A glance at Elnath Perusha

She is the dutiful captain of the Thanatos Squad, serving directly under the ruler, Haze, herself.

Kodama's boss in Tales of the Rays: Recollection. Most of Elnath's info is...a huge spoiler! So allow me to give you a peek at Elnath-senpai in a bit of a longer than usual "on the surface" section, while keeping spoilers under the cut. I will try to lean on the light end of spoilers, but if you have any interest in this story, those spoilers are still rather heavy. You have been warned.

On the surface:

Elnath may look small, (and she is! Under 5ft tall) but she's older and more powerful than her appearance may suggest. She is a stern captain that oversees the Reaper Knights, and is constantly lecturing Kodama for going out of line. But she isn't without compassion, as she notices his good intentions. She often overworks herself into long hours to fulfill her role, and enjoys sweets in her free time. Though she wouldn't admit it upfront.

Elnath serves directly under the ruler, Haze, and they are very close. However, Elnath also considers herself Haze's biggest admirer...A trait she shares with Kodama. The two of them often compete over who loves Haze more. They consider each other friendly rivals in this sense.

Elnath is serious and sincere. She cares about Haze and her friends to the point where she would do anything to keep them safe. Which can be a dangerous mix with her underlying impulsive nature where she feels like she must solve things without help.

To look deeper, we must tread major spoilers about Elnath. I recommend reading the story for these details. With that warning, let's look just a little closer below the cut... (I will keep certain things vague to at least save *some* surprises)

Her identity as "Elnath" is the result of a terrible mistake, a decades long nap where she awoke without any memories, and Haze keeping her close under her care. In truth, she predates the creation of the world itself. According to the Rays timeline we were recently given, Elnath is over 3,290 years old. Her original form is that of a small fairy known as a "mirrite."

Elnath eventually remembers who she used to be. Her unique power can save the people she loves from the endless disaster of the monstrous wraiths that have brought humanity to the brink of extinction, but in her reckless desire to save everyone, she decides she must take this burden upon herself. This plan will come at the cost of her original mission...and her own life.

All she wants is for the people she loves to live on happily. The world she came to love as "Elnath." She no longer considers herself who she was in the past. She lives as Elnath now.

She would sacrifice herself and indeed an entire world for the future of her loved ones.

Her loved ones, however, want nothing more than to live on with her and cannot accept her plan to sacrifice herself. Thus, our protagonists chase after her into the unknown...
