Elvira Windhelm

Half-Elf/Human, AKA ‘The Bastard’, ‘Evi’, ‘Lady Windhelm’’

Appearance

Elvira is described as a tall, toned Half-Elf with tomboyish features and a pride to her step. She has dark brown hair that is cut short on the sides and combed back on top into an undercut. Elvira's yellowish-brown eyes have a judgmental stare to them that strikes fear into the hearts of recruits. Distastefully, people call it ‘resting bitch face’.

Backstory

Early Life

Elvira is the bastard daughter of King Windhelm and an unknown human woman. She grew up in the village of Yulyu and was raised by her uncle. Elvira’s uncle taught her to never settle, to always reach for excellence, and that being a bastard, and a woman, meant her best wouldn’t be good enough. Not in the eyes of the Elves.

The Thunderbolts

Elvira was the last member of the Thunderbolts. She met Hildr Firebrand and the others while they were passing through her camp. Thinking they were bandits, Elvira ambushed them and put up a fight, but was quickly cornered. Elvira explained that she was on her way to Val-Adin to confront her father and join the military. She joined the Thunderbolts on their journey east. With the Thunderbolts, Elvira found a group of likeminded rebels with which to grow close with and learn under. Elvira grew especially close with Hildr, with whom she developed romantic feelings for. They would exchanged books and poems, then discuss them over campfires and even read to one another. Despite her feelings towards Hildr, Elvira rejected her and chose to stay on the path towards Val-Adin. When Elvira did reach Val-Adin, she gave Hildr one last book. The contents of which are unknown. Elvira did promise Hildr and the other Thunderbolts, that the next time her they saw her, she would be an officer.

Military Career

Elvira became the first Female, and first Half-Elf, to join the upper echelon of the Val-Adin’s Counter-Terrorism Unit, the Jaeger Corp. She joined the 2% of her class that had passed the grueling physiological tests and would later go on to be their Commander. Elvira’s acceptance into the special forces was met with jeers and laughter from her haters, but like she did her whole life, she blocked out the noise and strived for excellence. Her position has inspired younger generations of orphans, bastards, and outcasts to fight and strive for greatness like she did.
