Irene Euphrasia
Irene Euphrasia was a Forest Elf of the Old Forest, but hard times on her family caused her parents to die young. Soon after her mother died and the kids were left alone, the irresponsibility of the eldest caused Irene, only 11 at the time, to wander off and get lost. Miraculously she didn't die in the magically-inclined and nearly murderous fey-forest, instead surviving a week or so until being found by Freya. This old hag took her in, seeing how the forest protected Irene from the beasts inside it, all the way to Greenvale somehow, where she cared for her until Irene was about 72(20 or so in human years). Irene later discovered that through communing with the forest that Freya knew where her family was and always had, yet chose to keep her from them. Realizing that Freya was much more than a kindly old lady, she left immediately, going to Golryon.
In Golryon, Irene used her skills and her totally unique to the world (at the time) magics to earn her keep as a mercenary. Eventually this too turned sour, as her employer ordered her to kill some commoners that were throwing vegetables at him. Instead, Irene took this commonder and hid out with Darrik, later forming The Ember Spears with him.
After the events of the Ember Spear's journeys, Irene and Darrik journey the world together, fulfilling Irene's wish to see much of the world that was kept hidden from her through her entire life.
