Original backstory:
Elfa was raised in her father's workshop where he tinkered with an array of different materials, making whatever his mind could conjure up. Like him, he wanted his only daughter to be a tinkerer; knowing she'd be his only one after his wife died shortly after childbirth. As she grew older and her interest grew in his projects, he began letting her help. It was minor stuff at first; hammering in a nail (which resorted in many sore thumbs), handing him tools, throwing charcoal into the furnace. However, his Little Tinkerer was very happy doing even this calibre of work.

As she grew older, he taught her a bit of carpentry, and then smithing. Being specialized in neither, the quality of course was functional, but not any work of art. She was a quick learner, however, and was soon producing an array of functional devices with a practical purpose. Her first was a cup holder designed to fit a mug that would fold up flush against the table. The oversight, of course, is that people who are drinking are not going to be able to line up the mug with the cup holder, something that was soon pointed out by her father.

At her thirteenth birthday, she began drinking. It was only a little at first, and nothing too strong, but her father felt that he should temper her for life ahead. He began one evening by replacing her usual water with an alcoholic beverage, to her surprise. She swallowed the first sip, but looked to him in shock* "Father, I think you mixed up our drinks."

"No no, you're thirteen now. You should be able to drink like any other woman."

She accepted this answer, but drank slowly. However, she soon began tipsy, telling horrible jokes and laughing, her cheeks flushed. Over time, she would build up a tolerance and a taste for what she liked. She made many other inventions, and improved on the cup holder until even drunk, she could put her mug in it. She was not always drunk, but did not resist a drink when her father offered it to her. At sixteen, she began feeling a bit bored around the workshop. She still loved working with her father, making this and repairing that, but she also wanted to explore; talk to people, maybe open a workshop of her own. So, she packed up her things, and set out, telling her father goodbye. He let her go, seeing to it she was armed to his satisfaction, and saw her off. Over the next few years, she traveled from tavern to tavern, meeting people, making friends, having flings, and generally enjoying herself. However, she never found exactly what she was looking for in the small villages and random roadside taverns, so she decided to try big, headed toward the main cities.

Updated to fix spacing and added char theme. Enjoy!

EDIT: Relations Tree

RELATIONS:
Loves:

@Ddaug02 (Habin -- old love) (Deceased) -- He gave her the first real home she ever stayed in, and they even had a short fling.​
@Exclaimer (Therry -- Lovely Wife -- Therr-Bear) (Deceased) --When she met Therry, they quickly became great friends. This love slowly grew into a love which allowed them to become married.​
@solusrequiem (Ashna - as a sister) -- They'd met in the Crossroads, and over time, became very close. When Elfa lost Therry the first time, Ashna was there to help her, and for that, she has her thanks.​
@Lady Alec (Nireth - As a sister) -- They both rely on each other for support, and have grown very close because of it. Nireth often describes Elfa as "the only one left she can trust."​

Most Trusted:
@BrianAT16 (Morna) -- Morna's story is what took Elfa the most. She was kidnapped as a young child and raised to be a murderer and fiend. Having that past precede her, Morna's name was met with fear and hatred. But Elfa refused to see her in that light, instead offering her friendship and kindness. She has since been able to teach Morna about the Law of Red, and Morna has followed it, making a new life for herself.​
@Exclaimer (Therry)
@Lady Alec (Nireth Alec) -- One of her first friends, she met Nireth in Thiil after wandering there one day. Through time, she became one of her best friends, and one of their favorite things to do together is picknick together on a sunny day.​
@Somnastra (Som) -- Som was one of the first people Elfa had met upon her arrival, and took a liking to her almost immediately. She looked up to her because of her being a Ranger, and she even helped find Elfa a home in the Sorrows. After Therry's death, Som took pity on her, and offered a place in Theloa, in which Elfa stayed until she had recovered emotionally and Therry returned. Som is also a godparent of Dylan Hansdotter.​
@gaby (Salheira Rain-river) -- Her fellow Housekeeper and one of her best friends, she looks to Sal for anything regarding Vermella, and often uses her as an anchor. Sal is also a godparent of Dylan Hansdotter.​
Trusted:
@mucusBONES (Melody, Deceased) -- She was one of the other people Elfa had looked up to upon arriving in the Northern Kingdoms. She taught her many things, and opened her home to Elfa.​
@Tybalt (Tybalt) -- The King of House Marr and a good friend. He offered her shelter initially after Therry's death.​
@Sovenas Ark (Maplehoof) -- A female Caparii that Elfa has become good friends with. She enjoys spending time with her and she is quickly growing to be one of Elfa's best friends.​
@Deash12 (Dayter) -- The husband of Somnastra, Elfa looks to him as a role model and friend. He is the third godparent of Dylan Hansdotter.​
@ForestRose (Eyota) -- Eyota was the lover of Sal for a time. Elfa has not seen her for quite some time and is beginning to wonder if she suffered the same fate as Sal's last lover.​
@Zombie3255 (Dunamis, unknown) -- Like Morna, Elfa approached Dunamis out of kindness. Having seen others be rude to her just on principle, Elfa reached out to show her kindness, and they became fast friends. However, Dunamis has disappeared, and Elfa is worried about her.​
Befriended:
@TurtlePrada (Mhaegan) (Deceased) -- Mhaegan was a woman Elfa had met who had fallen on hard times. She offered her a home, which she gladly took, and they soon became good friends. Recently, she has disappeared, and Elfa is worried for her.​
@Logan07 (Merry) -- The adopted Halfling son of Nireth, Elfa has become good friends with him.​
@Ouderless Block (Duncan) (Deceased) -- Elfa was unsure of what to think of Duncan at first. There were times when she hated him and times when she wanted nobody else. But, she never held a romantic interest in him. He seemed to look up to her, and she was sad to hear he had passed.​
@MageProtocol (Luna) -- Tybalt's daughter, and a smart girl despite her age. Elfa looks forward to seeing how she grows.​
@Sir_Ashington (Alanna) -- Tybalt's sister and the Queen of House Marr, she was introduced to Elfa by Tybalt in the tavern in Azerport. Elfa sees her as a girl with a lot of potential and having a strong head on her shoulders.​
@Monster_Dan (Mila) -- A good friend of Elfa who has seen plenty of hardship.​
@gaby (Dahlia Frost-Rose) -- Sal's mother. They met in the Crossroads. Comparing them, she realized that Sal still is a bit childish.​
@Michcat (Sophie) -- She has seen her around before, but not until the 6th Blood Moon did she ever get to speak with her. She sees her as a fair woman, and not one to hold any debt for long. She granted her free use of her home in the time being, which Sophie was immensely grateful for.​
@Lannis (Aewin) -- Elfa isn't sure of his relation with Sophie, save that they are obviously romantic partners. But, marriage or not, a friend of Sophie's is a friend of Elfa, especially when their relationship reminds her so much of her's and Therry's.​
Liked:
@Hothhorn (Vilvin)
Neutral:
@Bob_the_BuilderPet (Andromada) (deceased)
Unsure of:
@ACU20 (Robert Senatoor)
@Estes241 (Laerornor/Corpse Eater/The Grey) -- Witnissed him attack Ashna for no reason other than to cause a scene, causing injury she would've died from had not been there. In part, Elfa feels responsible for not stepping in to stop him, but she was so overtaken with fear. Some time later, he had brought her to his home (without her knowing) and began telling her negative things about Ashna, which she refused to believe. Once she realized who it was, she fled, and he chased after her. She is still unsure of what his motives were, but it took Ashna to stop him. She fears for Ashna because Laerornor seems to listen to her, but she believes there is a price to pay for that. As a Vermellan, she no longer holds a desire to strike him down, but she would still love to see him removed, however that may be -- she wants Ashna away from him, specifically. Over time, she has learned to trust this man a bit more. She is no longer afraid of him, and understands him a bit better. He's still a big mystery to her, but they're getting along.​
@IceandFire (Athryl)
Wary of:
@Scardrac (Scardrac)
Afraid of:

Disliked:

Hated:
@ACU20 (Robert Senatoor)
@Woolsey (Moon)
Aldred -- This is the man who murdered Vermella in cold blood. Elfa holds a hatred for this man matched by no other. She is glad he is dead and hopes he is judged fairly and punished harshly.

Wow, lots to read with this updated character sheet! Nicely written profile.

Birth date: Is someone more familiar with the date/time system on this server that would like to do this for me?
Here's a link to the Alteran Calendar thread:
http://worldofaltera.co.uk/threads/alteran-calendar.21072/

Reading over this, it tells you everything you need to know to determine a birthdate for your character. You can use /date to see the current date IG and then work from there!

Aww, but Alfheim was great. And now they're putting on Gun Gale. It's going to be great!
Alfheim was fantastic. But the fridge trope and incestuous implications kinda... overpowered it. :( For me, at least.

Dunno if I'm gonna watch Gun Gale.
