Elaine regardait attentivement le parchemin qui lui avait été envoyé. Il y avait le sceau royal dessus, ce qui le rendait très urgent. Elle l'avait ouvert et lu le contenu. Il contenait les mots de, ce qu'elle a supposé être, le roi essayant de recruter des gens. Elle avait entendu parler de l'aggravation de la bataille entre les méprisés et les armées de leur pays. Il y avait peu d'activité ici à Northgate. L'attaque occasionnelle les avait gardés sur leurs orteils, mais c'était bien pire aux autres portes. Ces dix dernières années, elle avait aidé les gardes de Northgate, donc elle n'était pas étrangère au méprisé... ou au combat.
Quand elle avait annoncé la nouvelle à sa mère, Wynona avait paniqué à l'origine. C'était une chose de protéger la porte pour qu'elle soit protégée, mais c'était une autre chose d'affronter ces choses en tête. Il avait fallu des heures pour convaincre sa mère qu'elle devait partir. Elle savait que c'était pratiquement une mission suicide, mais il y avait ce sentiment de grognement dans son cœur qui lui avait dit d'y aller. L'idée que d'autres enfants perdaient leurs parents grâce à ces monstres n'allait pas bien avec elle. Wynona avait décidé de la laisser partir, après avoir vu qu'Elaine ne reculerait jamais. Elle lui a dit d'être prudente. Toute la ville l'a envoyée avec des larmes, en espérant qu'elle soit la meilleure chance et qu'elle revienne en toute sécurité. Un retour qu'elle n'aurait jamais pu faire.
Actuellement, elle était en voiture vers Dramon. Elle avait réussi à obtenir un tour d'un marchand de passage comme elle avait prévu de seulement marcher jusqu'à Dramon. Il aurait fallu des jours, mais heureusement, la bénédiction sous la forme d'un marchand était venue. Il a accepté de l'y emmener et elle a été chargée avec sa marchandise. Ça ne la dérangeait pas. Cela faisait des années qu'elle n'était pas allée à Dramon - la dernière fois qu'elle était à l'IAM. Elle se demande combien ça a changé au cours des dix années où elle est partie. "Hé, petit, on est là." Le marchand a appelé à l'arrière. Elaine ouvrit le volet à l'arrière, puis arpenta la région. Ça n'a pas beaucoup changé, sauf pour les nouveaux bâtiments et les autres. Elle sentit l'arrêt de la voiture et le marchand ouvrit bientôt les volets lui-même. "Tu sais où est le château, gamin?"
Elaine lui sourit avec gratitude. "Je peux m'en occuper, monsieur. Merci beaucoup de m'avoir laissé monter." Elle a ensuite sauté de la voiture. Elle allait prendre des pièces pour le payer, mais il s'est vite ébranlé la tête.
"C'est un bon garçon. Bonne chance pour tout ce que tu vas faire. Quelque chose me dit que vous en aurez besoin." Il a ensuite commencé à décharger ses marchandises. Elaine se tourna pour voir que les gens affluaient déjà vers le marchand préparateur. Le marchand la regarda de nouveau et l'exhorta à y aller.
Le demi-sang a hurlé une fois de plus heureusement avant de se rendre au château. Elle était pressée, alors elle a accéléré son rythme. Pas le temps de voir ou de regarder la marchandise, sûrement il y aurait du temps pour ça plus tard. Elle a été arrêtée à la porte d'entrée avant de présenter sa lettre. Ils l'ont laissée entrer après ça. On l'a rapidement rencontrée avec l'un des serviteurs, puis on l'a emmenée à l'endroit où se trouverait la réunion. Elle a vu une pirate qui avait l'air d'une femme qui attendait aussi. Quand ils ont été déplacés pour entrer, le pirate a été le premier à le faire et elle est juste tombée dans l'étape. Une fois qu'ils se sont arrêtés, elle s'est aussi prosternée devant la tête. Cependant, elle est restée un peu derrière la femme se demandant ce qu'elle allait faire avec le roi. La pauvre fille ne savait pas grand-chose de la politique de la mer.
Name: Elaine Ronswald
Gender: Female
Race: Half-human/Half-Woof Elf
Age: 29
Personality: - Will leave blank for now -
Backstory: Let's start with her parents first. Her mother, Wynona Alvrest, was part of the small group of surviving Wood Elves. While travelling, they were attacked by the Scorched. The tribe fought back, but Wynona was separated after being chased by a Scorch. She relentlessly fought them off but became gravely injured after one of the Scorched had raised its claws and raked it against her body. Being part of one of the less durable races, she nearly collapsed. It was over for her, and she knew it. She collapsed near a tree and then started heaving, looking at her assailant - giving it her most hateful glare as one final act of defiance.
Then a band of guards found her and the Scorched and they quickly attacked, making it stumble backward and away from Wynona. They relentlessly attacked it until it died. They then turned their attention to the dying elf. They quickly patched her up and carried her back to the small village called Galrick near Northgate. The healer who was assigned to her was Earnest Ronswald - a male human who showed great promise in the arts of healing magic.
The Ronswald family quickly warmed up to the Wood Elf, and soon, the whole village did. She lived with the Ronswald family. Wynona knew that she couldn't go back to her tribe yet, not with her injury that would act up every now and then. In the meantime, she and Ernest began forging a friendship. She would often help out with training guards in archery and sometimes even helping with the hunts; even with her injury, she was a good hunter. She became a great addition to Galrick village. A lot of people were interested about her ancestry, considering that they believed the Wood Elves had died out so she would often spend times telling stories of her race and the likes.
As months turned to years, Wynona found herself too attached to leave and find her tribe so she decided to stay. It wasn't soon after she made the decision until Ernest asked her for her hand in marriage and she gladly agreed. The village rejoiced at their newest union - one between a human and a wood elf. It wasn't soon until Elaine was born. The girl had pointed ears, her mother's brown hair and her father's grey eyes. Elaine grew up and showed promise with the healing magic her father wielded. At the young age of eight, she was taken to IAM. Her parents didn't want for her to leave but she had to. She was one of the youngest students there. Of course, it was understandable that in her first year, she was scared and didn't know how to control her powers. But as the months and years passed by, she grew up to learn how to use her magic. She, along with the other students, were told that they had the choice whether to head back home or join the military once they spent ten years at school. Elaine chose to go home.
She lost her whole childhood to training for her magic and she doesn't really remember anyone's faces anymore. She doesn't remember the warm embrace of a mother or a father patting her head to tell her good job. So when she came back home and was immediately greeted by both - she was overwhelmed. Needless to say, she was overjoyed. Since her childhood had been taken by the IAM, they tried to do their best to make it up to her. She began training with her mother to hone her archery skills more, finding it very comfortable in her grip and Wynona gladly took over her training.
At the age of 19, only a year after she came back from IAM, her father was dispatched along with a group of guards to investigate suspicious occurrences in the forest. They never came back. Another group was dispatched, along with Elaine, to find the missing group. They came upon the bloody mess where all of them laid, including her father. Emotional scar? Check. They came back to the village, sad and disgusted but this was a normal occurrence for the other guards but Elaine was in shock. She got over it after a year or two. Now, she is part of the guard and her training still continues, both in magic and in archery.
Magical abilities:

 Healing Magic - This was what was given to her when she was born, one she has inherited from her father. She finds it extremely extraneous to heal fatal wounds (internal wounds included). Using healing magic is tiring so she had learned how to dress wounds and the likes.

Combat abilities:

 Bow Mastery - Much like her elven ancestors, she had gotten around using the bow and has shown great mastery over it.
 Marksmanship - Elaine, to go with her mastery over the bow, is quite good at seeing where a moving object would go, making her shots all the more accurate. This also applies when she's throwing things. Of course, it won't always hit and she absolutely hates unpredictable movements.
 Acrobatics - She is nimble on her feet, much like her elven ancestors, and has been training in the forest for many years under the supervision of her mother. She has learned a lot from her.
 Sneak - Of course, since Wood Elves were known to vanish in the trees, she had practiced with this too. She wasn't doing it as expertly as her mother, but she was good enough.

Motive: Revenge - her father died because of these creatures, she doesn't want anyone to go through that.
