== Biography ==
Saskia was born in Lorifir hidden behind the secret waterfalls found in the southern parts of the Feywild. She was born as all Sun Elves in Zenith. 
After the loss of their father in the Battle of Wilting Grove, the Lady of Lorifir wanted to ensure that her daughter Serelia would be prepared and her people would remain protected. Even though Serelia and Saskia had a close bond, as they got older Serelia became more involved in the duties as future warden. This caused them to spend less and less time together causing their relationship to weaken and for Saskia to become alienated from her family. 
Her mother was a very wise person who knew how to act in crisis and was a great leader for her people. She showed Saskia the ways around plants and animals, sparking her connection to nature. She learnt how to find natural solutions for many things by using from plants to fungus to even certain types of soils, how to pick berries at the perfect moment. She taught her to cast spells and to speak Sylvan and Common as well as be able to communicate simple ideas to animals. 
Her father was a huge part of her life. He taught her to play music and to roll down hills, even to climb the waterfall cliffs with water rushing down splashing them as they went. He taught her to find traces in the most unlikely of places, and to listen to the sound of nature to sense movement around us. She learnt to use a siren, both for shooting and for playing sweet songs. He was good friends with Ivellios, the boat maker, who became an uncle to her and the person to talk to when what she wanted was to be with her father. He was the only one she told before leaving and he provided her with a backpack filled with things for the journey and a boat to lead her to wherever she may go. 
She often enjoys making jewelry from all kinds of materials: flowers, scrap metal from the blacksmith, vines from trees, leftover fabric, pieces she finds in Ivellios's workshop... She also likes to draw, particularly things she learns like an echinacea flower with its properties next to it or an annotated diagram of a boat or the poster to an upcoming carnival.
