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
When first encountered by Kirito and Asuna, Kizmel was locked in combat against a Forest Elf in the Forest of Wavering Mists. Both elves ordered them to leave, but the players ignored them and assaulted the Forest Elf, thus siding with the Dark Elves. To everyone but Asuna's surprise, they managed to defeat the Forest Elf without losing half their hit points. 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. She then invited them to accompany her to the Dark Elf Base, where they could deliver the Jade Key to the Dark Elf Commander and receive a reward for their assistance. As Asuna agreed in a still-stunned Kirito's place, the Dark Elven Royal Guard led them through the misty woods, dispatching any monsters they encountered, and quickly arriving at the camp, 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 the elves possessed before her people, the Dark Elves of Lyusula, were separated from the earth.

After Kirito and Asuna were debriefed and remunerated by the commander, Kizmel thanked them once again, and asked for their names. After Kirito and Asuna clarified the pronunciation of their names, Kizmel offered to share her tent with them, as no spares remained, before leaving 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.
