Four hundred years
Race:
Elf
Occupation:
Recluse; Forest guardian
Allegiance:
Du Weldenvarden
Physical Description:
The elven House of Seòras is said to have intermarried with the human nomads of the Hadarac Desert a thousand years ago. Though Honovi dismisses being part human as pure rumour, there is no doubt that exotic blood runs through her veins. Her natural colouring is unlike most of elvenkind- rather than ivory, her skin is a dusky shade of copper. Her hair is not black or white, but is chocolate brown streaked with caramel. Rather than being straight, it hangs naturally in tight, soft curls around Honovi’s face, just barely reaching her shoulders in length. Her features are more typical of a nomad than an elf, as well- she has round cheeks, prominent cheekbones, and very full lips. She has a long, symmetrical face that would be very pretty if it wasn’t usually streaked with dirt and poultices. She has a wide, straight nose that is just a fraction too long in the bridge, a high, arched forehead, and a small chin. Honovi’s knife-shaped ears and striking eyes are her most clearly elven traits. Framed by thin, upswept eyebrows and thick eyelashes, her eyes are pale green and reflect the deep intelligence of the elves.
Honovi wears various pigments on her face and often magically changes her body, but never for aesthetic purposes. She pays careful attention to her physical appearance to maintain total invisibility. She wears only animal skins, usually some form of short-haired hide, and never proper woven clothing. These skins are usually tight and cut short to allow for easy movement, and would be considered racy if she ever wandered into town. Winter is the only time that Honovi can be seen fully clothed in an array of heavy furs. However, this is only how she appears while travelling- when she is hunting or tracking a lead, Honovi will physically change herself to take on animal features, and will sing herself into part of a tree on occasion. She can become part of the forest itself if she so chooses. Honovi stands about three inches under six feet, and carries that difficult balance between muscle and agility that is common of elves. Her upper body is very strong, and she has slender hips and breasts of average size.
Honovi makes all of her weapons herself, and they are sized and shaped to her personal preference. She has crafted a longbow made of yew primarily for hunting, and her arrows are fletched with hawk or eagle feathers and have heads of cut stone or animal bone. Honovi has a particular disliking for anything metal and refuses to use any that she comes across. She has one machete-sized dagger made from a wild dragon’s fang, and several other knives made of sharpened bones for various purposes. She will occasionally dip her arrows and daggers in poison. Honovi has little armour other than her hide skins, so she prefers to launch an offensive from long distances or when hidden in the brush.
