Aithlin Mac Eochaidh, hailing from Velunor, Dominion of Malin, grew up to have an oddly feminine sense of beauty and grace, taking after his mother’s good looks. However he was born into an intense “tough love” family environment, trained strictly from an inexplicably young age, due to his father’s admiration for the Div’cruan. Many times, as punishment Aithlin found himself locked up in the family cellar for hours, during these times he’d find comfort in watching spiders and so he’s grown up with a fondness for them, yet soon he was locked up in wardrobes instead when the old punishment was deemed ineffective. His training regiment included hunting, mainly archery, sword fighting, and different forms of martial arts yet he excelled in Kyusho Jitsu, the art of targeting pressure points. His harsh upbringing in turn has warped his mind and way of thinking, to feel as though he’ll never be good enough and to continuously try harder to improve on himself and skills, and has also given him a fear of being alone-- And although family is everything within his culture he has chosen to move out of the family home in order to better himself to their standards, having vowed to only return home once he deems himself “ready”. And so he has been wandering around, adventuring and really just prolonging heading back home for as long as possible “training away from home” since he was sixteen, surviving by sleeping in trees and living off the land-- Well, that and whatever he can get his hands on, or schmooze his way to achieving. He comes across as an egotistical yet friendly person, Aithlin is pretty and he knows that much -- However, although this Dark Elf will often boast about his good looks and “strong fighting skills”, this is simply a front to hide his crippling self doubt. Although after befriending the guy, he will be one of the most loyal companions and always have his friend’s back, assuming the same will be done for him.

Saoirse was the illegitimate child born by her noble High Elf father and his Wood Elf house maiden. Upon the infant Saoirse's arrival, she was a beautiful baby and admired through-out the manor, yet her mother was ordered to immediately leave and make sure that Saoirse was left behind at a far away lake; in hopes that the wildlife or in the best case scenario, Wood Elves, would look after her. The Wood Elves there did so and would even often tell the child stories, not all completely pleasant, about her cruel father; whom ‘cared not for her nor her poor mother’, and so thus she grew up to resent nobles and High Elves. Saoirse found herself more or less alone in these woods, the Wood Elves fed her out of pity but they weren’t really family; until the age of five years old, this was when she was found by a priestess on a stroll by the lake. This priestess took her in out of more pity and thus brought her up in the religion of worshiping the goddess Cerridwen. At eighteen, Saoirse was just about to be ordained as priestess when she suddenly felt a change of heart, this wasn't her true calling; for years she had been longing to be back amidst the nature and so she ran away from the temples. She has been adventuring ever since, has vowed to protect all children she comes across and hopes to one day find her mother.
