Physical Description
Elvyne is a small, petite woman with delicate but deadly hands, being a keen archer.
She has pale skin and dark red hair (‘You’re your mother’s daughter’ her father would say when she was a child). She has her father’s eyes though - a mixture of gold and brown often called ‘hazel’. Her hair is long, like many of her culture’s, and is usually tied in a series of complicated knots onto of her head or over one shoulder.
Her windmark starts on her right side, beginning just level to her breasts. It then journeys down her milky skin, wrapping itself around the top her right thigh where it ends in an intricate flower-like knot.
Character Concept
Despite being born in the colder time of year, Elvyne despises the cold and instead favours sunning herself whilst hunting in the Sea of Grass. She’s headstrong and determined - to the extent that it is her greatest downfall. Like most of her culture, she values her family greatly, and when something or someone hurts them, those eyes flash and an arrow is notched onto her bow before you know it.
Hunting has been a passion of Evlyne’s since she remembers, when she used to wait for her father and siblings to return with their catches of the day. She adores her families’ and cultures nomadic lifestyle, disliking that boredom and familiarity that happens when she stay in one place for too long. Her mother used to call her ‘Freerunner’, for her habit of running off, then returning full of imaginary monsters that she’d slain and treasures she’d found.
Elvyne guards her emotions carefully, even more so since her beloved husband died. Her ultimate fear - that she would never let anyone know - is that she’ll die alone.
Character History
She was born Elvyne Greenwell, member of the Emerald clan. Her father, Jrager Greenwell and her mother, Fraier (née Moonsong, Opal clan) had one other child, a son, named Jaquik (14 years old).
Elvyne met her husband at the age of 16. Their respective fathers were old friends, having spent their earlier years hunting and trading together. Elvyne Greenwell and Shaakri Clearstone swiftly became friends, and their bond quickly changed to a young, innocent love. After spending the Fall and Winter of 509 apart, they were reunited in the Spring of the following year - and Shaakri proposed marriage. The ceremony happened a year later, and was perfectly simple for two people who did not particularly enjoy large gatherings, or being the centre of attention. The newlyweds decided to live with Elvyne's parents - at least until they had a pavilion of their own.
After less than one year of marriage, on the 3rd day of Spring of the year 512, Shaakri rode out to hunt. He never returned, but the day after, Jrager Greenwell bought his daughter the only surviving part of Shaakri; his favourite dagger.
Since then, Elvyne's family has moved back to Endrykas, where she currently resides.
Majesty
The two met when Elvyne was 18, on the eve of her wedding to Shaakri. Full of nerves, she had wandered around their camp all through the night, whispering little promises to herself and the grasses that surrounded her. It took her all of three moments to realize that someone else was listening to her vocalized nerves, a 15 hh mare that would later be called Majesty. The two have been inseparable since, and the moment when Shaakri died - the cause of which Elvyne is still not sure of - Majesty had thrown her head back and squealed as if she was haunted by a phantom.
