Jenna Longworthy
Jenna had just gotten back from a morning jog when she noticed a note hanging off of her front door. Odd as she didn't really know anyone that would normally trek out this far; unless...? Her minimally pointed ears peaked as she hurried to the wooden door that had settled into the frame from not being used. Ripping the note off the door, she quickly read through the message. Multiple times, actually. Her excitement after reading the first line stating her acceptance kept her from focusing long enough to get the full message in one try. Finally, she exclaimed out in glee as she ran off to the back of her house to crawl through the small hole in the wall.
The inside of her house was dim and dusty, and out-right run down beyond any sensible living conditions, but it served its purpose during stormy weather and cold nights. She only grabbed a few things; paper, ink, a shawl that she used to cover her ears, and a small bag of fresh apples and clothes. She didn't have much left as she looked around her nearly vacant abode. Bittersweet tears swelled in her eyes as she felt sad as she remembered her time spent here with her mom and pop, but happy that she was moving on with her life. "Dunno how often I'm going to be able come back, so take care of the place Benny~" She teased as she threw her travel gear out the hole and followed it out. Benny was a small green snake that had taken residence near her place and usually was found off in a corner.
She dusted herself off, and looked at her entrance to her house. It wasn't really noticeable unless you knew it was there, but Jenna couldn't help but notice it and feel a bit bad about leaving it when she didn't know how long she'd be away. No one ever came this way, well except for the person who delivered the note, but she couldn't help but worry. She looked at the sun and figured she had plenty of time, so she spent the next hour or so moving the wood pile to cover the hole without adding too much attention to the area. Satisfied, Jenna gathered up her belongings and headed to the town of Timber Moren.
The town was only a bit away north of her cottage, so there was no use of drop gates to take advantage of. The woods were nice and peaceful. Little animals scampered about as she the passed familiar woods she grew up in since she was a baby. Of course, she never been so far north as Timber Moren. Most of her shopping for when she needed things or for fun was done out East in Woondaly as it was usually easier to get a ride at least part of the way to and from.
Sun rising in the sky, she finally made it into the designated town. She upped her pace as she looked around for whatever wagon was supposed to carry her onward. There, swamped with others, was her ride. She grinned excitedly and gave out a huge wave to the group of people talking amongst themselves. "HEY! This is the Wagon to Riffraff, right?" She called out before noticing the gatekeeper Hedra; to whom she waived just as excitedly to and grinned as she passed to include herself with the rest of the new applicants.
Jenna took in each new face as best as she could as she gathered her thoughts about the party. She didn't try to impose herself, but she was glad she wasn't the only one of elven blood, even if she was only half.
