La Duquesa Khrissalla, más conocida como Khriss, es una mujer saltamundos originaria del país de Elis en el Lado Oscuro de Taldain.
Apariencia y Personalidad
Khriss tiene la tez oscura, dado que es de Lado Oscuro de Taldain. Tiene los ojos marrones y lleva el pelo trenzado. Cuando está en Lado Diurno, Khriss lleva unas gafas de sol oscuras, ya que no está acostumbrada a la luz del sol de Lado Diurno. También lleva un sombrero de ala ancha para detener los rayos solares. [1]
Khriss es una erudita formada en la universidad y es extremadamente curiosa. Busca entender y encontrar explicaciones científicas para todo lo que puede.[2]
Atributos y Habilidades
Khriss es una de las eruditas más consumadas de la magia en el Cosmere. Sabe más del Cosmere y sus sistemas de magia que Nazh, su asistente, y que Hoid, que está vivo desde antes de la Fragmentación.[3] Colecciona su conocimiento en el Ars Arcana.[4] En su lista de preguntas por responder, está a la cabeza el Más Allá y qué pasa en él, seguida de cómo sacar Luz tormentosa de Roshar.[5]
Historia
Taldain
Khriss estuvo prometida durante un tiempo con Gevalden--o Gevin, como prefería en situaciones informales[6]-- el Príncipe de Elis. Antes de su boda, Gevalden viajó a Lado Diurno en búsqueda de los míticos Magos de Arena, donde desapareció y se consideró que había muerto. Khriss, determinada a encontrar lo que su prometido estaba tratando de descubrir, viajó a Lado Diurno con Baon, Cynder, y Jon Acron.[1] Conoce a Kenton al poco tiempo del ataque de Kerztian a los Maestros de la Arena, y este acepta ser su guía hasta Kezare, donde separan sus caminos.[7] Allí conoce a Loaten e intenta, sin éxito, indagar información sobre Gevin.[6] Después, busca a los Taisha, ya que piensa que Gevin podría conocerlos. No consigue reunirser con ninguno de ellos hasta que descubre que Kenton es el Mastrell Cardinal.[8]
Aunque al principio se puso furiosa, finalmente eligió asistir a su misión para conservar el Diem.[9] Continuó ayudando incluso después de la noticia de que su prometido supuestamente había muerto [10] e intentó investigar las mecánicas de la maestría de la arena.[11] Después de la fiesta en casa del almirante cardinal, decidió intentar aprendiendolo ella misma, empleando la ayuda de Kenton, pero sus intentos resultan fútiles y no consigue desarrollar habilidad alguna con la maestría de la arena.[12]
Khriss eventually discovered that it was Baon that killed Captain Deral and his lieutenant, and that he was sent to Elis by the Dynasty.[13] Trying to find Baon before he left the city, she asked N'Teese to arrange a meeting with Nilto for her, to ask if he knew Baon's whereabouts.[12] During this meeting Nilto called her "Khriss", causing her to realize his identity as Gevin. She confronted him at the docks as he was attempting to leave the city when Jon Acron appeared and revealed himself as an assassin sent by the Dynasty to kill Gevalden. After running from Acron, Khriss used a crane to knock him into the harbor. She asked Gevin to return with her to Darkside, but he refused in favor of continuing to help people on Dayside.[14]
She traveled with Kenton to Lraezare to find the Lord Merchant, and they returned to Kezare once Kenton made his deal with him. Searching for the Lord General, Khriss was present when they discovered his body in the wine cellar.[15]
After the Diem was restored, Khriss returned to Darkside to test Sand Mastery there.[16]
Silverlight
At some point Khriss was involved in the founding of a university in Silverlight.[17]
Scadrial
“You've stumbled into something far, far bigger than you, your politics, or your little planet.”
—Khriss to Kelsier[18]
Khriss and Nazh were discovered by Kelsier in the Cognitive Realm of Scadrial. The pair enlightened Kelsier on how the events on Scadrial were affecting the cosmere. They remained quite vague as to why they were there - although Khriss mentioned wanting to see what the death of a Shard looks like - or about other events elsewhere in the cosmere that were unrelated to the current conflict. Khriss refused his requests for help and they left abruptly after Kelsier told them of his meeting with Drifter.[18] Since then, she has worked with Thaidakar on research at least once.[19]
She later appeared at a party in New Seran in post-Catacendre Scadrial.[20] There she stole a dance with Waxillium Ladrian and asked him questions about his powers and how they related to physics. She was also mentioned in a broadsheet ad, telling people who hear talking tools to contact Khriss and Nazh.[21]
Relationships
Nazh
The mapmaker Nazh is in her employ.[22] She commonly sends him out to procure maps, documents and other illustrations for her, particularly in high-risk environments. Although the two argue fairly often, they are good friends and Nazh is fiercely loyal to her.[23]
Gevalden
Before she left Darkside for the first time, she was engaged to prince Gevalden of Elis. They appear to have been quite close, enough so that Khriss organized an expedition to find him on her own following his disappearance on Dayside.[1] After discovering his identity as Nilto, she asks him to return to Darkside with her. He refuses, saying he will not return after being injured, and that he and Khriss have both changed too much to have a relationship.[14]

- ↑ Baon, who has the same skin tone as Khriss, was seen by Ishikk as Makabaki. Therefore it follows that he would think the same of Khriss.
