years training under Livia to make her illusions nearly undetectable to hide her true appearance.
