Appearance:

Personality: Elle is considered by most to be very quiet, her words barely above a whisper, and reserved, hardly expressing emotion or interest. She'll take a backseat to conversation and many times her mind wanders to other things. Despite the rarity of her speaking, she is considered quite smart when focused. Her usual movements are quite lethargic and she really does take her time, which means she is always one for planning ahead.
When night falls, she gets a little more energetic and becomes more likely to open up. Part of the reason is due to her powers, the other reason is due to her upbringing as an Aestrith Priestess because they would function in the night instead of the day.
Likes: Quiet, Beautiful Views, Night, Sea
Dislikes: Noise, Towns, Rushing to accomplish something
Past/History: Elle comes from a land of harsh, long winters. The Far North is also known as the lands of Midgard and it is filled with a viking-like humans, who live mostly in the southern parts of Midgard to take full benefit of the Taiga environment. Farther North, you'll find some reclusive dwarf kingdoms who hardly leave their mountain and a few nomadic groups of Giants, whose only permanent settlement is a precursor city shrouded in mystery.
The great city of Jotunheim, nestled in some low lying mountains, is the largest settlement you'll find that far north and it houses many more than just giants. Many surface dwarfs, humans, giants and elves live within the great metal walls of an unknown alloy, called Hyperium. The city even expands to an underground portion where a deep earth generator, a combination of alchemy and magic, powers the city and keeps it surprisingly warm. It uses the Hyperium metal on the walls and on most public buildings. At the center of the city rises a great Hyperium Hall of a Norse design. It is the center of successful or aspiring alchemists or mages as the Deep Earth Generator seems to power all manner of magical spells, constructs, and devices.
Not too far away from Jotenheim, there is a small community of devoted Astronomers and Aestrith Priestess, who believe that life came from the stars, and that the mother of life was Juna. Many of the constellations are considered her first children. From there the constellation of Mira, gave birth to life on this world. Many giants still follow that belief but fewer humans pay respect to that belief, as it, along with Astronomer Magics, are fading into obscurity.
Elle was born in Jotunheim but raised in the Aestirith community because she came from a very devoted family, probably one of the last few. It was common practice at one time to send off a daughter, born in June (Juna in ancient tongue) to pay the family's homage to Juna and the Stars. It was a way for Elle to become educated and well taught in Astronomy Magics. Most activity would be done at night and sleep would be done during the daytime. For most of Elle's life she lived in her studies but at the coming of their age, they are allowed a bit more freedom, as long as they are in service to Juna.
Elle's break and escape came from a famous longship captain asking for a navigator, as nobody knew the stars better than the Aestirith. Elle was drafted the
HringHorn and served onboard for four years before the ship and its crew were attacked by a creature of the deep. Elle lived on but never felt the rush to return to her old community as she became fond of the world outside her convent.
