Profile
Sleipial Ni Aibell is an aes'sidhe War Dancer from Crann Mor, Thorthuil. She is the daughter of Aibell and Dubhlainn. Her given name is Maev.
Ran away from home, Sleipial found her place among the guilds. One day, she took an unusual request from a vate officials to escort a vate to Aistear Creidimh. The vate she needs to escort was Spica. Upon seeing her, Sleipial was smitten; she worked hard to finish the request and win her heart. She and Spica later met a trojan named Rudolph who swore allegiance to them.
She has chateruse eyes and short dark sapphire hair. Later in her journey, her hair grew longer. She has a short temper, and generally dislikes obnoxious men. On the other side, she adores cute things and like to eat ice cream. Sleipial is somehow afraid of ghosts, as she cannot hit something ethereal. In battle, she wields a sidhe bladebow and also uses healing spells. She is more lethal in close range, but cannot take many hits.
She is the best cook in party and can make various dishes. When idling in a town, she can be found in the hunter's guild, automatically doing errands. At times she sings together in bars with Kirsche.
Her journey represents her fear and survival instinct. In a crisis, she is desperately hanging to something that is collapsing. It is inevitable that despite her fear she must let go and face the unknown.
Sleipial's name came from an approach to feminize "Sleipnir", incidentally it sounds similar to "slaidear", which means thief, referring to her habit of stealing women's heart. She is 21 years old during the event of Requiem of the Twilight Star, 172 cm tall and weighs 58 kg.

Author Notes
Soulcalibur III
Sleipial's slightly revamped outfit for SC3. She is one of few fiction characters to have a different default outfit in SC3, SC4, and SC5. This outfit eventually scrapped in favor of her faerie-ish SC5 outfit.
Soulcalibur IV
- Costume 1
- If people look back at the SCIII creation, Sleipial was listed as human. In further development, changing her to faerie allows more twist to the plot, so there she is.
- Costume 2
- Sleipial's battle faerie costume. This peculiar costume has been remodeled and recolored several times from dark purple to navy to burgundy, before finally settling on leaf-color.
Soulcalibur BD
- Costume 1
- This is similar to her SC4 version with a wider color spectrum. Her color scheme is #089, Thai Silk Stores.
- Costume 2
- Her powered-up version, Poison. Poison's outfit aims to be as close as possible to be a classic faerie, thus the sleek look.
- Costume 3 by tanleeseng
- Perseonn Balthasaar: This fits her later personality more. The wrap is a bit off, but I don't think there's anything better.
Soulcalibur V
- Costume 1
- Intended to be artwork accurate, down to her butterfly ears. However, I changed the color scheme to green so she can represent a bud, while her Poison form represent a flower.
- Costume 2 ~ Poison
- Her transcendence form, which she has from the beginning in fiction Chronicles: Requiem of the Twilight Star. Poison enhances Sleipial's already high speed and initiative, as well as making all of her physical attacks have guaranteed poison status. At first I went for a classic faerie look like her BD version, but I changed my mind and went for a flower petal theme instead. Her second costume in SC4 is a precursor to this.
- Costume 3
- The outfit she wears during the events of Prelude of the Midnight Sun. The color scheme is from her old outfit, Burgundy Blossom. The change in her hairstyle intended to represents the change on her life, being more matured and now full of hope. The moveset is also changed to the calmer Ezio, to reflect this.
- Costume 4 ~ Poison
- This is the alternate color of Poison during the events of Prelude of the Midnight Sun.
- Costume 5 ~ Poison
- The outfit she wears during the events of Echo. Similar to the BD version of Poison, this is a classic faerie look and a homage to Monster Rancher 2's Poison. The thigh-high "stocking" is created using her skin color, while her normal skin is created with stickers.
Warriors Series
- Dynasty Warriors 7
- Sleipial is designed for easy movement. This is the only game in which I can put her melee and ranged weapon together.
- Dynasty Warriors 8 ~ Costume 1
- I made her more combat-ready than 7E version. Her hairstyle is also different.
- Dynasty Warriors 8 ~ Costume 2
- Her later outfit now have short hair, supposed to be shorter than her Costume 1.
- Samurai Warriors 4 ~ Costume 1
- Looks less regal than the DW version due to lack of interesting hairpiece, unfortunately.
- Samurai Warriors 4 ~ Costume 2
- Her later self.
