At birth the princess of the elves had been cursed by the most black hearted of witches-<br/>Baba Yaga herself.<br/><br/>The evil crone had forged pacts with the darkest devils of lust to ruin the young princesses life.<br/><br/>Legend has it that the curse said<br/>"Raising a blade against man or beast, will set its heart ablaze with lust-"<br/><br/>As a princess of the elven kindgdom many wizards had tried to lift it but their mystical arts were no match for the black sorceries of the dark witch queen.  All they managed to do was soften the curse a little-<br/><br/>"Once the enemy has spilled its seed then lust will be replaced by love."<br/><br/>Poor Rowenna, as a princess of the elven people she would have been duty bound to raise a symbolic blade against all the enemies of the kingdom- the lust wars that resulted would have destroyed the elves completely- so to save their daughter and their people the king and queen simply placed her with a foster family and Rowenna grew up there.<br/><br/>By the time she was 20, she was the talk of the settlement.  She had the striking blue hair and eyes of the royal family- a rare trait indeed.  She was proud of it and grew it long, then bound it into a single plait that hung down her back to her waist.<br/><br/>Her body was strong, supple and slender like all the elves- with the magnificent curves of a true beauty.<br/><br/>She was strong willed too and on her 21st birthday- the day the curse came into full effect and the day of her adulthood ceremony- she took up the sword, shield and bow of the adventuress.  She would live life to the full or not at all!  She had been fed up with her protected existence and had always known that she was destined for a life of adventure.<br/><br/>She left under the cover of darkness- knowing full well that her parents would try to stop her going-<br/>armed only with a bow, sword and dagger and wearing only simple forest garb, she headed off into the wilderness to face some of the most deadly enemies of the elven people.<br/><br/>Her plan was to return with treasure and prove to everyone that she could take care of herself!!!
