Vita Clotilde was born into the Hexen Clan. She grew up acting as an older sister to Emma Millstein and befriended Celine and her familiar Grianos. During her time as a Hexen clan witch, she became known as the Witch of the Abyss (深淵の魔女). Apprenticed to Roselia, she was lauded as of exceptional talent. Vita also received tutelage from Isola Millstein, Emma's mother. At one point in time, Isola would ask Vita what she knew of the witches' counterparts, the gnomes, to which Vita at the time knew very little. It was Isola who convinced Vita to leave the village and explore the world.
In S.1197 at the age of 17, Vita vanished from the Hexen Clan and presumably joined Ouroboros soon after where she took on the position of Second Anguis under the alias of the Azure Abyss (蒼の深淵). After becoming an Anguis, Vita claimed her newly gained knowledge of just how vast the world was shocked her and she began to study ever more fervently. After she absconded from the village, Roselia refused to call her her apprentice and selected a new apprentice, Emma.
Vita was later assigned to the Phantasmal Blaze Plan where she met a young Crow Armbrust. As a member of the Hexen Clan, Vita was responsible to guide the Awakener for Ordine, the Azure Knight. Sensing his potential to become an Awakener, she decided to help Crow with his revenge against Giliath Osborne by helping him retrieve the Divine Knight Ordine. After this, Vita joined the Erebonian Opera House in Heimdallr and became a famous Diva while biding her time for the plan's commencement.
Later on, Vita also took up a post as the radio presenter for Abend Time under the alias Misty (ミスティ) to additionally keep tabs on Rean Schwarzer and Ashen Knight Valimar. After the assassination of Giliath Osborne, Vita reveals her true identity to the entirety of Thors Military Academy announcing the start of the Civil War before disappearing with the rest of the Noble Alliance.
In S.1204, Vita sided with the Noble Alliance for the duration of the war. When Rean's location became apparent, Vita led a attack on Ymir and took Princess Alfin Reise Arnor and Elise Schwarzer hostage. She then challenged Rean to get stronger before leaving with them. She then had many confrontations with Rean and Class VII, motivating them to get stronger for the completion of the Phantasmal Blaze Plan.
Once it became apparent that the Noble Alliance was losing the war, Vita began the ritual and summoned the Infernal Castle. She then invited Class VII to join the ritual in order to get Crow and Rean to fight in their Divine Knights. After the fighting was over, Vita became shocked to see the awakening of Testa-Rossa and helped Crow to defeat it. However, she became saddened by Crow's death and further angered by the revelation of Giliath Osborne's survival and his declaration of his plan to take-over the Phantasmal Blaze Plan. Her familiar, a bird named Grianos, was also killed by Rufus Albarea during this period. Faced with a overwhelming disadvantage, Vita retreated.
Entrusting Crow's remains to Rean and company, Clotilde disappeared from the scene and cut off all contact with the Society under any circumstance. By the Civil War's end, she wanders silently through a self-investigation to discover Osborne's true identity and the Black Workshop's current state while ducking pursuit from the Imperial Intelligence Agency and Railway Military Police. At an unspecified point, Vita returned her staff to the elder, taking up usage of a fan created from Grianos' tail feathers.
In S.1205, Vita regrouped with Ouroboros to decide what to do about Giliath and his take-over. When it was proposed that they help Giliath and the Gnomes in their Great Twilight Plan, Vita was the only one who voted "No." However, Vita ended up being betrayed when the other Anguis voted in favor of supporting the Great Twilight Plan since it went along with their original plans and they could acquire the Sept-Terrion of Steel as well. Vita though was disgusted by this (as Gnomes and Witches were enemies) and decided to conduct an investigation of her own into the true nature of The Black Workshop and Giliath Osborne, while avoiding the Railway Military Police and the Erebonian Army.
She would make appearances in Crossbell and Heimdallr before finally revealing herself to the party in Heimdallr Cathedral. Upon Rose and Thomas Lysander's briefing, she teleported in to reveal what she knew about the society's plans going forward and what she knew. When the Gral of Erebos was summoned, it was accompanied by large numbers of cryptids, magic knights and loas manifesting all over the capital. Vita borrowed the elder's staff once again and used her magic to create a barrier around St. Astraia Girls' School where she would stay and protect several important figures. Upon the advent of the Great Twilight, Vita teleports out to join the Weissland Army, leaving the defence of the others to Patrick T. Hyarms.
It is revealed that at some point before her reappearance, Musse Egret had approached Vita with her plans for opposing the chancellor and her ambitions going forward. Vita was impressed at the young girl's foresight and predictive abilities, joining the Weissland Army. Vita had taught Musse a little magic, including charm spells as well as providing her with another one of Grianos' tail feathers which would allow her to teleport out. Vita's assistance would be invaluable to the Weissland Army, helping her to cloak their flagship, the Pantagruel and provide remote magical assistance. She would also enlist the services of fellow Ouroboros member, Bleublanc, the Phantom Thief.
Vita made several appearances in the coming conflicts leading up to Operation Jormungandr, including coming to to the aid of the new Class VII when surrounded by Thors Military Academy and Cedric Reise Arnor at the Osgiliath Basin, in addition to the clash onboard the Pantagruel when the Glorious attacked the meeting of nations preparing operation: Mille Mirage. Arriving from the newly unveiled Courageous II, Vita used her powerful arts to subdue Gilbert Stein.
Another one of Vita's objectives was the reproduction of her lost familar Grianos. Celine claims Vita was searching for all of his lost power to achieve this, and although the main body disappeared back at the Infernal Castle, she collected the remaining energy to make her fan. Vita does succeed in recreating a 'ghost form' of her familiar.
When Gilbert attacked Eryn, Vita appeared to defend her former home. She was shocked to see an appearance from Campanella and remarked that an oath sworn in the name of the Grandmaster was inviolable when he claimed they would not attack the village again.
Vita lent her aid to the activation of the Spectral Moon Mirror in the Luna Sanctuary, acting as the first trial needed to create the necessary conflict conditions. She did so out of a request from Roselia, her former mentor, as well as a desire to learn the secrets of the past. She would make a surprise appearance in the special Arc en Ciel performance held to distract the troops stationed in Crosbell, teleporting in with Bleublanc to perform much to everyone's surprise. Upon the conclusion of the Third Rivalry, Vita appeared to pay her respects to the fallen Seventh Anguis Arianrhod.
She would later appear to help create a barrier alongside fellow witches Rose and Emma around Mishelam Wonderland where the members of the Radiant Wings were spending their 'final night'. Vita spent the night chaperoning her adoptive grandmother, opting out of the drinking contest to 'look after the elderly' much to Rose's chagrin.
On the day of Operation Jormungandr, Vita joined on the five teams assaulting the five fake Salt Pales, alongside Aurelia Le Guin, Victor S. Arseid, and Toval Randonneur, the latter of which commented on her as being a 'monster' on a similar level of Ein Selnate. Upon successful termination of the pale's guardian, a recoloured version of the Aion Type-α II, she participated in the final battle against Ishmelga-Loge at the Tuatha De Danann.
Following the end of the second stage, Mariabell Crois, Campanella, and the First Anguis discuss their recent losses. Mariabell claims Vita is a 'wise and prudent' person and counts on her cooperation in the next plan.
Vita joins Emma, Celine, and Roselia on an excursion to the newly discovered Ivory Shrine upon the discovery of Isola's journal. Overcoming the trials, they reach the depths and receive a message from a remnant of Isola's power. Vita feels Isola's comments are giving her a hard time, but nevertheless she takes the advice to heart from her former mentor. After concluding their business with the shrine, Vita returns to Ouroboros while making one last comment about Rose's diet.
Vita is brought in by Rose to discuss Elysium and the appearance of the Retributive Tower. She expresses her interest is due to the involvement of the Sixth Anguis F. Novartis. In the operation to attack the Retributive Tower, Vita lends her magical power to Rose as they enchant the blades of Erebonia's finest warriors with enough strength to repel the Tower's Keraunos blast. Vita also brought along some enhanced jaegers, Gilbert Stein, and the Stahlritter from the Society, as well as Zephyr who came at her invitation. These additional forces and airships help in the fight to control the airspace around the Tower. After helping teleport the party into the tower, Vita confronts the professor who claims his investment in the events is purely research driven. Vita would also assist teleport in the Soldats and help retrieve the party later in the battle.
