haha, ok how's this:<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">  Background: Elena's family was part of the lower classes. Not that she ever complained about that, she always enjoyed her free time, and the childhood activities she partook in. Her parents were normal employee's at an Inn in Lakeshire, a very small business with not very many customers. They always had just enough to get through, and that was enough for them. For Elena however, there was always something more missing. She wanted the chance to thrive in life but financially she was kept from doing that. Her parents expected her to take over at the Inn once they were too old, and she knew it would break both her mother and her father's heart if they found out that her hoped were set much higher than that. So when the time came that Nazhun called upon apprentices, Elena grasped the chance and begged her parents to let her go. As surprised and hurt as they were by her decision, they loved her more than what they had built, and so, with a heavy heart, they released her, seeing that it would make her happy.<br/><br/>Appearance: Although witches are said to have dark gowns and pointy hats, Elena prefers a more individual taste to dress herself. She prefers brighter colours as she is an enthusiastic person. Shades of red are her favourite. She prefers tight fit clothes as she enjoys engaging in physical activities and it makes it easier to move freely. Usually she wears and exotic red top and black shorts with a wrapped sash around her waist, tied into a bow at the back where the ends drop down to her knees. She wears laced gloves that end at her wrists and keep her fingers free, and has several bits of jewellry braided into her hair. Her complexion is probably average, although due to the fact that she spends a lot of her time outdoors she also has a healthy tan. She has one tattoo at the back of her neck going into the bottom of her hairline of a Helix. </blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>
