Kizmel

Kizmel (キズメル) is a Pagoda Knight, and an elite quest Non-Player Character (NPC) for the Elf War campaign. She partied with Kirito and Asuna as they completed chapters of the Elf War campaign.

Appearance
Kizmel is a dark skinned Dark Elf, with lilac hair and violet eyes. Kizmel wears a dark cloak which has a high level charm on it which allows her to turn fully invisible during the night. She wears purple coloured light armor under her cloak.

Personality
Kizmel had a high level of intelligence that would make people question whether she is just an artificial intelligence.

Concerto of Black and White
Kizmel was locked in combat against a Forest Elf in the Forest of Wavering Mists when Kirito and Asuna came upon them. Both elves ordered them to leave, but the players ignored them and pointed their weapons at the Forest Elf as pre-agreed between them, thus aligning their allegiance with the Dark Elves and drawing the aggression of the Forest Elf onto them. To everyone but Asuna's surprise, they managed to defeat the Forest Elf without losing half their health. After several seconds of motionless silence, Kizmel retrieved the bag of leaves holding the Jade Key from where the Forest Elf's body had vanished and thanked Kirito and Asuna for their help before inviting them to come with her to the Dark Elf Base where they could give the Jade Key to the Dark Elf Commander, who would reward them for their assistance. Asuna agreed in a still-stunned Kirito's place, and the Dark Elven Royal Guard led them through the misty woods, dispatching any monsters they encountered and quickly finding their way to the camp, which she proudly announced had been hidden by a Forest-Sinking charm. When Asuna wondered at the presence of charms in a world without magic, Kizmel clarified that the charms were but an echo of the magic they possessed before her people, the dark elves of Lyusula, were cut free from the earth.

After they were debriefed and remunerated by the commander, Kizmel thanked them once again and asked for their names. When Kirito and Asuna clarified their pronunciation, Kizmel offered them the shared use of her tent, as there were no spares, then left for the dining tent. About an hour later, Kizmel entered her tent while Kirito and Asuna were inside and offered the services of the dining and bathing tents, as well as her own assistance, then disrobed for resting, prompting Asuna to drag Kirito out of the tent.

On the next quest, Kizmel accompanied Kirito and Asuna to the Queen Spider's Cave. However, there they encountered Kibaou's party, which was progressing through the guild formation quest.

Trivia

 * In all reported cases of the quest during the SAO beta, Kizmel would sacrifice herself to defeat Forest Elf, instead of staying to help the quest takers. After Kirito and Asuna managed to keep Kizmel from dying in the official version, another dark elf took the place of Kizmel as the quest starter for the dark elf side of the campaign quest for any other player attempting the quest.
 * Kizmel has revealed that she has had several dreams of her encounters with Kirito during the beta test.
