☬ KEY INFORMATION:
Sankera fi Faladiir is one of the most wealthy people currently alive in the Eastern Kingdoms. While not a key player in large political or geographical conflicts or events, they continue to be intrigued by all the different sides and what they have to offer them. After a long absence caused by a calamitous heartbreak, they've returned to an invigorated new Eastern Kingdoms. With their inner peace restored they're once again making connections with the notable peoples of the realm, taking up commissions to improve villages to towns, restore armories for militias, and even returning life to their Shipyard in Storm's Landing once more.
While many people are worried about the threats the realm faces, they instead continue to once again seek joy in the world and spread it too. What purpose does life serve if not to enjoy it?

☬ PHYSIOLOGY:
Sankera stands taller than most common folk, even quite tall for a Forest Elf. Ever since their youth they saw it as a sign they were meant to rise above the others. Perhaps back then a bit of a teenage ego trip, but for better or worse, here they now stand indeed elevated above most of the common folk of the realm. Without the aid of the arcane or the divine, they've achieved pure natural beauty. Immaculate self-care and the best products this world has to offer is only the best one such as themselves will use. While they do train, it's more of an athlete's training as opposed to a fighter's way. Their general shape edging the fine line between a ballet dancer and a swimmer.
BUILD
Hair: Dark brown hair flows down to their knees. Nowadays it's usually worn in a single decorated ponytail, but they sometimes still go back to their classic look of covering one eye with a well-placed lock.
Eyes: Light blue, the colour of a brilliant topaz.
Skin: Tanned and pure, due to their extensive personal care the skin looks as good as it could possibly be(without arcane/divine help).
Identifying Marks: The knee-long hair and expensive clothes usually draw people in.
Scars: They have three scars, one running down their chest, the second on the inside of their left thigh, and a third being a series of scratch wounds on their back from a Wendigo attack.
☬ PERSONALITY:
Raised in the groves around the ancient sisterhood temple, Sank was primed to be a regular arrow and bow-wielding wood elf. Yet something in them longed for more... Now decades after leaving their grove, hell even the Northern Kingdoms, behind, many of their dreams and ambitions have become reality. But financial success isn't the end all in life is there, so often they've reached out to others in the desire for love and familial bonds, yet in the end, it always seems to have ended in misery.
RELIGION
While Sankera does acknowledge the gods and fears their power, they don't see them as worthy of respect due to their constant infighting and seeming lack to protect the realms. Their struggles have more often than not been the root cause for the many crises Altera has faced. Instead, their respect and awe goes towards the Royal Elementals that make up the world. The raw power Shoreless displayed in the past, to eradicate the corruption brought forth by the gods, and the subsequent quenching of the undead hordes of Skraag, has placed her in the highest echelon of worship.
Concurrent with their stance on the divine, Sankera sees the arcane as something that sullies the soul and goes against natural law. Despite this belief though, they are more than accepting of people who embrace this stain upon their selves, acknowledging the potential that these individuals have in shaping the world around them. Rather to have a mage ally who can perform miracles than a dozen pristine mortals who can't begin to replicate the act in the slightest. Bodily autonomy is a right and mortals can choose for themselves, but they still believe that denouncing the alteration of the natural self makes them better.
Qualities & Flaws:
༒ Charismatic Ill intent is never present in their company, while one might assume that a socialite like them is only in it for their own gain, Sankera wishes for nothing more than a peaceful world for everyone. And this desire seeps through their every interaction.
༒ Elegant The life of luxury and all the finer things in the realm tend to rub off on oneself after decades of living it. There are nobles and wealthy individuals out there, but no one can truly touch this Elf's uniqueness.
༒ Philanthropic While Sankera is blessed to have access to nearly every material desire they could ever have, they know this world is far from being equal and fair to all mortals. Thus they believe it's their personal responsibility to take care of those less fortunate around them and make Altera a better place.
༒ Sentimental/Remorseful Elven age, being both a blessing and a curse. Having lived a long and eventful life, Sankera has become compulsive in their desire to preserve and venerate relics of the past. While history is often displayed in museums, all the sentimental memories, artifacts of lost kingdoms, and items of power lie deep beneath their estate in the massive vault, buried beneath gold and regrets.
༒ Serene/Unhurried Living in the lap of luxury has mellowed them tremendously, who needs to fight or argue when you've got every physical thing one could ever desire? This has led them to usually assume stranger bear no vile intentions and acts as if most people are unknowing children, even if they far outclass them in certain areas of expertise. It also means that without an external pro-active factor not a lot tends to happen in their life.
Abilities & Skills:༒ Tailoring/Sewing Once a hobby of their mother passed on to them. But where she did it for fun or merely to patch up old clothes, he continued perfecting the craft. For the better half of the last century, he has made nearly every imaginable garment for either themself or another. Nowadays with their nearly infinite wealth, anything is possible at the tips of their fingers.
༒ Architectural Design Ever since their relationship with Visenya Senatoor in the now lost jungle village of Aellyrdale, they got dragged into the crazy life of politics, trade, city planning, and architecture. Due to her dying wish, they were propelled into a life of luxury and taking care of a large trade port. There they continued her original career as city warden and planner, and as they continued this practice they got more and more skilled, slowly leading him to his current expertise.
༒ Piano: Having about four pianos strewn about their estate and seas of time to practice, they've mastered the art that is playing the piano.
༒ Culinary arts Although one would expect someone of their status to have an army of chefs and cooks at their disposal, Sankera still has a deep-rooted love for the culinary arts. With access to nearly every ingredient, one could think of, no dish is out of their reach.
Languages:༒ Elven Their Mother tongue, taught to him at birth.
༒ Common The language that any respectable member of society ought to know.
༒ Fae Language of the Caparii, taught to them by the Champion of Vermella.
༒ Lavo During their time serving the Lavoye courts and being in close contact with Lé Havre while running the Quays, one easily picks up the fantasy french
༒ Old Arcturian One of the most ancient languages Alterans know, taught to them by select members of the upper echelon of the Lavoye courts.

Where others live their lives in pursuit of knowledge for knowledge's sake, honor, divine grace, knighthood, or any such frivolity, Sankera wants what they all claim they want as well. A better Altera for all, though what that means for someone like them is quite nebulous and might not necessarily be what others believe to be right.
Drive and Motivation: Affluence and Bliss
Philosophy: "Pleasure and the absence of pain are what we should all strive for. We have a duty to ourselves, others, and the natural world to treat it with respect, and no "higher" power to direct us otherwise."
Short Term:
༒ Regain their will and center their emotions {Achieved}

༒ Form a pact with Shoreless Gulf
༒ Make the Eastern Kingdoms a better place for all
