She has a knack for romance and enjoys letting her mind spin tales so reality feels less dull to her. Albeit having a temper if treated unkindly for too long or treated too harshly, she usually tends to be a very forgiving, loving person. Sadly, she has not been so fortunate in receiving love and affection herself. Her one true longing for passionate and mind-blinding romance has yet to occur - like a lonely princess in a storybook, she seeks adventure, experiences, and that one specific feeling. Some may call her naive - and they would be correct in it - but her romantic notion has kept her warm on many cold nights. Figuretartivly and literally. Éliane is seldom shy and tends to strike a conversation. However, if criticized or met with harsh words, she may retreat into herself and her imagination, to keep out of harm's way. As kind as she tries to be towards others, her heart is easily scarred. Éliane firmly believes that people are inherently good and she attempts to offer help and advice where she can. She doesn't need many materialistic things to be happy and would gladly give her last penny to someone she thought would need it more gravely than she. This, however, is not to say Éliane may never say a bad word or never wander off her moral path. If her insecurities are targeted, she may easily turn to some vile words, and she is not shy of protecting others with all she has if she can help it. In fury, Éliane has the capability of becoming a beast. This happens rather rarely, though. In many ways, Éliane romanticizes the notion of saving someone despite the danger towards her own life. In reality, she has quite a strong sense of survival and if met with deathly danger it takes more than a kind stranger for her to jump into the blade. Always on her feet and always ready for an adventure, Éliane has trouble standing still. She couldn't be described as the most hyper person - as an elf, she values the quiet of nature, has learned to move without noise, and how to blend into trees - but it is undeniable that (if she doesn't actively try to stay still and quiet) she has a lively nature. Whether you want to call it bravery or naivety, she takes on challenges if faced with them. Oftentimes she does so even though she is scared, which might make her even braver or just stupid. In most situations, Éliane fails to feel a sense of doubt or anxiety. This though can easily change with the right amount of criticism or the wrong look upside-down, as deep within she fears she might never be 'good enough' or skilled enough for any particular work, occupation, or other things of the sort. Éliane is usually very reactive, but her daydreaming might interfere with this. Always reading, writing, and spinning tales - Éliane can be said to be quite smart. Always ready to take on another project, learn another skill, she is very adaptive. But she rarely finishes something. Due to her being intelligent, it is even more frustrating to some people how naive and careless the lady can be. Where her fantasy is rich and her adaptation a great advantage, Éliane doesn't quite understand politics or finances. So she might be good for a last-minute, crazy adjustment of the plan which might prove helpful in a crisis - but she is unlikely to pre-plan a long-term financial plan, political scheme, or relationship dynamics. Éliane would describe herself as charismatic and interesting. Other people have described her as impulsive, tormenting and unbearable. She likes stories, jokes, and laughs, so if there is someone trying to amuse people, she usually enjoys it. However, the line is drawn when people or groups of people become the butt of the joke.

Instead, the high-energy child was taken care of by the elven people of her village. She had a room and a bed, but never that one family other children did. As she was such an adventurous and romantic young girl, she managed to get into trouble on the regular. Venturing too far out, bringing in wounded animals, never sitting still, spinning tales, always blabbering at everyone who appeared to have ears - and even that one Elf who didn't have any anymore - she was very well known in town. Everyone who crossed that town during her being there, would know her. Being curious and seeking to try everything at least once, no matter what it may be, Èliane managed to plead everyone into showing her something new, teaching her something new. This led to her acquiring a bunch of skills that can be best described as "half-baked" since she never stayed in one spot long enough to learn the entire ropes of it. The only occasions where this was untrue were two things: her magic and her sword training. Having begged for months on end, when someone talented and experienced in the form of sword fighting finally agreed to let her have a go at it, she was determined to see it through. And so she did; and in consequence learned to hold and guide a sword, her second weapon next to her bow and arrows - the preferred weapons of the elves. Once the young girl had come to age and was finally free to decide her fate on her own, she was fast to leave the grounds she grew up on. With romance and adventure in her heart, she made her way out into the world -- and got knocked back hard. As much as Éliane dreamt of traveling the world, it came harder than she had imagined. However, her stubborn heart adapted, learned, and overcame the challenges life threw at her. And so she began her search for something she knew she had been longing for all her life: true love and the belonging to somewhere, or to someone. So far she traveled to most places, never stayed longer than a few days, and still... she has yet to find that resting calm and safe sensation of belonging she seems to have been missing all her life. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ [color=efd7ad][h2][u]Combat and Magic[/u]:[/h2][/color] [color=efd7ad]Strength:[/color] 6 [color=efd7ad]Speed on Land:[/color] 8 [color=efd7ad]Speed in Air:[/color] 0 [color=efd7ad]Magical Ability:[/color] 8 (scratching at 9) [color=efd7ad]Dexterity:[/color] 9 [color=efd7ad]Weapon Proficiency:[/color] 7 [color=efd7ad]Stealth:[/color] 8 [color=efd7ad][b]Species:[/b][/color] [indent]Elf[/indent] [color=efd7ad][b]Subspecies:[/b][/color] [indent]Light Elf[/indent] [color=efd7ad][b]Current Training Status:[/b][/color] [indent]Through hard training and a knack for magic, Éliane is quite advanced in her abilities and has mastered the common magical traits of light elves. However, since she is still young for an elf, she has yet to bend light for invisibility or to summon coherent, long-lasting illusions. In those departments, she is barely a beginner, if one might say so kindly.[/indent] [/hider]
