Energetic and bright in both demeanor and dress, Elowel never seems to take anything as seriously as her professors might prefer. Constantly moving, whether juggling, cartwheeling down the corridors, or playing, singing and dancing, she prefers relaxed and lively instead of structured and stodgy. Anyone who watches very closely can tell that she doesn't miss any detail she might be able to use to her advantage. She keeps a hidden notebook to record encoded secrets.

Elowel's Diary
Dear Diary,
Ambassador Caelthorne is my favorite professor. He understands all the ways that communication can be used to get what you want. I might not be very good on a battlefield, but put me into a ballroom and watch me go!
Elowel's Diary
Dear Diary,
I am on a mission! I am going to talk to all my classmates and find out their secrets! That's what mom would be doing here, and I want her to be proud of me. The best part is that no one really sees me as a threat. (I think it might be the ears) That's just the way I like it!

Dear Diary,
UUUUUGH! Lady Isolde was in the corridor when I lost my grip on my juggling knife. I don't know why she got so mad! That was a super ugly vase anyway! Now I have detention with her and I have to spend all my spare time learning to drink tea like a "proper noble lady"!
Later
Lady Isolde is not so bad, I guess. She said that I will need to be able to talk with all types of people, and she can teach me that.
But I still don't like tea.

Dear Diary,
This place is so stodgy! I got in trouble for juggling in the corridor! Lady Isolde was so upset, but I had all of my knives under control the whole time! Nothing bad was going to happen!
Elowel's first letter home
Dear Mother,
Oathwatch is chilly, musty, and oh so very gray! Please send all my brightest clothes and decorations for my room! I am sure my roommates won't mind!
I have been watching and listening, as you told me to. Everyone here has a story and at least a few secrets. Some of my classmates are quiet and studious, some are troublemakers, and a few might be just plain trouble.
I have spent some time with Seraphina, but she is sooo serious! It's not easy to make her laugh, but I am up to the challenge! She has a couple of guards here with her that seem to be loyal, but I am watching.
Fanya, Ryska and I continue to train as much as possible between classes, and yes, I practice my mandolin every night. Promise!
Professor Hollowind doesn't know what to do with me, I think. His teachings are all about silence and sneaking around, but you always taught us that the most obvious spy is the one who is obviously trying to be sneaky! I will just have to show him that my way works too!
Give everyone my love,
Elowel
