Upon first glance most would not recognize the girl as a half breed, especially not half-blood Elvian. After all most Elvians tend to stay tucked off away in the forest. But she certainly is a half-blood and is certainly not in the forest. She has the heterochromia eyes to prove it. Ebony’s left eye is a dust hazel color that sometimes looks almost gold or green in the right light, her right eye is a vivid and bright violet. This comes from her mystic blood, which she tries to keep under wraps. Dark brown hair is what frames her face. It falls down her back very straightly, and ends just above her middle back. Her bangs, which she purposefully keeps shorter than the rest of her hair, hang off to the right covering her violet eye, shielding it from most of the world or at least trying to. She actually has a scar just under her right eye from a knife, a wound which never really healed properly and is now and jagged line against her slightly more tan skin. She does not have the pointed ears of an Elvian - much to her thanks - however, her skin is dotted with lights spots starting on both of her shoulder and running down along her upper back, wrapping around her neck an the very front of her chest. Because of this the girl is always seen wearing a scarf, normally a light or pale teal one. She has a more lithe build due to her excessive travels and the needs to her job, and she certainly isn’t too small standing at five feet six inches (5’6”). Ebony often wears a light shirt with her scarf and some form of cargo pants or long pants. Most normally her clothing is light, except in the winter. She always as a bag with her, and guards it with her life. Along with her bag she carries a knife that's just within reach of her left hands, yes she is left handed.
Personality:
Ebony is a quiet and very observant person. She’s the kind of person that can easily be over looked in a room or in a crowd, in truth she is rather unassuming and is very good at not drawing attention to herself. She hates to be the center of attention or in any sort of limelight. The girl always seems to have this sort of fear or anxiety around her, as though she is worried that people will look at her and see her for what she is, something that doesn’t belong outside of the woods. Despite being quiet she can be quite the charismatic person when she wishes to be, and can certainly act as though she is a good speaker. She is a vary good actor after all.
Ebony is an empathetic soul, who really understands other people and even other creatures. She’s very good at sympathizing and is really a good listener if anyone needs to sit down and just vent. She is kind to her friends, once she makes them that is. At first the girl comes off as cold and untrusting, most likely because she is. Ebony knows that nothing is free in this world and is always on the look out for a loop hole or to make sure that she can duck out of the way of debts, be them physical or even just mental.
However, once she finds someone or a group that she can reply on she is incredibly trusting. The girl also is a dedicated worker, and is quite dependable. She’ll push herself to her limit in order to help others. She’s very weary, but because of that she is quite observant and can pick up on small things. She loves to travel, and has a particular thing for seeing new places. Also, the girl is no longer sensitive; she is use to people whispering behind her back and thus things nothing of it. However, she can be a bit too secretive for some people’s likings and because of that there is often a wall between her and the other person. One that she refuses to go around.

Listening to other conversation, getting information out of people, sneaking around, observing and taking in small details, fighting with a sword or knife, connecting dots and solving puzzles, acting, good listener, good tracker
Distance fighting, fights that involved pure strength, fear of certain types of people, her feeling that she doesn’t belong anywhere can often bog her down and distract her, talking to people, as much as she says what people say doesn’t bother her it does and wears her out piece by piece, opening up to people, untrusting to a rather sad point, not awesome in crowds of people, really sensitive about loosing her mother and other past things in general
Skills and/or weaknesses acquired from companion:
Now that a bit of her soul is with Sjael, she can hear and see everything that the crow can, the same can be said for Sjael with Ebony. With their souls and heart tied together they are more closely connected than most would ever understand, but because they are connected they must also be weary of those who will take advantage of that.
History:
~Birth to Age 7~
Ebony should have been born away in the forest, and should have stayed there through her life, hidden from the world. This did not happen though for her mother, Rain, left the Elvian land without knowledge that she was pregnant. The woman thought of going back there and giving the child to the Elvians, however, as she has told Ebony countless time, something in her kept her routed down and she did not. Thus one fine fall morning in the small and hidden village of Brittle Creek, Ebony came into the world. For the first year of her life, Ebony lived in the small village hidden in the woods. However, her mother was of pure Mystic blood and desperately needed to move around and travel, thus she took Ebony with her.
Ebony grew up on the road and found that if there was on thing she loved, it was traveling. While she always wondered about her father and her past, and why her mother was so protective of her, she never really asked about it. She simply wondered in silence, keeping her thoughts to herself. One thing that she experienced from traveling so much was how much some people hated the Mystics. She didn’t understand what she or her mother for that matter had ever done to these people. This was simply a drop in a pond for judgment she would later experience. And from this she learned why her mother always had her cover up her right eye, her violet eye. At first the girl wore and eye patch, but she didn’t like it. Eventually she learned that her hair was just as useful and less suspicious.
When Ebony was seven her mother realize that it wasn’t good for the girl to travel and experience so much hate for being a halfborn and being a Mystic. Eventually the woman dropped Ebony off with a relative in Ardis. The relative was not nice to her, to say the least. She was forced to work almost immediately and if anything she experienced just as much discrimination as she would have any other way.
~Age 8 to 16~
After working for her relative for about a year she met a rather amazing girl. Araedia was her first, and arguably, only friend. She was the first person, besides her mother, to call both of her eye beautiful, and even taught the girl to read and write. The two became inseparable, and there were many days when Ebony would sneak over to Ari’s house to spend the night because she couldn’t handle another day with her relative. Through Araedia the girl felt like she had a family again, and the two promised to always be together, a foolish promise.
Araedia was there when Ebony got into a huge fight with her relative, and the small girl actually marched across town and gave the guy and piece of her mind. After that he never so much as looked at Ebony, which was more than enough for the girl. Ebony was there for Araedia when her father died and her brother began to drift apart, and was also there when a new figure popped into Araedia’s life, one that the other girl was more than a little unsure about.
All good things must come to an end though, an as much as Ebony loved Araedia, she didn’t so much as care for Ardis, nor could she hold back the need and the feeling to travel. Ebony couldn’t deny her Mystic blood, and after being trapped in the same town for almost nine years, she need to travel and see the world. The goodbye with Araedia was just as painful as she imagined, and not something she had wanted to go through, but the two promised to see each other again, hopefully. And so Ebony went off to face a world that she wasn’t entirely ready for.
~Age 16 to 19~
Ebony traveled around and when it was convenient, she used her mystic blood to earn some money. Maybe not the most accurate or “correct” thing the girl did, but she needed to sustain herself somehow and there was a part of her that always believed in the FateWeaver. She tended to stay away from the Northern Kingdom at first, happy to travel trough the other Kingdoms and visit small villages and the like. She would argue that her traveling days were some of the best of her life. Yes she was met with prejudice and judgment, but the girl forced herself to push past that, as much as it hurt. She didn’t have Araedia to take care of her.
On night, when she was spending her evening in a little bar in some small town of the Eastern Kingdom, her life changed forever. Ever since the girl was little she enjoyed listening to other conversations and trying to learn about them. Two strangers walked into the bar, one hooded, and the other a man with a scar across his face. They were talking in hushed whispers about something and perched themselves in the corner. Curiosity got the best of her and she moved over to a table just beside them. They didn’t seem to notice her. They were speaking softly about some group, though much of it was in code, or so Ebony suspected as some point didn’t quite make sense. She spent the rest of the night, trying to piece together what the strangers were whispering about.
When they left, Ebony trailed them. They didn’t look back once, even though the streets were quiet. She concluded that they must not know she was there. When the vanished down an alleyway, Ebony waited a minuet or two before peeking in. Nothing, they had left. But the moment she stepped into the shadows she was ambushed. They questioned about what she heard and she informed them that she had heard all of the conversation in the bar. The two were impressed; they hadn’t noticed her until she started trailing them. They gave her an option. Join with the Watch Crows and another ear or die because of the information heard. On a whim Ebony joined and was whisked off to their headquarters. Later on she was presented with an egg and once it hatched she blood bonded with the crow, the only type of bond she could preform.
~Later Years~
Ebony’s job kept her busy traveling, so much so that she never had time to keep her promise and see Araedia. The one time she stopped into Ardis she found out the girl had moved some years prior. Now, along with keeping her sources informed about various happenings around Eldemore she also keeps her ears open for any news of a certain glassmaker. At some point over the years she picked up a prong fox, whom she is not bonded to but who acts as a messenger for her.
Name:
Sjael
Nickname(s):
Ebony sometimes call her J
Gender:
Female
Age:
Unknown
Species:
Crow
Type:
Bloodbound Crow
Personality:
Like many crows, Sjael is a smart bird. She is often one that many would call “too smart for her own good.” The crow is quick on her feet, or her wings rather and often seems to be two steps ahead of Ebony when it comes to their job. Sjael has a habit of getting herself into rather sticky situations, though as luck would have it she’s always able to slip out at the last minuet. The bird is observant and seems to have an eye for who to look for and who has information. However, she is untrusting, more so than Ebony, and is incredibly weary of all people, no matter how pure hearted they prove themselves to be. She is protective of Ebony, sometimes to a fault, and is a rather quick-tempered, and jealous type. Sjael always has the best interest of Ebony though, and looks out for the girl as much as the girl looks out for her.
History:
Sjael's whole life has been with Ebony. The crow was hatched by the halfborn and the two made a blood bond at a young age, tying them together. They have gone through a lot together but have always been there for each other and always will.

Asetin and Ebony met completely by accident, Ebony was traveling and camping just outside of the woods, and Asatin was hungry and trying to steal food. After a bit of running around and chasing one another, the night ended with Ebony falling down from laughing so hard - something she rarely does and a big feat - and Asatin eating whatever he pleased as long as he left enough for Ebony. Since then the two have kind of stuck together, more like Asetin has followed Ebony around where ever she goes, and while they aren't bonded Ebony is pretty good at reading him. He makes a handy little scout and messenger, so she keeps him around; plus he's entertaining. [

History:
Ebony stumbled across the dragon when she was around the age of twelve. By that time, all the other children in Ardis were finding Runes and sometimes other creatures and bonding with them. Ebony, knowing she couldn't bond, wanted to at least find a companion to keep the other children off her back and to stop the teasing. One day, out side of a small town up in the Norther Kingdom, Ebony was walking back from the market when she stumbled across Nitor. The small Rune was injured with a cut on it's wing, and Ebony took the small thing back to be treated. While Nitor was really scared of Ebony at first, the Run warmed up to her and has hung around ever since. With the help of Nitor, Ebony both got rid of the bullies and made a new friend, a win-win.
