Eliesannor's Backstory[/url]"]The house of Lord Jarin Curtis and Lady Teharissa Mirasandoral was of minor import in the court of the king, but their position was secured by the marriages of their six daughters to other families. The Curtis-Mirasandoral women were poised, elegant, and beautiful, schooled in matters of the court and the arcane by the Lady Teharissa herself, and were renowned for their strength of character and charm.

Until the seventh daughter was born. Young Eliesannor held the beauty and grace of her sisters and took to the scholarship of her mother, but there was, for lack of a better word, an oddness about her. She was polite, pleasant, and very cheerful in society and never sought offense, and by all indications progressed through childhood like any typical person of nobility. Yet those who spent time alone with her often felt an unsettled sensation, like a person walking over their grave, as the expression were. There was little one could base this uneasiness upon, not even the coy smile at the corner of Eliesannor's lips nor the seemingly odd shift in the reflection of her steady gaze.

Needless to say, this baleful aura left Eliesannor unmarried, so the Lady Teharissa emphasized her teachings of the arcane to her youngest daughter in order for her to become self-sufficient. Eliesannor proved a capable student, weaving a mastery of magic beyond her sisters, as though born with an inherent power that only needed to be sculpted and shaped.

Whatever oddity or unconventional manner surrounded the young half-elf, Eliesannor did not seem to mind. She happily practiced her letters and courtly recitations just as eagerly as her arcane lessons. Seemingly unrestrained by the obligations of her sisters, she grew to enjoy both the company of her parents as well as an independence to adventure on her own into the countryside.

The Curtis-Mirasandoral House sought employment for their youngest daughter. Through their connections, Eliesannor auditioned for entry into the ranks of the king's guard. While lacking any martial prowess, her arcane power was enough to secure a position as a lady-in-waiting to the royal family, though she was always positioned at a distance and only responsible for overseeing the safety of the women and children. Her knowledge of court etiquette would find her at many public events, daintily standing in the corner or in a non-descript balcony, blending into the crowd while keeping her steady gaze and delicate smile over everyone.
