Elafina Vana (Pecoro bodyalt)

History:

From humble beginnings in a small forest home near the mountains, Elafina Vana had always found herself interested in magic. Fauns were always a magical species, but it wasn't a thing that came naturally. Of course, they all had to learn the ropes.For some reason, Elafina had difficulties with that. Despite every effort, the doe could never cast magic. Not even a flicker of light from her fingertip. To say the least, it was frustratin and discouraging-- watching the other fauns mess with the raindrops, sculpt the snow without a single touch, make a leaf dance without any wind...

Elafina isolated herself with books at the young age of nine to learn, instead. Maybe if she read ahead, used the herbs written about, meditated, practiced every waking minute, she would learn. She was positive that out of all the others, she wanted to learn magic the most.It led to Elafina's interactions with the rest of the world to be sparse. Short and briefconversations, simple and polite hellos and goodbyes when necessary. Barely any food, unless necessary. Only herbal teas, when necessary. The necessary, only when necessary. She was a sweet girl, but shied away to her studies rather than speak with the other youths. She spent a year in that self-inflicted isolation.

Of course, there is always an unfortunate event. At the age of ten, during a warm spring day, Elafina was making another attempt to control the element of earth. The dust taunted her, the soil would stay stubborn. Elafina was almost angered, were it not for her docile nature. Instead, she tossed her book to the other side of the room.Around the same time, a rumbling came from the mountains-- a landslide was approaching, fast and without any warning. The landslide, due to the slope and height of the mountains, wiped out nearly the entire village. God knows if any other fauns got away. For the sake of this story, though, Elafina was one of those that escaped.

What a horrible coincidence! Showing disrespect to the element of the earth, so it destroys her home. It must have been her fault, she thought. Elafina fled to the northernmost town in the region, a snowy castletown. There, the young faun maintained a low profile, and eventually had her own little cabin to live in. In the castletown, Elafina continued her studies. At fourteen, she was taken in as an apprentice by an old mage from the local magic shop. Needless to say more, she actually made progress. (She conjured a fireball!)

All went as normal for two more years, until there was a fight. A crook was causing mayhem in the town, and Elafina was in the wrong place at the wrong time. She was taken hostage by the thief, who held her captive for no less than a few weeks under harsh conditions, breaking the girl's body and mind, until Elafina finally passed away. The silent determination of Elafina's soul to keep learning was what had her reborn in Erinn.

Appearance:

in-game, at least clothes. She has the ears and tail of a deer, as in the next image. Also wears glasses.

*Still weeps for Ela.* ;A;

Until further notice, Elafina will be played on Karmelila (or whenever I make the free elf).
