'''Jelaqua Ivirith''', also known as '''Ivirith the Tempest''', is a [[Selphids|Selphid]], and the leader of the [[Halfseekers]], a Gold-Rank [[Adventurers|Adventurer]] team.

== Appearance ==

==== Human Body: (''Formerly'') ====
A dead female Human body, with deathly white skin and perfectly black eyes, that wore a black chainmail.<ref name=":2.26">[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/05/17/2-22/ Chapter 2.26]</ref>

<nowiki> </nowiki>After having the top of her head severed by [[Regrika Blackpaw|Regrika]],<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/04/21/4-30/ Chapter 4.30]</ref> it was sewn together, and while the stitches were hard to see at a distance, up close they were noticeable.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/04/24/4-31/ Chapter 4.31]</ref> Over time the black stitches around her forehead started looking slightly loose, and the severed bit appeared pallid and rotting. It also started to smell slightly, in which she had to cover the scent with a strong lavender smell.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/05/08/4-33/ Chapters 4.33] & [https://wanderinginn.com/2018/07/10/5-00/ 5.00]</ref>

==== Drake Body: (''Formerly'') ====
After losing her old body during the [[Moth's Attack on Liscor]], she got a female junior Drake body, with grey-green scales. The body is fit and has a scar along the side of the mouth.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/08/21/5-13/ Chapter 5.13]</ref>

[[File:Jelaqua_by_MG.jpg|thumb|Jelaqua using a Raskghar body]]
=== Raskghar Body: (''Currently'') ===
Jelaqua changed her body more often afterwards: thanks to Erin's [Field of Preservation] skill, she could arrange with the [Innkeeper] to have a stack of [[Raskghar]] bodies stored in the Inn's basement. She often uses these bodies in battle, or sometimes when she's with [[Maughin]]; but it puts off Liscor's citizens especially so she has to keep changing them.

== Personality ==
Jelaqua is cheerful and spirited, even when deep in the depths of a dungeon. She tends to act like the "big sister" among the adventurers of The Wandering Inn. She considers her team to be her family and is highly protective of them. For instance, she once severely injured [[Ulinde|another Selphid]] for attacking Moore and Seborn,<ref>[[Chapter 6.58]]</ref> despite it being traditional for Selphids not to fight each other in battle, even when hired.<ref>[[Chapter 7.32 D]]</ref> This level of care also extends to her friends and comrades, with her being willing to go against [[the Minds]] to protect them. While used to dealing with prejudice for being a Selphid, she became somewhat self-conscious of herself when she entered a relationship with [[Maughin]].  

She has a fascination for muscular bodies, and was seen blushing when admiring [[Grimalkin Duveig|Grimalkin]].<ref>{{VERef|Chapter 6.32}}</ref>  

== Background ==
Jelaqua used to be a fisher in a village, but she did not like that life and grew tired of it. She became a bounty hunter, then switched to being a mercenary when she felt she wasn't moving forward, and ran a company. She switched once more to being a silver-rank adventurer, where she discovered she preffered helping people to killing.<ref>{{VERef|Halfseekers (Pt. 6) – Interlude}}</ref> 

Jelaqua had adventured for 33 years, making her the most senior adventurer in [[Liscor]] prior to the arrival of the [[Pallass]] adventuring teams.<ref name=":1">[[Chapter 5.35 H]]</ref>

== Trivia ==
* When [[Typhenous]] was still  young, he had heard of Jelaqua, who was a Silver-rank adventurer at that time, coming from [[Baleros]] to [[Issrysil|Izril]].<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/03/17/4-19/ Chapter 4.19]</ref>
* She is 51 years old and has been adventuring for about 33 years.<ref name=":1" />
*Jelaqua's new Demas Metal flail might be the same bladed flail that no Gnoll wanted in [https://wanderinginn.com/2022/02/23/8-66/ Chapter 8.66], as the [[Demas Metal Tribe]] had only created bladed weapons to take better advantage of the alloy's properties.<ref name=":0" /> This was confirmed in [[Chapter 9.13]].
