**Eibhíln** 「イービールン *Iibiirun*」 is a mage formerly of the Elf Tribe and is a member of the White Brigade. She has used her Blood Magic to continue living and keep her youth through an ancient forbidden spell, gaining more knowledge and power throughout the centuries.

## Appearance

Eibhiln is a thin and lanky elf woman, who appears young with white skin. She has vivid red eyes and cross scars marking her cheek and forehead. She is attractive although this is in an uncanny valley way, her eyes a bit to clear, her teeth a bit too sharp. Her horns, brown with golden tips jut up from her hair and her left horn has the top broken off. Her hair is white with purple streaks and is braided on the left side, reaching down to her shoulders. Her most defining feature however, is her nails, which she has replaced with blood red claws.

She wears a cocktail dress that is extremely dark purple, with a wine red skirt layered over it as well as a few gold chains. Her arms are covered by tattered purple long-sleeved gloves with a gold medallion that has a red gem set into it on each hand of the glove. She wears grayish-red thigh-high boots.

## Personality

Eibhiln is someone who seeks to survive no matter the cost. She is cynical about nearly everything, the cost of so many years on this planet, and shows no love to humans, believing them to more or less be the reason for every single one of her major problems. She especially has a grudge against the Magic Knights due to the events of five hundred years ago and takes joy in fighting and killing them, although she doesn't seek it out. Where her hatred is most pointed to however, is the royals of the Clover Kingdom, holding them responsible for killing her family.

However she is good at putting up a facade as well, able to easily lie, although she is bad at keeping up a facade for a long period of time and will often out herself by giving away small details. While she knows a large amount about people her skill at social interaction had degenerated from before she changed herself due being subtly 'off' in a way that triggers many mages danger instincts, another cost of the spell she cast. When she speaks though, she speaks softly, trusting her voice to carry through, even in a crowd full of people. The scary thing though, is that it often does.

The one thing that has not changed over the centuries however, is her love for knowledge. At her core she is a scholar and has built up a collection of knowledge throughout the ages and is always willing to learn more. She loves learning as a whole and is even willing to teach people new spells or ancient ways to control mana if they are okay with it. Knowledge is power to her and she is always willing to gain more, even willing to do things that are morally reprehensible just to gain more knowledge. While she is willing to talk to people, at her core she would prefer to be reading rather then talking.

While she hides it well, Eibhiln is bloodthirsty. She doesn't show it unless she is truly shaken enough to loose her normal demeanor, but she relishes fighting people and showing just how powerful she is. This fact still scares her after all these years. She doesn't want to admit that she enjoys it because then she knows that her excuse to herself, that she was doing it for survival becomes meaningless. When she fights in an equal fight, her normal softspoken demeanor becomes unhinged as all hell, delighting in ripping people apart.

## History

### Early Life

Eibhiln used to be a surprisingly normal member of the Elf Tribe, born solidly middle-class to two loving parents. When she grew up, she made her living as a doctor, using her Blood Magic to heal patients suffering from wounds. However, she used to delve deep into the stores of knowledge that the Elves had, learning as much about magic as possible. She even came across a Forbidden Magic spell, a ritual to exchange a life for a life. Due to her knowledge and training with magic, she became the premier doctor of the Elf Tribe. One day, a man showed up to her clinic, his sister collapsed in hand. A human hunter had mistook her for a deer and shot her in the chest.

She did her magic, managing to bring his sister back from the brink of death and get the arrow out. Afterwards, he introduced himself as Conor, and asked if they could meet up again just as friends of course. They kept meeting and eventually fell in love, getting married under a full moon. After a while, they even had their first kid, a little girl named Aine, having another child, another girl named Maeve. Things were going well for her, and she started to stop delving into archives in search of knowledge, happy where she was right there. Even though the human and elves were fighting, causing more attacks, they were confident that peace would be declared soon. Worse came to worse they had each other, and were sure that that was enough.

Eventually, she saved up enough money to hire a cart and go on a small trip, going to a town in the Heart Kingdom. Eibhiln was more restrained about it, but Conor was excited. The two and their daughters, with Aine already being a teenager by now, started on the trip, with everybody excited. However, when they went to the town tragedy stuck. The people of the town had never seen elves before, believing them to be demons. A noble of the town started a mob that went after the elves in the inn room they had. Aine got killed immediately, trying to calm down the mob, and Eilbhiln and Conor had been lethally injured, the noble hitting them with poison magic that even she couldn't heal. As she cradled the body of her daughter, knowing she was about to die and seeing her husband, who had never had the strongest mana and wouldn't be able to protect her last daughter, she realized what she had to do. Using her blood magic, turning her nails into talons, she finished off her husband as she died. But she didn't stay dead. Using the forbidden magic she had learned, that she had held back from her mind, she kept herself living, even as she was covered in the blood of her own husband. Her eyes turned red and horns twirled up from her head, forever a mark of what she had done.

### Resurrection

As she resurrected, she managed to disperse the mob out of fear of the person who had just stood up after she died and grew horns. She started looking for Meave, who had ran away and hid inside a tree, which probably saved her from the mob, but she didn't come out, scared of the horned lady who had killed her dad. Eibhiln kept looking for her, covered in blood but couldn't find her. After they saw the noble die the mob dispersed out of fear, but there were still bodies on the road. Eibhiln left, being sure that her entire family was dead and not able to sense her daughter due to the sheer amount of blood on the ground. After she left however, Meave crawled out of the tree, and eventually made her way back to the Elf Tribe, still sure somehow that her mother had died.

After the killings, Eibhiln didn't know what to do. She returned to the Elf Village, only to find that the guards wouldn't let her in after she told them what happened, her use of Forbidden Magic baring her from the town. She was nearly consumed by despair, close to becoming a dark elf, but then she resolved to continue living. She got a cloak to hide her ears and her new horns and started traveling, trying to find a new life for herself. She went all over the Heart Kingdom, learning about new places and new things to find, hiding her identity as an elf. She travelled like this for decades, learning everything she could.

Eventually, she decided to rest. She was around a hundred, and was pretty sure she'd die soon so she crossed over to the Spade Kingdom through the grand mana zone. But as she looked at herself in the mirror after decades spent traveling. She hadn't changed a bit, still no older then she had been at the wedding. She finally realized what had happened. She wasn't alive, she was a corpse, that had been shambling around pretending to still be alive, kept in a state fit to walk around in by forbidden magic. While she could still be killed, she would never age. All of the Elves she knew were probably dead by now.

This realization freed her in a way. Because if she was always in her prime, then she could become more powerful. And what the massacre had taught her was that the kind died out, the weak died out and the righteous eventually died out. But the powerful? They survived. They survived and lived like kings for the rest of their lives. To survive she had to be powerful. And knowledge was power. From that point onwards she was a women with a mission. She delved into dungeons learning of ancient secrets, she even sometimes took peoples blood to experiment on it, managing to develop new skills. She did everything she could, no matter how morally abhorrent it was to live and gain new knowledge. Eventually she learned how to think of the other elves without crying at what she had done, by treating them as ignorant on their own.

She grew stronger across the ages and gained new knowledge, living in dangerous mana zones so no one could come after her and becoming an urban legend in certain parts of the kingdom, a lady who spoke softly but had knowledge beyond her kin, dripping in blood. It was a nice status quo and she kept it up, going on the down low and traveling through all the kingdoms equally, so nobody knew about her. She especially hated nobles and royals though, still holding a grudge.

### Joining the White Brigade

Eventually, while she was traveling through the Spade Kingdom, someone met her. They were trying to recruit her into the White Brigade, an organization of people dedicated to bring down the kingdoms. She treated them arrogantly at first, asking why she would side with a human. But they made guesses about her life that were uncannily accurate, and she became more interested. Deciding to test their strength, she challenged the leader to a battle. If they won she would join, if she won then she would stay here.

He said yes to her offer and the two fought. Eibhiln fought well but for the first time in over a century, she was outclassed and lost to the strange leader. Agreeing to join the White Brigade, she did so on one request. The request was that that they somehow, in the future managed to kill all of the noble who treated others like scum, her heart burning with the idea of taking revenge, that she had ignored for years. The leader said yes and gave her a simple mission as her first one. She was to kill a few nobles in the city next to here, for those nobles were cruel and had jobs that would interfere with a plan. She said yes.

Going to that city, she killed the nobles one by one, draining them of blood. But after the second one, people caught on and Soleil, a Mage Defense Force Captain was sent to stop her. Eibhiln first met Soleil outside of the manor of the last noble she was assigned to kill. Soleil's mana signature reminded her of someone and when she did a cursory scan with her blood magic, what she found surprised her. Her daughter had somehow lived and had children who had had children and so on. And one of those elves, her descendants had had a child with a human of all things. Happy at the news but disgusted by Soleil, someone who had decided to work for nobles like the ones that had killed Eibhiln's family, she got into a fight with her. While she didn't manage to kill the last noble, being foiled by the Armor division, she learned that her descendants were still around. So far joining the White Brigade had proved its worth and she started going on more missions.

## Battle Prowess

### Magic

**Blood Magic:** Eibhiln's magic attribute lets her control blood. She can make weapons out of blood, use it to heal people and most concerningly, take other peoples blood, using it to weaken them, or even control them like a puppet. Due to being alive for hundreds of years, Eibhiln has become extremely powerful. However, many of her spells are more analytical in nature, letting her see things that most people can't. Many of her most powerful spells need time to cast, but she is capable of casting complex spells without a grimoire, a rare feat.

**Forbidden Magic:** Eibhiln has only used forbidden magic once five-hundred years ago, which is what caused her horns to grow on her head. The deal that she struck with death let her live longer and regain her youth. But in exchange she had to finish off her husband and is essentially being a corpse kept alive by magic, subtly off in a way that triggers danger senses. She cannot use Forbidden Magic ever again however and this is the only thing she has done with it.

### Equipment

**Grimoire:** Eibhiln has a three-leaf clover grimoire filled with Blood Magic spells.
