</strong>Dark Brown<br/><strong>Eyes: </strong>Green<br/><strong>Height: </strong>4'8"<br/><strong>Weight: </strong>75lbs<br/><strong>Age (Actual/apparent): </strong>237 / 20<br/><strong>Distinguishing Features: </strong>Kirien is a slight woman, even for an elf.  Her face seems to have an appearance of eternal youthfulness, although this can be offset somewhat by what comes out of her mouth.  She wears very delicate, thin deerskin gloves on her hands, to cover up a fair number of ugly scars she received when she botched an experimentation with a<em>burning hands</em>spell.  She almost expects comments on her eyes, after over two hundred years of life, but she's a fairly humble person about the rest of her features, which she considers modest.  She tends to wear dresses--ones she's crafted herself--most of the time, but when she's traveling she wears a tunic, breeches, and low boots, typically in various shades of green, brown, and blue.  She almost always wears a cloak, as her empathic and telepathic connection to Teria gives her sympathetic feelings of being cold, too.  She's never without a unicorn horn symbol of Ehlonna on a golden chain around her neck, and another on a charm bracelet around her left wrist.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><strong>Personality: </strong></span>That particular combination of smart and wise, which is rare even for elves, though she has a sharp tongue at times, as she doesn't suffer fools.  As an initiate Spellmaiden of the Inner Circle of Ehlonna back in the capital of the elven Vesve Kingdom, she was sheltered and educated to an almost ridiculous degreee, but at least she's aware of some of her lack of experience with the outside world, and tends to be rather humble.  Kirien is wholly dedicated to her goddess and her people, and while she is much more cosmopolitan than many sheltered elves who never leave their realm, she won't brook disparaging speech about her kind.  Other than that, she is a warm and welcoming person, particularly to animals.  She usually opts to hang back and observe before commenting on anything.  The bond she shares with her pseudo-dragon familiar Teria is deep and close, more like a mother to a child than a friend or sibling.  Like many elves, she is fascinated by magic, but due to her study of both divine and arcane magic, she really has an abiding interest in the history of magic, as well as history in general.  More of a bookworm than a go-getter, Kirien knows her physical limitations, but keeps herself in as good a physical condition as her studies and work permits.<br/><br/>Teria is Kirien’s pseudo-dragon familiar, and an exceptionally brilliant one at that.  She spends most of her time within Kirien’s cape or clothing, but pops out now and then to take in the surroundings.  Her hearing is quite good, and will often interrupt conversations she has been listening to while hidden within Kirien’s cape, interjecting telepathic comments.  She is naturally curious, but is also quite cautious, often entreating Kirien to be more careful.  One could go so far as to say she's cowardly, but even a mention of this will wound her dragonish sensibilities.  The truth is, she's been as sheltered as Kirien, has never been in a combat, and is absolutely terrified of fighting in any way.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><strong>Backstory/History: </strong></span>Kirien was identified by her parents as gifted with magic at a very young age, as well as perceptive--an old soul if there ever was one.  She was quickly brought to the attention of a dedicated Spellmaiden who was a friend of her mother's sister, and her education was geared towards such a task.  She was an inquisitive child, and even more than most elves showed a fascination and hunger to know about magic.  This precociousness extended into other fields as well, particularly botany, animal husbandry, and history--not just of her people, but of the world in general.<br/><br/>Through her childhood and adolescence, she continued to throw herself into her studies, spending little time with others her age, which had both positive and negative side effects.  She works quite well with others, particularly those who would be considered her elders, and can take a leadership role fairly well, but actually prefers to work alone or in small groups, where she can focus on doing things her way.  She isn't quite an iconoclast, but she does like to be her own guiding light.  Romantically, though, she's almost a beginner, and still a virgin...which, for an elf at 237 is quite a remarkable feat.  Surprisingly, she's also a very sexual being, and seems to be able to become aroused at the smallest actions that to others might seem innocuous.<br/><br/>When she was taken in as an initiate Spellmaiden, she was excited, but not as much as she'd expected, after so many years of preparation.  Some of her superiors noticed this, and, while they did not wish to disappoint her parents--who by now had great hopes for her politically and socially--they could see that she was not really the sort of personality who would become an asset to the temple.  Surprisingly for her, she was sent on an assignment to the distant Gnarley Forest, to become a village's live-in healer and apothecarist.  When she arrived, she found the village was a multiethnic mix of elves, half-elves, humans, and halflings, which was precisely what she needed...which was why her understanding superiors had directed her there in the first place.<br/><br/>She's spent the last five years there, happily assisting the good folk of the village and the countryside.  It was while there that she found that even this blissful life was not long for keeping her happy, and she began to make forays outside the village; then forest, frequenting roadside taverns and inns for gossip and personal interaction.  It was in this way that she became acquainted with her friends in the party, although so far they've only talked of adventuring, and not actually done anything adventurous beyond accompanying some down-on-their-luck merchants a score of miles as caravan guards to the nearest small town, and encountered no troubles.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><strong>Secondary Skills (no more than a few): </strong></span>Seamstress, flute player, singer.  Kirien is a fairly good tailor, often sewing her own dresses and other gear.  She's also an accomplished flautist, and every Spellmaiden is required to sing their votives and devotional prayers every day, so she's honed her skills quite well with her voice.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><strong>Sexual ons/offs, sexual interests, and miscellaneous sexual details: </strong></span>See player ons/offs.  Aside from her own exploration of her own body, Kirien is devoid of most sexual discoveries even young human adults will have attained.  Partly to blame because of her bookishness, and partly because of her seclusion in the Vesve, Kirien is almost bursting to discover romance and sex, regardless of the gender or race of her possible partners.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><strong>Spellbook: </strong></span><br/>1st Level: detect magic, write, erase, identify, light, magic missile, read magic, wizard mark, burning hands, shield, armor.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><strong>Weapons/Armor/Important and Personal Gear: </strong></span><br/>ironwood staff, carved with holy symbols of Ehlonna and her own name, as well as sigils of the Spellmaidens of the Inner Circle<br/>composite elven shortbow<br/>hip quiver with twelve arrows<br/>3 holy symbols of Ehlonna, one on a necklace, one on a charm bracelet, and one stowed

both of them moved to the village within weeks of one another.  While the people of the village are quite accepting, both of the women had different reasons for not making friends as quickly as other people might.  Once they got past their respective standoffishness, Kirien has become quite good friends with the young ranger.<br/><br/><strong>Yesqwyn Haht</strong>-- Her friend from Greyhawk is a practitioner of the same divine and arcane arts, though having come to them from a much different background.  In a lot of ways she's awed by the open and bring-it-on attitude Yesqwyn has.  Kirien has even been somewhat influenced in her tailoring of new dresses by Yesqwyn's own bold style of dress...though not too much yet.<br/><br/><strong>Pansy Applebottom</strong>--<br/><br/><strong>Melan Strongsteel</strong>--<br/><br/><strong>Enastril Rixxle</strong>-- Met him while studying in Olve Minrith, and since then she's kept up a friendly correspondence with him for over two decades.  She knows of his difficulties with his parents as far as their attempting to set him up for marriage, and he recently came to visit her while he was in Greyhawk to discuss the problem.<br/><br/><strong>Eferhild</strong>--<br/><br/>
