## Description

### Appearance

Sol'eana Poly'hym'nia is a light skinned high elf with strawberry blonde hair and bright teal eyes. They tend to wear cream and tan color clothing with accent of a magenta piece of some kind and a teal feather that matches the color of their eyes. They always have their lyre on them and a symbol of symphonia.

In Sol's first appearance in "The Adventure Begins?" (C1 S1 E1-3) they are seen with a half shaved hair style with most of their hair flowing on their right side of their head whilst the shaved part was badly dyed a light red color which seems to look closely to Sol's mother's hair color. Sol is wearing 3 small gold hoop earrings on their left ear and the earring on their earlobe has their teal feather dangling from it. The first outfit they appeared in was a makeshift travelers clothes that were ripped up from an elegant dress that is most definitely from their home village. It consisted of a shoulder-less sleeve shirt consisting of several belts throughout it to keep it together, 2 small ones for the sleeves, 1 for under their chest, and one for their waist that also keeps their skirt on. Their skirt is a torn up piece of cloth from the same dress their shirt came from and seems to be asymmetrical also having the longer length be on their right side. Underneath their skirt is a pair of tan pant that are partially covered by two-toned brown knee-high boots.

As of "Dances from the Dirt" (C1 S1 E24) Sol is now wearing a eyepatch to cover up their lost eye. The eyepatch has gold elven filigree with magenta plating behind and can fold into itself to present their eye if they so wish making it into more of a headband. They now have their earing holding their feather on this headband.

During "Yes Please! Episode 2: An Engaging Evening" (C1 S1 E25.5) Sol take some gloves from their home and proceeds to wear them constantly after. The gloves are 2 toned leather with the lighter portion being cuffed with magenta statin coming out of the cuffs. It appears that the index finger, middle finger, and thumb is missing from the left glove supposedly to make playing their instrument easier.

As of the end of "Hunger and Hangovers" (C1 S1 E31) Sol changes into a winter outfit due to the weather getting colder and snowfall. Sol's winter outfit consists of a sleeveless turtleneck shirt that ends in a long point in the back and is sort in the front ending close to their trousers. Over their shirt is a magenta mantle with a fluffy fur interior and edging clasped together with a gold feather broach. They are still wearing the same tan trousers and boots from the previous outfit.

While on the air ship during the episode "McGuffinite" (C1 S1 E48) Sol's hair is at a point of being too long so they tie it up in a pony tail with a magenta ribbon.

During the episode "Yes Please! Episode 13: Shopping Trips" (C1 S1 E51.6) Sol goes to an enchanter and magically has their outfit changed. They now wear a shirt jacket that has leather straps on their waist and under their chest connecting to leather pieces that round out the shoulder-less area of the shirt's sleeves. These straps are reminiscent to Sol's first make-shift outfit. The shirt jacket itself has puffy sleeves that since around the wrists and ends in a puffy skirt-like bottom splitting in a V shape underneath the leather strap at the waist. The skirt portion has Poly'hym'nia magenta ruffles filling the edges and inside to puff it out. Sol also has a half shoulder cape clasped with a single gold chain. The pants stay the same, however the boots change slightly to be more similar to their first pair of boots they traveled in with a line down the center to match the seam line of the jacket shirt. Sol now wears gloves tan gloves that have a wide opening where their puffy sleeves are fixed into. Their hair, now long enough is in a long braid with their long and short bangs stick out above their headband with their feather.

### Personality

Sol is a naïve and rebellious teen elf. They tend to enjoy being center of attention and genuinely want to make people smile. They usually tend to act on emotions rather than logic as they still haven't fully matured mentally to adulthood yet. Although Sol seems to be considered the leader or the one who has it all together to the party they are stricken with heavy anxiety that causes them to act rashly if things are going badly.

This teenager is a proud kid who wants to prove themselves while having the freedom to do so. It is alluded to by Sol's partners that they have a very kind and heroic heart which they dismiss.

It is unclear how much Sol is fully aware of what is going on or if they are choosing to play dumb but they tend to watch everyone carefully and when they are least expecting it bring up hard truths. They tend to have a spiteful and playful side to them when they want to mess with other people causing minor conflicts from time to time that they dismiss as the other person being unreasonable.

However deep down, in their heart which they only let a couple close to them see... Sol considers themselves a terrible person. Someone who is selfish and would rather put themselves first (which they sometimes do). They desire nothing more than freedom and power to protect those most dear to them and with their selfish streak would toss their own freedom away for the sake of others. However, if you asked them, Sol would say they would have wished for themselves but thought it better the other way.

## Biography

### Early Life

Born into an upper class society Sol had no need to want for anything in life. They were well cared for and loved very much by their parents, or so they believed. Sol was always in classes for high magic in order to protect their village as was traditional of the first born of the Poly'hym'nia lineage.

The Poly'hym'nia lineage was that of a royal line that took up magic to defend their society from outside influences and to make sure the countries secrets were kept secure and hidden from outside races. As such there always was a looming expectation above Sol’s head.

Originally Sol took on their duty quite seriously and trained day in and out in almost all magical arts. However, as time grew on and the innocence of childhood turned into teenage angst; eventually leading discovery of family secrets. Whilst cleaning up in their family’s library after studying, Sol overheard some of their handmaidens gossiping about their father’s “endeavors with other women.” Shocked and hurt by this knowledge, Sol went about secretly researching to find out if such accusations were true, unfortunately as they dug deeper into their father’s past they found that not only did he have many bastard children but also that many of his past partners weren’t even Elves!

Sol’s High Elf lineage was that of a matriarchal society so a man getting away with something like this was very unusual, especially if many knew about it as it seemed. Perhaps the only reason Sol’s father was able to continue on with his unsavory endeavors was probably due to his heavy magic bloodline that he originally came from, as most parents tend to “stay together so that the children can grow up right” after all.  He was a good father to Sol and loved them very much as they were a creation of two very strong magical family bloodlines, however, in a way Sol was a loved tool.

Hurt by all the information they dug up Sol became less interested in their studies, and although they still excelled in it, they were less willing to continue with extra research or practice that their parents once admired them for.

Sol’s mother, finding that perhaps a change of scenery would help light their inner flame again, sent them off to a prestige University of magic.

At first Sol went to classes regularly, finding most tasks boring as they were able to complete assignments easily and without fail. However, as they realized they were better than the set studies they slowly went to their classes less and less, eventually not showing up at all.

One day while puttering around the campus Sol came upon a group of students from another study sector, they seemed happy and sang songs and laughed. Curiosity got the best of Sol so they decided to join they group, full of curiosity they kept visiting the group often throughout several weeks, completely ignoring their studies.

Eventually Sol started studying with the group of jovial students that they found so interesting, taking smithing, painting, and music courses (ones they were not enrolled in but just went to anyways).

With this new inspiration in their lives Sol became affluent in the magic of music and made their own war lyre happily playing it now with their group of friends.

Unfortunately, Sol also found themselves practicing…. other endeavors. Sol started partaking in drug use through this group of misfits and easily got addicted to them.

Eventually word got back to Sol’s parents about their lack of participation and eventual failing in their predetermined magic classes. Thus their parents wrote that they were coming to bring them home and reeducate them to be a proper Poly'hym'nia child once again. Reading of this news Sol quickly packed up any belongings that they needed or wanted and left the University, heading as far away from where their parents could find them.

Sol was suffering from withdrawals, as they had very little money left from once having infinite money to use on drug purchasing from their parents. Hopelessly ragged and worn down from being on the run, Sol eventually found themselves going towards Vil with little to no incite on what lies ahead.

> Dear Mother, Forgive me for not contacting you sooner. I fear my absence has caused you some distress. For that I apologize, it was never my intention to hurt you. I miss you, very much; and often, I wish I was back at home. However there’s still much I need to learn outside the village before I can come back as a resident once more. I hope you can forgive me for this, but I promise I’ll be back. I am curious about something… I hope that perhaps you could answer me as it would ease my need to seek out such things. If you could… please tell me why our village needs a protector or even if it truly does. I understand you want to tell me after my ceremony but I feel as though that would simply be too late for me. I beg you, please tell me why. Perhaps I can come visit for a short time to see you, but understand I cannot stay. I love you dearly and miss you so much. With Love, Sol’eana
