Aelinore is the default Beloved, but can be changed through completing escort quests, gift-giving and decisions the player makes during their playthrough. This is discerned by the fact that Speedrun mode can be completed in under 17 minutes (obviously with minimal interaction with any characters, including Aelinore) and Aelinore will always be the Arisen's Beloved. See the "Speedrun mode" page and video of the record breaking achievement.

Aelinore is the stereotypical "Princess in distress" trope in need of a hero to save her, a common in theme in mythology and legend.
