Elise Wardyn's page

Elise is lean, wiry and athletic in build. She is above average height for a human woman, but possesses little in the way of bulk or weight on her frame; instead, her physical strength derives from conditioning, stamina and inner grit.

Though she appears quite attractive and youthful, there is worldliness about her that suggests wisdom beyond her years. Her demeanor is can be described as kind, yet stern and determined when necessary.

Elise is of Illuskan descent, and has piercing blue eyes and light blond hair as a result of that heritage. She keeps her hair groomed and cut to mid length, though she keeps her hair tied back in a pony tail for practical purposes.

Elise has an infectious and magnetic personality, though privately she is somewhat more introspective. Most people she encounters would quickly describe her as bright, buoyant and rarely without a smile or kind word for the people of Waterdeep. She is optimistic, and given to enjoying life and all it has to offer,

Born in Waterdeep to unknown parents, Elise was raised in an orphanage run by priests and priestesses of Helm. Ever an outgoing child, Elise was well like by her benefactors, who sought to raise her in the faith. Taking the lessons of Helm to heed, Elise saw herself in the role of protector, taking on bullies and injustices regardless of the consequences to her own well being. With age though, she learned that some instances are best served with mediating words as opposed to outright confrontation.

During adolescence, Elise showed an affinity for the divine healing. Seeing it as a sign of blessing, one older Priestess named Sister Carel took Elise under her wing in Waterdeep. Elise learned to heal both with divine grace granted through helm, and to stitch up wounds and injuries using more mundane tools of the trade. In time, Elise mastered her skills, at which point Sister Carel suggested to Elise that she was ready to leave the temple orphanage and strike out on her own.

Taking her trade to the Waterdeep, Elise joined the City Watch and raised the ranks quickly. She was known as an honest broker, and able combatant due to inherent athleticism, and a gifted healer. Whether it was injured colleagues in the City Watch or citizens at large, Elise was known to be a reliable officer to have around... and a mean card player at the table.
