Name: Valerie Faeralthyn (Nickname: Val)
Age: 22
Race: Elven
Gender: Female
Height: 1.7 m
Hair: Curly/wavy, dark wheat colour with streaks of brown. Comes down to her waist when loose.
Eyes: Large, green-blue with flecks of grey. Framed by long, dark lashes
Skin: Lightly tanned
Appearance:
Typical of others like her race, Valerie has an other-wordly, ethereal beauty about her. Her physique is strong, with feminine curves that set her apart from male elves. Her ears are the first feature to set her apart from an ordinary human, being elongated and pointed at the tips. The right ear is pierced with a small silver hoop that dangles mid-way up to the tip while the lobes of both also contain small silver hoops. Her hair changes, sometimes being loose and decorated with braids or small silver clasps or else it is pulled back into a loose bun. Her clothing also varies, the female preferring leather pants and a long, loose tunic top while hunting with a cloak around her shoulders. During events at elvish court or social gatherings however she is required to dress for the occasion lest she wish to bring shame and negative attention to her family. Thus, for such occasions she opts for elvish dresses made of fine, flowing material and often decorated with strange jewelry and other accessories.
Skills and Abilities:
With her father being the war and military leader and hence having a seat of importance on the elvish council of nobles, Valerie was trained in weaponry from a young age. Although she can manage with most things, her preference and better skill lies with a longbow, dagger and elvish sword. The elvish sword is designed specifically to be a cross between a broadsword and falchion, not as straight or curved as each but somewhere in the middle. The metal of both her dagger and sword blade is engraved with elvish runes and the hilt embossed with imagery of forest animals and winding vines and roots. All elves are said to be in tune with nature and this is true with Valerie. She has skill in tracking and hunting and depending on the sentience of an animal she may be able to communicate with them. Valerie also has minor skill in terms of healing and treating wounds using plants.
Personality:
Valerie is young relative to the way elves age. Although finished with her training, her inexperience lies in properly maneuvering through the politics and games often afoot in the elvish court. She tires easily of the verbal dualing and social aloofness required to maintain ones reputation among the many other nobles, especially other younger court members her age. Social pressures of marriage and gaining of rank loom on the horizon, adding ever more weight onto Valerie's shoulders and making her wary of not only her peers but her own father. For this reason she has developed something of a free spirit, driving her to seek solitude in the forest around her home within the elvish city. Others might describe her as quiet and observant, choosing to watch and wait for the right opportunity....whether it be to speak or attack.
Generally she has gentle demeanor, easy enough to approach and converse with. She is also kind and can display intense focus and determination when it is required of her. However, she is flawed in her ability to trust easily owing to her being raised in elvish court. She can also be quick to anger and at times brash and impulsive.
