CHAPERON D'HJERTE & ALASTOR -Urban Legends-
Sakura's Theme - Street Fighter 4
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Specie: Nephal (Dragonkin)
Physical Description: Chaperon has strawberry-blond hair. She typically wears her regal armor, which consists of a pink/gold/blue dress made from adamant silk and equipped with a steel pendant and pauldrons. Her blue boots are reinforced with adamantine greaves - even her tiara is adamantite. Alastor appears as a tall armored figure, colored in blue, purple, and red. It bears a piece on the chest shaped like a tie, and has a mane of cyan hair.
Personality: Chaperon is keen when it comes to politics - for her, being a leader means making sure that everyone's happy. If they're happy, she's happy. She also gets fired up when she enters a battle, but prefers to be as fair as possible. Alastor is protective of Chaperon, like a big brother. Otherwise, it's a quiet individual.
History: The reigning princess of Blitzerph, accompanied by her symbiote and bodyguard Alastor. Barely any information about her past (or even Alastor's origins) have been made public. Things were going well in the recent preliminaries for the upcoming tournament, when chaos started occurring all over Blitzerph! Could it have anything to do with the tournament? For the sake of her people, Chaperon decides to continue on with it, to better investigate the recent events.
Equipment: Often garbed with the Sigurd's Aegis, which transforms into two weapons - Fafnir, a bladed umbrella made of the same material as her regal armor, and Gram, a mithril folding fan. Fafnir's adamantine blade requires less force than steel to penetrate most armors - considering Chaperon is able to swing it at a maximum of 100 mph, it could tear through a large tank with ease. Being mithril, Gram is lightweight yet more durable than stainless steel. Also, she is accompanied by the armor demon Alastor, who acts as a bodyguard and symbiote.
Abilities: Her psionics are mainly geared around divine wind, air imbued with aether energy. She mainly casts these from Gram, but can also project large dragon wings from divine wind and blow it from her mouth. She's also skilled at fencing, as demonstrated with Fafnir - at most, she can swing its bladed tip at 100 mph, shearing through most armors and projectiles. Alastor can conjure umbrakinesis (solidified darkness), and has a very strong grip.
Other: Like Jagger, she can also enter a Trance, becoming the Empress Dragon. This form combines the strengths of the Sigurd's Aegis and Alastor, becoming a mighty powerhouse. However, she is more in-control of her Trance than Jagger is of his.

Trivia
- A chaperone is a supervisor or a guardian, nods to her being joined by her bodyguard Alastor and her role as a sovereign of Blitzerph. Her last name, "D'hjerte" is Norwegian for "heart".
- Alastor is named after Zeus's epithet as retribution against evil deeds, like familial bloodshed. The term later devolved as an insult in Greek culture.
- The pendant worn on her chest, Sigurd's Aegis, is named after the Norse god that fought the dragon Fafnir. That said, her parasol Fafnir is named after that dragon, and her fan Gram is named after Sigurd's legendary sword which cleaved through the very anvil it was forged on.
- Chaperon's Fafnir and armor are made from adamantium, a fictional metal in the film "Forbidden Planet" and the Marvel universe. Gram is made of mithril, a fictional titanium-like metal from the world of Lord of the Rings (and various RPGs).
- The Style Lore "Alastor Platinum" is named after Jotaro Kujo's staple stand, Star Platinum, and is based on the memetically famous Patsun-Ora move used by Jotaro. Chaperon and Alastor may even shout "ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA!" or "COME ON COME ON COME ON COME ON COME ON!", the latter one actually used by Jecht in Dissidia, who used the former in the Japanese version.
- Alastor's mane color is actually an inverted color value of Chaperon's hair color.
- Chaperon possesses elements of a princess, a knight, and a dragon, which may be confusing for some to grasp...
