Approved WT bio for Elwyn [Band Stamp]

[Lavinya]

Name: Elwyn Avery Straton

 

Email: DreamInteriors@gmail.com

 

Division: White Tower

 

Physical Description: Elwyn is of an average height and a tad plump, Though it barely offsets her good looks. She has long raven hair that falls in waves below her waist and kiwi green eyes. Her skin is olive in tone and smooth as silk. A pale scar crosses her chest at an angle only visible when her dress is cut in an almost improper fashion. Being from Arad Doman that is not uncommon for her.

 

Age:19

 

Background: The cold wind swirled her cloak and ripped it from her grip. Her pale eyes teared with frustration. This winter was as mild as any in recent memory and still young Elwyn stood shivering cowering behind her horse. She was so far from home with a long way yet to go. How had she fallen so far?

 

Elwyn was born into a very powerful house with estates in Bandar Eban as well as in the country surrounding. She was raised with every luxury never wanting for a thing. And then the worst had happened. Her father had been denoted a darkfriend. They stripped him of his titles and estates then hung him along with the rest of Elywn's family. She had escaped this fate because she had been hawking in the country side with 12 retainers. Those 12 had to fight to get her back out of the city once discovering her fathers fate. Now she was alone traveling the country side with little coin and nothing but the clothes on her back.

 

Over the wind and her tear Elwyn heard faint music and laughter. Wrapping her horses reins loosely around a low branch Elwyn tip toed as quietly as an city girl knew how. Despite her skirts she hardly made a sound. What she saw when the trees gave way to a clearing was enough to make her laugh.

 

Quietly Elwyn stepped into the clearing and the laughter stopped. A robust man stepped forward clothed in blue and green striped pants and a yellow coat brighter than the sun. He pressed both hands to his chest and bowed. " You are welcome to our fires, Do you know the song?" Elwyn tried to recall what she learned of Tinkers. Taking a chance she bowed the same way, and spoke in a clear voice. "Your welcome warms my spirit, Mahdi, as your fires warm the flesh, but I do not know the song." The large man seemed pleased that she knew the proper greet. With a chuckle he finished the ceremonial greeting. "Then we seek still, as it was so it shall be, if we but remember, seek and find." Even as he finished two young boys rushed to recover her horse and a women large enough to rival her husband ushered Elwyn to the fire.

 

" Be welcome to our fires! I be Enid and my husband Averm"

 

Elwyn spent the next month traveling with the Tinkers, and became engrossed in their ways. After the horror of her families death the simple nature enthralled her.

 

One eve as they ate the Shining towers gleamed in the distance, and Elwyn seemed pulled to the city. With reluctance she said her goodbyes, and headed for the island. She had been once before as a small child but the beauty was enough to take anyone's breath away. Before long she ended up at the gates of the tower, her heart in the throat. There seemed no turning back now.

Does the WT take initiates who are 19? For some reason my goldfish memory is telling me that the oldest is 18...

 

not a big deal, CC'ed once that's confirmed.
