Elise Relevart


 * "I guess I’m a bit of a hopeless romantic."
 * ―Elise Relevart, speaking to Dante during the first chapter of War Of Hearts.

Elise Relevart, also known as Eli, is the main protagonist of Blue Rose and War Of Hearts.

Appearance
Elise stands a few inches over five feet tall.

Elise prefers dark colored clothing, loose fitting but clothes that are more conservative than provocative. She always has her messy hair down in Blue Rose while it's waist length with no bangs. It isn't until War Of Hearts that she gives herself bangs and cuts her hair just a couple inches shorter than her waist. She also begins wearing it in ponytails, buns, and braids.

She also has a tattoo of a blue rose just behind her right ear.

Her normal attire or the attire she's seen in in the first chapter consists of a dark colored blouse with the sleeves rolled up, wearing ripped jeans also rolled up and some plain sneakers and funny colored socks as noted by Dante in chapter 2.

She wears a charm bracelet gifted to her by her mother, she has 6 charms as of War Of Hearts, the 12 charm and pink carnation flower gifted to her by her mother. Dante gifted her the E letter charm (at 12), a sunflower, a butterfly, and a blue rose charm.

Elise also has a slightly long necklace with her initial and a shorter necklace that looks like a cross or the top part of the king chess piece.

Also later in War Of Hearts, she's known to be wearing an engagement ring and a wedding ring, as well as Dante's wedding ring around her neck on a longer necklace to hide it, signifying their married status and her hiding it from him.

Personality
Elise is said to be very conflicting. She wants what's best for everyone and is very patient but can also become aggressive and is almost easily provoked. She tends to try to stand up for everyone, no matter the cost as shown in Saving Kat. Elise enjoys making fun of people and is known for being innocent at times yet smart and witty.

She attempts to keep her mood happy and light-hearted and often succeeds. Her upbringing was mostly happy until her mother left and she felt abandoned by her and her father. It made her feel alone in the world and she now feels like she's all she has to protect herself from ever getting hurt again by anyone, Dante and Kat included.

History
Elise's mother was always doting on her and she never knew her father, something her mother had always said was to protect her. As she grew up, her mother taught her lore and mythologies which would eventually come in handy. On her twelfth birthday, her mother went to get a birthday cake and disappeared, only leaving a message for her to hide. She took her bow and arrows and a bag and set off before the demons arrived.

Finding herself in Limbo, she soon encountered Dante who had been roaming and waiting to gift her some bracelet charms. She got him up to speed and told him about how her mother had disappeared because of demons, he then decided he would help her hide from them. For three weeks, they hid and kept a low profile and he taught her how to use a sword and what he knew about fighting until Asmodeus found her and ordered her to erase Dante's memories of her. Elise fought back until he threatened to hurt Dante so she erased the memories.

For years she trained under Mundus' order with Asmodeus, Lucifer, Azazel, or Ramiel, each of them teaching her their specializations. Then she adapted to what they called her, Abaddon, and her violent tendencies began. After she turned 16, she needed cuffs to protect both her from herself and her guards. The cuffs subdued her power and she learned how to use Abaddon to her advantage without killing everyone on sight.

Elise had a garden made so that if she needed to roam that was where she could do it, she also had a small place where there were nothing but weapons so she could train in the courtyard. Every year, she would conjure up an illusion to what Dante looked like, sounded like and acted like.

Blue Rose
Mundus summons Asmodeus to get Abaddon to hunt down the one thing standing in his way; Dante. She's set free and easily finds him due to the hunter. Once she sees Kat trying to help and defend him, Elise allows them to escape, leading to Asmodeus questioning her decision and Mundus not allowing her to leave until the next day.

After that she begins meeting Dante and Kat in Limbo to help kill demons and get closer to killing Mundus, even going as far as telling Vergil when she meets him that she "knows he wants to kill Mundus" and that she's "on board". It was thought that Mundus was her father and she had been wanting to escape imprisonment for years.

At the end of the Bob Barbas boss battle, Dante and Elise see the Order's hideout being raided by SWAT. They make their way back to the hideout and successfully make it inside through Limbo where they help Kat hide until they come across Vergil in one of the many server rooms. When he fails to save the backups in time, the door is busted down and Kat is captured leading to them leaving the hideout and finding somewhere else to hide.

Vergil couldn't be less concerned about getting Kat back while Dante and Elise are. It leads to the twins thinking about exchanging Elise for Kat to which she openly objects. Later on, Kat is saved, Mundus is defeated and Vergil announces his plan for them to rule over humankind which Kat, Dante, and Elise openly disagree on. When Dante cannot convince his brother that it isn't right, they decide the only way to settle it is a sword fight to the death. While Dante almost ends up killing Vergil, Elise notices Azazel's presence and as she's questioning him, Vergil opens a portal. As he begins stepping into the portal, Azazel snaps Elise's neck and kidnaps Kat under Vergil's orders to make his brother suffer as a backup plan.

War of Hearts
In War of Hearts, Elise is always attempting to compensate for Kat not being there. She's known to always be out looking for trouble and avoiding Dante. She's seen to be giving him directions as to what part of the city to try and free up from demons next. As the story progresses, she's known to be very awkward around him because of her growing one-sided feelings and begins a relationship with him that she knows will end up with her feelings hurt.

Elise often says to Dante that she knows he wishes she had traded places with Kat because of his hatred of demons and her demonic heritage as well as his own.

In the end she begins dating a guy named Theodore Alistair, a complete gentleman and ladies man, he attempts to woo her and partially succeeds. They begin dating, for a few months everything is smooth sailing until he finds out she was cheating on him with Dante and threatens to kill him. Elise leaves from her weekend getaway with him and returns home where she confesses to Dante that he's all she can think about and how crazy it's driving her.

Theodore attempts to make good on the threat the next morning where he pulls Elise out of bed and shoves her against the wall before attempting to kill Dante. She then gets angry and gathers his attention before ripping his heart clean from his chest. She and Dante clean up the body.

Next arc of the story, another female is introduced, Lana Belle who is a full angel and begins dating Elise shortly after Theo's death. For a while, Lana and Elise are able to keep it from Dante until he stumbles upon them one day. From then on, she confesses her feelings for him to Lana who says she doesn't mind and that it doesn't matter.

Not long after that, Elise realizes she's expecting and she and Lana split amicably for the baby's sake.

Months later they are shown to be friends and once she gives birth, she takes on a role she was forced into for months, leaving Dante in charge of their daughter.

Enchanted Daggers
Elise owns knives that are enchanted so they always come back to her, they're tied to her by blood magic made up by her mother and Asmodeus. Each of the daggers has a different given name, signifying who the princes of Hell were and their original owner. Their order of lineage being Cain, Azazel, Ramiel, Dagon, Asmodeus, and Abaddon as the order of that they were owned and born. They are heirlooms from Asmodeus' side of the family and only 6 exist.

Heirloom Katana
In Ivelisse's family, they all each own weapons passed down and made tailored to their children just after they're born. Elise was no exception, she had a Katana made with a deep purple scabbard and cover and it was displayed in her bedroom since she was born. It had enchantments on it to only be able to use by Elise or someone related to her closely in blood.

.357 Revolver
Elise's revolver, once her mother's, is an enchanted gun that never seems to run out of bullets. It appears like a normal gun to a human and it appears as if she loads with ammunition but that is just an illusion to throw humans off.

Enchanted Bow
A bow with blue and silver swirls shows her alliance to the royal family of Relevarts. Created by Riley, it was enchanted to never run out of arrows and to be able to change ammunition according to the user's will.

Chameleon Snake
A snake that wraps around Elise's upper arm (see Izzy's snake in Shadowhunters) It changes color and carries different poisons on hand and can be used as a whip or can wrap around someone's throat and choke them out if it's desired by its user, also known as Elise in this case. This weapon was also made by Riley.

Powers and Abilities
Elise knows all types of spells and has been studying them since she was old enough to read. She knows a spell to mask and change identities if only briefly. She knows a spell to give her flight abilities but when she begins using more than basic magic, it can be tracked.

Abaddon
Abaddon is an alias and alter ego that can be conjured up by Elise when in need. Abaddon is one of the princes of Hell and even though she isn't a male, it doesn't exclude her from being one. Abaddon has violent tendencies but can be influenced and controlled by Elise's thoughts. Abaddon is less likely to hurt anyone she considers useful and anyone Elise loves.

After the Liberation Interlude
For four months, Elise avoids Dante because she believes the reason Kat is dead is because her plan was incompetent. Dante partially blames her but more so himself. During that time, she obsesses over it and begins having sparks of someone else's memories, Kat or Vergil's, that depict a love affair and a child being born from the union. Elise also convinces everyone that they aren't the bad guys and that they know how to kill the demons which sets them free from being wanted.

War Of Hearts
Shortly after War Of Hearts begins, Elise turns 20 and refuses to meet Asmodeus at a restaurant because of the memory fragments that cause her to become exhausted reliving them. Asmodeus shares knowledge of her birthday with Dante who then insists going to Devil's Dalliance.

As the story progresses, Dante carelessly admits that he cares for her to some extent and that he was too quick to judge her. Elise begins falling more in love with him while wondering if he feels the same. They begin a physical relationship and the relationship continues as Theo attempts to get Elise to date him. Dante gets more possessive and when they travel back in time to meet Katia, Kratos, and Atreus, they get married. Once back in present time, she erases the memory and keeps his ring to herself.

Later on, Dante saves up money and buys them a bigger house just after Theo's death and Lana helps Elise realize that she's expecting after pointing out the signs and buying a test. The two break up but remain close friends, she realizes she has to tell him soon and one night during an argument, reveals her secret.

Dante realizes he's at a crossroads, he wants to remain with her but is unsure about having children due to what happened between Eva and Sparda. Elise offers him an out and he decides not to take it. Genevieve pushes Elise to take the throne which causes an even bigger rift to form between Dante and Elise until all they can agree on is what's best for their child.

Once Elise gives birth, she abandons her daughter to Dante who is lost without her. Asmodeus reveals the memories she had taken from him which causes more disorientation as he takes Katherine home. Months after her birth, close to her first birthday, Elise visits her daughter and ends up spending the night with Dante to keep him company.

Ivelisse Relevart
Ivelisse and Elise had a great relationship as mother and daughter, frequently practicing magic and watching movies. Ivelisse often doted on her daughter and told her stories, always making time for Elise no matter the circumstances. On Elise's twelfth birthday, she went out to buy a cake but was found by demons who now knew where she was headed. She drew them away from her daughter's path and contacted Asmodeus briefly to ensure he got to her first.

Asmodeus Drago
Elise was kidnapped by Asmodeus to be taken to Mundus and he made her erase Dante's memories. She didn't like him at all and hated him. She often told him so but as she was exposed to the harshness of the other guards, she realized Asmodeus wasn't as bad or harsh with her and after two years of being imprisoned, she began to request for him to guard her cell rather than Lucifer or Azazel or even Ramiel.

Dante Alastor
Elise met Dante when they were young at about eight or nine years old while he was running and attempting to hide from the demons in Limbo. That's when she found him and offered to shield him from them, he was very wary of her and didn't want her help at first. Then they began meeting every couple of days in Limbo and got to know each other. After Elise's twelfth birthday, she casted a spell so he would forget her entirely and present day Dante doesn't ever recall Elise or meeting her, signifying that the spell worked seamlessly. It is implied they have romantic feelings for each other at the young age and that was his main reason for wanting to protect her from Asmodeus and Mundus.

Vergil Alastor
Briefly having met him, she thinks he's absolutely nuts. When he shoots Lilith despite their promises not to, she's spooked at the fact. At the end, when he turns out to be the bad guy, she isn't surprised and later reveals to Dante that he had given her bad vibes from the beginning.

Kat
While wandering Limbo one day, Elise found Kat and they connected. This was when Elise was free to roam so long as Asmodeus kept an eye from afar. Kat was wary of Elise because she knew and was able to see her demonic lineage but Elise was able to convince her that she wasn't harmful if she didn't conjure up Abaddon. It lead to them becoming quick friends, three years passed and Kat helps Elise reconnect with Dante without knowing that was who she was always describing in her stories.

Mundus
Thinking she was illegitimate daughter with Ivelisse, he had his army set out to kidnap her. He had her imprisoned in a tiny cell and a garden built for her so she didn't feel cramped and would comply when he ordered her to hunt down a rogue demon. While she was imprisoned, he often chained her up and hit her, cut her and did a number of violent things to her in order to get her to listen. Even going as far as threatening to eat her heart in front of her eyes as she died like Eva Sparda, she hated him and that is why she went against him in the end.

Lilith
During the beginning, she states how ironic it is for Lilith of all demons to be having a kid. She despised Lilith who always taunted her and never showed her an ounce of kindness whilst imprisoned by Mundus.

Theodore Alistair
Theodore was a well mannered but had a cocky attitude, similar to Dante's. He dated Elise up until he realized she was in love with Dante and that he was a mere replacement. Elise grew to resent him after he handled her roughly and threatened Dante. She later killed him the morning by ripping his heart out after he woke them up and had attempted to kill Dante.

Lana Belle
Lana is one of Elise's good friends during Who after meeting her through Riley who had introduced them to each other mid story. They tend to get along really well and Lana supports Elise's every decision.

Remington Parker
After Remington comes back into Dante's life, Elise begins realizing that she's there to take her place with Dante. Elise hates Remington, believing that Dante would go for her (Remy) more so than herself.

Trivia

 * Abaddon is Elise's middle name.
 * Elise's surname is Chrysis due to Ivelisse's name change to make it more difficult for them to find.
 * In Jewish mythology, Lilith is considered Adam's first wife but she became a demon who seduced men and stole children and Elise comments on how ironic it is, implying she knows the lore.
