'''Seala'''
== History ==
Dilaf, a [[Derethi]] [[gragdet]] from [[Fjorden]], was at some point physically transformed to look like a young [[Arelene]] man using the magic of [[Dakhor]].{{book ref|elantris|60}} His intent was to infiltrate [[Arelon]],{{wob ref|2236}} which was the only remaining nation in [[Opelon]] not under Fjordell control.{{book ref|Elantris|3}} Seala met Dilaf after his transformation; despite his own distaste for his new body, she found him incredibly handsome.{{book ref|elantris|60}} Dilaf set aside his aversion to [[Aonic]] people and they were eventually married.{{wob ref|2017}}
Ten years prior to the [[Reod]], Seala fell ill with a serious palsy{{book ref|Elantris|25}} and [[Dilaf]] grudgingly took her to [[Elantris (city)|Elantris]] to be healed despite his distrust of their magic.{{book ref|Elantris|60}} An [[Elantrian]] used [[Aon#Ien|Aon Ien]] to heal her, but the symbol was drawn incorrectly and it flashed and malfunctioned, leaving her 'cursed'.{{book ref|Elantris|25}} Her hair fell out, her skin turned black, and she experienced incredible amounts of pain that never subsided, similar to fallen Elantrians after the Reod.{{book ref|Elantris|25}}{{book ref|Elantris|60}} Eventually, the pain was so intense that she effectively became [[Hoed]]{{wob ref|2207}} and committed suicide by jumping from the walls of Elantris.{{book ref|Elantris|25}}{{book ref|Elantris|60}} Dilaf found her still alive and screaming, and he burned her broken body.{{book ref|Elantris|60}} He regretted ever bringing Seala to the Elantrians and wished they would have let her die.{{book ref|Elantris|60}}
== Legacy ==
Seala's death fuels Dilaf's intense hatred of Elantrians{{wob ref|2017}} and causes him to become mentally unstable.{{wob ref|2207}} Dilaf believes that the unnamed Elantrian healer knew of his origins and intentionally botched the Aon,{{book ref|Elantris|60}} but this is not confirmed.{{wob ref|3873}} He sees the [[invasion of Arelon]] as vengeance for Seala.{{book ref|Elantris|61}}
Raoden learns of Seala's case in a book about unusual occurrences with [[AonDor]].{{book ref|Elantris|19}}{{book ref|Elantris|25}} Her case gives him some clues about the nature of fallen Elantrians and the corruption of their magic.{{book ref|Elantris|25}}
== Trivia ==
* Her name is based on [[Aon#Sea|Aon Sea]], which means "chastity or faithfulness".
