Elisabeth

"May I ask your name, kind sir?"

- Elisabeth to Shadow

Elisabeth (エリザベート), also known as the Blood Queen (の), is a Vampire Progenitor and formerly one of the Three Monarchs of the Lawless City, where she was seemingly the ruler of the Crimson Tower. In reality, however, she was actually a figurehead used by her subordinate, Crimson, and later abdicates the position after being saved by Shadow.

Appearance
Elisabeth is a beautiful vampire woman with a small but well-formed body, with very light crimson hair that reaches to her knees and is intense, and eyes of the same color, and pointed ears like those of an elf, but her hair covers them. She wears a knee-length dark red dress made of blood that slides hypnotically over her skin with red accents, dark red hands, dark red stockings, and a pair of shoes. She also wears a crimson hair clip and a red necklace around her neck and ribbon and walks with an umbrella to protect herself from the sun.

Because of her lineage as a vampire progenitor, Elisabeth could withstand sunlight to some extent, albeit with discomfort. She managed to live by abstaining from human blood and exclusively consuming human food. To shield herself from the sun's direct rays and to avoid further discomfort, Elisabeth carries a crimson umbrella.

Personality
"Let us build a Haven here. A land where humans and vampires can live in peace."

- Elisabeth to Mary

Unlike other Vampire Progenitors who had used their abilities for survival or for evil, Elisabeth is not only the most benevolent of the progenitors but her entire species. She is a kind woman, who believed that Vampires could coexist with the other races which lead to her building her utopia where there is equality for all.

Elisabeth would even sacrifice herself if to ensure no one would be hurt by her power, to which she even tries to fight off her urge to feed, but her nature as the vampire progenitor makes it hard for her to do so. Elisabeth refuses to take humans lives excessively and hunted only the bare minimum she needed to survive.

Elisabeth has a slow nature to wake up completely, whether she is well fed or in need of drinking blood. According to Mary, Elisabeth always had that naturalness, due to low blood pressure in her body.

Powers & Abilities
Elisabeth is the most powerful Vampire Progenitor, once destroying four countries in just three days, and Beta estimated her strength to surpass even Alpha's. She is also, by far, the strongest of the Three Monarchs of the Lawless City, easily overwhelming the other two and even managing to land a hit on Shadow, albeit while he was weighed down by the loot he was carrying, forcing him to get a "little serious".

Vampiric Physiology
Like any vampire, Elizabeth boasts strength, speed, agility, and senses far above the average human. This allows her to easily smash, kill, and fight multiple high-ranking magic knights at once without any problem. Her physical strength as such is powerful enough to be able to stop a Slime Sword attack, from one of the "Seven Shadows" of Shadow Garden, like Beta, with only her bare hands, without even receiving damage.

Vampiric Power: Being a Vampire Progenitor, Elisabeth has great power, both offensive and defensive, that even if she does not drink human blood, she would retain most of her vampire powers and abilities.

When said power is at 100%, (after feeding on human blood adequately, or having enough), Elisabeth demonstrates that if she sets her mind to it, she can wipe out a small country, but completely, in less than a day, or in just one night. This was seen when, during the second appearance of the "Premature Red Moon", upon ingesting human blood, Elisabeth lost control, recovering 100% (without being completely increased by the appearance of the Premature Red Moon), of her vampire abilities, and managed to destroy a small country with him, while his deer, (manipulative vampires), delighted in the civilian victims, who tried to escape.

Vampiric Senses: Like every Vampire, which is Elisabeth, she has very supernaturally heightened senses, in all her 5 senses and others, especially her smell, vision, hearing and taste. As she is a progenitor, these senses are greatly increased, a thousand times more than those of vampires, and others are in command, and as she is "The Vampire Queen", these abilities make her someone to fear and respect almost for all. those of his class.

Blood Thirst: Like every vampire, Elizabeth has a strong taste for human blood, but she only drank when it was necessary and when she needed to survive. Ah, unlike the other vampires and progenitors, Elisabeth does not like the idea of hunting for pleasure and pleasure, but being a progenitor, if she is not fed properly, her appetite for human blood was a thousand times stronger than that of normal vampires and counts, but as time went by, and by sheer force of will and adaptability, he managed to free himself in a practical way.

By having a strong resistance to the thirst for human blood, Elisabeth can avoid the desire to want to drink blood, even if she is in front of it, even though she has spent a long time without drinking blood, or even if she ingests a little, she will maintain the control.

Inhuman Resistance: Elisabeth has resistance to physical attacks, at extreme levels, related to attacks that involve hands, legs or even the head itself, this ability allows her to tolerate or escape unscathed from attacks that can cause damage of various tons, while Being under the effects of the Red Moon, he becomes almost Practically Invulnerable, to direct physical attacks, and to conventional weapons, such as Normal pistols and semi-rifles. During their fight in the Red Tower of the Lawless City, after her resurrection, Elisabeth received Juggernaut's innate strong blow to the face, filling and without flinching, and even so, it did not hurt her in any way, taking into account that said the attack had a force of more than 20 to 50 tons (as analyzed).

Vampiric Flight: Like any vampire, Elizabeth has the ability to fly and stay in the skies, allowing herself to reach very fast speeds. When she is under the effects and influence of the Red Moon, her flight abilities become supersonic, rivaling those of the magical dragons of the other world, while it is in its stages from start to finish.


 * Instant Aerial Flash: Like swordsmen and magical warriors, Elisabeth has the ability to move almost instantly to any place near her, even in the air. This allows him to dodge attacks, or counterattack in a surprising and deadly manner. This ability is almost at the same level as Shadow, but since it is powered by the power of the Red Moon, both are at the same level of ability. (although Shadow, for his part, doesn't take it seriously). Elisabeth, if she likes, can also move instantly on land, if she likes, although it seems that she is not very good at land combat.


 * Super-boosted Vampiric Speed: When under the effects of the Complete Red Moon, and feel strongly threatened, Elisabeth can fly and move at lightning speeds, comparable to lightning, or more, which when combined with the rest of her Vampiric abilities and special Techniques, can make her a very adversary. powerful and practically impossible to defeat and even less to kill, greatly surpassing the speed of the Dragons. During the Red Moon process, which lasts 3 days of increasing the Vampires' magical power, until now no one has forced her to fight at that level of speed.Shadow VS Elisabeth - Air Combat gif.gif now, only Shadow could match Elisabeth's level of speed, even surpass it, if he had wanted to. During their final battle in the Red Tower of the City, Under the glow of the Red Moon, Elisabeth and Shadow fought an aerial combat in a luminous and instantaneous way for a long time in the sky, while they exchanged attacks with their weapons, in a deadly way, for anyone trying to join the fight. This fight was witnessed by the accompanying members of Shadow, Beta, 664, 665, 666, Mary, and by the other 2 Rulers of the Lawless City, Yukime and Juggernaut, this made Mary strongly surprised, since until now she had never known or known of a warrior who was at the level of her lady Elisabeth, even more so with the increase in power that she had, due to the effect of the Red Moon. The battle lasted a long time, until Shadow decided to end the fight, but not before she asked him for his name, to which Shadow responded with his technique; "I Am Recovery Atomic."

Vampire Progenitor Biology
Elisabeth has a vampire biology, very strong, special and powerful, being a progenitor vampire, since like her kind, even if their bodies are destroyed, as long as their hearts remain intact, or they do not suffer serious damage, in certain circumstances, parents can resurrect, with the help of others, offering a blood sacrifice of a living young person, mainly in this. Elizabeth's vampire heart, like her blood, is very special and powerful, within the race of Vampires and their parents, especially her Heart, since Elizabeth is the most powerful parent of vampires, the older she is. The level of biological power of these, the more difficult it will be to kill them, even if you know the weak points of a vampire.

Vampiric Regeneration: Elisabeth is noted to have the strongest regenerative ability of any vampire in existence. As long as her heart remains intact, she can regenerate all the other organs in her body. When under the effects of the Red Moon, Elisabeth becomes practically immortal, capable of regenerating her entire body from just her blood after it was destroyed by the Aurora-possessed Claire.

Blood Curse: Elizabeth can impose a curse on her victims, similar to "Demon Possession", injecting her vampire blood into her enemies, causing their bodies to rot rapidly. Sometimes she can use this ability to turn people into vampires, or their familiars, more easily than a normal vampire. This curse as such can be applied in many ways, in different possible ways, whether by bite, direct injection of vampire blood or their deadly techniques, but only if they want to, turn someone into their Ghoul familiar, kill them, or maybe turn him into a Vampire.

Vampiric Heart: Elizabeth's vampire heart (in the Anime and Game) has an appearance somewhat similar to the core artifact; "Eye of Avarice", said heart, has the shape of an obelized shoot in the shape of an unopened flower, whose sides cover 60% of it, made of a metallic aspect of it, whose upper center is made of a crystallization It is hard red, (apparently made of blood), which is the only fragile part of the Cuaron, and the lower center has roots close to arteries, as if they were the roots of a plant. This heart has the ability to remain eternally intact, as long as it does not suffer any serious damage to its upper center, and if it received and adsorbed a certain amount of blood, even a small one, from the sacrificed body of the person, it could beat again and allow the resurrection of Elisabeth. The heart was very hard and difficult to destroy, if its only weak point was not taken into account, since apart from being eternal, it was hard enough to withstand damage from metal swords, whether they had magic or not, even to emerge intact from a magical explosion, with enough force to destroy anything from a house to possibly a multi-story building. Within the anime and game, when Crimson barely put the heart in the body of the sacrificed boy, right where his heart went, a few moments later, Shadow came and unleashed a huge explosion of fire, which destroyed the body of the sacrificed boy, (except his head), keeping Crimson in it, but Elisabeth's Heart remained intact after it, and falling to the floor. (it is not entirely clear, if necessary, the strength of the Red Moon, as a source of support, for the resurrection as such).


 * In the Manga and Light Novel, Elizabeth's heart, looks like a normal heart and a little more fragile, and like that of the other parents, with the same requirements to be able to revive, with the difference that, the body of the sacrificed boy or girl, must remain intact, without suffering any damage, as such, at a full level and with a little more time, so that Elisabeth can revive, and with the support of the Red Moon (it seems).

Fighting Style
Elisabeth has shown that apparently, she is not very good at fighting with her hands at all (until the current date), but when she is under the effects of the Red Moon, she has proven to be a strong but savage fighter, whom she is only guided by instinct almost entirely. When she wants to fight with her hands, she uses, for the most part, very strong, very hard sharp claws, as if to break iron and steel, coming from her own hands, handling them with a very dangerous and wild speed and ferocity, being deadly to anyone. who decides to fight directly against her, without any type of weapon.

During her fight against a Claire who was possessed by Aurora, Elisabeth was able to maintain a close combat of claws against Aurora's scythes, until she was destroyed but not killed, by the tactics and skills that Aurora used against her.

Swordsmanship: Although it may not seem like it, Elisabeth is an expert fighter at the level of weapons handling, being able to fight and be on par in fencing combat, with any weapon, whether short or medium distance that she wields. This ability, added to her vampire abilities, and the power of her opponents' movements and attacks, make her a very dangerous Vampire to be feared more, when she is half or fully conscious to fight, although it depends in part on the reinforcement and increase of magic, partly for this.

When under the effects of the Red Moon, her swordsmanship abilities become monstrous, both in level of damage, as well as in attack speed and adaptability, surpassing strong beings in swordsmanship. Until now, her level of skill in fighting with weapons or swordsmanship is only equaled and greatly surpassed by Shadow, whether in ground or aerial combat, even with the support and increase of magic from the Red Moon.

During their final fight, in the Red Tower in the Lawless City, under the glow of the Red Moon, Elisabeth and Shadow, fought a deadly combat of weapons, at the aerial level, with an overwhelmingly deadly speed of attacks, being able to generate strong luminous explosions in the air, with only the clash of their weapons, in a few moments, while they moved and moved, luminously in the sky.

Intimidating Presence: While normally docile, upon releasing her vampiric nature, Elisabeth can induce a strong instinctive fear in any individual who is in front of her, making them unable to even stand up. Whilst under the influence of the Blood Moon, Beta described Elisabeth as an honest-to-God monster whose power is only comparable to Shadow. However, those with strong willpower can resist Elisabeth's intimidation.

Power of the Red Moon
During the nights when there is a "Red Moon", the powers and abilities of the vampires become even more powerful and are influenced by it, both for normal vampires and nobles, even Elisabeth is overwhelmed by such power that she must have more careful when the "Red Moon" arrives. When she lost control due to the betrayal of one of her subordinates, who made her drink human blood during one of those nights, she alone destroyed 4 countries, reducing them to rubble in less than 3 days.

Blood Manipulation
Her main offensive ability, as well as partly defensive, is the power to freely control her own blood and imbue it with magic, using it to heal herself when she is injured, as well as to protect herself. Mainly, Elisabeth uses this ability in an offensive way, since it allows her to aggressively and deadly be able to sword and kill her enemies very effectively, either with her short- or long-range attacks, or by injecting them with Curse of the Vampire.

Aurora also has this capacity and ability, with the difference that Aurora has said ability, at higher offensive levels than Elisabeth, since Aurora comes from the "Original Blood", plus the experience she has as witch (among other things), Aurora can wield this ability, in a more complex way, countering, cursing or using the blood of others, including that of Elisabeth herself. This ability as such, although both Aurora and Elisabeth possess it, unlike Aurora, Elisabeth doesn't need to use magic, for the most part, to manipulate her blood unless necessary, the Blood responds to her will, and by interacting with that of other living beings, Elisabeth can use their blood for herself and against them.

This ability of Elisabeth only allows her to manipulate the blood of her, and of other living beings, whether they are beasts, humans or other races, but as such, she cannot at all (apparently) manipulate the liquids themselves, as normal water, or salt water, from any source. Among her abilities to Manipulate Blood, there are these like.


 * Blood Projectiles:


 * Shapeshifting Weapon:


 * Blood Theft:


 * Blood Paralysis/Vampire Curse:

Trackable Perception
In addition to her combat skills, Elisabeth also has excellent tracking, magical detection, and recognition skills, being able to know the identities of the people she crosses her path, even if they are hiding their identity facially and corporatizing or hiding or altering its magical power for the most part. When under the effects of the Red Moon, this ability is extremely sensitive, allowing it to recognize and identify its target 100%. This ability surpasses the power of measurement and detection of the highest magical warriors, such as Beatrix, and surpassing, rivaling the detection power of "The Trial of the Goddess Shrine".

(This ability was also seen in the game's "Dating with the Protagonist" and was hinted at in the anime.)

When Elisabeth was cured of her lack of control by the power of the Red Moon, by the magical power of the "Sir-Knight" who saved her, a few days after that, before leaving the Lawless City, she was still able to see a boy from a distance, instantly knowing that said teenage boy was the person who saved him, then in a subtle way, she bowed her head to him in the form of "thank you".

Magic
Elisabeth has great magical power, which makes her a person to be strongly feared. When she is under the effects of the Red Moon, her magic grows extremely. According to Beta, her level of magical power was higher than that of Alpha and can continue to grow.

Elisabeth has shown to use her magic, either by wild instinct or by pure conscience, for several things, which are:
 * Moldable Magical Aura:


 * Strong Magic Recovery:


 * Magic Drain:
 * Increase of Power:

Techniques
Deadly Blood Explosion: In the game, Elisabeth has the ability to launch a powerful blood magic attack, which causes a strong explosion, with enough force to destroy an entire large tower. She can execute this attack while she is performing other strong techniques, which at the same time she executes them. When Elisabeth is under the effects potentiated at a magical level, by the Red Moon, said technique can greatly increase the damage, to the point that she is believed to be able to damage anything from a mountain, to possibly a Dragon.

Blood Vampiric Cloning: Elizabeth can create powerful clones of herself using her blood, which allows her to considerably multiply the damage dealt to her opponents or more than one, (as far as is known, she can make 2 to 3 clones of herself). This Ability works in the same way as Nelson's Skill (the Miser), with its flaws and so on, although Elisabeth cannot generate as many clones, these, for their part, demonstrate to have more power than normal, and can execute several normal skills. by Elisabeth. When Elisabeth is under the increased power of the Red Moon, said Technique and ability greatly increase the damage power, making the clones close to that of the original body, and possibly gaining a bit of direction. Mary affirmed to everyone that Elizabeth was classified as the most powerful vampire queen that has existed up to the present date because of this ability. During the night of the "Red Moon" in the red tower at the Lawless City, Elizabeth uses this ability against Shadow.

Mist Form: This is an ability vampires have which allows them to turn their bodies into mist. Elizabeth' being a progenitor vampire, can not only turn her body into mist and vice versa, but also only parts of herself, which allows her to dodge her enemies' attacks and at the same time deal damage to them. She also uses this ability to move easily. But this does not make her fully invulnerable, she can take burst-level damage while in that state, which can hurt her on a cellular level. During her resurrection and combat against Shadow Garden members, Juggernaut, and Yukime, during the Red Moon inside the Vampire Tower, in the Lawless City. Elisabeth used this ability and technique, in the Game, she is also seen doing this.

Blood Tentacles: She can make her blood take the form of tentacles, which allows her to attack multiple enemies at once. She can also use this ability to increase her vampire feeding capacity, using them to drain blood from her target. When she fights against Shadow and Claire/Aurora, Elizabeth used this ability against them.

Blood Arrows: She condenses magic into an orb of blood, then releases it to the air where it explodes, spraying arrows of blood down on everyone in the vicinity, which allows her to damage multiple enemies and even inflict a "Vampiric Curse" on them. This technique as such has a variant of it, even stronger, with an even higher amplitude radius.


 * Elisabeth-Deadly rain of Blood-gif.gifDeadly Rain of Blood: When she puts her mind to it, Elisabeth can unleash a deadly cloud of blood, scattering scents of cells and drops of blood, capable of launching a powerful deadly rain of blood, at high speeds, capable of damaging concrete and capable of covering a radius of more than of several buildings at the same time, which can amplify the vampire curse into a drop of deadly attack, when under the effects of the Red Moon, the damage level, range radius and speed increase overwhelmingly. During her final battle against Shadow, in her resurrection after a thousand years, in the Crimson Tower, in the Lawless City, under the effect of the Red Moon, she used said deadly technique against Shadow, and the rest of the people around, beginning to demolish the entire Red tower, but Shadow managed to protect everyone present in the area. (It is unknown how much the level of damage of this technique can increase as such).

Weaknesses
Even though she is a Progenitor, Elisabeth still shares typical vampire weaknesses. Prolonged exposure to sunlight will burn her skin, and she will be weakened if she were to cease drinking human blood. Her mortality hinges on the preservation of her heart; destruction of her heart could lead to her demise. However, unlike normal vampires, merely stabbing it will not turn her body to ash, only killing her, and she can be still revived as long as the organ remains intact.

Elisabeth's blood manipulation and regeneration can be used against her. During her fight against Claire, who was possessed by Aurora, the latter took control of Elisabeth's blood, redirecting her attacks back at her. Also, due to having held off drinking human blood for so long, she has low resistance against its effects, with the slightest sip making her go on a rampage.

Trivia

 * Elisabeth's name is a potential reference to Countess Elizabeth Báthory. Báthory was accused and executed for the murder of hundreds of girls. Some describe her as the closest thing to a vampire, claiming she bathed in blood to retain her youthful skin, among other horrendous practices. Her actions may have served as an inspiration for Abraham Sto ker , creator of the character of Dracula, but there is little evidence to support this claim of influence. Vlad, the Impaler, Dracula is often cited as an influence, but like Báthory, there is no evidence it supplied anything except a name.
 * Ironically, she shares her name with the First Queen Elisabeth, and shares many personal traits to the British Queen.


 * Despite being a Vampire's strongest Progenitor, Elisabeth preferred to have a calm and peaceful life. Unlike her kind, Elisabeth can apparently eat normal human food, as if it were some kinds of healthy diet and she did n ot  like having to drink human blood.
 * Despite not liking the idea of hunting for pleasure, Elisabeth, herself, has shown that she has killed (just to survive), people she and her family encountered, before the end of the "Vampire Golden Age". To this day, it is unknown how many people she has killed, being aware of it, whether they were innocent or not, and whether they also preyed on other races, such as the Elves and Beastmen.
 * Elisabeth, due to her nature, was always frowned upon by the other vampires, and even the other progenitors, to the point of being treated, in quotes, as a "traitor", but almost no one dared to challenge her, or betray her, due to how powerful she was. According to Mary, the remaining vampires, who sought refuge from her, under her protection, after the human hunt, but who refused to accept the way of life that Elisabeth proposed to them, she eliminated them herself, although it pained her.
 * Although Elisabeth was classified as the most powerful progenitor of vampires, this does not make her the first vampire as such, since according to what has been said, they had already existed, during the time of the Demon Diabolos.
 * According to Mary words, Elisabeth was named and proclaimed the queen of vampires, being the most powerful of her kind.
 * It is possibly speculated that Elisabeth is currently ranked as the third most powerful individual in the world, just below Aurora, who caused havoc in the world, before becoming the Demon King Diabolos, (although it is not known what he caused so much), and even more so than Shadow, since although Elisabeth was able to cause him damage, she could not make him bleed that she only forced him to become a little serious, because he had gold coins inside his slime bodysuit which slowed him down.
 * Like the Dragons, it is unknown what role Elizabeth, her family, and her kind played during the time when the Demon King Diabolos devastated the other world, but she did know about the existence of such a powerful demon, according to what we know. Mary herself implies, when explaining to Claire Kagenou, about "Demonic Possession."
 * While in the Light Novel and Web Novel, it is mentioned that there were 4 countries that Elisabeth destroyed in her lack of control, in the manga, anime and Game, there were only 3, since the first country destroyed was a small one, which no one remembers the name of it anymore except Mary.
 * It is unknown why Mary did not mention the small country destroyed by Elizabeth in the anime and game.
 * According to Mary's account in both the Light Novel and Web Novel, on the same night Elisabeth lost control of herself and started wreaking havoc in the small country, a mysterious "king" confronted her. This king was apparently the ruler of the very country she was in the process of destroying.
 * Although Elisabeth's real age is not known, it is speculated that she is over a thousand years old, (possibly during the time of the demon Diabolos or maybe before), as understood. (up to the current date).
 * Elisabeth, Aurora, and Akane Nishino found themselves in similar circumstances, all desiring a life filled with peace, happiness, and harmony with those around them. They yearned for something more than anything else. While Aurora, who had been a victim as a child and lacked the love she longed for, still clung to that hope. In the end, all three were used, betrayed, and faced with situations that forced them to sacrifice what mattered most, even their loved ones. Aurora, consumed by power, rage, and a hint of contempt, felt resentment towards everyone for denying her the chance to experience love and be loved in return.
 * Curiously, although Elisabeth and Mary left the lawless city to look for a better life and their long-awaited, "ideal paradise", in the Manga-Chibi, she is seen returning from time to time, to buy things, ( the reason is unknown). (It is not known if the things that come out of the chibi manga can be considered canonical at all, until now the game, yes).
 * Within the Game, During the route of ["Dating with the Protagonist Cid Kagenou"], Elisabeth reveals to him that she has been given many names (aside from the titles and nicknames she currently has), but she prefers him to call her Elisabeth.
 * Within the Game, it is revealed that like the other girls who met the protagonist, Elisabeth has awakened feelings towards Cid, but in a similar way to Eta, since she sees Cid Kagenou, as a combination between love and gluttony, but more than all love.
 * According to Elisabeth, the nights for her were sad, since they did not let her sleep well, but when she met and began to fall in love with Cid Kagenou, "the gentleman who saved her", she felt that when she was with him, the nights made her feel very happy, which would allow her to sleep peacefully and dream about her love.
 * After that, Elisabeth ordered Mary not to wake her forcibly, when Elisabeth dreamed very well and happily, during those nights she spent with her "Gentleman."
 * When Crimson performs the resurrection ritual, Elisabeth's heart in the novel looks like a normal body organ, but in the anime, it looks like an artifact rather than an organ.
 * Curiously, Claire Kagenou proposed resurrecting and protecting Elisabeth, after the 3 consecutive days of the Red Moon had passed, as a support so that Elisabeth, and Mary, could create their own land. Which turned out to be counterproductive both to Elisabeth's desire and, in part, to Mary.
 * It is unknown if Claire Kagenou was aware of what bringing Elisabeth back by any other means was at all involved, since as Mary understood, it takes the blood life of a young boy or girl to bring her back. to Elisabeth, mainly. (It is partly unknown, if a tremendous magical power is also required, for this too, such as that offered by the Red Moon.)
 * Since being revived, Elisabeth reaches out to Claire Kagenou through Mary for a mutual beneficial agreement, mainly seeing if Claire can secure blood transfusion bags for sustenance, a way to get a hold of a large quantity but to avoid killing any more humans, in turn, Clare requests training in her newly found Vampiric Powers under Elisabeth.
 * Elisabeth has a secret agenda to discuss Vampirism relation with Demonic Possession, which in turn means she wishes to also converse and talk with Aurora directly, knowing enough about her and have a familiar banter.
