Caera Denoir is an Alacryan noble of highblood Denoir who becomes interested in Arthur and forms a party with him to go down into the Relictombs. She disguises herself as a male ascender named Haedrig at first, but is later exposed after the events of the Mirror Room. She and Arthur become coworkers in central academy and companions in ascents in the relictombs as she witnessed him obtaining the relicarmor and speaks with a Dijnn remnant. Later during the victoriad, she watches Arthur cripple Nico, kill Cadell, and then escape from Agrona.
Later she learns of Arthur's true origins is from Dicathen and decides to participate with Seris against Orlaeth. She is a part of the full scale revolt against the Vritra to help Arthur against Agrona, to save Alacrya and Dicathen from the war with Epheotus as it will burn them all as fuel for the fire with Kezess Indrath. Later she is sent by Seris to the Dwarven city of Vildorial in Dicathen to bring Arthur back to Alacrya so he can help them. However, she was betrayed by one of Seris's allies, another student, and was almost captured by Dragoth but she succeeds in escaping to Dicathen. Caera is then imprisoned by the lance Bairon Wykes when she arrives in Dicathen until Arthur returns, who is absent, from Vildorial.
Unfortunately, when Arthur arrived in Vildorial, he was summoned to the Hearth by Avier to meet with Aldir, Mordain and Wren. Arthur entered the Aether Realm to revive Sylvie and gain his third layer in his Aether core, this took two months as the aether realm is disconnected from the real world. During this time the dragons arrived as a part of Arthur's and Kezess' deal to protect Dicathen; Caera was tortured by a dragon named Vajrakor who is assigned as the guardian of Vildorial. Arthur came with Varay and frees Caera from her imprisonment. She embraces him and then slapped him as she was angry at him for leaving her for two months. Arthur accepts her anger and apologizes that he did not know she was waiting for him.
Caera watches Arthur tell Vajrakor to back off as Arthur, along with Varay, take her to heal and rest. Then Caera, Chul, Sylvie, Regis and Arthur depart to Alacrya.
Appearance[]
Caera has red eyes and midnight blue, almost navy hair. Arthur describes her as statuesque while Regis describes her as gorgeous with a pair of large breasts.
After entering the zone of the Four Clans, aka. the winter zone, she revealed her crown shaped dark horns indicating her awakened Vritra powers.
Haedrig[]
As Haedrig, Caera looks like a slim man with curly moss-green hair and deep-set brown eyes.
Personality[]
Other than her deceased brother, Caera has had no connections up until meeting Grey. Because her brother often took her to the Relictombs, she goes into them for her own enjoyment nowadays. She has no interest in war or glory of war with Dicathen, knowing it is a self serving conquest, as she does not enjoy killing those who did not hurt her thanks to her mentor's teachings. Like Seris, she sympathize with the Dicathins for the suffering they went through because of her people being pawns in the Vritra and the Asura conflict. She shows respect to those who catch her interest, like Grey.
Background[]
Caera was born into a family with Vritra blood. After being verified as having Vritra blood traces, she was adopted by Highblood Denoir, a family that was supposed to raise her and train her. However, due to the pressure from the Vritra to keep her safe, her relationship with them was always on the edge. She could only feel at ease with her brother, who would even sneak out with her to train. When her Vritra blood manifested, she trained with her teacher Scythe Seris; Seris gave her two choices: she could either tell her family about her powers and be sent to the Vritra to be experimented on and turned into a soldier or she could hide her appearance and skills and keep living as the protected daughter of a highblood. When Caera chose to hide, the Scythe gave her a relic that could change her appearance, hiding her horns as well as making her look like Haedrig.
She was a graduate of the Central Dominion Academy.
Relationships[]

Caera knows about Grey's ability on using aether instead of mana to some degree, indicating his level of trust towards her. Although Grey refuses this, saying that he is confident that he could easily silence her if she tries to betray him. After talking with Seris it is shown she has some romantic feelings or a sense of attraction to Grey, as pointed out by Seris during their meeting. Grey goes into the relic tombs together with her. He also took her to the place where her brother died to which she is deeply grateful for him. In their ascent she witnesses him obtain the relic armor and talk with a djinn remnant peeking her interest about him further.Later their relationship became distant after the victoriad as he cripples nico, kills Cadell and escapes from Agrona. Later she discovers his true identity is from Dicathen from Seris after the battle for the Vildorial. She is conflicted because of his lies but decides to forgive him and partcipate with Seris against Orleath then in a full scale rebellion against the Vritra before Agrona and Kezess burn the world to the ground. Later Seris sends Caera to gain Support from highblood and to Dicathen with another student but the other student betrayed them almost capturing her with Dragoth but she succeds in escaping to Dicathen to retrive Arthur.
