Elissa

Elissa is the resident mage of Serpent's Fang, and met the Avatar during the quest to recover the Silver Seed in Ultima VII Part Two. She also works at the side as a Trainer for the Art of Magic.

Description
Elissa at first was very weary of the Avatar, not wanting to converse much until seeing the Amulet of Balance. She was astounded that a champion of Balance could even exist so far into the war, ranting on how impossible this should have been considering the situation.

Unlike Tsandar and Surok, who were weary of Isstanar for their own reasons, Elissa spoke of her admiration for Isstanar, desiring to eventually follow in his stead and make the "final sacrifice" to have her soul transferred into an automaton. She admitted however that Tsandar had good reason to be depressed, since Isstanar was not exactly 'alive' and he now never would get a chance to ascend to the post of commander. Unlike Tsandar and Surok, who felt sorrow over the loss, Elissa felt that former commander Ardiniss had started to grow soft with old age and was glad he died in battle instead of falling into disgrace.

She appeared to be a proficient magic-user and merchant, and was more than happy to sell several spells for gold coins. Elissa also offered the Avatar magical training for a price, which made her the only magic trainer available to the hero. Despite the excellent results, she revealed during training due to various mishaps that she wasn't a natural teacher.
