Bio: Coming from a long line of proud elves, Róma's people long ago dwelt along in the trees along the rivers of modern-day Italy. As time passed, they came to dwell in settlements, still along their rivers, and worked to keep themselves secret from nearby humans and other creatures. By nature, these elves are secretive and prefer to live by hunting and gathering, though as technology advances and communities grow, they are given little choice but to adjust their way of life.

Róma was born approximately 800 years ago, to an elvish man and a half-elvish woman. She learned early on that her heritage meant she'd have a choice to make later in life, though no matter her decision, she was bound to live a very full life. When presented with the choice after reaching maturity, Róma chose her elvish heritage, preferring their way of life and being among her people. However, as times have progressed, she's seen the need to leave the safety of her community and get out in the world. She has left her home to get a formal education, and finds herself enjoying the experience more than she thought she would.

Though her parents (and other relatives, for that matter) don't entirely approve of Róma's decision to leave for America, she felt it was necessary. She knows that if she had stayed in Italy, her family always would have been nearby, too close, and she may turn back before she's truly gained anything. Despite the drastic changes (and some that are not so drastic) to her lifestyle, she's determined to see her choice through to the end. Ultimately, she hopes to finally put her soul mate mark to rest.

Occupation: Veterinary Technician (studying zoology at a local college)

Feelings about meeting their soul mate: Though eager to know who is on the other side of her mark, Róma fears that her soul mate will not have a life span like her own, and that they will either pass before she has met them, or will pass too soon after they have met.
Soul mate: N/A
