@vancexentanIn that case, she could attempt to tail whoever arrives at the village back to the others, or as @Salvia says, if she knows Basilio (Or any of the other players) and it's one of them that comes, she just makes herself known to them.
Perhaps Lelina's already near the village, observing the attack from a distance and gathering information. As for how she is recognised as a player, it could be that she's acquainted with one of the others, or the powergap between the players and the NW's inhabitants is noticed, and someone puts two and two together.
Fighting Style: Hiding from sight and attacking strategic targets with both ranged and melee attacks, before retreating back to safety. Strengths: She has excellent reflexes, due to real-life skills and is capable of dealing large amounts of damage and applying debuffs to her enemies. With a high movement speed, she can easily engage and disengage opponents. Weaknesses: She is easily defeated in fights where she cannot use her stealth abilities and sneak attacks, due to low-hp and almost no damage mitigation skills.

How a normal human would view me: A carefree and excitable Elven Adventurer, clearly still young in terms of Elven lifespan. She seems friendly enough, if a little xenophobic. Personality: A true mercenary, Lelina is more than happy to fight and kill almost anything and anyone for the right ‘incentives’. She prefers to remain out of the spotlight. Despite Mercenary nature, she tries her best to remain on good terms with almost everyone she meets.
Bio/Lore: Though still in school when Yggdrasil was released, Lelina was a longtime RPG fan, and she, along with her party, signed up for Yggdrasil. Quickly falling into the world, they acted as a small mercenary band, providing solo-players, groups and guilds alike with a specialised group-for-hire and tried to remain as in-character as possible while playing. Quickly finding their niche in PvP as scouts, spies and ambushers, the party sold their blades to the highest bidder for fun and profit.
From her experience, Lelina found that she really, really disliked fighting fair, and constantly reorganised her levels and skills trying to find the ‘sweet-spot’ for her playstyle of precise, hit and run guerrilla tactics supplemented with the most annoying and dangerous poisons she could get her hands on. Falling into a depression after leaving school and entering a dead-end office job, she began withdrawing more and more into the Fantasy MMO. Though she never joined a guild, she and her party members maintained a connection with a number of larger groups, selling information to whichever side was willing to pay.
As her group steadily declined in numbers, Lelina found herself occupying ‘spare’ DPS slots, as opposed to her old playstyle, and after several in level, due to her being a very ‘squishy’ character, left Yggdrasil in frustration. After calming down and convincing her group to return with her, Lelina and her group rejoined Yggdrasil, with several of them resetting their character levels to balance the party bringing the Silent-Wind Consortium, as they dubbed their party, closer to their goal of becoming the most infamous Mercenary group in the world. They entered a golden age, with enough members to qualify as a medium sized guild at some points, though real-life took precedent, and most of the members quit.
Now, at the end of Yggdrasil, Lelina sits in the groups' player-owned hideout, saying her goodbyes to the three players who remained and to the world she had enjoyed for so many years.
