appearance

Elvie appearance shifts between the ages of ten and twenty. Her skin is exceptionally pale skin, a paleness which is accentuated by her mass of auburn hair. She has eyes of the lightest blue and her complexion is usually smooth and flawless, although it is sometimes dotted with golden freckles when she portrays herself as a younger age.

When Elvie is at her eldest she reaches an impressive height of almost six foot. Her figure is slender and, although lacking somewhat in curvateousness, it is still fully womanly. At this age her choice of clothing consists of outfits of floaty white or brown linen. However she rarely uses her eldest form, usually preferring a younger appearance of mid-teens (as this is the age where her personality normally sits).

At her youngest Elvie stands at around four feet eight inches. Her cheeks are dusted with the freckles of youth and her choice of outfits, although maintaining the same white and brown palette, are frillier in nature and generally just more girlish. Her hair is also wilder and frizzier than it is during her adult state. Elvie often reverts to her younger self when she's feeling particularly playful or impetuous.

Elvie enjoys adorning her outfits with self-assembled accessories made of whatever she can find, whether it be bottle caps or ring pulls or lengths of cable. The number of accessories she wears are more numerous the younger she is. Her older self prefers to keep things simple.

personality

Unlike angels and the other more obvious beings of light, Elvie is quite neutral in nature. If she had to choose a side she would of course pick light, after all it was what she was made of, but she would prefer not to pick anything at all.

After having been banished from her fae court, Elvie has become quite lonely. Although she had vowed never to join another fae court again she still misses the company. She is a bit starved of companionship now, especially after many centuries of travelling across the world alone. Because of this she will happily make friends with anyone, be it light being, dark being or even human.

She is however quite selfish in her mannerisms and way of thinking. Elvie has now gotten used to the idea of not having to follow orders. She has therefore become quite stubborn, which is why her appearance is usually that of a stubborn teenager. She dislikes not getting her way, and may even throw tantrums if she is especially in a bad mood.

Elvie, like most fairies, is also very mischievous. She enjoys playing around with humans, though not to such an extent that one would consider her actions as truly cruel. She has a playfulness about her that is also common to her species. She is also particularly flirtatious, something that can be quite unnerving to men when she is in her younger forms.

Her hobbies include frolicking, crafts work and pretending to be a lost and vulnerable human girl. Elvie dislikes being ignored, her old fae court and a variety of other things perhaps too numerous to list.

family & history

Elvie was born from light, in fact she was made entirely of light in her earlier years so very long ago so she was, quite literally, a light being. But after centuries of living alongside mankind her form slowly shifted to something more human, and her personality followed suit as well.

Elvie is quite young by fairy standards. She first came into being after a particularly heavy bout of cosmic radiation swept past Earth at around 100 BC. She was still but a mere speck of light during the birth and death of His Holiness's son, only really coming into solidity some time in the fourth or fifth century.

Once she had gained a reasonable sense of being and consciousness, Elvie found herself in France just after the fall of the Merovingians (although at that time the land was called Francia). After half century of wandering throughout the land, lost and confused with her sudden awareness of the world she was met by Oberon, King of the Fairies, and asked to join his fae court. Not having anything better to do Elvie agreed.

It was in Oberon's fae court where she spent the next millennia of her life. Initially she had enjoyed it immensely, there were always other fae to talk to and there were always humans nearby to watch (they lived in a forest not too far from Paris). However, some time during the French Renaissance, Elvie managed to anger Titania, the temperamental fairy queen.

It had only been a very small mistake. Instead of giving Titania her night-time tonic, Elvie had accidentally passed the queen another concoction. In a matter of moments Titania was sprouting fur all over her once perfect skin. Elvie was banished from the fae court instantaneously, never to return again.

She vowed from then on never to join another fae court. Elvie had heard tales of many fae who travelled and weaved their magic alone and she had decided to do the same. Her first course of action was the leave France. She began to travel East, making her way across the Middle East and then up through Mongolia and Russia. Then, after spending a century in Yakutsk, she travelled even further East, making her way from the edge of Russia over to Alaska. Elvie had discovered had discovered the Americas, albeit quite a bit later than Mr Columbus had. It was in America were she still remains, although she had travelled a fair bit from the East Coast right to the pinnacle of the West Coast--New York City.

Elvie now lives on the roofs of various buildings, although she often comes down to street level to play-pretend being human.
