{Earth Elemental:Colonel Of Ebony Wings:63:Female:Straight}
Height:
5’4
Weight:
170
Appearance/Attire:
Standing in at barley 5’4 Vyne knows she is on the lower end of the height totem pole for her kind but she doesn’t much care, with her long flaming red locks of hair and her delicate pixie like face structure she is often times underestimated. Typically wearing thick breeches and a tunic top that she weaves herself with an oak wood corset and a sturdy pair of over the knee boots, its comfortable and it allows her more movement then a dress or any other of the more ‘Lady’ like clothing options. When she is either feeling like it or simply has to look like a lady she will wear a gown a dark green leaves that she coaxes into growing on her, long sleeved with a neckline that plunges more the modestly acceptable. At about mid-thigh a slit that goes up the front center ends and through it you can see hundreds of delicate white blossoms that make up her petticoats.
Weapons:
Due to her naturally born powers Vyne carries very few weapons on her but she does carry a few; four throwing knives, two daggers, a whip, and a set of poison tipped needles.
Skills/Abilities:
Forced by circumstance, Vyne learned early on that power cant always save you and in such not only being passably skilled in the weapons she carries she has an adequate amount of self-defense and hand to hand combat classes as to always keep her safe.
Being an Earth Elemental Vyne has control and can convince the earth along with the plants to help her, she is much more attuned with plants meaning that it is easier and faster to pull on her power and to feed it to the plants nearby for help then trying to use the earth beneath her feet and trying to communicate with a passing animal.
Outside of primal form, which she has only ever changed into once out of petrifying fear, she doesn’t really have special attacks of skills with her power for she is just simply powerful. Once as a presentation to prove her power she pulled an whole apple orchard out of infancy and into its producing years then ran through a couple producing cycles. Of course she passed out in the end and she was in a coma like state for a week as her power slowly returned to her.
Primal for her is rather unique as far as she can tell, her skin becomes like that of a diamond; shiny and shimmery by infinitely hard, out of her back grows hardened wood and her arms and legs appear to be branches and her vibrant red hair becomes infused with tangled vines from which bright red flowers bloom.
Personality:
Vyne is evasive to say the lease, she is generally caring and kind but she has a hard time talking about herself and prefers it if people don’t try and dig into her past. Though kind and caring along with being loyal to those who have proven their worth to her she is snarky and often times to blunt for people to truly like her. There is a cunning and intelligent air about her that makes people wonder what exactly is going on in her head but she doesn’t allow many to know her personal thoughts. Due to her observant nature, which is what made her a brilliant thief and assassin when the world was in better shape and wished to hire others to do the dirty work, she is quite skilled in strategy. For all of her good personality traits she does have some foul qualities, like her short temper that can often times get her into trouble for she will unintentionally lash out and harm someone, to the fact that she likes to day dream and will get lost in her own little world. Then of course in the dizziness that happens whenever she isn’t working. Because she is so good at her job many overlook these little quirks but just as many argue that because of them she shouldn’t be in a leadership position.
Strengths/Weakness:
Vyne is fast, strong, and though appearing delicate is sturdy which are all strengths, she is also loyal and respectful which in turn cause people to be loyal and respectful to her which gives her a lot of allies to lean on when she needs help.
Though loyalty is a good thing it is also a weakness, she will go to the end of the earth to save someone she cares about and though taller than most elves she is still rather short compared to many her age in other races which can leave her vulnerable. When she was really young she watched her family die and in such she does have brief moments where certain sounds send her back to that night, and due to her day dreamer personality she can be caught off guard which is never a good thing.
Likes/Dislikes
Though the reason unknown, Vyne likes things to be clean meaning she will spend thirty minutes before bed each night no matter where she is to polish her weapons, bathe herself, dust out her clothes and, if in an inn or her home, wipe the room down. She is also constantly humming due to her great joy in music which makes her infinitely happy. Dark colors, sweets, and fresh foods are also things she feels she cant live without though rationally speaking she could of course, but she really would prefer not too.
Vyne hates being overly dirty, being silent unless working, and cant stand to eat anything greasy. Though more then that, open doors that were closed, loud noises, pain, and anything that smells bad will also put her into a bad mood. Honestly, Vyne’s list of things she hates is much longer and it would take days to get everything written down and organized.
Fears:
Though coming off as brave and seemingly being afraid of nothing, Vyne is afraid of the fog and what it does. She is terrified that it will coming sweeping in before she and the others can figure out how to destroy it and that it will kill the children she has under her care. The only thing Vyne truly cares about are those children and all of her hope for the world and all of her fears are focused on them and it isn’t in human reason to predict what would happen to Vyne, if she was still alive to find out, if something happened to them.
History:
Vyne cant remember much of her past, the only clear memory was when she was about six or seven and she saw her father in full primal form which for him was a stack of human shaped boulder get ripped apart and to see her mother, who was heavy with what would have been Vynes younger sibling, get burned alive. It was several months later when Gypsy’s found her and she spent years traveling with them for the loved and protected her as if she was part of their family.
Though she has no idea if her memories are true she has brief glimpses other earth elementals bowing to her parents and wishing them long life. Due to her being unsure of her memories she has never told anyone of the belief that she might be a princess, though one time when she was about thirteen when passing through a heavily tangled forest one of the Gypsy’s she was living with told her that this was where they found her, that it had at one time been a very nice and peaceful place but now you could feel evil hiding in it which means that the royal elementals that had called it home must have perished.
Years later Vyne set out on her own, traveling from city to the next she finally settled in Caesion, she fought her way through the Thief Guild to become a respected member and then when the Fog became and enemy she proved herself useful in the fight against it.
Family:
After her biological family was killed she was found by a wondering Gypsy tribe, the leader Madame Karn and her son Linayl raised her and welcomed her with open arms, Though trustworthy people not all of those in the tribe were and this is where Vyne learned skills like to pick locks, walk silently and who to use body langue and facial expressions to convince people that she wasn’t doing anything wrong.
When she left the tribe, which had become her family, she was lonely and often could be found in large crowds to simply feel as if she belonged. It was about the time refugees were entering Caesion when she found a little Water Elemental and twin little elf girls he was protecting. These three soon became her family and she would do anything for them.
Hometown:
Born in the forest in a small nomadic Earth Elemental tribe known as the Ravlins, and in such the controlled and ruled the Ravlin forest, she was raised happily until the slaughter of her people, due to her young age she doesn’t really remember the tribe or their name.
Then found and raised by traveling gypsy’s, because of this Vyne doesn’t have a hometown of a real last name, Gip was the last name most of the Gypsy’s carried so it was also given to her. Caesion is the first town she stayed in over a three month period willingly and now even if she had wanted to leave there isn’t anywhere safe to go.
