Name: Elaine Valentine
Age: 17
Race: Human
Physical Description: Elaine is a teenage human female of average height, with a slim yet athletic build. She has large, bright green eyes and long fiery red hair that comes down to her shoulders. She has a smooth complexion that tells tales of her activity under the sun and moon. She has a strong tinge of beauty that oozes confidence.
Personality: Elaine is a confident, assertive person whose awareness of her own abilities is reflected by her demeanor. Her typical state of mind is to be bright and cheerful, and she has a kind and caring heart that compels her to help others. She can exude jealousy and arrogance at times, especially when others appear to be able to do things better than her that she takes confidence in being great at. She has a competitive nature and drive for perfection, as well as some insecurities. This leads her to set high standards for herself, and sometimes standards for others that are too high. This, mixed with her assertiveness, can make her seem bossy.
Elaine is still a teenager, despite her confidence, and therefore is susceptible to most teenage insecurities and growing pains. She gets embarrassed by her parents, pouty when she doesn't get her way, and has a strong desire to fit in.
Elaine has a tendency to be worried about, and be fooled by, exterior appearance. She is often concerned about her image and the way that other people see her, sometimes even going so far as to extend these anxieties to others. Elaine can have a tendency to succumb to peer pressure, owing to the element of her teenage years.
Even with her shortcomings, Elaine enjoys pleasing those around her. She is quite protective of those who are close to her, being quick to come to their defense, and is a reasonably mature and responsible person, taking on many commitments at a time.
Her most stand alone trait, without a doubt, is how difficult she is to shock.
History: Elaine was born to a middle-upper class family. Her parents are both very successful, and masters of their fields. Genius and a detail-oriented memory run in her family. Elaine has exhibited this on dozens of occasions, such learning how to cast a simple wind rune after watching her brother practice wind magic every day(though it took a lot out of her, and since then she has decided that magic is not for her), or when she taught herself acrobatics by watching the circus folk when she was nine, and trained herself to copy their movements. Even with her quick mind, however, she drew the short straw in the gene pool. Both of her parents, her older sister, and her younger brother all are considered super geniuses. Her older sister, at 20 years old, already runs her own successful business and dabbles in magic on the side. Her younger brother is well beyond his years (and many of his teacher's years) in the fields of science. Elaine is not quite as much of a prodigy, but she still loves her family, and they love her.
At a young age, Elaine began helping out her neighborhood and getting involved in several extra-curricular activities. By the time she was 12, people within a mile of her would all go to her if there was something that needed to be done urgently, such as save a cat from a tree, help fight fires, or even help thwart criminals. By 15, she was considered a town hero. Only a year later, nearby towns started learning of her well doings, and started calling her for help if they needed it; and she was always glad to answer, free of charge.
At 17, after being moved forward a year in school, she graduated. Her whole life, everyone told her she should join a guild. She would get to do what she loved (helping people), and she would get to live off of it. Of course, she wanted to graduate first, but the very next week, she had packed all of her things, said goodbye to her family and friends, and began making her way to Iron Tree.
