Judith

A a playable character in Tales of Vesperia that wields a spear. She is a member of the Kritya (クリティア, Kuritia?) tribe, a minority race.

Personality
She appears to be one of the more mysterious, mature and rational members of the team. She is gentle-looking, perceptive, composed, receptive, and often acts without explaining her actions, thus she cannot get an impression of the current situation. She is also decisive, persistent, witty, somewhat impulsive, and quite bold, apparently prefering to wear several revealing outfits, particularly her default outfit and her bunny outfit. She is also very flirtacious and apparently enjoys teasing the male members of the team, especially Raven and Karol, and often makes suggestive comments about 'showing a little more' of her already-impressive figure. Estelle has humorously shown to be jealous of it. She has also stated that she is "not a very good liar".

Origins
Judith was born in the Krityan city of Myorzo. As a child she then descended to Terca Lumireis with her parents to reside in the Mount Temza. It was there she first met the Entelexeia Ba'ul and forged a strong bond and friendship with the creature. Years later during the Great War, both of Judith parents and most of the Krityan community were killed in the battle at Mount Temza. Judith however was saved by Ba'ul and escaped elsewhere in Terca Lumireis.

Pre-game events
Judith grew up accustomed to fighting which is very unlike the nature of Krityans. Keeping in close contact with the Entelexeia, Judith learns of the intricacies of Blastia and the effects they have on the world's Aer especially that of the Hermes Blastia. It is later discovered in the game that Hermes was actually Judith's father who too had realised the dangers of the blastia he had created.

Judith then undertook upon herself to destroy all Hermes blastias in the world relying on Ba'ul's capabilities of sensing disturbances in the aer to find them. She swore upon her spear, Brionac, donned an armor and rode Ba'ul. She is also known as the "Dragon Rider" to those who witness her destroying these Hermes Blastia.

Dragon Rider
Judith first chanced with the group at Capua Nor as the Dragon Rider where she burst into the magistrate's mansion to destroy the Hermes Blastia that could control the weather.

Their second meeting was at Caer Bocram where the Hunting Blades were using a Hermes blastia, a reverse barrier, to keep the then thought to be a monster, Gusios, in check.

Later she appeared to the party when they were resting in Heliord, however did not attack them and simply flew off. It was later revealed that the disturbance in the aer was caused by Estelle. Upon discovering that Estelle was a human and not a blastia, Judith hesistated and decided to monitor her instead.

Their last meeting with her as the Dragon Rider would be at Dahngrest where presumably she was there to destroy Barbos's weapon, yet another Hermes blastia. There Yuri Lowell requested for a lift from her to Barbos's hideout where she silently consented. There she was forcefully dismounted from Ba'ul and captured with Yuri in Ghasfaroth's prison cell.

It was then Judith is revealed to be a Krityan and working in tandem with Yuri and later the team to break out of prison and defeat Barbos. After Barbos' defeat, Judith temporarily leaves the party.

Judith and Brave Vesperia
Judith later rejoins the party when they find her after Phaeroh's attack on Dahngrest. Later she joins the newly formed guild Brave Vesperia out of curiosity as well as wanting to observe Estelle from up close. Judith is initally very critical of Estelle, calling her a selfish princess on occasion. Throughout their journey, she undertakes a couple of secret missions where she secretly destroys Hermes blastias the party comes across.

Up till this point, no one other than Yuri knows that she is the "Dragon Rider". Later, distraught by the death of Belius, upon discovering the Fiertia was equipped with a Hermes blastia engine, she immediately destroys it without a second thought or any attempt to conceal her identity. At this point she leaves the party on Ba'ul and the party realises that she was the "Dragon Rider"

After some events, the party searches for Judith at Mount Temza where is seen fighting off the Hunting Guild whom are attempting to subdue Ba'ul who was currently undergoing a conversion to the second stage of an Entelexeia. It was there she reveals to Brave Vesperia of her reasons for destroying blastia. They then fight off Tison and Nan and observe Ba'ul being reborn as a true Entelexeia.

In later parts of the story, Judith is seen to have changed on her stance of destroying blastia and putting more faith in humans, especially Estelle and Brave Vesperia. She even goes as far as attempting to convince Phaeroh of this fact.

The ending depicts Judith still travelling the world with Ba'ul and occasionally reuniting with Brave Vesperia.
