Elfa Alfheimr

*"When I was a little girl, I was told that I could never be the greatest swordsmen in the world. Not because I did not work hard. Not because I had no talent, but because I was born a women. Men are stronger than women, I was told. Thus I can never be the greatest. I took offense to that. I take offense to it now. That is why I work so hard, and push myself so far. I refuse to be bested on my gender alone. I will be the worlds greatest swordsmen, or I will die trying!"* **Blue** to Rival Swordsmen.

### Swordsmanship

Elfa uses Flowing River Sword Style. Elfa learned the style from her mother. It was originally a ceremonial style used to perform rituals in Alfheimr. Her mother took the style and removed the excess movements, and then taught it to her daughter who was struggling to learn the way of the sword. The style involves going with the flow of enemy attacks and counter attacking when they are vulnerable. It also involves the manipulation of water particles in the air.

* Dance of The Silver Moon - A sword Dance that involves twirling with the blade. The spin draws in water particles which then are infused with kinetic energy lunched out of the spin to attack enemies.
* Silver Snow - A flying slash that shoots a blade of water vapor at a target.
* Silver Counter - The user blocks a attack with the sword. Instead of resisting it they flow with the energy of the incoming attack and twirl their body. The momentum follows them as they spin their body and lower themselves. They extend their sword attacking a enemy that attacked them high with a slash toward their legs filled with their own kinetic energy.
* Silver Cross - Silver cross is a high speed draw cut. The user draws their blade from their sheath at high speeds. On the way out it grabs water vapor and brings it along for the ride. The water vapor forms a invisible slash that trails the first cut. This can extend the size of the cut or the range depending on how the water vapor lands.
* Silver Spear - The user flings themselves off water vapor and stabs their blade toward a target. The water vapor follows extending the stab deeper into the target, or extending it's reach.
* Silver Melody - The User calls upon the moon spirits. They place themselves into a trance and attack with the lunacy of the moon. They dodge attacks on instinct and attack with the ferocity of a wild beast. Those who have faced a opponent when they use this can hear a melody in the wind. As the blade cuts thought the air and water vapor it creates a sound making music. If one can pick up on the tone and tempo of the music they can avoid and predict the users attacks.

## Background

According to Blue, she was born in the small fishing village of Saint Eyes. Her mother was a fisherman, and her father was a guard. While her parents worked she was watched over by a nanny and a butler. Her nanny told her stories and her butler instructed her onw how to be a lady. One day she was taught how to use a sword in self defense and fell in love with it. However her Butler refused to teach her anything more about the blade. He stated it was not her place. Her mother took pity on her and took a ritual dance and reworked it as a sword style. She then taught it to her under the guise of teaching her the ritual dance so her butler won't get mad. Eventually Blue became skilled in The Dance, and began to challenge the local guardsmen to duels.

Her father found out and began to scold her. He even took away her sword. So she stole her sword back from the armory and fled to follow her dreams as a swordsmen. As a result she hid in a ship till she reached two islands over. There she paid the ship captain for passage, and began her adventures as a wondering swordswomen. In her adventures she defeated a man with a dog face for a head, a talking bear, and a armored gorillia.
