{Date of Birth}
30 November

L'noamuth Linath (in drow, "the lost song")
This attack is as deceitful as it is powerful. It may be most pleasing to the eyes, but it is most torturous to Eden's soul. Some may say that the reason she does not know that she has this power is because it's so painful. Soon she will discover it... maybe.
L'noamuth Linath comes from the power that the Eden's amulet holds over her vocal chords (its spell consists of a restraint of sorts). During the attack, a beam of purple light will shoot from it, and can widen to work on more than one enemy, though the more opponents it hits, the weaker it will be to each of them. The victim will hear a deafening song, but most likely the sweetest song possibly ever heard. Not only will it cause permanent damage to their hearing, but the light will temporarily blind them, rendering them unable to attack for one turn.
However, this attack will only be activated if Eden is on the brink of death, for it will cause the amulet to implode, which will, in turn, cause her to lose her voice forevermore, and possibly give her scorch marks in the torso area, though not from the implosion (the amethyst, the part that implodes, is drawn approximately a foot away from her body), but from the pain her soul will endure - the attack summons up her most painful memories and feelings to create the song. Most importantly, the attack SHOULD save her from death, but she will be greatly weakened for months afterwards.

{Weapon Information}
Yutreess Keeshe (you-TREE-ess KEE-shee)(in drow, "intelligent dagger")
YuKee, as Eden lovingly calls her dagger (she names and even nicknames most objects, inanimate ones as well), is kept well-hidden somewhere on her person. The hiding spot is ever-changing, so even opponents that Eden has faced many a time do not know in what direction she'll reach for YuKee. But when it is drawn, up close you will see its blade looks like a twisted insect's wing, tapering into a breathtakingly sharp point, and the rest of the dagger is made to look natural and carved with the designs of leaves and once again, insect wings. Bump your fingertip against its point and nine times out of ten it will at least draw blood; sharpness does not always come in handy, however. This dagger is quite accurately named Yutreess Keeshe, "intelligent dagger", because, well, it surely has a mind of its own. Opponents will be baffled when even in long-range fighting, Eden will withdraw her dagger and hold it in the flat palm of her hand. The wing designs will come alive, flap faster than a hummingbird's, and spin towards any crucial part of the opponent. It's not always successful, for sometimes it takes a moment for YuKee to activate and the opponent will have time to move away or draw a shield.
YuKee's enchantment was placed upon it by Eden's mother - Eden does not yet know it, but she does know of it. She's only heard it be called Sila Ulu Dro, "bring to life", when her mother placed the spell on their common household objects to have them do their duties on their own. YuKee belonged to Eden's mother and she put the enchantment on it and gave it to Eden before they parted ways.
{Armour Information}
Gareth-alti'ui (GAR-eth all-TEE-oo-ee)(in drow, "strong-wing")
Eden has nicknamed her shield as well - she just calls it Gareth, because she finds her native language quite the mouthful. Gareth, when folded up, looks like an almost too small, five-sided shield slung over Eden's back like a quiver of arrows. Its edges are gold but the center is reinforced silver, with an inlaid amethyst dead-center. When being attacked, Eden can sling Gareth around to the front, and grab a small handhold attached to it. The heat of her palm activates the shield, makes the jewel glow, and four additional, identical plates, minus the amethyst, slide out and lock together, covering the better part of her torso and arm. If you're only viewing one side of Eden, it will look like she's grown a wing on her arm, hence Gareth's name.
The enchantment upon the shield is one that Eden is also unfamiliar with. She knows what it does - activates the additional plates and creates a reinforcement field (around the shield only) that lasts throughout the worst part of her opponent's attack. Eden is just not sure how or when, or even who, placed the spell on Gareth. She's trying to work to find what it is, though, for it's becoming weaker with each fight. (Gareth-alti'ui was passed down through her family - it hung on the wall of her home until her mother took it down and gave it to her before she left. Neither of them knew anything but what it did and how it was used.)
{Accessory Information}
Ssin'urn Ssivah Uriu Naubol Ulu Telanth (pronunciation unknown, or rather, unattempted)(in drow, "beautiful voice has nothing to say")
This is a pendant that reaches slightly below Eden's collarbone, right at her breastbone, and hangs on a slender, but surprisingly strong, silver chain. The completely spherical amethyst that holds its spell is set into a flat-backed, intricate mesh of silver that looks quite like a very miniature spider web. Just as well, the amethyst, almost like a piece of amber, has the tiniest black spider preserved in the center. Sometimes the spider and amethyst will glow brighter, and at these times, Eden seems to be in pain. But it is unsure what brings on the glowing.
When Eden's voice was stolen (explained in background), the old priest gave her the pendant. It returned her voice just enough for her to speak, and she never removes it for fear that she won't be able to do so.
{Physical Description}
Though Eden has the attitude and outlook of the Dark Elf blood on her mother's side, she does quite take after her father, a Drow. Her skin is not as dark, because for all of her life she lived above the ground with her mother - instead of the dark purple, almost black, hue of a Drow's or the dark brown of a Dark's, Eden's skin is a lavender-like purple. Also on the surface of her skin are darker purple markings - one under her eye and one twining itself from her upper ribcage down to her upper thigh. Height is definitely not a problem for Eden - she towers over most other species at a staggering six feet, one inch. As for muscle, she's not so gifted there, but she is thin and lean, contributing to her high sense of balance and physical flexibility. Her snow-white hair, also from her father's Drow blood, is thick and long, but she finds it gets in the way so she usually has it up in an abnormally large bun. She finds this a bit boring, though, and using the fun-loving Dark Elf themed style that her mother taught her of, she put purple feathers up near the top and tied white ones to the hairs around the base of her scalp - these can be mistaken for loose strands of hair but are much softer and much more thin and fine to the touch. Other Drow attributes that Eden possesses are the long ears, the long, thin eyebrows, and the reddish eyes, though hers are more wine-purple than infrared-vision-red (she does possess the ability to see a bit better in the dark, though, just not nearly as well as full Drows). Every point and curve on Eden's body is soft and rounded, the most noticeable being her nose and lips. She doesn't have much in the female-curves area, but enough to make it obvious that she's around the young woman era in the time line of her life. Eden often wears a two-piece lightweight leather armor set, the top with large, bulbous white shoulder pieces and purple feathers bordering her upper arm, and the bottom with white cloth hanging to her ankles in front and back as well as feathers bordering her thighs. The armor has matching boots, with the leather reaching just above her knees and a navy blue-purple stocking-type piece of the boot going up to the higher part of her thigh, just below where the marking on her left side ends. The gloves have this stocking material as well, reach her elbows, and have gauntlet-like outer attachments with large, rounded purple moonstones inlaid on the back of the hand. Last of all, Eden has quite a nice sitting posture, but when she walks you'd guess her two inches shorter than she actually is. She walks with a sense of pride, but you can immediately judge that she's not as selfishly proud as a Drow.
{Background}
H'uena pholor natha draeval...
Thac'zil d'l'Darthien, the Land of the Elves, was a peaceful home for elves of all races. There was loose governing, and the royal family could often be found wandering about like normal townsfolk, and chatting with the commoners. Obviously, it was a safe land, or so that is what many thought. When a new prince was crowned king after the retirement of his father, rumors flew that he was a half-blood. His father had been a Light Elf - so then why was his son's skin as brown as the fall leaves, the color that a Dark Elf would possess? And why was his hair the snow-white of a Drow? Was he even the son of the previous king and queen of Thac'zil d'l'Darthien, those who claimed to be his parents? With so many misunderstandings, new accusations bloomed each day, until one morning dawned dark, as so many elders tell it now. An assassin, with dreams to become loved by his community, all of who hated the new king, killed the so-said mixed elf. All of Thac'zil d'l'Darthien were silent with shock that day, and the day after. But the noise grew, and it grew to screams of death. The wars had begun. The assassin, a Drow himself, was blamed for ill judgments against Light elves - all of the Light elves assumed the assassin killed the late king because he knew, in fact, that he was really a Light elf, as every Light elf believed. Dark elves believed that the king was a Dark elf, and blamed the Drows and assassin for ill judgments against Dark elves. The whole land was in a state of confusion, and soon, each kind of elf blamed the other for racism against mixed elves and elves of the other kinds.
This is where the story of Edensong Yrothalis and her mother comes in. Eden's mother was shunned from her Dark clan for loving a Drow. Their love was true as day, but when Eden became round with their child, her lover was taken prisoner by the very clan that had shunned the mother. He came home when Eden was young, but then was forced by his father to fight in the half-blood wars for the Drow side. Before he left, he ordered his lover and daughter to flee - he knew what was to come would not make their home safe for them. So they hid miles away, putting a camp of Orcs between them and Thac'zil d'l'Darthien. However, the Orcs moved on, and when Eden was older, her mother advised her to leave - she had a feeling that someone would find them eventually, and though she was pure blooded and could get off with the simple, true excuse that she was shunned from her clan, she knew her daughter would be killed. Eden's mother had heard of a school where Eden could hone her skills, and thought that when Eden came back, even if the wars were not over, she could at least defend herself. So she sent her daughter towards Twilight Moon Academy, with sufficient provisions, a dagger, and the shield that had hung on their wall for years. The woman was not aware that her daughter would go through danger of a different kind before reaching her destination.
Eden had almost adjusted to life alone and on the move when one evening she came across a mage's hut. Storm clouds had piled up in the sky and were gaining on her, and she could hear the thunder every once in a while. Eden knew it was going to be a rough night, and after much arguing with herself, she decided to knock on the mage's door. What a mistake that would be...
The mage's robes were white, so at first Eden did not assume that she was in any real danger. He fed her and soon she fell asleep, only to wake to find herself bound to a chair with unbreakable spells.
"Shh," the mage shushed, his robes now black - Eden realized it had just been an illusion spell that made her mistake them for white. "This will be over just momentarily," he almost growled, tapping her on the forehead to put her back to sleep. A warm wave rushed through her and she tried to scream. Just before she slipped off, Eden realized that nothing had come out - her voice was gone.
In the morning, the night's events were fuzzy and she had no real memory of the fact that the mage's deeds were evil. But when she bid the once again white-robed man good morning, her voice was raspy, as if she'd developed an illness. The mage told her what he had done, so openly that it made her too suspicious to say anything. Eden knew it would be a mistake to try and attack him as well, so she just had him explain.
"I need voices," was all he would tell her. "Pretty, pretty voices, my young lass..." He chuckled, and a hot shiver ran down Eden's spine. She didn't ask for further information. "With this you cannot sing. You will have a hard time raising your voice, and it will not be as pretty... pretty... as it was before. Please accept my sincere apologies... and be on your way this morning... do not try to request help against me, for this amulet will not let you." He tapped it once and the spider inside twitched - that was the only time Eden ever saw it move. "Lloth bless you on the last half of your journey, young lass... my, did you have such a pretty voice..."
