Roberta is a famous Acara. She runs The Scrollery in Brightvale. She is also featured as one of two protagonists in The Darkest Faerie, alongside Tormund Ellis. She is the niece of King Hagan of Brightvale and King Skarl of Meridell.
History[]
Little is known about Roberta's early life except that she was born to the royal families of Brightvale and Meridell and at some point began working as a diplomat for the Kingdom of Brightvale. From a young age however, Roberta's true passion had been sorcery. Her family disapproved of her learning magic, so she studied basic spells in secret under the tutelage of Seradar, Royal Sorcerer of the Court of Brightvale,
Working in her capacity as a diplomat, Roberta and Seradar arrived in Faerieland to speak with Queen Fyora about the dark clouds gathered over Meridell. While waiting for their audience, Roberta was asked by an old Aisha (who we later learn is actually Jerdana) to get a Harris out of a tree, and is was given a locket in thanks, which she was told to never remove. She then proceeded to continue her magic lessons with Seradar before being summoned for her audience with the Queen.
The next morning she woke to find Faerieland under siege by dark creatures, and Seradar possessed. Following the sound of screams, she found the same Aisha from the day before being held prisoner by The Darkest Faerie. She sounded the bells in the clocktower to distract the evil faerie so as to rescue the Aisha, and then escaped on her Uni, Solarin, but was knocked from him mid-flight, falling to the coast of Brightvale far below.
Tormund arrived at a beach just as Roberta falls to the same location, and the two then joined forces, both spared from the Darkest Faerie's possession by their lockets, to free the settlements of Bogshot, Market Town, Cogham Village, and Meri-Acres. The duo then retrieved Illusen's charm from the Werelupe King and used it to free the earth faerie from the Darkest Faerie's control. They were in turn given an orb, allowing them to pass through the barrier of dark magic surrounding Meridell and penetrate its dungeons and vaults buried far below. After retrieving Fyora's Rod from a skeletal Draik under Meridell, they confronted the Dark Faerie Sisters, removed their invulnerability, and defeated them, returning Meridell to normal. They then go to give the rod to Fyora, but it is a trap set up by the Darkest Faerie. Fyora is able to break free and tell them about a portal that will take them to Altador before being placed in a bottle. Tormund and Roberta pass through the portal to Altador.
Tor and Roberta awaken in Altador. They meet King Altador and he tells them that they must awaken the four heroes within their shrines. Once this is accomplished, Tor and Roberta head deep in the Hall of Heroes secret passageway to awaken Jerdana and the other heros. Kellend the Thief, Fauna the Gatherer, Gordos the Collector, Torakor the Gladiator. After they did, they freed Jerdana. Once they are awakened, Tor and Roberta are able to return to Faerieland to take on the Darkest Faerie in a final battle as she sends Faerieland plummeting down towards Meridell with Fyora's Rod. They defeat her and re-imprison her into the stone, freeing Fyora in the process and ending the threat of The Darkest Faerie hopefully for good.
