About TaelinPresent Condition:
HP 12/12
Condition Normal Spells Cast None XP 0 Channel Energy Used 0/6 Appearance:
At first glance, Taelin appears to be an Elf. Her form is long and lean, her ears have the characteristic points, and her bone structure is slightly ethereal, as though she were a young Elf. Unlike Elves, however, her eyes do not have the large, solid-color pupil. They blend from silver to blue, one inward and the other outward. Her hair is worn long in a tight braid down to her waist.
Taelin frequently carries her glaive, ornamented with vine-like traceries. On her hands are a pair of dark gloves, with the symbol of Desna in silver on the back of the left hand, the symbol of Shelyn in silver on the back of the right. She wears a long cloak, white on one face and black on the other. She generally wears it white-side out. The collar of her shirt bears a duplicate of the twinned religious symbols, as do the shoulders. A loose button hear the top of the shirt reveals the glint of a fine chain shirt beneath. The shirt itself is a deep, rich blue, while the leather breeches beneath are a darker blue, almost black. Taelin is also usually accompanied by a dark-furred mule with a patch of white fur on its forehead. The mule carries various supplies, food, and Taelin's treasured violin. Physical Stats:

Taelin tends to be more formal than most people. The most obvious sign of this is a tendency to not use contractions, but she also tends to address people by titles in addition to names. Unfortunately, this results in her seeming a bit distant or unapproachable, but that effect is entirely unintentional on her part. Background:
Taelin was always different from the others in her village. They were natural-born Elves, with parents intact. Taelin didn't know her parents. She was found as a baby nestled in a bower shaped from a bush. She was brought back to the village. She seemed Elven enough at first, but as she grew, that changed. For one, she never quite looked right. Her ears were slightly too short, and her eyes weren't the usual solid pupil of true Elven eyes. For another, she was never as social as the other children of her age group. She liked to be alone, wandering off here or there. Because she was found, she was raised as a child of the community more than by any one family, so she found it easy to sneak off to be by herself. Prone to wandering, Taelin had always found much in common with Desna, Goddess of Travelers.
While walking through the woods one day during her adolescence, Taelin came across a violin sitting on a bush. Although she didn't know it, it was the same bush upon which she had been found years earlier. The violin had a natural pattern in one corner of the wood resembling the long-tailed bird of Shelyn. She didn't know it, but it was a gift from her true mother, an Annis Hag from another part of the woods. Taelin brought the violin to the local priestesses of Shelyn, and they told her it was a sign from the Goddess of Beauty. They welcomed her into the Temple, and one of them began to teach her how to play the violin. Taelin spent many years in the temple learning the ways of a priestess, but there always seemed to be something missing. Ever since she arrived, she had heard a call. When she talked to the priestesses about it, they were of a mind that it was her Brightness calling to her. Taelin wasn't quite as sure. She had never felt the pull towards the Brightness that many of her fellows had, and what she felt wasn't like what she had heard described. She thought it might be a message from Desna, telling her to set out on the road. Soon thereafter, Taelin did decide to set out. With a donkey to carry some personal effects, her glaive, and her violin, Taelin set out to find whatever Goddess was calling to her, be it Shelyn, Desna, or both. She traveled for a a dozen years, aging slightly quicker than her Elven peers. When she set out, she was only 86, but already as mature physically as Elves three decades older than herself. Several years into her travels, when she was 93, Taelin came to the country of Ustalav by way of Lake Encarthan. In Caliphas, where her ship landed, she spent some time just exploring the city. She heard of a lecture being given by a professor from some university on Elven philosophy and thought it might be interesting to attend. The lecture was dry for the most part, but it included a segment on the Brightness. Taelin was intrigued, and she contrived to have a meeting with the professor after the lecture. Professor Lorrimor was happy to answer her questions, and was interested in talking with Taelin about her experiences in searching for the Brightness. It was Professor Lorrimor who first pointed out to Taelin what she likely was: a Changeling. Taelin, having no knowledge of Changelings, stuck with the Professor and worked with him to try and figure out what she was and what that meant. She also helped him with his research into the Brightness, and with some other research regarding Shelyn, Desna, and the idea of priests of multiple deities. She occasionally assisted him as a bodyguard, occasionally as an advisor, and occasionally just as an extra pair of hands. She was on an errand delivering a paper to Caliphas when the Professor died. Word reached her just as she was beginning to head home, and she made haste to make it in time for the funeral. Basics:
