Background / History

Lize was a member of the Star Moon Mercenary Group and served as its Spirit Master. She introduced herself to the injured Rhode after the Silver Scales Merchant Guild airship rescued him from the Paffield Plains, treating his severe wounds during his recovery 2 8.

During the Wind Serpent attack, Lize initially froze when directly threatened, but later protected Rhode with a precisely timed shield against the Wind Serpent Lord. She survived the airship crash due in part to the durability and healing affinity inherited from her Angel bloodline, while nearly all of her companions—including captain Carter—died 4 7 10.

Carter's death left Lize overwhelmed by guilt. She believed it was unfair that her Half-Angel traits had allowed her to survive when others had not. Rhode confronted her self-reproach, revealing that he had identified her lineage from the golden radiance in her eyes; his intervention helped her regain her composure 9 10.

After reaching Riverwood Town, Lize refused to abandon her destroyed mercenary group despite being its sole survivor. She supported Rhode's proposal to lead the group, later petitioning the Deepstone City Mercenary Association to preserve it. After Rhode passed the mercenary evaluation, the group was renamed Starlight 23 32 33 36.

Lize accompanied Rhode in clearing the Sairiel Haunted House, which became Starlight's stronghold. With a permanent home established, she assumed responsibility for maintaining the residence while continuing to train and undertake missions 38 43 47.

Appearance

Lize is a petite young woman with blonde hair, typically worn in a golden ponytail, fair skin, and delicate features. Her eyes shine with a subdued golden radiance—the visible mark of her Half-Angel heritage 10 25.

• Blonde hair and a golden ponytail 25
• Fair, delicate face 12 25
• Golden light reflected in her eyes 10
• Often wears a Spirit Master's robe 33
• Has an unexpectedly refined familiarity with noblewomen's conversation and customs 26

Personality

Lize is straightforward, generous, and conscientious. As a mercenary, she feels strongly responsible for her group's failures and for the losses suffered under its protection 2 24. She is also naturally considerate, checking Rhode's injuries, reminding Mace to be careful, and supporting Marlene after her defeat 9 10 50.

The airship disaster initially shattered her confidence, but she gradually becomes more resolute. She follows Rhode's plans even when she does not understand them, learns to use her support magic in battle, and chooses to remain with Starlight despite its precarious future 13 15 36.

Lize wishes for her mercenary group to remain principled. She rejects the idea of it becoming a band of mercenaries who commit crimes for profit or serve as enforcers for nobles 36.
