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.

Dark grey trousers are on her legs and she wears white boots on her feet.

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. Family Mother: Unknown. Relationship with her: Elvira’s mother is either alive or dead. However, Elvira does not remember what she looks like and such. Father: Mr Terryal. (Deceased) Relationship with him: Elvi’s father died during a bandit attack on a trip to Polaris with his wife. Elvi does not remember her father clearly but does remember his eyes being similar to hers. Siblings: None. Relationship with them: N/A Spouse: N/A Relationship with him/her: N/A Children: N/A Relationship with them: N/A Other important family members: N/A 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 Symbol: Elvira’s symbol, or Naromis symbol, is what she uses to show if something belongs to her. It is a tribal fire with white and grey on the inside, while red on the outside. This symbol is mostly seen on anything written or made by Elvi. Vice:Wrath - Seeing that she is easy to anger at times, Wrath would be Elvi’s vice. Virtue: Kindness. Theme song: Battle theme: History Artwork Before Rajin's attack After Rajin's attack
