Character: Elly Folkor

Elly was my sister's character when we played in my world. She was home bound and so playing over the Internet was perfect for her. She was originally a halfling, but since there were no halflings on my world, she just became a very petite, small human warrior.

Elly remembers nothing about her life before the age of 15, or at least the village who found her washed up on the shore of a nearby river think that is how old she is. They didn't find anything with her, but riverfolk often lost their lives upon the river. An older couple, with many children of their own, took her in and taught her the trade of weaving and animal husbandry. She grew to love the couple, Nana and Papa, and was outraged when mercenaries, under the hand of the Black Wizards, swept through the village and killed nearly everyone because they wouldn't pay the Black Wizards tribute. Elly went to Pathfinder and found a trainer in the blade and learned the fine arts of the arcane so as to revenge the village. By the age of 25 she was ready, but needed to hewn her talents and so headed to Bloodhelm where trouble was rumored to be brewing.

Elly is human, around the age of 25 and stand four and 1/2 feet tall. She is probably around 80 pounds but looks more elven then human. Her face is heart shaped, but rugged, her eyes large in proportion to her head so she seems almost doe like. Her skin is a pale color with a silver blue tint. Her hair is blue black and cut neck length to keep out of the way when she is in battle.

She wears dark blue colored pants with a forest green man's tunic. She wears light, leather armor, supple in appearance and touch. A plain belt keeps her sword at her hip and she carries a small metal shield, dented and covered in scratched but well loved. A blue cloak, worn at the edges, flows behind her and she has lace up leather boots.

Elly is open and calm when she speaks, but she gets to her point fast. Generally she is carefree, but hard working and able to concentrate well in the heat f battle. She makes it known instantly if she does not like someone. She doesn't beat around the bush.

Elly hates Black Wizards and slavers, but loves animals, a good joke or two and is a quick thinker. She is obsessed with trying to find her past but can be led astray by animals or small children.

Elly was a fun to write about. Her whole past slowly comes to light through out the four books and makes life for Tarkil oh so interesting. Elly finds companionship with Krom and Guthlaf, brothers in arms actually, while she feels instantly protective of Duncan and Kenna, or her "Little Dragon". Tarkil she keeps at arms length, but tolerates him because Kenna likes him. She and Krom make up the muscle of the party, but never the stupid barbarian type.
Tomorrow: Weatherworn country manor
