Characteristics
The public seemed to hold many different opinions of the de’nevir. Though one thing was never questioned, always consistent— her loyalty. Elaine was loyal. Not only to her nation but to the very few she considers a friend. Many could have called her cruel or vicious. Due to her unfriendly nature to outsiders and apathy towards many situations about humans and most other races. However, this is something the woman is incredibly proud of. Elaine saw fear as respect in many ways. As a result, she worked towards her goal with endless determination and refused to feel remorse over what she had to do to gain it. Do not let this cold exterior fool you, Elaine could often be seen in the tavern she owns. Making sly jokes, teasing others, smiling with sharp teeth. The de’nevir loved to be around her friends and the people who looked up to her. Her front can be debated. What can’t be debated is her perseverance and willpower to fight for her beloved family.
Physical
The de’nevir stood to be four foot eleven, below average for her race. Her natural skin tone was quite sickly looking as it held no hue. Painting herself crimson red with her dark magenta hair, she brought herself a new look. Across her face were many freckles spread throughout her nose and cheeks. Below the bridge of her nose was a long and horizontal scar that Elaine felt quite proud of. This shows how she had managed to survive fight after fight. Her eyes held a mesmerizing yellow hue while her scleras were an almost burn orange. Her teeth were jagged and sharp, feeding into the woman’s sinister look. Elaine modeled many outfits. Her most notable one, however, is when she wore a simple off-white tunic with a leather corset over top of it. She wore a layered, dark green skirt accompanied by many gold chains and various other jewels. Her hairstyle had varied but Elaine prefers pigtails or her hair completely down.
History
Early Life
Jolie Elaine Lovell was born in the outskirts of Anjyarr as the second oldest of four siblings. Elaine, at this time, strictly went by “Jolie”. She had grown up under both Anjyarr and De’nevir accustoms. Painting her skin was a must, but actively learning to follow most teachings the nation had to offer. Her upbringing was somewhat normal. The Lovell Household was far from poor as they lived comfortably, though Elaine’s curiosity began to grow on what life might be like outside of the desert. Her curious nature was heavily discouraged. She was intrigued by the books she constantly read about. To her, nations like Hadriana and Luminion were a distant fantasy land.
At the quick age of twelve, Elaine’s life was struck with tragedy. Her eldest brother, the one she was closest with, died in a senseless act of violence caused by strolling in the depths of night. The news had shattered the girl. His influence had played a significant role in her long-forgotten optimistic view of the world. During this grieving period for her and her family, Elaine’s father had been a guiding light for the young girl. She slowly found comfort in her own life. Until another tragedy occurred in the Lovell Household. After walking with Elaine on her journey, her father quickly fell ill himself. To then give his final breath on her fifteenth birthday. With a heavy heart, she alerted her family.
Running Away, the Nomad Life
The girl was stricken with grief. As her mother quickly moved on to marry a dark elf in Al-Jabrid, she fled during the night, leaving her three siblings for good. She had no time to regret this decision that changed her life. For the following ten or so years, Elaine lived on the streets of Eden. This was the first time in which she got to see Eden in all of its glory. From the ruins she came across, the beautiful and tall buildings, no sight was left unseen to the bright-eyed girl. It was not until later in her early twenties that she decided to stay in one spot for longer. There in the Lunburg tavern, she met a few others she could deem as close friends. Elaine’s life was a new adventure each day. The memories she created at Ceril’s Keep, Lunburg, and on the paths are memories that she’d never forget.
Settling In A New World
As Elaine reached twenty-four, her traveling days had to come to an end at some point. She knew this. As Elaine had met Faiir Chamaire in the visitor section of Luminion, she had led the young girl to the previous “Empire of Mitrona”. She was immediately hooked. Mitrona’s winding trails and fascinating greenery had left her mesmerized. This was something Elaine had to be part of. And as she learned of the Fall of Nous, she shook her head, forgetting all of it. As she wasn’t personally affected by it.
The woman quickly read about the culture of the Azari’cerr and the history of Mythanthar’s reign. The good, the bad, and the outstanding. Unfortunately, quickly after she was sworn into the oath of Mitrona, she realized how imperfect the nation seemed. Great tales of Mitrona’s remarkable reign fell flat. The young girl knew what to do– and quickly began to work. Here is where she picked up as many jobs as she could. No more was she the nomad that previous fifteen-year-old girl wanted her to be. She found a home. Friends to love her through thick and thin. Elaine began working under Shalia Chamaire for medical knowledge. And once Shalia gave her the clinic and passed away, her hard work only continued. Elaine hosted events each week as a tavern keeper, librarian, Tri’cilus, and medic. All in which she overworked herself, but made a name to be proud of.
As her hard work had been recognized for the promotion as the first Lla’viltir, and High Councilor, she quickly gained most people’s favor. Around this time, she had met a tall Azari’cerr after a heated spar. He had fascinated her in all senses. And shortly after, Elaine took the man on a hunting trip to find honey. This is where she would learn his name– Apollon. Something so simple, but a name she adored. Elaine was quick to begin a close relationship with Apollon. As she was getting to the age of settling down, he was a first pick for the woman. After a year or two of courting, she had given Apollon a task. For her hand in marriage, Apollon would need to prove himself worthy even further with a list of things to do. After he had done so with flying colors, they got engaged.
Elaine’s Death
The then Khari’cerr wanted nothing more than a child of her own. Someone to look at her with the same unconditional love. In the year 1544, the woman gave birth to Adriel-Elias Moulin-Lovell who had a twin but did not make it in delivery. A premature baby he already was. Being that Elaine was below average height, she was not made for childbirth. After the birth of her son, Elaine fell ill. She tried everything to stay afloat. Herbs, teas, exercises. But nothing had helped. The Khari’cerr was the first to accept her fate. She was going to die and there was nothing she could do about it.
She tried making her last years memorable. Something for her not to forget. Elaine laid down her axe and chose words instead. The Khari’cerr died peacefully in her bed for her husband, Apollon Lovell, to find her still. Elaine left him a widow and her children without a mother. Her final wish and action was passing down the crown to a true ‘Cerr, someone she’s been mentoring silently.
Trivia
Elaine, much like Faiir, was seen as a motherly figure to some.
Since Elaine’s paint was crimson red, she has earned the nicknames, “Cranberry” or “Rasberry” to some. Adding to this, Elaine had long since ditched her first name “Jolie”. Very few are allowed to call her this as it strikes a nerve.
Elaine was an archmage marinamancer.
The previous Khari’cerr was a bookworm at heart.
Elaine, technically, claims four children in total as her own. Two of them aren’t tieflings.
