Character description/personality:
Short-haired (with brown hair), average sized (5'5") Half-Elf wearing an outfit that seems to resemble the patterns of a Monarch Butterfly. Butterfly likes nature, but with more respect for the circle of life than for wildlife itself. Think a park ranger in real life. She also longs to impress the elves (Humans are easier to impress), so she has practiced hard on the bow and nature lore.

Combat tactics:
Strongly preferring the bow, all of Butterfly's attacks assume she is using that weapon with the one exception being if her enemy has gotten too close for comfort. In those cases, Butterfly uses her Dagger. If it is possible to shift away and shoot with her bow, however, she will do that sooner than use the Dagger. But Butterfly also realizes arrows can run out and so the Dagger serves as a good backup for that as well.

Character background:
Butterfly's birth dad was a close friend to an elf named Adran. The two adventured together and became best of friends with bonds as powerful as that of their wives. But the two men were in a battle that cost Butterfly's father his life. So the father, with his dying breath, asked his best friend to take care of his wife. The dad died not knowing he was a father and his wife died in childbirth. So the best friend took the human girl into his family and vowed this girl would be his daughter, naming her Butterfly.

In the years that followed, Butterfly was raised among wood elves deep in the High Forest where she was taught how to be an elf. She loved her parents and grew to have the same likes, dislikes and preconceptions as her elf peers. Every season (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter), Butterfly was taken to live among civilization in Loudwater for anywhere from 10 to 20 days, depending on what was going on and what her parents felt was needed. To this day, this has been Butterfly's upbringing. She is a good girl loved and accepted by the wood elves, able to live off the land, and trying to make her adopted parents proud. In recent history, Butterfly has become an adult by human standards, so her elven parents have encouraged her to go out on her own, help people and make good friends like they once did. With the intent to visit home every month, Butterfly is doing as told...
