Eliana has a well built, svelt frame. Her skin is a very pale brown, and she has curly dark brown hair and brown eyes.

## Personality

Eliana is stubborn, arrogant and impulsive. She tends to resort to violent actions first and words later. She loves her family and is protective of anyone she cares about.

After learning the truth about her lineage, Eliana feels unworthy of the responsibility and praise heaped on her.

## Biography

Eliana was born in the Year 1,000 of the Second Age to King Audric and Queen Rielle Courverie. Shortly after her birth, she was handed over to Simon Randell under orders to bring her Borsvall and seek asylum. However, a complication with Simon's spell sent Eliana to the Year 1,000 of the Third Age. She ended up in Orline where she was found by Rozen Ferracora, who took her in and raised Eliana alongside her husband Ioseph.

Early on, Eliana noticed how quickly any cuts or bruises healed. She initially dismissed it as her just being lucky, but as she grew older, she realized how unusual it was. After Ioseph's disappearance, Eliana was taught how to become a bounty hunter by Rozen. During one of the missions, Eliana made her first kill at age twelve.

### Furyborn

When girls and women first started vanishing, Eliana did not think much about it. No one she personally knew had been taken, and she doubted that the Empire would steal its own vauled citizens.

During her hunt for Quill, she heard a girl's scream.

### Lightbringer

Info is only from the end of Lightbringer. More info about previous parts of the book still needed.

*After being brought back by in time by Simon to the year 1000 of the second age Eliana succeeded in changing the future by stopping her mother from killing Audric and defeating Coriens angle soldiers. As a result she was never taken to the future by Simon and was erased from history shortly after. Shortly before her death she bonded with her mother albeit briefly.*

## Abilities

Due to being one of the prophesied Queens, Eliana has control over all seven elements. Unlike Rielle, she cannot use any of them without the assistance of a casting. Any wounds she incurs automatically heal within hours or minutes. This trait goes away once her powers are unleashed. After gaining better control of her powers, she obtains the ability to heal wounds and past scars. She even brings Remy back from death.

## Relationships

### Ioseph Ferracora

Ioseph is Eliana's adoptive father. He cares deeply for his children, no matter if they were his or not. He was believed to have died fighting in the war against the Undying Empire, but is revealed to be alive and possessed by an angel in the Emperor's palace. He dies after being thrown off a balcony by Corien, when he forces Eliana to choose to save either Ioseph or Remy.

### Rozen Ferracora

Rozen is Eliana's adoptive mother. She loves Eliana and Remy deeply. After Ioseph, her husband, died fighting in war, she began to take on a variety of tasks with her excellent assassin abilities. When Rozen knew she was not going to be able to fight anymore, she began to teach her daughter her skills. Rozen injured her leg and was not able to provide anymore, leaving El to be the sole breadwinner for her family. Rozen later went missing, kidnapped by a group called Fidelia. Eliana works to find her tirelessly. She eventually morphs into a crawler. She meets El in a battle, and attempts to murder her. Eliana pins her down, and Rozen is able to gain some consciousness, and is able to tell her daughter to do it quick. Eliana stabs her cleanly, ending her life.

### Remy Ferracora

Although not related, Remy is Eliana's younger brother. Eliana will do anything to protect her brother, even if it means risking her life.

### Rielle Dardenne

Eliana bares much resemblance to her birth mother. She shares the same strong jawline. As well as having similar features, Eliana also inherited her fiery personality, and the same gifts as her mother.

### Audric Courverie

The Lightbringer is the one who granted life to El. He and his daughter share the same eyes and smile. He is the Lightbringer and Eliana is the light. He died before Eliana was born. Even without realizing it, Eliana had a deep, inner connection to him somehow throughout her life. Her favorite lullaby was a lament for Audric's death.

### Simon Randell

Simon and Eliana are initially antagonistic towards each other. After coming to an understanding, they slowly form a friendship with each other. Their friendships develops into a romantic one, and the two eventually become lovers.

### Navana Amaruk

At the beginning, Eliana does not like Navi due to the fact that the people of her country did nothing to save Ventera when it was invaded by the Empire. But then Navi helps her believe in herself, in the hope that she can save their world, and they become dear friends.

### Harkan

He is Eliana's best friend. Harkan became a bounty hunter to help keep Eliana safe. However he hates it because it means hurting their own people. Their friendship becomes a romantic one, but Eliana cannot return Harkan's feelings as strongly as he feels for her. When he drugs Eliana to take her away from Simon, she tells him that she hates him and that he's lost her forever. She is furious with him for not only taking her away from Remy, but for taking away her choice to stay or leave. While Simon might be trying to take away her choice by making her fight in the way, Harkan was doing the same thing by taking away her choice by forcing her to flee the war.

### Zahra

While Eliana was captured by Fidela she met Zahra, a wraith, who was against the angels and wanted to help the humans and Red Crown stop them. Zahra shows Eliana a glimpse of the war a thousand years ago when the angles were released from the gate by Rielle and of the night when she was born. Zahra helps Eliana and Navi escape from Fidela and they become close friends.
