Goddess Ilias/Paradox

Everyone's favorite goddess is back and this time she's on your side. Technically she was on your side in the original and you betrayed her but those little details won't come back to haunt you in Paradox, probably.

Biography
Goddess Ilias is first met in a dream. She tries to warn Luka of great danger but her voice and words are cut out by some weird static before she herself disappears.

When Luka is climbing the mountain to save Hans, Ilias falls from the sky and makes a crater right in front of him. She proclaims herself the Goddess of Creation but Luka brushes her off due to her tiny form. She tries to punish him with Thunder of Retribution but ends up only giving Luka a tiny static shock. She realizes she has been sealed but has no memory of how it happened, and runs off on her own.

Luka saves Hans and returns to Iliasville for his baptism despite Goddess Ilias having disappeared since the Great Disaster, thirty years ago. However, Goddess Ilias does appear before Luka telling him that the world is in danger and he must save it, even though she does not have enough power to baptize him properly.

Sonya warns Luka of a fight going on his house between two little girls. He arrives to find Alice and Ilias in a childish quarrel which he puts a stop to. They force Luka to choose one of them to go along with him. If Luka choose Ilias, she joins the party but is shocked to learn that Luka just came from his baptism where she, allegedly, showed up. Now, Luka's dad is still alive and he has a new childhood friend and Ilias doesn't understand any of it, only that this world is not supposed to be this way.

World Interactions
"Luka, just slice her head off and be done with it. We'll bury her in the field and let her blood fertilize the strawberries." - Ilias advising Luka on how to help out a farmer with an Imp in their field.

If not chosen to be Luka's companion, Luka and Alice will find Ilias at set locations in the world, gathering allies and trying to figure out what happened to her on her own, or eating lunch.

Trivia

 * So far, there are potentially three Iliases seen in Paradox, all within the first ten minutes of gameplay. There is the Ilias in his dream which is attacked by something. There is the Ilias who baptizes him and is mostly likely doing the evaluations. And there is the sealed Ilias who travels with Luka. However, the first Ilias might be the same as the third, only sealed after the attack.
