[eclypse]

Name: Corinne Torianna
Race: Wild Elf
Age (approx.): Appears to be around 24, however is over 300 years old.
Gender: Female
Height: 5'7
Weight: 180

Physical Description: Corinne was born to live in the wild and is built with endurance. Her arms and legs are toned from her time spent traversing the Arundil Mountains around Nalantha (her home village). Corrine has warm, amber eyes that sometimes spark gold when a severe emotion takes over her. Her skin is tanned from the immense amount of time spent outdoors. She has long golden hair, highlighted naturally by the sun and typically adorned with feathers.

Corinne has an intricate tattoo on her right arm that was given to her by the elders when she completed her Druidic studies. Another, on the back of her right hand has a sun surrounded by an intriciate diamond shape which she drew herself as a symbol of her adulthood.

Her clothing is generally dark in colors (typically dark greens and browns), which help her to blend in with the forest surroundings.

Personality: She tends to be silent upon first meeting her and to men she is generally cold. Her heart has been broken before and she intends for it never to happen again. She is quite a passionate person and her first love is to nature, however, if a man should get past her icy exterior and win her heart she would be his forever.

Specialties: Born in the woods she has an uncanny ability to walk in absolute silence. Stealth is her ally. Corinne is a skilled Druid and also a skilled fighter. She learned to fight early on with no weapons and later trained herself with the longsword.

Pets: Draikem (small red dragon familier).

Background: The child of Malinae and Faran Torianna, Corinne grew up in Nalantha learning the druidic lore all her life. Living in the trees and the wild gave her a curiousity as a child that landed her in trouble many times. However, her punishments tought her paitience, and made her a stronger person.

Corinne lived with the Druid Elders for a century or so upon reaching adulthood. There she learned the druidic arts and lore as well as how to best many in unarmed combat. During her trials before she completed her druid training she gained a familier, a small, red-orange dragon, whom she named Draikem.

When she was released from the Elder's watchful eyes, Corinne decided that even though she could hold her own in a battle unarmed she was still vulnerable and so she tought herself how to wield the longsword using an inexpensive sword purchased from someone in town.

Corinne has had one love, Marlow Hindael...who had once been the local blacksmith in town. When Marlow learned of Corinne's new skills in the longsword he decided to suprise her and create a weapon of pure art and skill (see the sword in the pic).

Corinne had been engaged to Marlow when a fire started in his smithy causing the building to burn...with Marlow inside it. Corinne's heart was crushed as her dreams burned down with the smithy. Since that day her sword is never far from her side, her only link to her only love.

10 years after the death of Marlow, Corinne lost her mother to an illness she had battled for over a century. Her body finally succumbed to it and she slipped from this world. Her father, in his grief for his beloved wife, wasted away and followed her to the beyond shortly after. Since that day Corinne guards her heart very fiercely...rarely showing true emotion to the world.

Background:
Chianna Sindoin grew up deep in the Underdark. Third daughter to a lesser family, she was left on her own more often than not. This fostered in her a sense of abandonment and independence. Her father, Nerath, took pity on his youngest daughter and taught her the art of the rapier, hoping it would be of some use to her for he saw a great potential in her (that and he had yet to bare a son with Matron Sindoin). It was a lone sorcerer named Mordakai who taught her the ways of the shadows, and she learned quickly…knowing it would allow her to be closer to her siblings, with them having no awareness of her presence; furthering a plan to fulfill her own secret ambitions. She longed for the power and prestige her other sisters were born to and were pushed to achieve, while she was left on the wayside.

Her plans came to fruition on a surface raid. There she made an attack on the middle sister, Liriana, and thinking her dead, returned to the Sindoin Mansion after the raid to report to Matron Sindoin about the death. Little did she know however, that Liriana had survived the well thought out plan although barely. The confrontation ended in Chianna being disowned from the Sindoin name and banished from the Matron’s sight for the attempted, and botched, murder of her older sibling. Having no House to turn to, Chianna fled the city with her father’s aid. She had her magic and her rapier, and she had always been a loner; she had perceived it would be no different. The world, however, was ready to prove her wrong.

Once she had made her way to the surface, she decided that in order to leave her heritage behind her, she had to leave her name as well. She adopted the name Eclipse and never gave a surname. She found that life on the surface was hard for someone of her race. The realization came to her that the way of the Drow society was unbalanced, harsh (even compared to the roughest cities above ground), and destructive.

During her first year on the surface, in a tavern called the Sleeping Serpent, Eclipse was forced to show her shadow masteries during a brawl. Afterwards, on the return to her hidden resting niche, she was approached by a group of renegade mages, each an outcast in their own right. They gave her the nickname of Lady of Night (Jallil d’ Isto), and invited her as one of their numbers. When she parted ways with them years later they made sure she was aware that she had a place with them for life and would forever have their aid if needed. They gifted her with the ring as a sign of that bond.

Personality:
Eclypse is a woman torn by emotions. While trying to adapt to the ways of the surface, her Drow instincts and the teachings of the Underdark still have a powerful sway over her. She is overly independent but secretly longs for the circle of family or close ties she has never had with the exception of the renegade mages.

Around strangers Eclypse is typically cold, cynical, and sometimes even cruel. She hides within a cloud of shadows until she can read the intentions of those around her. It is hard for her to make friends, as her ingrained suspicious nature doesn’t tend to lend towards trust. Once her trust is gained, however, she makes a loyal and steadfast friend.
Loyalty, while not a typical Drow trait, comes easy to her now after 4 years on the surface.
