Appearance (descriptive or photo):
Danwyn as a half-elf has physical characteristics of both races which affect her appearance. Standing at 4 foot 9, she is a slight woman with the perfect build for a gymnast. She has traditional angular features of an elf but they are slightly softer than an individual descending from a 'pure' bloodline. Her ears stand a proud testament to her heritage, the left slightly crooked at the tip. She has a cropped, messy hairstyle, her hair colour red a dark auburn.
Notable characteristics include a ragged scar on her forearm which is the result of a nasty conflict with a bear when she was hunting. She is also never without the small medallion she wears around her neck. It was the first token she ever purchased at a human fair.

Biography
Danwyn was born in a human settlement but she did not stay there long. Her mother was human and her father an elf. Something the humans of this townstead could not stand for. The woodland elves had been at war with the humans for centuries regarding land disputes in the area. The humans always wanted more settlement, more land while the elves merely wished to live in harmony with the forests. This led to a long and bloody history of guerrilla warfare and destruction. A world her mother and fathers love could not survive. When Danwyn was born and the townstead folk realised she was not fully human her mother was executed. Danwyn was to be killed but she was rescued by her fathers clan.
She grew up resented by her peers, ostracised for her differences. She also grew up angry, feeling more should have been done to save her poor mother. Above all, Danwyn longed to be accepted and she was curious about human society. Donning a cloak to disguise her true appearance, she made her way into the human settlement in which she was born. When she arrived a fair was in full force. There was music and dancing and laughter. Something she had never experienced within her own clan. The frivolity of the fair was something she never forgot and she always longed to feel the joy that came with it.
Danwyn ended up leaving her clan and joining the circus. They accepted her. The first time she had ever felt acceptance. The young elf just couldn't stay with her father when she had this life to go to. Her father had been very angry and they left on bad terms. He just didn't want to see her killed by human anger as her mother was. The circus and fair folk became Danwyn's new family and they taught her their ways. She is fiercely loyal to them. Races
When Danwyn travelled alongside human fairs, she became quite proficient with establishing a routine to entertain the masses. In the circus world she is known as "Nimbletoes". She prefers that people do not call her that outside of the fairground. She used her acrobatic abilities for distraction and evasion during combat. She is trying to learn how to combine dagger combat with her gymnastics.
