Eladora is a slender girl who looks younger than her nineteen years. She has vivid blue eyes, pale skin, and a head of gold silken hair which tumbles down past her shoulders. She moves with the haughty grace of a noble and still dresses in finery ill suited for Heldren - though sometimes she always manages to keep her dresses pristine.

Heartbroken and furious at her exile to the "backwater" that is Heldren, most of the villagers think her haughty and spoiled, and to an extent they are correct. But she is naturally loving and kind, just hurt, homesick, and afraid. Heldren and its people are very alien to her and she fears getting rejected again so soon and so holds herself aloof. She tends to hide her insecurities behind a mask of noble dignity - although any thought of dignity goes out of the window when she sees something that could conceivably be called "fluffy". She adores animals and refuses to eat meat. She worships Desna, but not very hard, or often, and considers herself toughened by her recent woes.

The niece of Dominicus Rell, Emperor Stavian III's chief adviser, and one of the most influentuial men in Taldor, Eladora grew up at Court in Oppara. Her father died while serving in the military in a skirmish with Quadiran forces, and her mother was always more concerend with court intrigues and her latest lovers than with her daughter.

Two years ago a pale beautiful woman arrived at Court declaring herself Irrisen's Ambassador, the Witch Illara Pale. Fascinated by the poised and brilliant woman, who soon became a firm favorite within the Court, Eladora took to watching her where she could and was noticed by one of her entourage, a young man who turned out to be Illara's son, Luken Pale. Luken offered to introduce her to his mother for a kiss, and him being handsome and mysterious Eladora was only too happy to take him up on his offer. Illara sensed a potential for magic in her and took her under her wing, spending a year and a half trying to teach her witchcraft while she carried on a passionate affair with Luken. But eventually Illara concluded that she would never be a witch, she had magic, but it was more primal, and with that she coolly washed her hands of the girl, having Luken break off their romance instantly.

Heartbroken by being cast aside by both Luken and his mother Eladora also found herself at the center of court gossip. Talk of her promiscuous ways was all around Court, her prospects for a good marriage were ruined, and even those she had thought her friends began to shun her. Worst the gossip drew her mother's attention, and furious at her for "ruining herself" Eladora was ordered to pack up her possessions and exiled to the tiny village of Heldren, as far from the luxury and intrigue of Oppara as could be imagined. Placed under the care of a former manservant of her father's, now Mayor, Harldor Tullard. Mayor Tullard clearly had no idea what to do with a broken hearted noble girl, and so settled upon a mixture of gruff kindness and letting her do whatever she wished. Not knowing what to do herself Eladora found herself walking out into the countryside in her beautiful dresses, ignoring the staring yokels and for the first time in her life experiencing nature. She brought little but clothing with her to Heldren, but has found the new love of her life - a young white stag she named Brunt. After befriending Brunt he became her constant companion, she recently purchased a set of barding for him after he was injured fighting off a boar. Her mother hopes that her being out of sight will allow her disgrace to fade away so she can be married off, but the more time she spends with Brunt out in the wilds, the more Eladora grows to loathe the thought of being bound to some fat noble against her will. But she does not know what else she can do...
