Chalis

Chalis is an antagonist in Golden Sun: Dark Dawn. Together with Blados, she is one of the commanders of a secretive military nation named Tuaparang.

=General Information= Chalis is described as an individual of bewitching beauty rarely seen in Angara. Working with Blados, she seeks to direct Matthew and his group towards her goals. She was able to infiltrate Kaocho by promising its king access to Adepts, who would be able to help overthrow Ayuthay and Passaj. She and her country repeatedly use the protagonists to accomplish their ambiguous goals.

Heart, her Japanese name, likely refers to the playing card suit of the same name. This is supported by the heart symbol that adorns her gown. Her English name refers to the equivalent suit of cups or chalices in the Minor Arcana of tarot.

Golden Sun: Dark Dawn
Blados and Chalis's mission is to activate Luna Tower and take control of the Apollo Lens. For reasons yet unknown, they are ordered not to kill Matthew and his party unless necessary, which they attempt to do at Apollo Sanctum by turning Volechek into a Chaos Hound.

Blados and Chalis are Dark Adepts, capable of wielding Dark Psynergy, an new element introduced in Dark Dawn. However, there is still very little information known about Dark Adepts and their Psynergy, other than that the Umbra Clan is incredibly secluded in wherever Tuaparang is located; it is  secluded that few of Weyard are aware of their existence until the final events of Golden Sun: Dark Dawn.

Belinsk Ruins
Chalis is fought alongside her partner Blados in the room of the Alchemy Dynamo, located within Belinsk Ruins.

Quotes

 * In Kaocho Palace:
 * Chalis: "My dear Kan-Shuku, I know far more than you ever will."
 * Kan-Shuku: "How DARE you!"
 * Chalis: "Spare me, Kan-Shuku, and do try to look impressive. We have guests."


 * Chalis: (To her own soldiers) "Well done, men. Now, out of my sight."


 * King Wo: "Now, Chalis, tell me exactly who our little visitors ARE."
 * Kan-Shuku: "Let me do the honors, Your Majesty! These are Adepts!"
 * Chalis: "You bumbling toadie, Kan-Shuku - you really know nothing at all. These are quite... exceptional Adepts."


 * Chalis: "So Adepts, you want to explore the Ouroboros? To steal its relic for yourself, perhaps? Let's oblige them, Your Highness."
 * Meisa: "Ah, Chalis, you ARE a viper. Yes, I agree. Let's get them to the Ouroboros-posthaste!"


 * Chalis: "True Adepts have a way of proving their worth, Kan-Shuku. And I think that those Adepts are diamonds in the rough. If they survive the fall, they'll soon learn that they can't truly enter the Ouroboros-not yet anyway. Serving you in Ayuthay would have polished them up. That would give them just the strength they need. I suspect that this isn't the last we'll see of those Adepts. They'll come back to Kaocho when they're ready, now that they know what's in the Ouroboros."


 * On Talon Peak:
 * Chalis: "Hello, everyone. Lovely to see you all again."


 * Hou Zan: "Let's find out what they have to say."
 * Chalis: "Why, thank you! At least the older generation still remembers its manners."


 * In Belinsk Ruins:
 * Blados: (To Matthew's group) "You really did make it. I guess you win our bet, Chalis."
 * Chalis: "Yes, thank you, dear Matthew! I feel like I could hug you."


 * Arcanus: "Enough. Place the orb in the machine. Now. You don't want to know what will happen if you don't cooperate."
 * Tyrell: "Oh, yeah? I'm kinda curious, actually." (Blados and Chalis warp forward to where the Adepts are.)
 * Blados: "Then I guess we have to show you. Darn."
 * Chalis: "Agreed. It's time to show these little brats who's in charge here." (The duo attack Matthew's group.)


 * Blados: (After being defeated along with Chalis) "Not bad. I guess we did underestimate you."
 * Chalis: "Let's not be too hasty. We were outnumbered, after all."
