Eislyn

The inspiration for Eislyn was the butterfly motif found in Disney's Encanto. She was made while I had COVID, which is so fun. So fun. Anyway, the story she comes from still doesn't have a set name, but she was the first character made within that universe.

## Appearance

### Simple Appearance

Eislyn is a relatively average girl. Average height, average weight, average build. Her paler skin is a rarity in the kingdom and her dark brown hair frames her face in a flatteringly elegant way. She has light violet eyes.

### Detailed Appearance

Eislyn is an unassuming figure, average height and build and a calm demeanor. Light skin like hers is a rarity in Vrederin, setting her apart from her darker-skinned countrymen. Despite growing up in the royal palace, she seems like an outsider in everything beside her accent. Her hair is brown, though a cool-toned brown. It falls partway down her back and is mostly straight. It does get wavy in humidity and tends to frizz quite a bit in the summer months. She keeps her bangs neatly trimmed and, while she prefers to wear her hair down, her duties in the palace usually require her to keep it tied up. Her eyes are light violet, likely the only trait she inherited from her father - aside from her eyes, Eislyn is the spitting image of her mother. Her eyes are wide and expressive, framed with long, thick lashes.

## Background

### Childhood

Eislyn was born to one of the queen's ladies-in-waiting in the royal palace of Vrederin. Her mother's name was Amaleah, "joy", and it certainly fit her. Eislyn was born in late winter and named for her mother's secret, illusion magic. Her father was unknown, but was likely a servant in the palace, as few in the palace ever left. It was hard to tell, though, particularly as Eislyn got older and became the spitting image of her mother.

Her birth was joyous, but also a bit of a scandal. Amaleah was unmarried and, as a high-born lady, that was disastrous. However, Queen Odette didn't want to allow something like this to hurt one of her closest confidants. The story was spread that Eislyn was born to a Sevic prisoner of war and was brought to the palace as an act of mercy for the child. This explained her pale skin, which was far more common in their enemy's homeland. Only those in the palace knew the truth, but Amaleah was preserved any further social judgement. There's only so far gossip can go when the queen declares an opposing story to be truth.

## Other

### Notes

* She can both create & control illusions and see through other people's illusions.

### Trivia

* Both Eislyn and Ophelia were intended to be X-Men OCs. They ended up being high fantasy, but both were originally going to be mutants.
* Eislyn's name means "dream" or "beautiful rose". I meant the first interpretation.
