Basically a repost with some updated information. I've taken the new form of Elva's curse from Brisingr but made her loyalties more clear than Brisingr left them.
Full Name: Elva
Other name: Shining Brow
Race:: Human Healer
Side: Varden
Birthplace: Tronjheim
Age: Technically, about 2. However, due to Saphira's magic, she looks like a young child of about 7 and has the mind and voice of an adult.
Gender: Female
Birthday: The equivalent of December 15
Eyes: Large, unnaturally violet eyes.
Hair: Sleek, long black hair that falls to her waist with bangs that hide Saphira's mark on her forehead and occaisionally, her eyes.
Weight: Although she eats a lot, Elva is slender and very light, about 50 lbs.
Height: 3'
Magic User: Yes, but she can only heal and protect. At present, she can only heal minor wounds (medium if she doesn't mind passing out) and put up weak wards.
Preferred Weapon(s): Elva knows just what to say to harm people emotionally and their weaknesses. She prefers to use words to harm her enemies or reveal their weaknesses to her allies, but if push comes to shove, Elva has been learning how to use a dagger.
Personality: Elva is incredibly cynical (especially for her age) and rarely acts like a child. She often sports a mocking smirk and lacks the ability to hold back her laughter for the sake of tact. However, this is not to say that she is a bad person. She has a great capacity for forgiveness and prefers to put herself in danger rather than send someone else to stop what she has anticipated.
Appearance: Elva looks almost like a changling or a twisted version of Snow White. Her skin is very pale in sharp contrast to her black hair. Unnaturally violet eyes and the silver starlike mark on her forehead add to her air of otherworldliness. She often wears black and violet dresses but goes barefoot inside.
Likes/Dislikes:
Likes: Food, people who give her food, Angela, cool temperatures, and people who don't treat her like a freak.
Dislikes: Her curse, clumsy people, rations, and people who don't keep their promises.
Strengths: Elva can anticipate misfortunes and danger about two to three hours before they occur, thus allowing her to save lives. She can also make a conscious effort to look after a certain person. Therefore, she is the perfect bodyguard. Elva also can sense mental weaknesses and knows what to say to make people feel better, giving her diplomatic advantages as well.
Weakness: Elva is aware of every single misfortune, no matter how small, though she is starting to learn to ignore it. However, her curse has left her with a rather twisted view of the world and she can be quite cruel when provoked.
Family: Her parents died in the service of the Varden, leaving Elva an orphan. Greta has taken care of her ever since, and Angela later took Elva under her wing as well.
Brief History: Elva would have been just another casualty of the battles between the Empire and the Varden if Greta had not begged Eragon and Saphira to bless her as a baby. Saphira marked her forehead with a star- shaped mark similar to the gedwey ignasia while Eragon attempted to bless her. Unfortunately for her, he said "skolir" (may you be a shield from misfortune) instead of "skoliro" (may you be shielded from misfortune). This compelled Elva from an early age to aid those in pain. Frustrated because that was rather impossible to do as a baby, she willed herself to grow up with the aid of Saphira's blessing.
In Surda, Greta was still looking after Elva. One day, she became aware that an agent of the Empire was going to assassinate Nasuada. Escaping from Greta, Elva made it just in time to push Nasuada out of the way and tell the guards where the assassin was. Ever since then, Elva has been one of the bodyguards for the leader of the Varden and loosely for the King of Surda as well. Later, Eragon was able to change the blessing, allowing her to ignore the pain yet sense it if she wishes. Now she stays with the Varden because her conscience tells her it's the right thing to do. Angela anticipates spending the next decade teaching her how to behave. She was sent on the expedition because the Varden had no idea what to expect and thought her abilities could be useful in giving them the upper hand.
Anything extra: As far as PC's go for this RP, the top leaders of the Varden and any of their Dragon Riders are under Elva's protection, but obviously she can't poof out of thin air to save someone.
