Galexia Vigore Fay Réalta na Maidine

Peeress Galexia Vigore Fay Réalta- na Maidine, I (a.k.a. Vigore, The Sun of the Night Sky, Gardien du Ciel Nocturne, La Madrugada, La Retrograda, na Maidine)

Peeress Galexia Vigore Fay Solas Réalt is the eldest daughter of Meridian Fuil na Réaltaí and Molaisse Le Fay.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Galexia is the eldest child born to Molaisse Le Fay and Meridian Fuil na Réaltaí on the 6th of Moribund, 23 L'ere de L'aube. As the first of a new variegation of Animist ethnicities, Galexia's limits were and remain potentially limitless - having seemingly inherited equal parts of her parents' bloodlines she exemplified the best of them both from a young age: her father's gentle, visceral artist's view of the world combined with her mother's mind for tactics and strategy combined with the private tutelage of aunt and uncle Limnoreia Altalune Fuil na Réaltaí and Vektor Collapsearre Fuil Na Réaltai in the art of Gravitational Collapse made for a uniquely qualified and uncharacteristically cheerful warrior of Avalon's eternal Uxores Mortis. From quite early on Galexia found that her body's natural fluidity and inertia lent themselves to a talent and taste for movement of all kinds, and would in fact not only go on to found several schools of movement over the next 10, 400 years, but become recognized as the leading living practitioner in Gravitational Collapse.

During his early years as a war historian for the Memoriam Inanimatam with a particular focus in weaponry and conservation, Iliac took a keen interest in the ancient art of Gravitational Collapse as practiced by the members of House Fuil na Réaltaí - in 39 EG/LL the organization arranged for Iliac to meet with the leading expert in the form, a then-16 year old Galexia. He spent more than a month at The Mantle undergoing intensive training in the art form (which supplied the material for his 42 EG/LL text "The Art of Gravitational Collapse").

  Iliac and Vigore did not meet again until 41 EG/LL, when Saxon Seath first began to etch his name in Anima's history books by supplying the Mortelle populations of Albion and beyond, thus reigniting the Anima-Mortelle Wars after approximately 28 years of armistice. Iliac, having spent the last 2 years training in every martial art he could reasonably access and now able to defend himself as well as any Uxor Morte, joined the bivouac encampment in his new capacity as officially ranked Memoria/m and freshly-minted war correspondent and was surprised but delighted to find his teacher from years earlier encamped a few tents over.

Over the next century or so of Saxon-fueled conflicts Iliac and Vigore, as she preferred to be called, grew increasingly close and developed a deep friendship based in respect for one another. With her help Iliac went so far as to adapt techniques from gravitational collapse for those of Serousian/Sauserousian ancestry, crafting such new techniques as the Iliac Crest and the Stellar Riptide and replacing the meteor hammer with a salted net and hook. Conversely, he sat as a rapt audience for Vigore's experimentations with combat, dance, and movement time and again. Some time in 142 EG/LL, after thousands of nights keeping watch beside low campfires, Iliac quietly and resolutely declared his love for the undying star while annotating his battle notes for the day. By 145 EG/LL they were Promised to one another, though with their collective lifespan and free-spirited nature as a couple they saw no reason to rush toward the ceremony of a Bloodfasting.

They would never see their bloodfasting ceremony, as on 28 Cathasach, 1039 LL during the Battle of Eventide Iliac was struck by a bolt of powerful magic whilst taking notes on the battle from a hilltop and disintegrated on the spot, leaving no possibility that he might return in another Inmortui form. Only his journal remained, bioluminescent ink still wet. It and all of his other effects were given to Vigore following his honoring by the Memoriam Inanimatam, and she has kept herself busy in the 9,481 years since his Loss.
Vigore would return to Anima’s newest installment of the Anima-Mortelle Wars as a member of the elite Découverte task force with the onset of the Magner Conflicts, fighting in every major battle and several pivotal skirmishes of the end of the War and avenging her Lost love by striking the killing blow against Magner alongside longtime friend and fellow Découverte member Aleydis Maudeleyn Lake.

Gender Identity

Vigore identifies as female and uses she/her pronouns, though culturally Anima prescribes little importance to gender identity.

Sexuality

Despite her sole relationship in her lifetime being with a man, Vigore identifies as bisexual and has been known to have a harmless tryst or two with a fellow Uxor when time and duty allow for it.

Education

Vigore has grown up with the very best of hands-on tutelage - though she never attended a formal "school," she's considered incredibly well-educated by Animist standards and has made a name for herself amongst The Reminiscentia and the Memoriam Inanimatam both for her efforts to archive the history of Mortelle movement and for her research into the 1st Law of Preternatural Dynamics and what happens to those who are Lost by magical means.

Employment

  • Vigore joined The Reminiscentia in approximately 39 EG/LL and began her earliest studies into the history of Mortelle movement.
  • Vigore's career began with the Uxores Mortis as per her birthright beginning in 41 EG/LL, and has lasted for approximately 10,479 years of unbroken service. 
  • Vigore joined the Memoriam Inanimatam in 1040 EG/LL immediately following the Loss of Iliac Aalto Serous and has continued her research throughout the last 9,480 years.

Accomplishments & Achievements

  • Considered the greatest/most versatile living practitioner of Gravitational Collapse in Anima
  • Creator of a number of pivotal Gravitational Collapse techniques:
  • Creator of a number of schools of movement, such as: Blueshifting, 

Mental Trauma

The abrupt Loss of her Promised, Iliac Serous, has had a profound effect of Vigore mentally - though she maintains her generally cheerful, whimsical disposition, she has made no effort to seek another meaningful romantic connection in the period since and still considers herself in mourning. Her grief has manifested as her intensive research into what happens to those who become Lost in Anima, and is evident in her refusal to part with his personal effects even for archival purposes. War has had a less profound effect on her as a virtual fact of life for a child of the Le Fay bloodline, and she has managed to offset the gravity of battle with her own personal brand of levity and curiosity.

Movement Studies

Vigore is the founder of a number of schools of movement throughout Anima's storied history, having devoted most of her public research on behalf of the Memoriam Inanimatam to studies of movement in both the Animist and Mortelle realms. Many of the traditional dances she's credited with are still performed in the modern day, some of which include:
  • El Alumbrado (folk dance) - performed with ceremonial fulgor, or “lightning flash”.
  • La Retrograda (folk dance) - incredibly high-tempo partner dance that regularly changes who is leading/following throughout, constantly requiring the dancers to perform their part backwards
  • La Madrugada (religious dance) - typically a pas de seule/solo performed during the festival of Chiaroscuro, represents one’s journey through darkness into light
