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.
Backstory
Hit Like a Girl
Elvira is the ilegimate daughter of Jaonos Windhelm and an unknown human woman. She was raised by her uncle Martus who taught her to never settle, to always reach for excellence, and that being a bastard, and a woman, meant even her best wouldn’t be good enough. Not in the eyes of the Elves. Elvira endured the stern, watchful eye of the others in her village, and when she was old enough she left the village to confront her father. The King of the High-Elves himself.
During her journey, Elvira encountered the Thunderbolts and mistook them for bandits looting her not-so-hidden camp. 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 for as long as it took for her to reach Val-Adin, or gain the courage to confront her father. 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 swore to Hildr and the other Thunderbolts, that the next time her they saw her, she would be an officer.
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 critics, 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.
Campaign 1, Heroes for Hire
Elvira's introduction to Croak and Dagger was less than ideal, as she was first seen berating Clymene's mother Atalanta, and called all warriors from Yulyu 'sparsely dress whores'. She bet Atalanta that her second-in-command Raiah Theron could best Clymene in the afternoon's archery duel, which Clymene would go on to win in a sudden-death paintball match against Raiah. Beneath Elvira's crude, abrasive exterior was a woman who wanted nothing less than the best for those like her. In Clymene, Elvira saw herself and went on to push Clymene physically and mentally, challenging and confronting her at every interaction. This would not go as Elvira planned, as she eventually gave up and continued her pursuit of individuals involved with the Hex drug problem in Val-Adin.
Elvira's investigation eventually aligned with Croak and Dagger's growing war with the Forsaken. Forced to align with them, Elvira slowly allowed herself to be vulnerable with and work alongside Croak and Dagger, whom she grew to have nothing but the highest praise for. Elvira remains dutifully loyal to the party especially after their continued will to fight when all seemed lost in the aftermath of the Forsaken attack on Meadowcraft.
Miscellaneous Facts
- Elvira has only made three attacks during the entire campaign and is among the least used NPC combatants in initiative-based combat.
- Elvira wields two dueling sabers and has a fighting ferocity reminiscent of Wrath from Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood.
- Elvira was originally supposed to have a French or German accent, but when she was introduced I accidentally gave the accent to one of her officer's instead. Her neutral accent ended up sticking.
