Description

Weight: 190ilbs

Height: 5’4ft

Body build: Elvira is a slightly thin and small woman, her body figure is mostly smooth and a little curvy with a slightly flat chest (although she is growing). Her arms and legs are thin, although she should not be underestimated due to being a little strong despite her appearance.

Shape of face: Elvira’s face is thin but smooth, she has a roundish chin and high cheekbones. Her nose and ears are average sized while her eyebrows are a little thin. Her lips are smooth and average sized, capable of becoming a soft and gentle smile.

Diseases/illnesses: Although unseen, Elvira is infertile, meaning she cannot have any children. However, this was not caused because she may have an elven family member, this was caused when she received a mass amount of electricity through her body during her past. The electricity had damaged her reproductive system, leaving her incapable of bearing children. When Elvira discovered this, she was devastated.

Skin tone and accessories (tattoos, scars, etc) : White. Half of her face and both her hands are noticeably scarred from electricity, although now faintly scarred due to Ramza healing them to a better condition. She also has a huge scar that covers the whole of her back (skinned off by Lorien) which causes one or two small pains to her. The scar on the left side of her cheek (earned during bandit attack on her parents.) is no longer noticeable.

Eye colour: A vivid green that seems to be filled with calmness and peace.

Hair: Elvira’s hair is a fair blond colour, her hair is straight, also silky and soft to touch. Her hair tends to reach her waist, her fringe rests on the right side of her face. Currently, her hair is tied into a braided ponytail.

Outfits:

• Normal outfit:  A grey sleeveless shirt, covered by a white coat with gold lining and a hood. Dark grey trousers are on her legs and she wears white boots on her feet. She was one belt going around her waist, then two other belts that are crossing over her waist, keeping two small bags by her sides. A sheath is behind her, and a shield is mostly on her left arm.

• Armour: A blood red coat that covers a white tunic and black trousers. Above the coat, she wears a ferrum chestplate, shoulderplates, and vambraces. Around her waist is one belt going around her waist, while two other belts crossover each other. A tasset is over her waist while she wears armoured boots.

Jewellery or accessories:

• Goggles – A pair of brass and thick leathered Alchemist goggles given to Elvi by Ser Dorian, a fatherly figure and friend of hers, before he died. It is Elvi's most prized possession. However, these goggles were eventually destroyed by Rajin Aetos when he tortured Elvi. Beth Rilann made Elvi a new pair but she only seems to wear them during Alchemy.   

• Thick leather gloves – A pair of leather gloves that Elvi carries around with her, tends to wear them when gathering dangerous Alchemy symbols (ingredients.)

• Amethyst necklace – A necklace that was within the bundle that held Elvi when she was only a baby, the necklace is the only thing that Elvi has that of her parents.

• Diamond earrings - A pair of diamond earrings given to Elvi by Beth Rilann.

• Emerald bracelet - A single aurum bracelet with three emeralds. Given to her by Arradin Riff.

• Red scarf - A neatly made red scarf that smells of fresh herbs and roses - Elvi’s favourite smell. According to Elvi, this was a gift from Gris as her birthday was approaching at that time. This was eventually taken by Rajin Aetos but it seems as though Elvi may have got it back.

Inventory:

• Shoulderbag - A bag that Elvira carries, it contains many pieces equipment from knives to jars. She also holds some potions and herbs in there, as well as a book and some food.

• Vials on belt - Elvira has some vials filled with potions on her waist, making them easy for her to reach and pull out.

 

Personality

Elvira is a calm and more mature woman. In most situations, she seems able to keep calm and can tolerate most behaviours. Aside from being calm, Elvira is kind and gentle, willing to lend a hand to anyone who is in need of aid or if they require her assistance. She is extremely loyal to her friends, willing to come to their aid and stand by their side although she will break this loyalty if she truly needs to. However, she shows a lot of loyalty and dedication to her duty as a cleric, understanding her duty comes first before all. She is patient, allowing people time and she can wait. Aside from this, Elvira is confident and more mature, she knows the right from wrong, when to act and how to act. She does not allow herself to be controlled by others and will fight if she has to.

However, Elvira isn't the best at making decisions, she is too afraid that a single decision she makes can cause a large negative effect to not just her, but to others. In other terms, Elvira hates changes to others. Additionally, Elvira is still a little sensitive about her past, almost unwilling to talk about it and would stiffen a little at the mention of it. Lastly, Elvira may seem calmer now but her anger still lingers, but not at a large rate. This anger is small but if pushed too far, Elvira may eventually bring this anger back up.

 

Life Style

Alignment*: Neutral good.

Deity*: Tahariae

Religion: Doesn’t really follow a religion but does follow the cleric traditions.

Alliance/Nation/Home: Aeroch’Nor. Destati Isle (Base of the Curatrix)

Job/Class: Alchemist and Cleric.

Title(s):

• 'Bartender of the Drunken Monk' - Has this title when she worked at the Drunken Monk Tavern during Athera.

• 'Mentor Alchemist' - Earned this title when she became an official Alchemist and could teach others.

• 'Chef' - A self-given title due to Elvi's good cooking skills.

• 'Tea Master' - A self given title that Elvi once proclaimed she had earned due to making some surprisingly good tea for a customer.

• 'The Flirter' - Turns out Elvi is learning one or two flirting lessons from Guarger.

• ‘Curatrix Cleric’ - A title that shows she is a Cleric of the Curatrix, Ramza’s order.

 

Profession(s): Alchemist and cleric.

Strength(s):

• Cooking - Elvi is shown to be a surprisingly good cook, being able to make the finest bread and soup around. She is also good at creating her own new recipes, such as a combination of Desert Bush Berries and strawberries in a drink and a pancake with a mixed berry topping. Ser Dorian had taught Elvi how to cook, stating to her that -

"Alchemy and cooking are more alike than we think: We must prepare the symbols and ingredients and make sure we find the right ingredients to use to make the potion or dish a successful piece of work. Cooking is a preparation to make an Alchemist ready to prepare ingredients when the time comes.' - Ser Dorian.

• Alchemy - Ever since being trained by Daniel Nodal, Elvi has shown she is quite a skilled Alchemist. She tends to make mistakes rarely and she is skilled when it comes to preparing symbols (thanks to Ser Dorian teaching her how to cook). When questioned about what the four elements could represent, Elvi gave a few well chosen replies. How she remembers the representations is by:

"Imagine each element as a person: Fire would be someone who is destructive and full of anger, yet warmth and love. Water would be someone who is balanced and focuses on healing, and one who is needed most in Alchemy (Bases). Earth would be someone strong, powerful and enduring, yet someone who enjoys life and agriculture. Lastly, Air would be someone who is fast and excellent at travelling, also full of intelligence and knowledge.' - Elvi.

• Fighting - A skill Elvi earned from a mix of surviving on her own, being taught by Ser Dorian, and a range of other people.. Elvi has shown to be skilled at using a sword and shield, often using the two in a good combination. She also uses her small size and speed to gain the upper-hand through quick thrusts and stabs then dodging. Elvi takes great pride in her fighting, despite that she never uses it against another person unless truly necessary.

• Drawing - Elvi doesn't tend to draw often but she is quite good at doing sketches. She tends to sketch out anything she needs to remember the appearance of, such as Alchemy symbols or someone who looks fairly suspicious. She doesn't tend to show her drawings to other people.

• Assisting others - Although not one to lead, Elvi is someone who can assist in helping. She will immediately get something someone needs and can remain somewhat calm if the situation is dire. She does her very best not to mess up.

Flaw(s):

• Decision making - Elvi is shown to not be very good at decision making, being unable to tell the wrong from right. Her poor decision making even led her close to gaining a dark magic but with the help of Daniel and Guarger, she realised her mistake and immediately stopped herself. However, Elvi is gradually becoming better at making decisions and making the right choices.

• Using two-handed swords - Although excellent with sing a rapier, Elvi is not good when it comes to using two-handed swords. The swords are mostly too heavy or Elvi isn't use to wielding a sword with both hands. According to Elvi, she prefers to use one-handed swords and use her other hand to keep her stance balanced or to block any incoming blows. She especially prefers if the sword is light and thin, allowing her to be fast and swift.

• Swimming - Elvi is fairly good at swimming in shallow water but when it comes to deep water, it's a different story. Elvi begins to panic badly when he feet leave the ground, leaving it up to someone to help her or for herself to quickly get back to shallow water. However, Elvi seems to be slowly overcoming this fear, especially when it came to the Athin lesson with Daniel.

• Not losing her temper - Elvi has a habit of losing her temper once or twice with her allies. This could leave her in a mood for a little bit or make her lose her anger completely, meaning she may accidentally harm someone. There have been times where Elvi has killed someone due to losing her anger. Elvi is, however, attempting to gain control over her anger and become much calmer through meditating.

• A little uneducated - Due to her past  Elvi is quite uneducated. However, Ser Dorian had taught Elvi most things she needs to know, such as how to survive, cook, use items and so on. However, Elvi isn't that educated on the history of the wars and events of before, and she isn't good with other languages. Thankfully, she can read and write.

Hobbies: Cooking, Alchemy, travelling, reading, relaxing, meditating, being with friends and allies, drawing and sleeping.

Plays a musical instrument? Elvi knows how to play the flute, sometimes playing it when bored.

How she would spend a rainy day: Mostly in the tavern, serving customers. If not, most likely reading, sleeping or meditating, or creating potions.

Spending habits: Elvi tends to be good when it comes to saving minas. She tends to think carefully about what she wants to buy and considers whenever or not something is worth the price it is being sold at.

Smokes: Elvi doesn’t smoke, she explains that it can damage her body and she doesn’t enjoy the smell some pipes give off.

Drinks: Elvi, although not a drinker herself, has had one or two glasses of alcohol before. However, she once had a drinking contest where she lasted eight mugs before eventually falling asleep. Needless to say, she didn’t enjoy vomiting all the alcohol up repeatedly. Elvi stated that she prefers wine more than ale and mead.

Other drugs: None.

What does she do too much of: Being the worried type of person, getting angry, stressing out, dwelling in the past.

What does she do too little of: Being calm, relaxed and looking more towards the future.

Extremely skilled at: Cooking and fighting.

Extremely unskilled at: Not losing her temper.

 

Magic

Current Status: Training.

Arch-type: Cleric Priest Healing (Light is silver with a red tint to it)

Sub-Type: N/A

Rank: Tier 4.

Weakness(es): Low Mana pool (8% less).

Strength(s): Elvira can easily get use to using a magic, and can get quite creative with her magic if she wishes to do so.

Current Spell(s): None so far.

Note: Elvira used to use fire magic until she was connected. She understands how fire magic works, knows how to teach it, and also how connecting to the void can affect someone.

 

Weaponry

Fighting Style: Elvira's fighting style revolves the use of the Flowing Sun martial art, taught to her by Meta and Neci. At the start of the fight, Elvira doesn’t immediately use this art, instead, she simply slices, stabs, and blocks to test her opponent, see how strong they are and determine if she should use the art on them. If she does use the art, she mostly uses two of the four stances - Wild Inferno: Fire Stance, and Dance of the Gale: Wind Stance. She uses the wind stance in order to swiftly approach her opponent, before unleashing a hail of vicious attacks with the fire stance, then quickly falling back into the wind stance to widen the distance between her and her opponent. She doesn’t use the other two stances (Terra's Embrace: Earth Stance and Calming Tide: Water Stance) often but will fall into using them if she needs to block an incoming attack, or if she needs to become calm and more reliant on natural instinct.

Additionally, Elvira uses Alchemy in combat. She keeps a range of speed, strength and any other potion that may enable her to gain the upperhand in a fight. However, Elvira uses these potions as a pure last resort, as drinking them will extremely exhaust her and may even break a bone or a muscle due to her body not fully being adapted to survive the speed, weight, etc. She tends to try and keep her distance at first when throwing potions or applying them to other weapons.

Pros in combat: Speed as she is small and quite light on her feet, dodging since she is quite flexible and finds it easier to try and dodge than block, wearing a very small amount of armour in order to allow more movement and becoming light.

Cons in combat: Strength as Elvira isn’t fully muscle and not strong enough to do some powerful strikes, blocking as she tends to struggle keeping grasp of her sword and also blocking powerful blows (hence why she bears the shield), wearing a very small amount of armour will make her more vulnerable to attacks and easier to take down.

Trained Weapon: Sabre and knife.

Favored Weapon:

• Rapier: An aurum rapier that was crafted and enhanced for Elvira during her time recovering from a poltergeist attack. Paranoid that she would be attacked again, she became nervous about heading back outside. In order to held her, Guarger forged the aurum rapier for her, before Abluson enhanced the rapier so that fire engulfs the blade when Elvira commands it to. Since then, Elvira has recovered from the attack and now keeps the rapier, in case she needs to face against a ghost or any creature weak against aurum. The rapier’s name is Rugna (meaning ‘flames’). Marked on the blade are the words: ‘Nightmares don’t last.’ How Elvira activates the enchantment is by saying ‘Curvia amis rugna (‘Awaken my flames’). Elvira was taught how to wield a rapier previously by Ser Dorian Naromis. Image of rapier 

• Sabre: The main weapon that Elvi uses. The sabre she has is a double edged sabre made from a metal that the Doomforge clan are good at using. The sabre’s name is Pura'Lux (means ‘Pure light’). Image of sabre

• Aurum knife: A knife Elvi carries mostly to handle ghosts and dark beings

Archery: Elvi is somewhat good at archery, although not as accurate as some people.

Pet(s): Ventus the Mountain Kestrel. Aithne the Desert Kestrel. Four Kestrel hatchlings.

Relationship with pet(s): Elvira and Ventus have a very close bond as Ventus knew Elvira from the moment he was born. His coven was attacked by a group of hawks, leaving his egg left alone but close to hatching. Thankfully, Elvira, Ser Dorian and Gris were nearby and discovered the egg, which Elvi looked after. Since then, the two have been inseparable. Elvira is protective over Ventus, and vise-versa, and she is mostly seen stroking the bird or having him on her shoulder. However, recently, Ventus has passed away from defending his nest from a group of hawks, Elvira now looks after his mate, Aithne, and their four hatchlings

 

Others

Role: Elvira is more of the teacher and guardian at times, she ensures others are taught things they may to know, and ensures that they are safe. However, there may be times where she’ll have to take charge of a situation

Vice:Wrath - Seeing that she is easy to anger at times, Wrath would be Elvi’s vice.

Virtue: Kindness.

History 

 

Birth

Elvi was born when her parents were travelling to Polaris, presumably to trade some items. However, the cart was stopped by a group of bandits. In an attempt to save the newborn, Elvi’s mother hid her within a box. The bandits managed to kill her parents and the cart driver and one of the bandits kicked the box Elvi was in, causing a small splinter on her cheek. Thankfully, Elvi remained silent and managed to survive the attack. She was eventually found when a pair of guards stumbled upon the wreckage and was taken to a small orphanage located  at Polaris’ borders.

 

Childhood (5-11)

The orphanage Elvi was raised in was not an orphanage. People were manipulated into believing it was an orphanage but in reality, it was a slave farm. Elvi was raised and at the age of five, she was forced to work alongside many other children. There, she was subjected to harsh beatings and abuse. Elvi knew that the way she and the others were being treated wasn’t right and hoped that it would stop. It didn’t.

 

Teenager (11-18)

Elvi remained at the ‘orphanage’, receiving many beatings and having to work in the fields for many years. As time grew, she became somewhat violent and cold, yet a little protective over the other children in the ‘orphanage’. One of these children, a seven year old girl named Frecks. became Elvi’s closest friend. The two looked after each other, watching each others back and making sure that they met their deadlines.

However, when Elvi turned fifteen, Frecks grew weak and tired from starvation and would lead to her getting badly beaten or killed if she was unable to work. In an attempt to help her friend, Elvi stuck into the kitchens and stole three thin slices of bread. She was close to succeeding but she was caught by a friend of one of the workers, an electromancer by the name of Rajin. From there, she was punished through being electrocuted for twenty minutes, leaving her badly burnt, afraid of electricity (lightning, thunder, and of Rajin), and infertile. From there, Elvi was kept locked up till her wounds were healed (although they were now badly formed scars). She was also given her own cell, as the workers saw her as a bad influence to the other children. A few months later, Freckles eventually passed away in Elvi’s arms. From that day on, Elvi’s anger grew and she swore to get revenge on the workers for what they’ve done.

Since then, Elvi made every attempt to harm the workers, lashing out at them whenever they harm another slave or if they just so happen to cross her. This resulted in Elvi becoming the most hated of slaves and the workers were planning on killing her soon, although they kept her alive as they thought she would be good to be used as a fighter. At the age of eighteen, Elvi finally had enough. She managed to sneak into the kitchen and manages to make a kitchen knife, which she manages to hide easily and not get caught with it. Additionally, Elvi made sure that her cell’s door remained open through jamming the edge with a small rock. Once night fell, Elvi snuck out and went into each of the worker’s rooms (there were roughly seven workers in the building and in charge, Rajin and two other friends have their own homes). From there, she proceeded to kill the men, slitting their necks and watching them die in front of her. Once all seven workers are dead, Elvi took the keys and proceeded to unlock all the cells that contained the other children. (In total, there were 20 children working in the orphanage, so 4 per cell, although Elvi was given her own room.) As soon as she does so, her anger fades and Elvi realises what she has done, then flees out of fear.

Throughout the rest of the year, Elvi resorted to robbing and stealing in order to survive. She never killed anyone but only maimed and injured people in order to escape if she is caught stealing. She remained close to Polaris, although she never dared to go near the orphanage. During the final seed, The Deep Cold, Elvi was badly wounded after an attempt to gain some food and fell into a river. She was swept down till she ended up on a small bank close to the camp of the Alchemist Ser Dorian Naromis and Gris Corvel. She was found by the two and nursed back to health, before deciding to stay with them.

 

Travelling with Gris and Ser Dorian (18-24)

Throughout the next five years, Elvi changed. She grew calmer and more polite, also educated as well due to Ser Dorian and Gris’ teachings. She learnt how to read and write and also how to cook as well. She grew more civilised and grew to enjoy Ser Dorian and Gris’ company. At the age of nineteen, Ser Dorian created a potion that would remove Elvi’s scar burns. The potion succeeded and Elvi felt better, although the fear of lightning still remains. Additionally, she met Ventus, her grey kestrel, around this time when his nest was attacked by a group of hawks. Since then, Ventus has stayed with Elvi. Since then, she travelled with the two and became a better person.

However, at the age of 24, Ser Dorian was killed by an assassin. His death affected Elvi badly, leaving her upset and heartbroken. However, she soon decides to become an Alchemist, ready to keep her promise to become a great Alchemist and help people. From there, she and Gris parted ways and she made her way towards the Cloud temple.

A few months later, Elvi met Daniel Nodal and begun her Alchemy training. She additionally becomes a bartender at the Drunken Monk tavern.

 

Athera

For the next twelve years, Elvira faced many events. Some good, some bad.

The first event would be that Elvira almost learned Contract magic, but eventually managed to pull out once she realised the consequences of her actions. Since then, Elvira dislikes Contract Magic, even mentioning it brings a shiver up her spine.

There have been a couple of times that Elvira has fell in love but most of them had problems. Her first lover, Ulfrik, went well until the two realised their relationship was going nowhere, so they decided to end it.

The next came Guarger, which went longer until Guarger ‘accidentally’ cheated on Elvira which led to the two splitting up. Next came Arradon who Elvira got along with until she realised that Arradon could potentially lead her into danger.

Now, the next person Elvira dated (surprisingly) was Dorian Hunter and their relationship failed a month later because of what he was doing in St Amyas.  She mostly refers to it as: The mistake.

Then she dated Ray (Daniel’s son, surprise surprise!) but during this time, Elvira was attacked by the remaining staff member of the orphanage, Rajin Aetos. Rajin easily ambushed Elvira, using her fear against her before brutally torturing her. Soon, she was electrocuted (just to the point where she could survive) and was forced onto. Elvira managed to get to the Cloud Temple where she was treated and bedridden. The only reminders of the incident are the scars on Elvira's face and hands.

Eventually, Elvira (along with Daniel Nodal, Dorin Starbreaker, Beth Rilann, Ramza, and Guarger) confronted Rajin and Elvira broke into a murderous rage. Daniel managed to stop Elvira before sending her out of the cave with Ramza, while he and the others tortured and killed Rajin. Since then, she had finally moved on from the past and is no longer affected by it. Her personality now changed into the personality she would have had if she wasn’t raised in the orphanage, although some sides of her old self remain.

However, Elvira has changed a lot and no longer bears any feelings towards Ray, so she made sure that she gently told him what’s happened. She knew it was better to be perfectly honest than to stay with him and lied that she loved him.

Additionally, Elvira learnt Fire Evocation, having been taught by Dorin the dwarf. The two get along well and Dorin once explained that Elvira was one of his best students. Elvi graduated from his teaching after the two had a mage duel, she lost but both had fun throughout the duel.

Soon, she went on a two year journey with Ramza and Iris who were suffering from Ramza leaving his wife. She ensured the two were fine and explored Athera and the wilderness beyond to find any ingredients and new things. However, their journey was cut short when the end of Athera came. Elvira was devastated to be leaving behind the land she was born and had lived in, especially as Ser Dorian and Gris' graves were on Athera and she was sad she would not be able to see them again. Eventually, Elvira soon calmed down and decided to dedicate her help on the Salvian ship, then the elven ship.

Vailor (32- ???)

Upon arriving in Vailor, Elvira decided to live with Ramza on his uncle’s winery, located on the Wood Elf island. During this time, Elvira finally married Ramza and swore to never leave him, much like all his other wives did. She had also became a cleric and can work alongside Ramza when he is working as a cleric, mostly to help him after healing someone or doing the healing herself. Elvira has long since grown from how she was back in Athera, becoming more skilled in fighting and helping the Curatrix (Ramza’s order) the best she can. She is also seeking to expand her knowledge on Alchemy in order to try and find new solutions to healing, ensuring that any injuries that cannot be healed mundanely can be healed.

Somewhere, far off, Lorien releases a small chuckle.

"She still doesn't know. She will never know."

 

Elvira releases a sneeze as she works in her lab, glancing around curiously. A student of hers looks to Elvira.

"Are you okay, miss Elvira?"

Elvira simply nods. "I'm fine. Just a random sneeze... I think someone is talking about me..."

 

((One day she will know, hopefully xD))
