Elvira Naromis (Elvirana Terryal) was a hal-elf holy mage who served as a Cleric then an Ascended in her life. She was known by a few titles and held a range of roles in her - such as leading a clerical order, holding leading roles in a few battles, and more. To some, she was respected and seen as a hero. To others, she was feared and seen as a foe. However, she was an individual of noble heart and mind, aiming to ensure that many lives are saved. She served as both a Clerical leader within Axios and one of the Master Sages for the Ascended Order within Arcas

History

Birth and Childhood

Elvirana Terryal was born to Zandri Terryal, a Heartlander, and Sarya Naromis, a High Elf, within Athera. She was to live with her father, with her half elf ears clipped, and the two set off towards Polaris, where her father lived. However, the cart was stopped by a group of slavers and her father was killed. Elvira was taken by the slavers to their slavehouse, located on the outskirts of Polaris. This new orphanage Elvira was raised in was not an orphanage. It was there she was subjected to harsh beatings and abuse, not bearing a normal childhood like others and learning that the world was dark, forced to work alongside many other children. One event lead to Elvira being brutally electrocuted by a voidal mage, causing her immense fear of lightning and storms, and infertility as the strike damaged the necessary organs. Elvira remained there for over eighteen years until she had enough and killed the slavers. In panic, she fled from the scene but ended up falling into a river, being swept away. She ended up on a small bank close to the camp of the Alchemist Ser Dorian Naromis and Gris Corvel. She was found by the two and nursed back to health, before deciding to stay with them.

Elvira remained with the two until she was twenty four years old - learning how to read and write, about the world around her. She grew more civilised and grew to enjoy Ser Dorian and Gris’ company. At the age of nineteen, Ser Dorian created a potion that would remove Elvira’s scar burns. Since then, she travelled with the two and became a better person - she grew to see the lighter side of life, and that the world was not just about misery. However, Elvira’s past still remained with her in the form of nightmares and hallucinations, reminding the girl of the past and the trauma she faced. Sir Dorian was later killed by a mercenary sent by one of the surviving slavers, who feared that Elvira would expose the slavers. His death affected Elvira badly, leaving her upset and heartbroken, for she had lost the closest thing to a father than what she could ever had. Yet, she grew determined to carry out Ser Dorian’s final wishes and aimed to become an Alchemist, ready to keep her promise to become a great Alchemist and help people. Yet also, she sought to seek out her path, to find out what is to be her fate and grow to become independent. A few weeks after Ser Dorian’s death, Elvira and Gris parted ways, with the hunter heading home to Vanderfell and she made her way towards the Cloud Temple of Athera.

Athera Life

Elvira’s journey to the Cloud Temple was one of safety, where she successfully managed to reach the temple with no issues. Along the way, she received news of the Drunken Monk Tavern which was an ideal place for Alchemists. Thus she went there and she met Daniel Nodal, a very unique yet mysterious man. The two got along and Elvira began her Alchemy training. She additionally becomes a bartender at the Drunken Monk tavern. Throughout the rest of her time on Athera, Elvira worked as a bartender at the Drunken Monk, being taught Alchemy by Daniel Nodal, who became a father figure to her through working together and venturing on a handful of adventures. She learnt and mastered the art of Alchemy and Fire Evocation. Nearly learnt Contract Magic but managed to stop herself, although resulting in her entire back being skinned off. The woman also eventually confronted Rajin, the void evocationist who traumatized her past, although she was wounded in the process and left with new burns.

Elvira, at first, was shy and cautious of those around her, struggling to cope with her new life but with the help of her friends, she soon grew more confident and true to herself. All of the lessons she learnt grew to help her become a better person and understand the world more. Of course, Elvira had her fair share of lovers, most of whom turned negative and sour, while others cheated, but fell in love with Ramza Mantisuku, who owned the Crimson Lotus Tavern and then helped Elvira become part of the clerics. She witnessed the exodus of Athera, where she left behind her life as a bartender.

Cleric in Training

Elvira started her journey as a Cleric at the start of Vailor and work alongside Ramza when he is working as a cleric, mostly to help him after healing someone or doing the healing herself. Although Ramza was against Elvira being a cleric, she still became one and has since found herself enjoying the clerical life, even when she was attacked the the darkness. During this time, Elvira became a student under Meta and Neci Solaray, learning the Flowing Sun Martial Arts, which proved to be tough yet Elvira grew to understand the ideology and movements the arts taught. This became an important asset of Elvira’s views on the world and fighting.

As the years went on, Elvira became a formidable and strong cleric, devoting herself to the Clerical Order and Tahariae. She began forming leadership qualities, leading and guiding the clerics whenever Ramza was not around. Her name became well known amongst allies, strangers, and enemies as she assisted many and fought many battles. Yet during this period, Daniel Nodal turned himself into a homunculus and passed on in life. Elvira soon came to face this homunculus and lost her left eye after a fight with it, which pained Elvira to know Daniel had turned himself into such. Elvira was also witness to the birth of the Tahariaen Prophet, Ashanaak, and the revelation of the Utterings of Tahariae. The most noticeable achievements Elvira held is that she was the cleric who reached out to the Paladins and sought to repair the gap between the two orders after the events of Athera and the past realms tore the group apart. At first, it was slow but upon interacting and befriending some of the Paladins, she began to refill the gap. It also helped that Ramza’s relatives were Paladins and assisted her in such matter.

The Dark Congress

Elvira eventually became one of the four Archons, four clerics in charge of the Curatrix clerical order within Vailor - alongside Andriel, Ashanaak and Ramza. She became known as the Archon of the Arm, or the Arm of Tahariae, as she only wore armour over her right arm. She held great concern about her fellow clerics, students or connected, and she would help them whenever they need her. However, soon the Dark Congress - an event that shattered the Clerical Order, bringing them down to their knees. When Ramza was captured, the order needed a leader swiftly before things went haywire, and it was Elvira who took up such role. She kept the clerics strong as they planned out how to get Ramza back, yet soon Elvira was captured by Dralazar and held captive. It was here that Elvira learnt about the ways of Xion and of the darkness, understanding the darkness more but with a saddened realisation of the eternal war between darkness and light. For a whole year, she was held captive without any sunlight, nearly being driven insane from being trapped in the small room. Dralazar sought to gain Ulthrandl, a sacred blade held in the possession of one of the clerics, and offered to return Elvira to them should they give over the sword. The other clerics remained vigilant and refused to hand over the blade, resulting in a gathering between the light and darkness. Elvira was handed back to the clerics, as was Ramza, but the clerics suffered heavily because of this event.

The clerics lost one of their own through having to disconnect them due to Dralazar’s terms of ‘peace’, such cleric being Ravondir. The order lost their base within the Caliphate, leaving them baseless until the Paladins provided them sanctuary within a tower they had within their land. However, many clerics within the order vanished away, reasons known and unknown. Eventually Ramza stepped down as leader, leaving the order leaderless and beginning to break down. Elvira, putting her duty as a cleric first, divorced Ramza and took charge as leader, not wanting the order to fall.

The End of Vailor

For the remaining years in Vailor, Elvira fought greatly to keep the order going, although she herself did not have much experience being a leader. At first, she struggled and was unsure if she could truly manage the role. However, she has proven to herself that she can manage well. A talk with an old cleric named Galan made her realise the Curatrix was beyond the point of saving and Elvira should focus on rebuilding a new order, she herself being the leader. When the Orcish plague struck, Elvira and the remaining clerics, whom remained with her during the end of the Dark Congress, rushed to aid the druids and the descendants with the plague. They assisted in healing those plagued and assisting in keeping the grove under lockdown to prevent any infectected people spreading the plague. They also assisted in healing those outside the grove infected with the plague. Elvira attempted to find and create a cure for the plague through alchemical means, but this soon came to a halt.

It was said that Tahariae contacted Elvira during this grim time, sending her away for a year or two to achieve the one thing she needed most: Inner peace. The true reasoning was unknown but it was said Tahariae did such to bring forth the leader the clerics needed during this darkest time and saw Elvira as a worthy candidate. Under the Aengul’s guidance, Elvira meditated and trained, coming to terms with her past and finally achieving a true clear state of mind, where she no longer felt afraid of those she faced, and her emotions did not harm her. Once she finally achieved peace, Elvira swore an oath to Tahariae to ensure that the order would rise and be what it should have been, and in return - the Aengul of Purity blessed the Arm of Tahariae, giving the relic a powerful blessing to help the cleric in future times. Regardless, she returned, changed, and with confidence. She found the land overruned with the plague and knew there was not much time left. Swiftly, the cleric managed to grab all the important clerical relics and artifacts within the base before she fled Vailor with others, upon a small boat she found.

The First Holy League and Disappearance

When they arrived in Axios, Elvira immediately settled on gathering the clerics together. When only a handful of the most devoted and dedicated clerics arrived, it was within the tavern located in Laureh’lin that Elvira and the gathered clerics spoke of what they will do. In the end, it was decided that they will reform the Clerical Order but under a new name. Thus the Adherent Order was formed, with Elvira as its founder and first leader. Yet the order lacked no home, thus Elvira reached out to the Paladins of Xan and the Ascended of Aeriel, whom were forming a keep together. They were welcomed with opened arms to Trinity Keep and given an entire tower for their order. Elvira helped keep balance between the orders, ensuring that they did not clash, as well as assisted in protecting Laureh’lin through managing clerical wards there. In time, she became close to Heial, the Master Sage of the Ascended, and the two sat down with the Highlord of the Paladins, Izier, to discuss about an official alliance between the Clerics, Paladins, and Ascended. Thus the First Holy League was formed, the three of them managing the League and ensuring the orders worked together in pure harmony.

Elvira helped run the Holy League, often serving as a messenger and negotiator at times. She also helped assist in efforts against Azdromoth when he was active, as well as assisting in the defeat of Jak’ol, a great drake born within the ancient tree within the Mother Grove. She, however, also raised tension between the Adherents and the Sutican clerics, despising the idea of a cleric leading a nation, escalating to where Elvira was attempting to disconnect the cleric in question but was thankfully stopped. Regardless, Elvira soon realised her error and she ceased in causing more tension. Elvira was also responsible for keeping watch over the city of Veris and eradicating the darkness within the city, making new friends and enemies within the city. It was also during this time period that Elvira gained Silvyr, her Ker’wolf who would soon grow to become her closes companion.

Halfway through Axios, Elvira was called to assist clerics within a more rural part of Axios with a cult of necromancers that was terrorizing a small village. Elvira went to assist the clerics with such and they managed to dispose of the group effectively. However, soon she and the clerics were ambushed by other members of the group, with all of the clerics killed but Elvira who was taken captive. For five years, Elvira was tortured and held against her will, questioned by the group so that they could learn everything about the Holy League. Yet her calm mind helped her to endure such and she refused to answer them. During her absence, tension rose between the Paladins and the Ascended, and soon the two orders fell into conflict. The First Holy League was abolished and the orders went their separate ways. Elvira soon managed to escape from her captives, ensuring all of them were slaughtered before riding back to Trinity Keep on the back of her Ker’wolf. Yet what she found was a near empty keep and the news that the First Holy League had fallen during her absence. Elvira reunited with her order and helped establish Lucerna Temple, a temple hidden away within Axios’ Savannah and served as the home of the Adherents until the fall of Axios. A sanctuary for the clerics to help them finally rise up after the Dark Congress. Elvira taught a handful of students, a noticeable student being Seyer Reesye, and travelled between the other orders to keep contact with them. She also stood in as clerical representative for the Second Holy League that was formed.

The Gazadriael Scenario

Upon visiting the Ascended at their tower, Elvira learnt of a scenario regarding the fragments of Gazardiel and provided major assistance to the Ascended, such as gaining a vision of Gazardiel being confronted by many Aengudaemons and fending off Asmodyne. However, tragedy struck as Elvira was ambushed and kidnapped by the Xionists, whom used Fi magic upon her and made her think she was disconnected. Her mind, with all of the stress and panic, finally started to shatter. The Arm of Tahariae was stripped from her and was corrupted. However, the cleric was saved by her allies. Yet her nights became surrounded by nightmares, and hallucinations followed her wherever she go. Despite her state, she still assisted the holy orders - who in turn attempted to save Elvira from her madness. During this time, Elvira spent more time with the Ascended, who provided her with comfort. Heial especially eased the shattered cleric, and the two eventually fell in love with each other. It was Elvira who confessed first, after being badly burnt while saving a cultist so that he could be questioned.

Elvira’s madness grew rapidly upon encountering Asmodyne, the Fragment of Madness, whom was predicted to be the one to kill Elvira. Elvira’s paranoia grew and the orders grew more desperate to save her. But Elvira continued to fight the madness inside her, determined to figure out the mystery behind Mesmodyne and Asmodyne. She assisted in activating the pillars and gaining information behind the mystery, her ability to speak and understanding Flexio proving to be useful when she gained a vision of Gazardiel being confronted by many Aengudaemons within their true form. She explored the Isle of Malin, pulling together pieces of the puzzle, as well as trying to prevent the activation of the World Pillar located in the city. Yet she could not prevent it, watching Asmodyne activate it and corrupting the land.

Then, the Paladins fell out of the Second Holy League, after an argument with the Ascended and Clerics about the scenario. When Heial was unable to attend the find charge against Asmodune, Elvira took it upon herself to lead the holy orders to protect Mesmodyne during the final battle, but soon she realised her mistake. Gazardiel was reformed and betrayed them, summoning forth Aengulic Justicars and unleashing a horrific massacre. Elvira fought valiantly against one of the Justicars but she was mortally wounded, barely escaping with her life. When they arrived at the Tahn docks, Elvira had to be carried away by her fellow clerics as the descendants turned against them. This event badly damaged Elvira’s mind further, for she felt responsible for leading the Clerics and Ascended in the charge to protect Mesmodyne, and that she had failed to see Gazardiel's true intentions when they were so clear. Yet despite her growing madness, Elvira attempted to persuade the descendants to aid them against the Justicars, knowing that they may repeat the massacre once more. However, such pleas were met with disapproval and hatred, which did not help Elvira’s condition. Even some of her closest allies turned their backs on her plea because she should have listened to them, and her mind grew more shattered.

Ascension

With hope looking bleak for the woman, Heial took a measure that would ensure Elvira’s survival and to provide a unique opportunity for the Clerics and Ascended. Elvira was given the offer to become an Ascended but was permitted the following: she was allowed to guide and protect the clerics, as well as continue to hold faith in Tahariae, as well as be the holder of clerical knowledge in the event the clerics fall in the future and need guidance. This did not sit well with Elvira at first, who was reluctant at first but after considering such, the woman knew that there was a future in the offer. This, Elvira accepted to become an Ascended and handed over the mantle of Prime Adherent to her student, Seyer Reesye. Shortly afterwards, she was willingly disconnected from Tahariae. Her madness was healed upon being connected to Aeriel and the woman could finally relax and think properly, although now her devotion was to both Tahariae and Aeriel - which many were skeptical about.

Elvira took up an alias called ‘Pyralis’, as many still despised the Ascended for the Gazardiel event and she wanted to lay low for a while, regain her thoughts and calm down after the madness within her was lifted. During her time was Pyralis, Elvira took on the role as informant for both the Clerics and Ascended, as well the Tribune of Team Firelight, a team of Ascended based in Sutica who kept watch over the city and assisted the clerics there in a range of scenarios - such as the Draoi incident. Thanks to her and Team Firelight, the relations between the Ascended and Sutica grew. Elvira kept close contact with the Adherents and the Sutican clerics, ensuring they were safe and well. She also provided as a mentor and guide to the clerics lost or confused, as well as teaching them more about Tahariae and the light. This was also when Elvira took on the role as Meditator between the Clerics and the Ascended, resolving any conflict between the two sides and ensuring the leaders kept in contact with one another. Eventually, Elvira soon grew irritated of being Pyralis and finally came out as herself, feeling a burden lifted from her shoulder. She continued her work and managed to finally regain the Arm of Tahariae, although the sight of her relic corrupted made her fume with controlled fury. When the end of Axios came, Elvira went out and assisted in the evacuations, as well as assisting the Ascended in building their ship. Elvira came to Axios as a cleric and left Axios as an Ascended.

Atlas

Upon the arrival at Atlas, Elvira helped the Ascended set up a temporary base before venturing out to explore the world. Elvira maintained a good relation with the Paladins, Clerics, and Ascended, enduring that there are no fights occurring between them, as well as alerting the orders of any scenarios that they need to know, thus making her an important figure within the Holy Orders. While the Ascended were based within Sutica, Elvira kept up her role as Meditator between the Sutican Clerics and the Ascended, but she soon grew to realise the clerics there were disobeying the Tenets and Tahariae Himself. Thus she soon left Sutica with the Ascended, who also saw Sutica growing corrupted. It was said that she also assisted her old order, the Adherents, with listing down all of the crimes the Sutican Clerics have committed and the members responsible.

While many remained glued only to their beliefs and order, Elvira expanded out and came to understand how each order operates, as well as aiding many members - from simply offering a shoulder for them to lean on after a battle, to aiding in important operations and lending support. She stretched out from being the Mediator between the Clerics and the Ascended, now including the Paladins to ensure that no further conflict between the Ascended and the followers of Xan broke out. Additionally, a new arm was forged by the woman, the Arm of Aeriel which she beared on her left arm and allows her to cauterize wounds with her soulfire. She remains true to this role now, keeping balance and assisting all she can with her calm words and advice.

Elvira was elected as the Sage of Ruin, the overseer of the Ruin Sect within the Ascended, and bore a seat upon the Soulstream Senate. With her Warden, Dwalin Irongut, she spent most of her time teaching new agents and out on the frontlines in battle.

Ascended Hunts

However, the Ascended were eventually hunted down by the Dominion, due to one Ascended achieving the status of High Prince and sought to eliminate the order. This resulted in what became known as the Ascended Hunts, a war between High Prince Belestram and Master Sage Heial. Ascended from both sides were hunted by the other, with many being disconnected in the process. The order’s members all split up and went into hiding, though Elvira still kept on performing her duties despite the risk of being caught. During this time, she settled within a small grove and only left when her help was needed. She was eventually captured by the Dominion, for the Arm of Aeriel - a relic she and Heial created together. However, she was spared giving away the location by a friend who used a truthstone on her - but helped her instead to avoid giving the location away by loopholing and vague questions. As this event went on, Elvira begun to question whether or not the Order was right in hunting down all Ascended that were under Belestram as a student, or if a better solution could be found.

The September Prince

In time, the Ascended Hunts quelled, but the Order was never the same since. Elvira eventually came to live within the city of Okarn'thilln and assisted in running the tavern there, while Heial ran the clinic. In time, the hunts calmed down and she lived a relatively peaceful life for the time being, enjoying the rather sweet irony of a half elf living in the high elven city. However, the September Prince soon came forth and Elvira found herself thrown back into conflict, having bore witness to the Prince’s emergence. Knowing she cannot stand idle, Elvira took the mantle of leading the Ascended during the wars with the September Prince. She was present for all fights but held Siege Commander during the battle of Okarn’thilln and provided an immense amount of Ballistas and bolts for the fights. She went as far as to forge five ballista bolts infused with Ruibrium, a life draining crystal, but such greatly damaged her body, yet it was a risk she was willing to take.

With Okarn’thilln fallen, Elvira formed a small home for herself called ‘Alchemist Bay’, located right next to the Celestial Tower. However, her relation with Heial became stretched upon witnessing the death of an Ascended named Magnus, whom Heial disconnected and killed with a disconnection knife to the eye. She grew to disapprove of his actions, especially upon a meeting with a pair of individuals who were investigating the Vaeyl and wanted the Ascended’s aid in the matter. Thus, Elvira set about joining the pair of individuals as a close ally in figuring out the Vaeyl Order and ceased in attempting to get the Ascended involved.

The Vaeyl Order and departing Atlas

Elvira joined forces with the group who were investigating the Vaeyl Order - named the Musketeers. She agreed to lend her support and knowledge in the matter, serving as both warrior and healer for the group. It was there she learnt immensely about the Vaeyl and of their history. She joined the Musketeers in many of their travels, including travelling over the ice wall in the south. It was in these adventures that Elvira witnessed a great deal of scenarios and events, which shook the woman greatly. Eventually she learnt the individuals she was with were given the task with ending September permanently with the Darkseed. Knowing what the seed would do to the land, Elvira reluctantly agreed to aid the group and lent them one of the Ruibrium bolts she had forged. It was at the battle of the Dominion that the Prince was felled by the Darkseed , carried by one of Ruibrium bolts she had forged.

With the September Prince gone, Elvira started to relax and took on a neutral view on life and settled on ending fights rather than fighting or standing idle. Though a few disagreed with her interfering, Elvira kept on doing what she felt was best. Yet she grew slowly depressed and longing for peace, fed up of the continuous wars and challenges she had to face. Many presumed her to be the same as all other Ascended - self-righteous, selfish, and all about themselves. Elvira denied such countless times, as she only sought to aid others and ensure they lived, even if it meant taking on their burdens. Such accusations and beliefs made Elvira begin to loathe being an Ascended, from the hatred such title bestowed upon her. Additionally, the actions and disappearance of Heial threw her deeper into the pit of despair. Ultimately, it got to the point where Elvira nearly took her own life, weren’t it for the words from many allies and family.

Elvira continued her work with the Musketeers and eventually, they learnt of the land of Arcas from the Vaeyl. She lent her support in encouraging the Descendants to Arcas as the blizzards grew worse and also aided any individuals affected by such. Eventually, the time to leave Arcas came as the Red Vaeyl attacked the Cloud Temple. Elvira fought alongside the Musketeers and the remnants of the Ascended. They made their way to the Ice Wall and passed through, entering the lands of Serrimor.

During the small trek through Serrimor, Elvira held no major roles in any of the events that transpired there. Instead, she took this time to regain her strength and aiding anyone who needed help. Though, a part of her wished she turned her boat home into a sled.

Arcas

Elvira arrived in Arcas with the Descendants, unsure on what to do - The Ascended Order was leaderless and was in shambles, and she was homeless. With history repeating itself, in the same motion of how she became Clerical Leader, Elvira took charge and begun to get the order organised and set up. She negotiated with the Sutica Trade Princess and got a manor for the Ascended. A year or two later, she was voted as Master Sage and accepted the mantle, though rather unwillingly.

However, it was then that she and the Ascended Order received a vision from Aeriel. They bore witness to a realm consuming being approaching the Mortal Realm swiftly, with only Aeriel herself standing in its way. The Archaengul called for their soulfire and they sacrificed their own connections to her in order for the being to be defeated. In tears, Aeriel bestowed to them a new power and duty - protect the mortals from threats such as the being and September, and ensure such calamities are not repeated again. Thus came forth the Tearstone Shards.

As time went on, Elvira focused on rebuilding the order and learning of the new land they are within. However, due to her ties with the Ortu Solis - an organisation of individuals from different magical backgrounds (including Naztheraks), Elvira was seen as a demon supporter. The woman was unwilling to invoke violence against a group that holds the same goals as herself and the Ascended, intending to focus on the larger matters on hand than the smaller ones. In time, this led to the Ascended departing from Sutica upon countless moments of break-ins, vandalism, and even attacks from citizens of the nation. Elvira and the Order soon became a part of The Concord of Llyria , with the Master Sage standing in as the Ascended's represenative on the council. There, the Ascended continued to grow and aided the nation of Llyria through ensuring the dark arts were not used within the city. Yet Llyria eventually collapsed as time went on and the Ascended were left homeless due to such.

During this time, the voidal tears began appearing and the woman led the Ascended Order in aiding the Descendants in this matter. However, upon the conflict of the first voidal tear within Korvissa, Elvira witnessed the oldest Ascended, Blundermore, sacrifice his life to save another Descendant from the void tear - resulting in the man becoming trapped in the void itself. Fulled by fury over the loss of Blundermore, Elvira and the Ascended continued to assist the Descendants with the threat, noticeably being present during the fight with Mother.

Death

However, being immortal and having suffered so much in a stretched out lifetime, Elvira's mental health began to take a turn for the worse. Noticeably, she began resenting being an Ascended once more, due to the fact she began witnessing the death of many close friends and allies while she continued to live on. The feeling she began feeling was that of loneliness. Additionally, Elvira and the Ascended began to notice their powers were weakening, with many members of the Ascended worrying that they were losing their powers for a strange reason. Ultimately, the order disbanded due to fewer Ascended being present.

Eventually, Elvira decided it was time for her to move on and take her place within the Soulstream. The woman passed on her prized possessions and bid farewell to many individuals, family members, and friends. From there, she began a pilgrim to the tallest peak within Arcas and quietly passed on in peace. Many speculated how the seventh Master Sage would perish - with most voting that she would die in battle. Instead, she died in peace and in solitiude upon one of the highest peaks within Arcas during a full moon night.

Although gone, Elvira had left a strong impression on many individuals throughout the land. It is said that her death was mourned not just by those within all three holy orders, but also by many Descendants and Dark magic users who had encountered, fought, or befriended her.

Family

It is said that due to a permanent scarring on her body, Elvira is unable to bear children - thus making her the last person bearing Terryal and Naromis blood. However, some have speculated whether she is fully infertile or if the chances of her bearing children are extremely low due to this injury. Though, there have been recent rumours the woman has indeed bore a child, though many still meet these rumours with speculation. Elvira has been adopted into a range of families, while also providing to be a motherly-figure to many. Although Elvira is discontent with her inability to have children, she sees family more than just who has her blood in her veins and consider those close to her as family. The people she closely considers family are many members of the Clerics, Ascended, and Paladins, but also the Winterleafs and Vincrute Clans.

However, as of late, it has become apparent Elvira indeed does have an actual son who has recently arrived within Almaris.

Personality

To those who know her, Elvira has always come across as a calm and mature woman. In most situations, she seems able to keep calm and can tolerate most behaviours, although she may add a comment here and there. Nothing seems to be able to anger or irritate her much as she is often seen with a calm gaze. She is also known for being surprisingly wise and good at giving advice to others when they need it most, often guiding and helping them as they go on. Unlike most holy users, her views towards the dark forces is something most interesting, as she never shows hatred towards them or feels the need to outright kill. To her, many of the dark forces became who they are because they either felt as though there was no other choice, because they were forced, or if they desperately needed it. She knows her duty is to end those of darkened nature, though she aims to only kill those who seek to use their corrupted state and form to outright hurt people intentionally. Intentions is truly what matter to Elvira, and should someone show true good intentions and seek help, Elvira will attempt to help them the best she can. Whenever it be by offering peace, or having to free them from their corrupted state.

In battle, she knows that retreat is not a cowardly move and does not focus on taunting her opponents, remaining completely silent and not afraid to turn away if the battle falls out of hand. To many, she is a warrior of honour, sticking true to her own code and never underestimating anyone. She is one to think smart and ahead in battle and in normal life, considering every option with the awareness that there will be both good and bad consequences. Furthermore, she never critises or attempts to change someone's views, instead merely allowing them to follow what they believe is right and wrong, even if it is against her. Though should this person's views risk the person taking a truly dark path, Elvira would willingly seek to aid them, even if it means getting herself harmed. Elvira is notoriously protective of those she see as allies and innocent, willing to even go against mortal rules if it means saving a life or proving someone’s innocence (although such occasions are rare). Yet to provoke her wrath is something ill advised, for those who have seen Elvira’s furious nature describe it as akin to a demon’s wrath or a fiery inferno raging destruction.

Random Tidbits

• Elvira is the creator of the famous Naromis Mocha, which has proven to be a hit amongst a range of people. It was also a drink Elvira heavily consumes for some apparent reason.
• Many believe that Elvira has lost either her right or left arm during battle, due to her tendency to wear armour over one of those limbs. However, Elvira does in fact have both her limbs perfectly in tact, although she nearly lost her right arm during a confrontation with a necromancer in Vailor. The only limbs Elvira had in fact lost was her left eye, which was ripped out during a fight with a homunculus and her right hand - which has been replaced by a black quartz golem hand.
• While she may not look like it, Elvira is a fan of some rather… mature romance novels.
