Character Name: Dori
Species: Fae/Fairy
Species description: Forest Fae stand taller than what most imagine. They often get confused for pixie, which stand no taller than a few inches. Growing between 4' - 5'6" feet, any taller is very rare and usually due to outer-species breeding. They usually specialize in nature, their magic reflecting this. They tend to have an abundance of curiosity though they, for the most part prefer to stay with their own kind. They find their breed to be very noble.

Background:
Dori doesn't remember too much of her childhood, only that she spent a good majority of her time wandering the forest getting comfortable amongst the trees. She learned to read the forest, respect it's secrets and protect it if ever she needed. She has never met another quite like herself, although she has realized just how bothersome pixies can be. They assured her that she was nothing short of a freak of nature, something that the world laughs at for being so much larger. For some time she let this get to her, thinking that there was something wrong with her and wishing that she were smaller like the pixies. 
Over the years travelers would wander the woods and often times she would follow sticking to the trees. So many different creatures came through and usually meant no harm to the forest, only using it as a means for sustenance. It wasn't until a young elf came traveling through that she found her curiosity peaked unlike it ever had before. He looked so similar to her in build. All he lacked were the wings and he was quite a bit taller than her, still she found herself fascinated and for the first time wondered if perhaps she was really the freak of nature that the pixies had claimed. She followed the elf for quite some time, curious about his ways and his mannerisms until at last she introduced herself. Really, she lost her balance and fell out of the tree that she had been observing him from. He had been very kind to her, marveling at her wings. He agreed to teach her what he could about elves and in exchange she would teach him about nature.
Years continued to pass and the elf came to visit Dori every day, bringing her trinkets that she might find interesting or else sharing stories and they would explore bits of the forest that hadn't been seen just yet. After a time the two fell in love and vowed eternal lasting with each other. This wasn't to last, something dark and foreboding entered the forest, the trees warning the fairy and she rushed to save her home. The entity was massive and too much for Dori to handle, she would have fallen if it hadn't been for her love who rushed in to save her and sacrificed himself. The dark entity vanished and she was left with her anguish so dark were her days that the clouds darkened to match and rain poured.
After his death Dori took his sword with a vow to vanquish the dark entity. She has spent her life since then practicing and searching, but with no prevail. She's made few friends over the time, some of which attempt to help in her missions, some who ask her for help in their own missions. It was on one of these missions that she was captured and taken to where she's being held now, she doesn't do well with captivity and seems anxious about her sword being taken away.
