Inellis

Personal Info

Foster daughter of a newly risen noble family. Shunned by her peers within the household. To preserve the family's public image, she voluntarily gave up her right of succession and became an Explorer.
Gifted, easygoing, and approachable, she quickly gained renown among Explorers. Many teams tried to recruit her.
But for reasons unknown, she declined and continued to travel alone.

To most Explorers, Inellis carries an air of quiet mystery and distance.
Those who have worked with her say she rarely talks about herself, preferring to listen.
Even in strategy discussions, she only steps in when she notices a flaw—and even then, she merely offers a suggestion, never insisting.

Chronicles

That time I went on a mission with Miss Inellis, we ran into an incredibly dangerous monster.
When everyone else was ready to give up, she stepped up. Her calm confidence gave us the push we needed. In the end, she led us to victory.
People often say she's strong, but to me, she's more than that. She's gentle and resilient. If I ever get the chance, I'd love to explore alongside her again.
— An Explorer

We may not be related by blood, but from the day she entered this home, she is my daughter.
As long as I remain the head of this family, no one will ever question her place here.
Of course, I know why she left to train in the Abyss, and I understand the worries weighing on her heart.
But a person who is too kind cannot be the head of a household. That's why I chose to respect her decision and wait. Wait for her to grow, to transform, and to return stronger than before.
— Inellis's Foster Father

She's still alive? Hah... figures. My sweet little sister, always knowing how to win people over, always finding another shelter.
I've seen her act. Back home, she'd play the obedient, thoughtful daughter to win Father over—while making us, his real children, look like worthless fools.
An outsider who never knew her place. She should know better.
— Inellis's Brother

Inellis told me I shouldn't eat anything if I don't know where it came from... but some of those monsters just look so delicious.
If I use the cooking techniques she taught me, I'm sure it'll be fine... right?

Record

Though she's been part of the team for some time, Inellis hasn't changed much.
She seldom voices personal opinions and tends to double-check anything that involves others.
Her cautious, deliberate manner eventually made some teammates worry. Did Miss Inellis dislike them?
To find out, they decided to take action in their own ways, showing her extra warmth and attention.
At first, Inellis responded as she always did, with polite smiles and courteous deflection—but eventually, whether out of trust or simply being outmaneuvered by their persistence, she began to open up about her past.

Back home, she often helped her foster father with his duties to ease his burdens.
But her efforts were misread by her siblings as a ploy to win his favor and seize influence within the family.
Hoping to clear the misunderstanding, she tried reaching out to them, but her gestures were again twisted into ulterior motives.
Upon hearing this, her teammates encouraged her to follow her own heart, instead of caring too much about how others might see her.
Of course, such deep-seated issues can't be solved with a few words of encouragement, but the fact that she spoke about it at all showed that Inellis had finally begun to face her own feelings.
It will take time—but here, everyone is willing to wait for her.

Anecdote

One day, a few teammates went to Settlement to restock supplies and happened to spot Inellis standing in front of a wine display, lost in thought. Thinking of buying a bottle, Miss Inellis?
Startled, Inellis turned around, visibly flustered.
N-No, not for me. Well, I was just reading the labels...
Haha, relax. There's an empty table over there. Let's take a break.

It turned out her foster father's birthday was coming, and she'd been struggling to decide on a suitable gift.
I always just followed my siblings' lead when choosing gifts. I hate to be misunderstood. But after everything you all have told me, I've decided to do it my own way, even if people misjudge me.
My father loves fine wine, but his health isn't what it used to be... so I was wondering if there's something delicious yet gentle on the body. No wonder you looked so torn, Miss Inellis.
Once they were all clued in, everyone began brainstorming with her. It seemed nearly impossible.
After all, wine by nature has its downsides. Could there really be a drink that was both tasty and easy on the body?
Just then, the shopkeeper approached with a kind smile.
Pardon me, ladies, but I couldn't help overhearing. As it happens, I might have just what you're looking for.
Wine brewed from wild Abyssal fruits, rich in flavor but remarkably light on the system.

After asking the shopkeeper to send the wine as a gift, Inellis finally let out a sigh of relief, her usual gentle smile returning.
What luck! Thanks to you, I managed to find the perfect gift.
No, actually, if I'd just asked for your or the shopkeeper's advice sooner, I might've saved myself a lot of worry.
I still have much to learn about being open with others. But with everyone's trust and support, I believe I can become someone more dependable. One day, I'll make things right with my family, and in my own way.
