"Don't look at me like that mate,
Nothing more efficient than fighting evil with evil!"

After many years serving as one of the Hunters, Elea got fascinated by the evolution of the Blood-Hives forming the giant red crystals all over the ruins of Lendré. After enquiring the Alambra alchemists to help her out with her studies and getting rejected everytime, she eventually set out to a queen's hive by herself. She barely made it out and is reminded the price of her discovery everyday.
The crystals started sprawling all over her skin, tearing her skin as they went. The initial diagnosis from the Alchemists was that she was doomed, but it was without the intervention of Magda. The head of the Luminous forced the Alambra to open their library to her. She eventually discovered that she could tap into the power of the crystals to empower any type of metal whilst allowing her to keep the spread under relative control.. Even if it is at a painful cost.
With a mix of excitment and fear, she grabbed her rifle, opened the filled ammo chamber, bit into a wooden stick, and with her trusty dagger sliced up the part of her forearm holding the crystal together. She uttered the alchemical formula for Balance (while sobbing and wincing) and soon enough, crackling pink sparkles emitted from her blood to the crystals. She guided the crystal towards the ammos and saw them moving as if drawn by the crystal. The weapon closed its hatch as if it was posessed by an exterior force and Elea heard the heart-warming sound of the ammo being cocked up right in the firing chamber.
She smiled.
