Theme - Adventure Found Me


A P P E A R A N C E

Elise stands an average height of five feet and three inches, adorning black raven hair and blue, almost piercing, eyes. At first, her curves and manner of walk is both telling and confusing, giving off femininity as well as confidence and purpose. Despite some parts of her personality, she is rather fit and toned, giving way to lean muscles and a noticeable grace to her steps. It's also note-worthy that most of her skin is free from scars regardless of her profession, but if one looks close enough, you can see the faintest of lines all across her body.

As far as clothing goes, when she is branding her sword and expecting trouble, she wears custom tailored adventuring gear. It sports some very light plates, several pockets for survival equipment, and a small chain mail between layers of cloth on her torso. This gives her more protection than leather armor while still offering about the same amount of mobility. Outside of this, she often wears simple shirts, skirts, or short dresses, showing off her more feminine side.

Elise is a peculiar individual. While it isn't hard to peg her down as an introvert and passive type of personality, at the same time she boasts a rather solid confidence and strive for adventure. This can only mean that something is consistently driving her forward, despite the wants and needs to simply curl next to a fire with a good book. Indeed, she is intelligent in her own way that manifests in unusual ways of thinking and planning and yet has the discipline to put herself on the line to accomplish her goals.

Besides this, she is a friendly sort of person, despite some quirks that are hard to truly pinpoint. She has learned to become more social and has no issues approaching others if she needs to. Most would describe her aura as gentle and determined, refusing to be anyone but herself whether others approve or not. Lastly, she is by far a romantic at heart, however her past life has given her a pessimistic view on anything ever happening.

B A C K S T O R Y

Born in Jeorva to a scholarly mother and father who had raped her. Elise's childhood was never what you'd call easy, despite having a roof over her head, clothes on her back, and food on her plate. One could have all the material possessions needed to live and still be starved of love and affection, and this is exactly what the young girl had to endure for most of her life. Her mother only did as much as she needed to keep the girl alive, otherwise hiding away in her study of stars, disgusted by the sight of her own daughter - a constant reminder of what happened. This resulted in giving the girl low confidence and paired with her natural introverted nature, she had the hardest time even making friends when she was little. Instead, she turned inwards and buried herself in tales of legends and myths.

The consistent barrage of attacks to the kingdom as a whole only made it easier for the young girl to daydream and fantasize about doing something - anything to stop people from hurting. In her naive youth, she thought perhaps this would help her mother from hurting and finally earn her love, but it wasn't long before she learned better. Still, she had an unusual talent for having a good heart and still kept a hold of her dreams to help the lands one day.

As she grew into a young teenager, she began to find herself in the library more than she did at home, often studying the elven prophecies that had been recorded. She had become one of the few to believe in something better than this miserable life of death and hate and for that, she was also scorned and cast aside by most others. This was an especially hard time in her life as she fought against the society norm of women and men being together, instead finding herself increasingly attracted to other women. Still, she pressed on towards her goal in spite of these drawbacks.

Eventually she decided it best to learn how to fight, figuring the best way to help everyone was to try and decipher where the elves had gone and find out what she could about the prophecies. It took her much longer than she had hoped for though, most scoffing at a young girl wanting to wield blades, but she eventually ran into a blade master who saw that spark of determination in her eyes - it also helped that the blade master was a woman herself.

For the next several years, Elise spent every moment under her mentorship and every other moment researching clues to the possible whereabouts of the elves, sadly to little avail. Still her mentor taught her six days a week, not demanding one ounce of gold but instead every ounce of her resolve, simply content with the idea that another woman would be able to defend herself and others at the disapproval of men. It took years and the student and teacher even hit a rough patch, in where Elise admitted some amount of feelings for her mentor only to be rejected. None-the-less, Elise had won over one of the most renown swordsman in the lands either by chance or fate and took every advantage she could of the time spent.

During her twenty-second year, her master finally sat her down and explained that there was nothing else to teach. Elise needed to go out into the world and only then could her skill improve, but meeting each obstacle with knowledge and adaptability. Luckily, despite her status as a woman, her skill surpassed most knights and this gave her the opportunity to enroll herself in many contracts; being a mercenary, part of a fighter's guild, and adventurer. She had finally reached the goal she set herself up as a child so many years ago - now the only thing she needed to do was find the elves and seek out answers.

G O A L S  &  I N V E N T O R Y

The first is obvious, in that she wishes to find the elves and their prophecies in hopes that she can find more information. Beyond this, she wants to stop the evil that is happening across the lands, bringing some measure of peace back to the people. Lastly, a lofty goal in her mind, she wants to find love.

@rivaan You don't know the half of it!

Everybody needs to mentally prepare themselves for their characters getting emotionally shat on at least thrice over the course of the RP. I'd say i've hit Ki'ira pretty hard recently, so you never know, I might give her a break from all the crap!

Then again, maybe not ;)@Transience

This would be interesting to see. Elowen definitely has some sore spots, but would it be enough to break her? I'm thinking not... she has a rather unusually high level of resolve. That's not to say you couldn't make her depressed though - that's a definite possibility. :p

ALSO: Hopefully my interwebz will be fixed tomorrow! So I hope to get in a post then and catch up on the rest.
