Orla
Orla Christos
What's your best quality?
I'd say my spiritual connection to the spirits is my best thing, I've been perfectly trained to be in tune with the spirits at a yong age and my abilities are unlike any other, that's what my teacher says at least. I find the spirits much more comforting than to people.
Favourite music, colour, movie, food?
- I don't listen to music a lot, expect the music in the played in the streets and the music in the Oracle's room, it's quite comforting.
- Ice blue
- Do you mean play? If that's the case I like "The Moon's Lamet" it's a beautiful piece, but I'm not letting anyone know that I like it"
- Plain rice

Mental characteristics
Personal history
Orla was born into a wealthy and influencal political family that was part of the high council. Orla showed incredible natural talent for magic and spirituality and thus, was deemed worthy enough in status and in magic to become the next oracle after she comes of age.
Orla was raised away from her family her entire childhood, in the compounds of the temple she was raised in. She was looked after and trained by the Oracle and her assistants and she dedicated her whole childhood to becoming the best future Oracle she could be in order to help her family's status in the world. When Orla was a child, she met Izanami and Angel by accident when they had to hide in the temple after pissing off a spirit. Despite Orla's relectense at first, she became friends with them and her first act of rebellion was letting them sneak into the temple so they could speand time with her.
When Orla was a teenager, she met Rachel, Johnathan, Ruby, Dove and Jack for the first time.
Sexuality
Orla is a straight asexual just like Jack. She's not sex resulsed like Jack is just indifferent.
Education
Orla was taught by the Oracle her entire life. She was tutored in not only in general subjects such as maths, English, history, etc but mostly in magic and spirituality, teaching her how to communicate with the spirits and how to improve her magical skills. She was also taught all the general and important duties she would have as an Oracle.
Employment
Orla began as an Oracle in training as young as 5 years old and was planned to be trained to be the Oracle until she was 18, where the old Oracle would retire and Orla would take over her title and duties. Currently, she is in her final stages of becoming an Oracle and is being prepared for all the most important duties as an Oracle.
Accomplishments & Achievements
- Being an natural talent for spirituality and magic
- Surpassing people's expectations for her magical abilities
- Helping to defeat Diedamia
- Eventually, standing up to her parents
Failures & Embarrassments
- Not making her parents proud no matter how well she does
- Getting found out for her rebelious actions as a child and teenager
Mental Trauma
Orla has been lonely almost her entire life as she was dragged away from her family to live in the temple with the Oracle. She wasn't allowed to play with any children from outside the temple and the only other people she could spend time with were the Oracle's and the temple assistants who were much older than her.
Orla is also very burnt out at just the age of 16 due to her having to train almost 24/7 and what she enjoyed now feels like a chore to her, as she does love magic and learning all about it she's too overwhelmed with the responsibilities and expectations thrust upon her at such a young age.
Intellectual Characteristics
Orla is a very observant person which allows her to analyse and find solutions in difficult or stressful situations. She often notices things others don't due to her natural spirituality, and this makes her great when solving things like puzzles and makes her detective of sorts.
Morality & Philosophy
Orla was taught to protect both Guardians and spirits and she has a strict lawfully good code, a goody-two-shoes by Izanami's and Angel's standards.
Taboos
Orla sometimes helped Izanami and Angel sneak into the temple so that they could hang out with each other as children and still did as teenagers, although less frequent due to her duties. Her parents eventually found out and though she was purposely neglecting her duties so that she could goof off and disappoint her family.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
Orla's motivation when my characters first meet her is to just be the best possible Oracle she could be. All she wants is to help her family improve their family status.
In book 2 however, she begins to question how she's been raised and Kenji helps her realise that she doesn't need to be the Oracle, it was never something that was set in stone for her, just like how them trying to defeat Diedamia was something they chose, not anything set in stone.
By book 3 and 4, she rebels, and begins to prioritise helping everyone to defeat Deidamia and uses her magic in the way she's always wanted, not how her parents wanted her to.
Savvies & Ineptitudes
Orla has been trained to be skilled in the following:
- Use of magic without using a staff
- Defensive attacks
- Communication with spirits
- Understanding an almost gone language
- Certain offensive attacks
Likes & Dislikes

Virtues & Personality perks
Orla is a very intelligent woman, on the same scale of Angel, and is the person people always go to for logical advice on a problem or to fix a puzzle.
Orla, despite her rude demur sometimes, she does genuinely care a lot about her friends and enjoys spending time with them. She'll always help them whenever they get in trouble and need help without them asking and is the friend they go to for advice.
Orla also quite courageous, she's a most defiantly fighter when it comes to tough situations and isn't the one to give up a problem easily.
All these you can notice one main thing that is consistent with Orla, she's a helpful person and is always leading a hand to someone in need.
Vices & Personality flaws
Orla can be too rude to people, she's not very patient and has a quick temper and as a result she can be quite harsh with her words with people who annoy her.
Even though Orla is someone who always willingly helps someone she refuses help from anybody else, due to her being taught to be independent and more mature than she should be all her life.
Orla also has higher expectations for herself than most people do for themselves. This causes her to have a bit of a snobby view of herself compared to others and causes her to be too harsh on herself if she doesn't overwork herself.

Family Ties
Orla is the eldest daughter to both high council members, her mother Bascilla Christos and Alaster Christos. She does have younger siblings which she has sadly never been able to meet due to her being confined in the temple to learn her duties.
Social Aptitude
Etiquette- Orla was always taught to be as polite and professional as possible even as a young child and still walks and talks like it. One of her lessons were how to act in front of important political figures and carry herself in front of a crowd.
Confidence- Orla has good confidence in her abilities that can be squashed by just one harmful and unnecessary comment.
Ego- She can sometimes view herself as higher than other people due to being raised to be important her whole life.
Extroversion- Orla is an introvert who enjoys spending time by herself so she can finally get some peace, but that doesn't mean she doesn't enjoy hanging out with her friends.
Charisma- Orla has enough charisma to present herself well in front of important people, but in normal social interactions with teenagers she's completely clueless.
Mannerisms
Orla makes sure to keep her posture straight with people, her hands behind her side, like how she's been taught her entire life.
Hobbies & Pets
Orla focuses on her training most of her childhood so she was never really able to take up any other interests or hobbies outside of her magic. She does enjoy learning more about her magic and spirituality but she's so burnt out that it's now more of a chore and not how she's wanted to use it. She does, however, take a great interest in history and loves learning about runes and the past monarchy.
Speech
Orla has a medium pitch for a 16 year old girl with a Greek accent. She has been taught to be speak clearly and professionally ever since she was a young child.
Wealth & Financial state
Orla comes from a wealthy and important family in the Sun Kingdom, leaving her to grow up in a life of comfort until she moved to the temple when she was 5. She continues to live comfortably in the temple as she is looked after well and given good lodgings, although not to the standards before and with no servants.
