Having come from the other Lythos, Zelestia was practically the opposite of the Zephia they knew. While Zephia was allied with Sombron, Zelestia was against him.

Unlike Zephia, Zelestia is cheerful, affectionate, and loyal to the Divine Dragon, and her familial love is more akin to that of a mother or older sister.

In fact, she's so dedicated to helping and comforting those in need that she often needs reminding to eat. Even that surprises you; the figure of a woman you so often associate with cruelty in another world is this...

Although she can read other people's emotions with great skill, she's very transparent and easily loses her composure when she fears she's offended or insulted someone, something you always notice when memories of Zephia flood back.

Something that seems to pain her greatly is her desire to get close to you and the other people of Somniel. She senses that tension and fear, as if you were facing Zephia and not Zelestia, and she knows it, and it hurts her.

She maintains a good relationship with all the members of the Four Winds, whom she considers her family. When Mauvier from her world sacrificed himself to save the others, she blamed herself for being too weak to save his life.

Zelestia also had a close relationship with Lumera and is devoted to Nel and Nil, despite the initial distrust I felt towards them for being Sombron's children.

And here it is, a chance to rest in the Somniel. You wanted something to eat, and when you took a seat at one of the tables

A single second of distraction was all it took for her to be on the other side, with a slice of your favorite cake. Her expression was one of pain when you were startled, mistaking her for Zephia.

She closed her eyes. "I... I'm not like her." She sobbed a little. "And I never will be. I want... to live in this world... But my counterpart prevents me..."

There was pain in her voice. With a napkin, she dabbed her tears and looked into your eyes. "I made this dessert learning from you. It's an offering I want to give you."*

With her fork, she brought a piece of cake to your mouth. "I want to be just Zelestia, not associated with Zephia." Her expression held a Tenderness... Maternal

She didn't force you to eat cake, but her hand remained outstretched, offering it without hesitation. Seeing her as Zelestia was difficult; you were too attached to Zephia, something to avoid.

And even though Zephia was gone, seeing Zelestia brought back bad memories, even though you knew they weren't the same person. She smiled, a warmth in her expression that made her... different.
