[hider=Elra Silverfang]
Name: Elra Silverfang
Sex: Female
Age: 55
Race: Elf (Lythari)
History: 
   Elra was captured by human rangers and brought down by trappers. A magic arrow then a collar was placed preventing her from changing forms. In a small cage she recovered being fed scraps and being shown at fairs. Finally, she was sold to a wizard as a pet who hoped to make her a familiar. In his care, the collar was removed and she changed back to her Elven form. 

   She spent years with her human master, learning of magic. Though she could read some of the Elven texts, he could not. She did not dare impart all of the knowledge he had collected. She paid cruelly to keep those secrets from him. He forced her to learn dark magic and use them at his bidding. 

   Fire destroyed his home and she was free, her Master was dead before the fire started. But the dark magic and forbidden spells he collected went up in flames. 

   In need of money and more for the protection from her Master’s followers, she headed to the castle to help with the quest and truly regain her freedom. He had spread stories that she ate children and would change them into demons. 
 
Other:
   Lythanri are like wolves, they try to avoid fights unless cornered, trapped or to protect people she cares about. Elra has a hatred of slaver, cages, and chains. Elra wears a collar which is braided from different materials and has a hoop to attach a leash. When the command words are used, she freeze form (which is uncomfortable).  

   In wolf form, she can track and see in near dark. She is capable of only a little magic (cantrips) in this form. 

   I am picturing her magic as being capable of illusions, Transmutation, and necromcy (which makes her sick to use).
