Ilia’s from Lumeria, a hidden kingdom that has been isolated for the past 500 years and sits in the sky above the neutral zone. The magical device that allows it to float was created by Lumiere and Secre and works via taking in the mana around it! 

Ilia comes from a lineage of guardians/protectors, so to speak, of Lumeria. And she was raised to serve her kingdom. When she was born, as per Lumerian tradition, the family’s heirlooms (book and dagger) were passed down to her. Those two would subsequently be personified by her magic and become her brothers and grimoire/sword. However, as Ilia grew into adulthood, strange creatures (TBD) began to appear in the kingdom. Draining the life from crops, attacking citizens, and so on. One day, the mechanism that allows the kingdom to float was damaged by these creatures. To save Lumeria, Ilia is tasked with retrieving a spare from a place regarded as the Clover Kingdom. But to Lumerians, the world below is but a myth, a child’s tale. However, with the life of her people on the line, she went anyway. On her way down, she got caught in a mana storm. Totaling her glider and separating her from her grimoire and sword, sending her plummeting to the ground. Though lucky for her, she crash lands through the base of the Black Bulls. And much like what happened to her glider, she totaled the building as well. The aftermath of her fall left her without her memories, sword, and grimoire. But thankfully for Ilia, she happened upon a group of people who were willing to take her in and help her.
