Mental characteristics
Personal history
They were born into a large family, not of siblings but of neighbors and cousins elven and human. From the time they were but a tot there was always a group of at least five playing with them. Their elven clan and human tribe had mixed and made the most secure and loving environment. Older cousins taught Enfys how to climb trees and ice skate on the thick ice of the pond. Their human father with callused hands helped them string a bow and shoot a rabbit. Their mother still lacking all signs of aging showed them how to skin a rabbit and how to lay traps. A human aunt taught them how to make clothes while their elven Auncle taught them ice fishing. They learned basic magic from everyone from ice and water magic to basic healing. As far as Enfys was concerned all they needed to survive in the world could be learned at home, however the council had decreed all children receive a standard education.
Enfys and their cousins would make the trip to the nearest town with a Trolddom school, Hailvale, which was till cold enough for the elven adults and the half elven children without elemental ice magic to be healthy. Enfys found school boring and often could not sit still. They and their cousins all found it to be lacking to their home education. They learned at home from people they knew to respect, who had earned it and this teacher was expecting it with no reason. Plus the teacher did not know what they were talking about, everyone knew Trolddom was a power hungry aggressor in all the wars! No one had joined their Kingdom for peace truly, they had joined for fear.
Despite causing general chaos and mischief when affinity testing happened at seven Enfys was content to choose to finish out their minimum education required at the school instead of apprenticing under an ice mage. But the Order decided for them and made all the half elves with any elemental affinity go off to an apprenticeship that was chosen for them.
Enfys toiled hard under their teacher, who believed that a tired child would cause less problems. But despite the teacher definitely falling hard for all the Order propaganda Enfys had some fondness for their time under them. Most ice elves only learn hunting and not fighting but their teacher taught them how to fight. During this time they also learned how to sneak out quietly to have fun away from prying eyes and meet any cousins nearby.
With their family's encouragement they decided to join the Ice Mage Guild upon finishing their apprenticeship at fifteen. They did not get to do any decent jobs however, they were assigned to ice maker duty (making ice for rich people kitchens and the market). They were given training offered through the guild but found themselves questioning the Order more the longer they stayed. They saw the discrimination against most of the conquered people that hadn't conformed to their wishes, and saw some questionable dealings.
One day at twenty Enfys permanently returned home after overhearing the High Water Mage making dealings with a known group of thugs, they get money in exchange for continuing to shake down any "problem subjects". Enfys had seen enough of these dealing and high tailed it home in the dead of night from the capital city.
Upon returning home they would help their mother care for their ailing father, who was advancing in age faster than expected due to unknown illness. Some suspected it was his heart others wondered if it was from the cursed frost. Regardless at sixty seven he would pass. Enfys now 22 saddened mourned with their mother and whole family. They held a funeral for him and grieved. Enfys expected to live hundreds of years with their family teaching the future generations as they were once taught.
It was not to be.
The Ice Elf Massacre would happen destroying their homes. Many full blooded elves would perish in the fire, too weakened by the heat. Those without elemental magic among the half elves would also perish, and more would follow in the days following the fire.
Enfys initially travelled with some ice mage cousins before they all went separate ways with each having a different idea of how to handle their new lives. Some would return to Hailvale to live peaceful lives. Some of the cousins with their own children elected to join a guild for job security, no one would join the ice mage guild however. Not after what they know was ordered by the Elemental Order. Enfys took a slightly different approach, they knew their government was corrupt and had no wish to work fo it or be surrounded with the brainwashed masses. They could live off the land well enough and when it wasn't enough well, they would earn the name Lytefoot for a reason!
Initially they only pickpocketed, then they would get involved in bigger schemes to help the tiny villages they passed through. They tricked Order guards that took advantage of the little people, roughed some up too. As they got older an assassination or two of a corrupt noble would occur. They were known but rarely caught, and if they were it wasn't for long. They learned the shadowy street and decided which side they would walk.
Years later, they are a known and respected criminal with contacts in every major city and a bounty higher than anyone else in history. They are walking the road to Honey Meadow, a large prosperous farming village, to make shelter before making their way to a port city. The town though was a bit worse for wear, as though a tornado more common in the high valley blew through. But what caught their attention was a baby wrapped in blue by the roadside. Enfys does not know what possessed them but when they saw that baby instead of dropping them off secretly at an orphanage in a different town they instead held the baby and shushed them. Enfys and the child made their way to a different town, smaller and closer to port. Two lonely beings had found each other and one day they would turn the world upside down.
Gender Identity
They were exposed to human gender concepts from the humans in their hometown and in Hailvale but never felt particular one way or another. Other elves, their mother for example, felt more traditionally feminine and expressed that. Enfys however felt comfortable in each possible gender role. They enjoyed wearing pants but also loved dresses, honestly they preferred elven robes but most styles were not practical on the road. Like many elves they just enjoy existing between.
Sexuality
They themselves have sexual characteristics of both sexes and found themselves with crushes on many elves growing up. As they have traveled the country they have had nights with both men and women as well as nonbinary folk. They find they are pansexual and rather do not care what they find under their bed partner's clothes.
Accomplishments & Achievements
Their proudest achievement was climbing to the top of the tallest pine tree that no one else in their clan could. They won so many candies off their cousins for that.
Their second proudest moment was not sleeping during the boring Ice Mage Guild meetings.
Failures & Embarrassments
They slipped and fell while skating on ice they made themselves, only Azure witnessed it and the girl has been sworn to silence.
Intellectual Characteristics
They learn through their hands rather than the word in a book. They are a smart strategist and brilliant with ice magic but they never found joy in the scholarly world, hence why they wanted to be done with school quickly.
Morality & Philosophy
An eye for an eye best describes Enfys' philosophy. And talk shit get hit as well.
They grew up surrounded by family and now it has been lost, when they see the little guy get pushed around by the Order they will deliver Just desserts.
