As he doesn't know he is a half-elf I would guess he grew up with his human parent? Where was he raised? The main Wood Elf population lives in the Forest of Mirrors, but the human settlements around that forest are fairly small, and not all that civilized. Another elven forest is the Evergreen Woods, but that is in Kanon - and Kanon has been occupied by Marmo for a few years now. Maybe Donwik had to flee Kanon when the war came, maybe was orphaned by the war and that's why he doesn't know about his true heritage?<br/><br/>Lynna - Same question as for Donwik: Where is Lynna from? Forest of Mirrors, or rather the Evergreen Woods? The occupation by Marmo of the latter could certainly be reason enough for an elf to leave her home and pick up arms. You also mentioned that Lynna's coin comes from a recent job. Is she a mercenary? If she is, how does she feel working for humans, whom she might well consider her inferiors? How does she feel about humans in general? Wood Elves may not be as aloof as High Elves, but I'd imagine they are still a proud people and perhaps believing they are better than humans.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>I like the idea that she's from Evergreen Woods and had to run when it got occupied because she just wasn't strong enough yet.  Or maybe she just wasn't there.  More likely some combination of the two, but either way, she's not strong enough to take it back in her current state.<br/><br/>Mercenary work isn't the only thing she does, but it's not uncommon for her.  As far as working for humans, coin is coin.  Strong people work for weak people all the time, and same with smart people working for stupid people.  If they hire her on and treat her well, it's more a compliment and recognition to her skills.
