Growing up in Ensance, she had always enjoyed adventuring in the middle of the night when her parents were asleep. She was also very well known in her village for being one of the best and youngest healer. After her parents passed away and the brewing of a war between the Moon Elves and the Rockseer Elves, Tashi left her home found herself in a new realm known as The Claim, eventually meeting Queen Maya Prasanna of The Embrace. Impressed by her medical expertise, the Commander offered her a spot in the castle and an opportunity to work for her as a nurse.

## Biography

In 1997, Tashi Ne'glor was born to a married couple in a moon elf village within the realm of Ensance. The name Tashi (meaning daughter of the sea) was chosen due to a newborn Tashi having blue hair, and her mother's love for the ocean.

Born to a popular bard and a well-respected nurse, Tashi had a fulfilling childhood, and got along very well with the village's children. After attending healing classes, she would often run off with her friends and explore new areas in the forest they called home. At times, she could be a bit of a troublemaker, but her parents fixed her behavior through a few convincing talks.

As Tashi grew older, she became more distant from her friends and began to long for a life outside of the village she was confined to. Ensance was split between a handful of elf species, so there was only so much land that each could have. As such, there were strict boundaries and territories of every civilization, with some species being banned from other cities or villages completely. The Moon Elves were content within themselves, but Tashi had a longing to explore.

Therefore, when night fell, she would often sneak out and go beyond the borders of the Moon Elf territory. Since the days and nights in Ensance both last 45 hours, she would be able to travel quite far before having to turn back to go home before sunrise. A few other teens began to do the same, once they saw Tashi sneaking out. Then, over a few weeks, at least a dozen kids were sneaking out to visit the other areas.

However, one night, a Rockseer Elf scout spotted one of the kids in the dark, mistaking them for a Choker, a bipedal creature with a humanoid figure that is known to choke its victims unconscious then eat them alive. The Rockseer Elves had recent problems with hordes of Chokers swarming their city, so the scout shot the Moon Elf child on sight, only realizing it was an elf after getting closer.

This marked the beginning of the still-running conflict between the Moon Elves and the Rockseer Elves. Tashi's village was raided multiple times, and many of her childhood friends were murdered. During one large attack of the Rockseer Elves, both of Tashi's parents died as their home was burned down. Because of this, Tashi finally decided to leave Ensance and find refuge in another realm where there was no war.

At the age of 17, Tashi left her hometown and traveled across the lands in search of a specific mage who was able to conjure portals between worlds. After months of traveling on foot, Tashi found the mage in Copper Elf lands, living on the highest mountain alone. The mage tested Tashi over the course of a few days, figuring out what her intentions were, and once he realized she just wanted to be safe and find a new home, he forged a portal between Ensance and The Claim, allowing Tashi to escape.

Tashi was transported to The Echo, and lived there secretly until a *Trishanakru* citizen discovered her. She was then brought to King Ayokunle and Queen Hye-jin, who rule over The Echo, but the elf spoke in a completely different language (Quenya) and was unable to communicate with the royals. The couple agreed to reach out to the Commander for advice. Upon arrival, High Queen Maya Prasanna spoke with Tashi through drawings (and a little bit of English that Tashi picked up from listening to citizens speaking) and learned her story. Afterwards, Maya offered a position to Tashi to work as a nurse on The Embrace, since she needed another anyways and wanted to give Tashi a second chance at life.

When Tashi was brought to The Embrace, the first thing she wanted to do was learn English, so she would be able to communicate with Maya and her other servants, and so she could fit in more naturally. It took about two months for Tashi to get the basics down, but she was at least able to talk somewhat with the others and answer or ask questions. Along with languages, Tashi had trouble adjusting to the different lengths of day and night, as well as the modern features of the castle and the dragons that were on The Embrace.

Over the years, Tashi has become incredibly close with Maya, Luthais, and Hyunae. Her knowledge of healing and first aid grew exponentially with the advanced equipment Maya possessed. Tashi picked up a few potion techniques from Luthais and often utilizes them in her healing practices. Surprisingly, only Tashi is fully capable of performing surgery, with Luthais running behind as a second alternative. During these years, Tashi also learned Draconian and Korean, in order to talk with Hyunae and Minjun.

Only after two years was Tashi finally comfortable enough to have a dragon of her own. Maya chose Attor, a Great-Crested Wyvern with a smug but gentle personality. The two became close and often spend the night outside underneath the stars, with Attor's wing wrapped around Tashi.

Presently, Tashi is still a servant and nurse for Maya on The Embrace, with Attor sticking by her side as well.
