Eleni Siska

Eleni Siska is a 22 year old young snow faery woman, born in Itasus, Aegeira, Zaiinaika. She is known in Zaiinaika as an exceptionally skilled archer, or yewmaiden as the Zaiinaikan army refers to them. Her skills have gotten her into the 1st order, the highest rank of the Zaiinaikan military. She is known to participate in the Battle ring, archery division. She is currently trying to work her way up the leaderboard, on which she first entered when she was only 17 years old

## Backstory

She was born to two snowfaery parents in the mountainous village of Itasus.

When she was 13 she enlisted to the Zaiinaikan army. After her orientation she was assigned to the yewmaidens. She showed considerable talent and was quickly trained. After years of work, she worked herself up successfully to the first order of the Zaiinaikan army, yewmaidens. Her yewmaiden "friend group" was convicted of the fact that emotional emptiness was key in being successful in battle. This is something shared by a significant part of the zaiinaikan army, but not an endorsed view for sure.

When she was 15, she was outposted on the southwestern border. Despite her paranoia and racist views, she got charmed by a young kazena man she met there. Her usually emotionless attitude gave way and she got swooned away. It is exceptionally taboo amongst faeries, especially snow fairies, to have any kind of relation with a Kazena and she was fully aware of this. During a night she was outposted there, the man found her and woke her. She took her away to his camp site and he taught her what kazena are like. They kissed, they touched eachother over their clothes. She was scared but tried anyway. Once he wanted to go further she refused and got scared. He toned it down and decided to show her some magic, which she dared to take part in again. He taught her the basics of kazena bloodrunes. She was extremely scared but the fear captured her. Everything she learnt that night was carved into her mind. When she was brought back and thought about what happened she was confounded and ashamed. She let herself go like this, something she never expected she would let happen to herself. She promised she would forever keep whatever happened that night a secret.

When she was 16, she discovered Faramund's Battle Ring Tournaments and that they had an archery division. She decided she wanted to get on his leaderboard and try to top it, for honour. She tried a few tournaments for about a year and when she was 17 she finally reached the tenth place on the board.

During her enlistment in the army, she was allowed brief leaves to continue her venture up the leaderboard. At this point in time, she is at fifth place. She aims to continue improving her archery and reach the very top.

## Appearance

Eleni is a young woman. She is a snow faery and has a very light skin, nearly cream white. She has small, blueish wings which are not big enough for flight, though she can use them to jump higher than most others. She is very slender, the average human could wrap their hands around her belly and touch hands. She has long, wavy white hair. She has a nearly flat chest and a small behind. She has big silvery eyes and a relatively big, sharp, curvy nose which points upward. Her arms are considerably more muscular than her legs and she has quite big and strong shoulders. She has relatively large, upward pointing ears too which make her hearing quite impressive.

Eleni usually enjoys very spartan clothing. She usually wears a tan pixie dress and not much more than that. Most of the time, she doesn't even wear underwear, her dress is usually long enough to cover her up enough to her liking. She often also wears a quiver and her yew around her shoulder. Her arrows' feathers bear the Zaiinaikan purple and white doubled up with golden fringes on the top sides. These are often the only colors she bears. Inside her quiver are several pockets which hold small things like a dagger.

## Behaviour

Eleni is a very timid and quite silent girl. She tries her best to suppress any feelings that may arise to stay focussed and collected. She sees strong emotions as a weakness.

Because of her unemotionality, she rarely invests time in considering others' feelings, except for fear. If it doesn't involve combat strategy she doesn't consider it.

Eleni has quite an untrusting nature, especially when it comes to other races. She is quite paranoid and is always on the lookout. Her bow is always within reach in case she needs it.

Her small wings grant her the ability to make high jumps, she uses this to perform acrobatics during battle sometimes. Although she is so focussed on efficiency, these movements are often quite elegant.

Though unemotional, it is a state that she forces on herself. Feelings can still overwhelm her though this is a very hard thing to accomplish. When she gets emotionally overwhelmed though, she can have a complete mental breakdown.

Though extremely taboo and unlike her, she grasps the basics of the kazenan language as well as kazenan bloodrune magic. The young kazenan man who stole her heart for one night taught her these things. Because of the significance of that night, the sigils for the constrictor hex, the paroxysm hex and the sanguinary curse are engrained in her mind and she is likely to use these spells when in intense emotional distress.

Eleni tends to not wear underwear. She sees it as unnecessary, to her it's only more clothes that can get dirty and has to be cleaned. Her dress usually covers her up enough and doesn't show anything. Sometimes, while doing acrobatics during battles, she actually does accidentally reveal herself but doesn't care about this and consider this a consequence of her efficiency. She is often even barely aware of this happening.

## Legacy

When she was 17 years old, she entered the Battle Ring's leaderboards in the archery division. She has worked herself up to fifth place over the year, of which she and her entire yewmaiden order is very proud.
