A dainty boy with an ephemeral beauty. Quiet, he gives off a mysterious air and distances himself a bit from others in his orbit.
In-game Album
Appearance
Epel is a young-looking young man with fair skin and a height considerably shorter than his peers. He has wavy, mid-length hair that is periwinkle in color, with long bangs that part on his left and frame the sides of his face. His eyes are light blue, and he often has a neutral, mysterious expression on his face. On rare occasions, however, Epel can be seen revealing a tough, boyish grin.
Dorm Uniform
Epel’s dorm uniform is similar to the rest of the Pomefiore students. Epel also wears dark-purple winged eyeshadow while in uniform. The uniform consists of a violet robe, a black button-up shirt underneath, black pants, and black and gold heeled boots.
Epel’s violet robe reaches his knees in length. The underlining is deep-red, with an intricate baroque pattern depicting several poisoned apples. Also underneath most parts of the robe is a layer of black sheer fabric.
His robe folds at the front in a kimono-like fashion. The sleeves open up at the shoulders, and reach the knees in length. Both sleeves have a gold, baroque pattern near the ends. The left shoulder of the robe also has this patterning, and includes the symbol of Pomefiore. On the chest area of the robe are three golden straps, with a design similar to that of a marching band uniform. Around his waist is a wide, black sash, with a red rope over it, tied on his left side. The ends of the rope also reach the knees in length, and has large red and yellow tassels at the ends.
The black button-up shirt worn underneath his robe has long sleeves and a white, wingtip collar. The ends of the sleeves have a lace-like pattern, and a single loop that goes around the middle finger. His black pants have a leather-like shine to them. The heeled boots are mostly black, but the laces, soles, and toe cap are colored gold. On the back of the boots is a gold baroque design.
Personality
Epel appears to be a soft-spoken, gentle person with a dainty charm. He's not talkative, has a mysterious impression and keeps his distance. However, contradictory to what people may think of him initially, Epel has a strong competetive spirit and short temper. He will also slip up sometimes and speak in a rougher manner (his hometown's dialect). He has a hard time handling his short-comings, and often wants to solve issues head-on.
Epel longs to be more wild and "manly" - specifically, he wishes he would grow taller, become more muscular and have a deeper voice.[1] He dislikes being considered or called cute and people misjudging his character based on his looks. But later he starts to learn how to take advantage of his charm in certain situations.[2]
Background
Neither of Epel's parents are mages, but his grandma and great-grandma are both witches. His family deals with growing and selling apples. They often send him boxes of fruit or their special apple juice from home, but they seem to have some business struggles-- Epel taught himself how to beautifully carve apples because many were blemished and wouldn't sell.[3] He also mentioned wanting to make a potion that could strengthen weak apple trees, as this would make his grandpa happy.[4]
Signature Spell
Your eyes will close, your breath will still… Crimson Slumber.
Epel Felmier
Epel's signature spell is called "Crimson Slumber". It allows him to encase an individual in a glass coffin, and causes them to fall asleep. It can be used to protect allies from harm, as well as trap enemies and prevent them from attacking. Can also be used to let someone rest safely.[5] It was first used when MC and a Styx Staffer was in danger, albeit without realizing at first.[6]
