Karia Nevan[1] (カーリャ・ネヴァン Kaarya Nevan?, "Karya Nevan") is a character in Tales of the Rays, and was originally Gefion's mirrite.
History[]
Karia was exoflected by Gefion shortly after her heart recovered from the incident in Glasswater Woods. When Gefion learned the nature of mirrites and how they are typically exoflected in order to be killed to produce chiral particles, she promised Karia that she would never kill her. Regardless of this, the government of Sellund later made an exception for Karia, allowing her to continue to exist, as Gefion's heart would be too weak to withstand detaching Karia in the first place.
When Karia realized Gefion truly planned to sacrifice herself as part of the Aegis Project, she tried to stop her. However, Gefion held fast and detached Karia to protect her from the effects of her sacrifice. At this time, she also removed and entrusted a large portion of her memories to Karia, including those of Karia herself. The entrusted memories were to be eventually given to Gefion's exoflection, Mileena Weiss. Despite this, Karia was still determined to save Gefion from her chosen fate.
Fairy's Requiem[]
Karia first appears in front of Dhaos when he stands by the mirrage prison, wondering if there is a way to return to his world. Karia states that Gefion used to know the answer, but that she herself does not. When asked who she is, she states "I am Karia. I used to be Miss Mileena's mirrite."
She appears again in front of Dhaos when Marcus Grimm is asking him to side with the Salvation Front, surprising the latter in her appearance after all this time. Once she meets up with the second Mileena, who she dubs as "the small Miss Mileena," she tells them all what she has been through and the nature of dead mirrites. She makes it clear to them that her goal is to study them further, and to eventually find a way to save Gefion from the mirrage prison.
Appearance and Personality[]

Karia is a woman with a purple bob and green eyes. She wears a white jacket with flaps on the back with a very large black bow around her neck. Her look is completed with black shorts and white boots on heels. The boots reach the middle of her upper thighs.
Karia is fairly serious, but is not as no-nonsense as she first appears, as she is prone to blushing and gets flustered easily. She teases Marcus and asks that he not call her "paisen" (パイセン?), claiming he is childish for using it. She does not wish to be compared to Mileena's Karia, as she views her as a different person, but recognizes that she used to be very similar to her, albeit a bit more serious. She claims she still has a sweet tooth, just as Mileena's Karia does. Due to Gefion's feelings being passed down to her, she holds feelings for Ix Nieves.
Fighting Style[]

Karia fights using a rather short red-bladed rapier, as well as incorporates kicks into her arsenal. She focuses on speed, and has the ability to teleport to mirrages she places around the battlefield at will. Many of her artes consist of mirrors, or references to mirrors. One of her mirrage artes is Fairy's Requiem, referencing the Fairy's Requiem arc of the game.
Trivia[]
- Karia's surname, Nevan, is a katakana render of Neamhain, a reference to a goddess associated with war in Irish mythology.
