Elq Hrqstn

Elq Hrqstn (エルク・ハルクステン, Eruku Harukusuten) is a young girl who appears in Chtholly's dreams. She is a supporting character in Suka Suka and Suka Moka.

Background
Elq Hrqstn is a young girl who appears in Chtholly's dreams when Chtholly starts undergoing mental degradation. As time goes by, Elq gradually reveals her origins to Chtholly as well as the truth behind the creation of Leprechauns.

Origins
Elq Hrqstn was originally a young girl from an race of ascendant humans called "Visitors." She came to this planet with the first Visitors from another world. As all of the other Visitors were terra-forming the planet in the hopes of recreating their homeworld, Elq was kept in a Visitor spaceship being protected by her three guardians (Poteau), Ebon Candle, Jade Nail and Carmine Lake.

Eventually, the Visitors started turning all of the natural inhabitants into Humans/Emnetwihts by breaking themselves into curse fragments,. They then created the other races like the Lycantropos to prevent the Emnetwihts from growing too much, leaving Elq as one of the few remaining Visitors left. Elq then went into a deep sleep that lasted for hundred and thousands of years.

War with Emnetwihts
As hundred and thousands of years went by, the curse that kept that Emnetwihts in their human forms eventually started to fade. Faced with the prospect of eventually turning back into beasts, the humans formed an organization called 'True World' that naturally sought to recreate the curse that kept them humans.

Eventually, they discovered that they could this by using the corpse of a Visitor, so the humans created the Regal Braves, the Kariyons and various military weapons to take control of other nations and combat the Poteau and Elq with. Sensing the danger, Jade Nail left the sanctuary where Elq was held and started a war with the humans. As the humans naturally isolated themselves from the other species because of their militant ways, they sought one last battle to decide the fate of the world.

Meeting Lilia Aspray
Eventually, Elq's other two guardians left to fight in the war as well in order to protect Elq and find Jade Nail, leaving her all alone to sleep in her bedroom. This continued until one day, when a young red haired girl named Lilia Aspray broke into Elq's sanctuary. Seeing the strange battered girl and her sword, Elq naturally inquired as to who she was and why she was here. But, each time she spoke, Elq was causing inadvertently causing Lilia to suffer from great pain and physical damage. Eventually, the girl answered that her name was Lilia Aspray and that she was the Brave who was going to kill her and save the world. Elq replied that it seemed like a pain to do that, and in pain, Lilia replied that she had no idea.

In response, Elq then asked why she would even want to save the world. And as Lilia spurted blood from her mouth, Lilia replied that she was doing it for the sake of her love. Surprised by that concept, Elq was stunned and asked why out of love; inadvertently sending out a telepathic shockwave that ripped through Lilia's mind. Barely conscious, Lilia replied that it was out of love that she came here to slay a god. Elq became awestruck by Lilia in that moment. Seeing Elq's reaction, Lilia continued explaining that she knows it's a fool's errand, but she doesn't have a choice because the one she loves is an idiot and that she had to act on these idiotic before he could act on them himself. Lilia then states the man's name as Willem and she describes him as a ''"complete and utter moron." ''Picking up Seniorious, Lilia tells Elq to rest in peace right before stabbing Elq straight through the chest. Lilia then activated Seniorious' curse and turned Elq into a corpse, before dying herself.

Destruction of the Surface - Aftermath
After the final battle was over, Elq's corpse was taken over to the human city of Gormag. There the humans tried to recreate the curse by breaking her soul into fragments. However, the broken soul fragments were too large and the humans failed in recreating the curse. However, while she was a corpse, Elq's soul was still alive due to her nature as a Visitor.

One year after the final battle, in the course of a night, all of the humans turned into beasts and started destroying everything, even turning the lush green areas into a endless desert. In the aftermath of this, the remaining races fled to the newly created Sky Islands that were created by Souwong Kandel and Ebon Candle. The beasts were then labelled the "17 Beasts." During the attack after the human's transformation, Elq's corpse was sucked into the First Beast: Chanteur's dream world.

Creation of the Leprechauns
Meanwhile, as all of this was going on, Elq who was inside her own dream world was unable to process her own death, so she decided to dream. Out of admiration for Lilia, Elq started dreaming about wanting to become a brave and strong hero like Lilia, who fought and risked her own life to protect the ones she loved. This wish resonated with her broken soul fragments which resulted in the creation of the first Leprechauns who were compelled to grant Elq's dream. Elq's Leprechaun soul fragments then began an endless cycle of life, death and reincarnation for over 500 years, leading to the start of Suka Suka.

Appearance
Elq is a long red-haired girl who looks like a small child of 6-8 year old girl. She has red eyes and is constantly seen in a white dress.

She looks young, but being a Visitor, it is hard to tell exactly how long she has lived for.

Personality
Elq has the childish personality of a young girl her age. She likes playing games and having fun, making it hard to differ her from a regular human child.

Despite this, Elq is actually quite intelligent and mature. She is quite knowledgeable and is very good at reading people and their relationships with others.

Elq cares very deeply about her guardians, viewing them as family. She also deeply admires Lilia Aspray and aims to be like her, however, she doesn't understand what Lilia and Chtholly actually sees in Willem.
