The Character
Name: Kana Thorpe
Age: Around 130 years old
Species: Elf
Occupation: None as yet, though she offers her services to any who need them, with payment not necessary. She is a skilled healer and fletcher, which are her principal occupations, but like all the other elves, she is able to do magic. She would ride to war if needed, perhaps she could be persuaded to do some work as a hired soldier. She is non-conformist in many of her actions, which leads her to consider such offers, whereas many of the other elves would not serve anyone else by choice.
Celebrity avatar (please check list in Rules and Information board first): Sarah Michelle Gellar
History (At least three paragraphs): Kana Thorpe is an elf from the forests of Du Weldenvarden. When given her full elven title, she is Kana Svit-Arlen, which gives her the title of Lady Kana, daughter of Arlen. She comes from a long line of elves, and can trace her family all the way back to the time of Eragon himself. She is an only child, and her father has now died, although her mother remains alive and well, living in a elven city far from Du Weldenvarden. Her father was killed at the hand of a rogue elf, who was sent mad by the horrors he had seen while at war during the time of Eragon.
In her one hundred and thirty years of life, she has seen many things. She has been entranced by a solar eclipse and similarly has travelled far and wide across the globe.
She loves the mountains, and spent many years there before settling again in Du Weldenvarden where she now lives.
She is skilled at magic and using natural resources to perform healing. Before coming to Du Weldenvarden again, she spent some time working as a healer for the distant mountain peoples, where she sold her skills in return for shelter and clothing.
She was taught to ride a horse by her father, before he died. She continues to ride horses as both a means of transport and for pleasure, training her own horses and looking after them herself. Her father also taught her to be skilled with her hands, in the style of the elves. She can easily string a bow and is a good fletcher. She can survive without difficulty in the winderness, away from civilisation and is able to hunt for and cook her own food, although she prefers not to eat meat, as do many elves.
She was brought up in Du Weldenvarden, and has now returned there after many years of travelling and living in different places. She always felt that Du Weldenvarden was her home, and intended to return there after seeing all else that she felt could interest her. She would go travelling again if the need or desire arose, and would be quite glad to go to war for her people, like the elven maidens who participated in the stuggles during the time of Eragon.
Appearance (Add a picture and 3 long paragraphs thorough description):
Kana is very tall, with long blonde hair which flows down her back and elven pointed ears. She wears traditional elvish clothing, which she both buys and makes herself, and always carries her bow and arrow, which she is proficient at using. She can usually be seen with a quiver of arrows strapped to her back, and although it cannot often be seen, she has a silver dagger with a single saphire layed into the handle which she carries either at her hip or strapped inside one of her kid leather boots.
Her eyes are a pale blue, which are nonetheless intense and her lips are always red. Sometimes her eyes appear green, when cast in the glow of the sunlight streaming through the tops of the trees. Her complexion is flawless and healthy due to her elvish blood and the amount of time she spends outdoors.
She has a very regal demeanor, which gives her a ready and upright stance, which emphasises her height.
Despite her one hundred and thirty years of age, she shows no signs of being older than her early to mid twenties, just like most of the elves of her age.
She has the wisdom of her years though, and this has begun to show behind her icy eyes. Her eyesight is very good, as is her hearing, which comes from her being an elf.
She has long and graceful fingers, giving her extreme dexterity and a skill with her hands, which she uses to great effect in her spell casting and her work such as fletchery and healing.
Personality (At least two or three long paragraphs): Kana is aloof and regal, much the same as all the elves. She helps people readily and gracefully, with whatever they need doing.
She is caring and highly intelligent. She is an animal lover, who adores her horses and the creatures who reside near to her.
She once fell in love with a human, and now has a very different attitude towards life. The death of her lover brought her to fully understand that nothing lasts forever, and that she must live to the full and appreciate every moment.
This leads her to be very non-conformist in her attitudes and actions, often going against the advice of her elders to persue her own course.
She is wise and has a serious demeanor, although she can also appreciate the value of being able to let down her hair once in a while.
Dancing naked in the moonlight with other elven maidens presents no problems to her, nor does it occur to her to be bashful or embarrased.
She respects the elven beliefs of welcoming the Solstices and such other celebrations, but it is not as important to her as her elven brethren.
She has a musical voice, and loves to sing, enjoying music in many forms.
Write a short (2-4 long paragraphs) sample RP: Kana sat by herself on the wooden stump which served as a stool. She held in her long fingers the shaft of an arrow, with the head missing. She pulled the swan feathers through her fingers as she looked at the arrow, unaware of anything around her.
The toes of her kid boots were scuffed from her trek in the woods, but she had not shot the arrow.
She looked up, squinting against the winter sun, which momentarily blinded her, sending little circles of light cascading across the landscape layed out before her.
Once her eyes had adjusted to the light, she could see for miles ahead, right up to the horizon line where the sunlight glinted off a strip of water.
Where the land disappeared into the water, and then into the sky, there were low clouds, fortelling the rain which had not yet reached Du Weldenvarden's forests.
Kana stood, making a flicking motion with her hand. The arrow disappeared, although she had not performed any magic.
Her elegant gait was upright and commanding, yet graceful and femenine.
She turned, looking back towards the forest where she had come from. It would soon be time for her to return.
In the true style of Du Weldenvarden, the sun was beginning to vanish as quickly as it had appeared, chased away by the onslaught of the forseen rain, which dashed towards her with a certain ferocity.
She didn't mind the rain, she mused, as she watched it come towards her, with a speed which didn't seem possible.
She did not think this was natural rain, which led her to believe that some spell casting was involved, but to what point and purpose...
Perhaps some other group of elves needed the rain to grow their crops, or maybe it was part of a ceremony or celebration.
The Winter Solstice celebrations - that was it.
Kana sighed. She had missed it again.
It didn't matter to her, but mayhap she would not be cast in favour for it.
She should return immediately, before she was missed.
She looked towards the forest before turning and vanishing into the leafy canopy.
