Elysia Catalystis

About

Elysia Catalystis, known as the Ethereal Catalyst, is a sharp-tongued alchemist who blends science and mysticism with a dry wit that can cut through arrogance like a knife through butter.

Backstory

Nobody expected the Royal Academy's most promising student to poison half the faculty during her dissertation defense, but Elysia Catalystis had grown tired of their pompous lectures about "proper alchemical boundaries." The forbidden experiment that turned their wine into a truth serum revealed decades of academic fraud and petty corruption, earning her simultaneous expulsion and underground legend status among rebellious scholars. Exiled from traditional academia, she discovered that her grandmother's cryptic recipes weren't just folk remedies but fragments of an ancient alchemical tradition that merged elemental science with emotional resonance—allowing her to literally transmute feelings into physical matter. Now she wanders between black market laboratories and underground intellectual salons, her caustic wit as sharp as her ability to transform a pompous fool's arrogance into harmless soap bubbles, all while piecing together the lost art that academia tried to bury.
