Biography[]
Since Abelia comes from the Chronicles of the Sword mode, her canonicity is disputed.
Abelia was born in the family of a known officer of the Grandall Empire. When she entered the academy, her natural talent was quickly recognized. She came to accept the praising and respect, and eventually it pleased her, leading Abelia to believe that it was her rightful place in the world.
Then a new recruit came to the empire. Without her talent, story or culture, he/she was another soldier on the group. But he/she showed something appealing, that could not be learned or bought.
She recognized her sense of justice as only a feeling of superiority and the pleasure of being recognized. She felt a part of her heart break apart.
But when war broke on the Empire, she took her weapons and headed on her own will to protect her own justice, even if she was assigned to the same cadet who overshadowed her.
Abelia fought with her teammates to fend off the Dalkian forces, until the unit was ordered to attack the Halteese Republic as well. Abelia stayed behind and kept her attack on Dalkia, until she reached the last line of defense. But at that time, all her soldiers were defeated by Dalkia's elite force. Still, she kept her position until the player returned from Maletta during Chronicle 11. Abelia rejoined the team until Dalkia's fall.
A year later, she was once again assigned under the Cadet's leadership, this time against her former master Girardot, now a rebel. Even though he was her teacher, she held no belief in what she did as being wrong. Abelia carried out her orders against Girardot until his demise.
Then the Cadet themselves rebelled and formed the Arthias rebels. Abelia was chosen to stop him/her, believing once again that she was on the correct side. But once the player defeated her, she understood the real threat and joined them once again.

Trivia[]
- Abelia's entire costume is made from Create-a-Fighter parts. She has no original parts or features.
- In Chronicles of the Sword, Abelia is the boss in Chronicles 1 and 18. In most other chronicles, she's part of the player's list of pre-made Custom Characters.
- In Namco's Soul Archive site PROJECT SOUL, Abelia's age is listed as 32, while it was originally listed as being 21. This may be due to the period of time over which the Chronicles of the Sword unfolds.
- During the end of Chronicles of the Sword, her third possible costume is shown, along with Luna.
- Abelia's Destined Battle (during Quick Play) is Sophitia Alexandra.
- Animations from Link, in the GameCube version of Soulcalibur II, are borrowed or slightly altered for Abelia's fighting style.
- Before the fight against Abelia in Chronicle 18, the player can see a tear fall from her eye.
- Abelia seems to have a personality change after Chronicle 12, as she goes from using the more reserved and softer quotes from her voice to using the more aggressive, loud voice that would occur if the appropriate equipment is used. This is possibly since shes older and probably more seasoned in battle, as well as also believing Girardot to be a traitor.
- Her stage in Chronicle 1 is Lakeside Coliseum which is fitting her fighting discipline, the Sword and Shield.
- Abelia's hairstyle "the curly sides" also appears in Soulcalibur IV and Soulcalibur V, but with bangs.
- It is possible to create characters similiar-looking to Abelia in Soulcalibur IV, Soulcalibur: Broken Destiny, and Soulcalibur V.
