Background

Athedia was a young adult centaur and the Guard Captain assigned to receive Roy's group when they arrived in Netherland. She commanded ten Ten-Rider Squads: ten leaders with at least Intermediate strength and one hundred battle-hardened Low-level Knight soldiers, for 111 guards including herself. At the time, she was an Advanced Knight equipped in refined light armor. 118

Roy's Extraordinary Charm immediately affected her, leaving her startled, spiritually intoxicated, and unable to meet his gaze for long. Though initially assigned to him as part of Frosv's local privileges, she gradually became Roy's personal attendant and most dependable centaur follower. 118 135 171

During the Bloodhoof conflict, Athedia served as Roy's mount, scout, archer, and battlefield commander. Her rivalry with the stronger centaur warrior Yanila pushed her to seek greater strength; after being repeatedly outmatched, she accepted Roy's Behemoth Bloodline Agent and a master-servant contract marked by the Will Rune Ehwaz. 130 136 171

Athedia eventually became one of Roy's most trusted combatants. She received custom armor, flight equipment, bloodline enhancements, and later Apostle Armor and divine equipment. Her loyalty culminated in her shielding Roy from lethal electrical attacks during the conflict with Gem, dying in his place. 152 165 471

Her soul did not disperse. Resonating with the Rose Holy Emblem's virtues of Loyalty, Devotion, and Love, it returned to Roy as a spiritual imprint. Roy later rebuilt and revived her through alchemy, resurrection medicine, and Animate Magecraft. 352 471 540 555

Appearance

Athedia is a female centaur with a human upper body and equine lower body. When first introduced, she was tall, proportioned, agile, and wore ornate light armor; her bright eyes carried curiosity mixed with apprehension. 118

• Her Behemoth Bloodline made her taller, stronger, and more mature in build. 171 392
• She has been described as possessing pale, refined skin and a physique eventually surpassing Yanila's. 392 463
• Her custom Silver Battle Armor is a form-fitting, silk-like protective garment designed for comfort and defense. 151 152
• Roy fitted her with metal-and-flesh Pegasus Wings, later enabling sustained aerial mobility. 165
• After her death, Roy separated her centaur body for reconstruction, combining her human upper body with crafted golden lower-body components before eventually reviving her soul in a horse body. 541 555

Personality

Athedia is dutiful, earnest, and highly responsive to Roy's orders. Even before formally becoming his servant, she found satisfaction in carrying out difficult tasks for him; Sailen observed that Athedia's loyalty had become entangled with romantic affection under the influence of Roy's Extraordinary Charm. 135

Her devotion later proved genuine and soul-deep. She willingly accepted the unequal master-servant contract, sought to remain beside Roy even beyond death, and asked him to preserve her as a chess piece if she could no longer follow him in life. 171 264 471

Despite her obedience, Athedia is competitive and emotionally transparent. She is especially sensitive about Yanila, whose superior martial talent initially humiliated her. Their rivalry appears in their arguments, private sparring, and mutual jealousy over Roy's trust and gifts. 130 132 166

She is also shy about revealing clothing and personal feelings. Her discomfort with Roy's revealing battle armor, embarrassment when her resonance with the Rose Holy Emblem exposed her feelings, and quiet question about whether Roy would remember her all reflect this restraint. 152 239 352

Abilities & Skills

Centaur Guard Command

Athedia began as the commander of Netherland's elite castle guards.

• Commanded ten Ten-Rider Squads, totaling 111 personnel at full strength. 118
• Her squad leaders possessed Intermediate strength or greater, while ordinary guards were battle-hardened Low-level Knights. 118
• Maintains reconnaissance, security, communications, transport, and logistical duties for Roy's bases and campaigns. 134 212 827

Knight Combat and Archery

Before her bloodline enhancement, Athedia was already an Advanced Knight and a capable mounted fighter.

• Uses swords, shields, spears, and warhammers in direct combat. 198 711 824
• Demonstrated skilled mounted archery by killing an enemy scout during the Tata Mountain quarry operation. 132
• Serves as Roy's mount during combat, using centaur speed to charge through enemy formations. 156
• Her initial martial ability was inferior to Yanila's in both physical strength and technique. 130

Behemoth Bloodline and Blood Battle Qi

Roy strengthened Athedia with an elite Behemoth Bloodline Agent in exchange for her voluntary service.

• The bloodline awakened Blood Battle Qi and advanced her from Advanced Knight to Great Knight. 171
• Her enhanced body requires specialized nutrition, including Salt of the Beasts, to avoid weakness and bloodthirsty instability. 212
• Bloodline Awakening doubles her output, while Ferocious Transformation supplies another 200% multiplier. 283
• Combining both states grants approximately 400% output and an explosive strength of around 60 degrees. 283

Flight

Roy used artificial flesh, magical metals, and Silver Battle Armor-like material to create Pegasus Wings for Athedia.

• The wings bond to her body and respond to her thoughts as naturally as limbs. 165
• She adapted quickly, learning to “run” through the air rather than imitate a bird's flapping. 165
• Her aerial speed allowed her to cross hundreds of miles and rapidly rendezvous with Sailen near Bloodhoof territory. 166
• Later deployments frequently use her as Roy's flying mount and aerial patrol unit. 389 426

Rose Holy Emblem Resonance

Athedia's soul naturally resonates with three of the Twelve Virtues represented by Roy's Rose Holy Emblem.

• Resonant virtues: Loyalty, Devotion, and Love. 352
• Her resonance helped prove that emotional temperament could be used to condense and stabilize artificial souls. 352 353
• At death, these qualities allowed her soul to form a Rose Holy Emblem imprint rather than dissipate. 471
• Her soul became a viable basis for Roy's Rose Angel and resurrection research. 540 542

Equipment

• Silver Battle Armor — Custom form-fitting armor with greater comfort and protection than her former kingdom light armor. 151 152
• Pegasus Wings — Metal-and-flesh flight equipment integrated through artificial skin. 165
