Ple-Sen
1. Milord Axel von Himmel, Knight of the Gloomy Sky from Albus, servant of Deus Mariarnelia, follower of Melancholy Renavan.
Like a formidable fortress in the path of Deus's enemies, Axel von Himmel was undoubtedly a fearsome warrior both in appearance and in deed. His somberness did not diminish the nobility of the Gloomy Sky's features. And Alaria would have been interested to hear the story of the scar that split his lip. Three points he certainly deserved.
2. Milady Chonchonliya Kvintea, Knight of the Milk Chocolate from Kabochi, servant of Lord Grimban Odolerus, follower of the Spirit of Ceres.
Cheerful, energetic, and friendly Chonchonliya Kvintea, as it seemed to Alaria, could win over anyone and find a way out of any situation. The Tanarsian could only compare her to the finest varieties of Milk Chocolate, filled with sincere sweetness and lacking artificial, overly cloying excess. One could not give her less than four points.
3. Milady Rezara Sandjore, Knight of the Scarlet Blade from Sellaura, servant of Afortek Transend, follower of the Brilliance of Velchmetra.
The style, facial features, and fashion sense of Rezara Sandjore contrasted sharply with her manner of speech and how she carried herself in society. Where Catharsis expected a Nordic warrior woman, the Scarlet Blade turned out to be a completely different person, not averse to using mysterious youth slang in her speech, like "archer builds" and "mounts". Moreover, this experienced swordswoman, about whom Alaria had heard so much, seemed to be afraid to demonstrate the elegance of her fighting style at a recent tournament. Because of this, it was difficult to give her more than two points.
4. Milady Alsira Vecchi d'Arcrede, Knight of the Moon Shadow from Forum, servant of Tsiel Pinkoflight.
A mysterious lady with mysterious abilities, which, together with her title, could not help but evoke the image of a nocturnal bloodsucker. In battle, however, the vampire seemed unwilling to shed blood unnecessarily and would only quench her thirst with an abundance of olives. Not the healthiest habit — with such gastronomic preferences, grace would quickly vanish. Catharsis quite quickly came to the conclusion that behind the aura of coldness and mystery hid a naive and inexperienced girl, who seemed to use her ornate style of speech, saying the simplest things in a deliberately overcomplicated form, as a shield from the outside world. Time and again there was a feeling that the Moon Shadow herself barely understood what she wanted to say to her interlocutor. In Alaria's eyes, this only served as an additional argument for the naive inexperience of this noble person. Three points.
5. Milady Emilia Lane, Knight of Justice from Matricaria, servant of Lord Githgood Floresceness, follower of the Brilliance of Velchmetra, student of Amalia Drake.
Such titles always aroused skepticism in Alaria, and the concept of "Justice" was especially vague and varied not only from culture to culture, but from person to person. But Emilia Lane did turn out to be a principled judge, even if her image lacked some zest. Two points.
6. Milord Lester Vargas, Knight of the Dawn Steel from Kanamia, servant of Deus Mariarnelia.
At first glance, Lester Vargas could be compared to a cheerful plush bear, but having clashed with him in battle, Catharsis quickly realized that he was not a bear, but a real lion, whose luxurious mane fluttered in the wind, and his confident smile was ready to disarm any opponent. This man, radiating confidence in himself and his abilities, undoubtedly able to appreciate good cuisine, fully deserved his four points.
7. Milady Neliah Vesta, Knight of Joy from Heroes Village, servant of Lord Galmeus Draxlaus, follower of the Morality of Satanid.
The severity and nobility of this person contrasted unhappily with the tightness and self-doubt that sometimes showed through the armor of composure. Neliah was a talented warrior and outwardly beautiful, but once having seen weakness, it was hard to ignore it afterwards. Until the Knight of Joy gains faith in herself, Catharsis could not give her more than three points.
9. Milady Stefania Valentine, Knight of the Wind from Nevikata, servant of Lord Adalard Grimm, follower of Melancholy Renavan.
Another young and inexperienced maiden. Alaria found it hard to deny Stefania's talents, but in battle she relied too much on having an undeniable advantage in the form of a bow and a pegasus. Pragmatism is pragmatism, but such a tactic seemed more like a crutch compensating for a lack of real experience. One could only hope that the Wind herself would see this, otherwise such an approach would one day play a cruel trick on her. Three points.
10. Milord Avesom de Superior, Knight of Virtuosity from Nebula, servant of Lord Bersery Secretgarden, follower of the Spirit of Ceres.
Confidence is good. Overconfidence is not so much. Avesom de Superior gave the impression of a man accustomed to relying on his pleasant appearance to captivate ladies' hearts. And some ladies did indeed like the daringness of his image. But few like to be one of thousands of notches on a bedpost, and Virtuosity seemed just such a man with notches. Therefore he received three points for his pleasant appearance.
11. Milady Anastasia Frizmist, Knight of the Cold from Fairium, servant of Lord Bersery Secretgarden, follower of the Sylian Principles.
The tacky outfit and lost expression on her face made it seem that Anastasia Frizmist ended up in the competition by some absurd accident, and Catharsis knew little about the maiden's character. Judging by her affiliation, behind a cold wall beat a heart that loved this world. But it was difficult to evaluate it without talking to her or at least observing her from the side. There was no other option but to give two points.
12. Milady Ninahisami Amanatenka, Knight of Truth from Fairium, servant of Lord Bersery Secretgarden, follower of Koimajism.
It's hard to think of a better combination than stylish clothes, a pleasant face, and the penetrating gaze of beautiful eyes. And the mysterious tattoo on her stomach also aroused a certain interest. Alas, Alaria did not have time to assess the character of Truth, and therefore gave only four points.
13. Milord Arnold de Arriet, Knight of Sincerity from Dencets, servant of Lord Maria-Tenerezza Logg, follower of ???
And again a vague epithet, which only aroused distrust towards the well-groomed knight. Undoubtedly, Sincerity had plenty of admirers, but his cold and seemingly contemptuous gaze, together with overly saccharine features, caused inexplicable revulsion in Catharsis. As if something was wrong with him. As if behind this "sincere" image there was something that he carefully hid from people's eyes. Three points for style and ability to present himself.
14. Milady Anella Blood, Knight of Wisdom from Oshi, servant of Lord Diramis Sutrtmoln, follower of ???
Nature endowed Anella Blood with a gorgeous figure, beautiful facial features, and a clear mind, but seemed to have forgotten to give her, with all this, a sense of style. If this was some kind of modern fashion, the charm of such attire persistently eluded Alaria. Moreover, what troubled Catharsis was not so much the apparent vulgarity of the outfit as its excess. For this reason, the Tanarsian had to lower the score to four points.
15. Milady Darkrush, Knight of Destructive Power from Lunia, servant of Druugdrdrag, follower of the Spirit of Ceres.
If there was anyone Catharsis could call the most beautiful of the participants, it was Milady Darkrush. This strength, confidence, and power, multiplied by the innate gifts of the draconic people, could not but captivate the eye. Truly, one of the luckiest peoples of Tezoth. Only the again misunderstood modern fashion somewhat diminished the impression of the resulting image. But not enough to affect the final score of five points.
