Elincia is a compassionate elf that simply wants people to be healthy and in good spirits.
Elincia realizes that conflict exists. Her view point is 'Hit 'em and move on. Don't piss on them.' Then tend to the wounded.
Elincia started as a squire to her knight and mentor, Sir Iam MacGregor. Her main job was to help him with his armor and heal his wounds (which tended to be both great and many).
Her mentor taught her that using 'wind magic,' as he called it, was a great tool for sweeping away enemies and, when the need warranted, protect from the slings and arrows of ranged attackers.
Sir Iam, before he passed away, taught her the basics of 'wind magic,' and Elincia found that she had a natural affinity for the stuff.
Step 2: Goals:
Elincia wants, more than anything, to help those less fortunate than her. She sees herself as a hospitaler and her goal is to make the most of her abilities towards helping the poor and needy.
I would really like to see Elincia be able to make a mark in the world, possibly as a 'Joan of Arc' style character.
Step 3: Secrets:
Elincia fell in love with Sir Iam when she was his squire. She still mourns for him in private and sometimes overcompensates as a way to be as much like Sir Iam as she can.
Elincia's estranged parents have sent out agents and emissaries in an attempt to find her and bring her back to the elven clan. They do not understand why she would want to put herself in harm's way to help the lesser races.
Sir Iam is 'technically' alive, but as an undead anti-paladin. He has been having 'thoughts' about his young, attractive squire and how he could corrupt her.
Open to DM manipulation.
Step 4: Notable Relationships:
Her former mentor, Sir Iam Macgregor, initially taught her the basics of both combat and magic, which she proved quite capable in both fields.
Grimli Chastip is a gnome that she has met recently in her travels near the fighting lines of the Worldwound. He offers some companionship (of the friendly kind) as well as basic healing tinctures, in return for her knowledge of basic magic spells (which he, in turn, turns into what he calls 'formulas').
Anevia Tirablade is a scout that has wide knowledge of the situation, mainly in Mendev. She has offered to help Elincia find a good place to start fighting near the front lines, whenever she feels she is ready.
Step 5: Memories, Mannerisms, and Quirks:
Her memories as a child revolve around living in a palatial castle-like structure. Her parents were rarely seen, but Elincia had several nannies and servants seeing to her every whim, teaching her the 'necessary' arts of being an elven princess.
These 'arts' included (to Elincia) being a pompous jerk to other elves and to do her best to not even acknowledge that 'lesser races' (i.e. humans, dwarves, etc.) exist. She quickly learned to hate this way of thinking.
Because of her upbringing, she speaks very formally, almost all of the time. The only exception to this (so far) is when she is in her cups, which is rare (she learned how to 'guzzle' as a princess, which is to say, she has put many of those 'lesser races' under the table over the years.
She is a terrible liar.
She has a (nasty) habit of spitting whenever she casts a spell.
