Ilya Voxerelie (ILL-yah voks-ehr-ELL-ee)
It's really not that hard, you know; just hit the right keys at the right times. The instrument makes the music, not me.
Ilya Voxerelie was a prolific musical performer and composer of the Grelvur Dek. He was considered a prodigy of his time and is still revered as a master of his craft.
Voxerelie composed hundreds of pieces of music in his short life, and most of their original manuscripts have survived to be preserved. Several of his smaller works, however, believed to be from his younger years, remain lost. Voxerelie has become the face of the musical era in which he lived, with works still performed throughout the world in the modern day.
Appearance
His stature never suggested genius. Then again, neither did his mouth.
Ilya was a rather petite wolf Fælen, standing at 165 centimeters by age seventeen. One of his most complimented features was his dark fur coat, said to shimmer purple in the right light. He had few other defining features besides his piercing blue eyes.
He was rarely spotted in public without his royal blue overcoat, under which he enjoyed wearing various colorful vests.
Youth
Ilya was born in Lavano, Taretaglia to a middle-class family of reputable musicians. His father, Savero Voxerelie, was a notable violinist and his mother, Ana Voxerelie, a pianist, both of which performed most frequently in their freetime.It was impossible to tell where the written notes ended and Ilya's mind began...
At age sixteen, his father began teaching Ilya to play the violin, and it was during this time that Ilya began to rapidly diversify his compositions, expanding into duets with piano and violin; as he learned of other instruments, it seemed he was developing new symphonic manuscripts every week. Ilya was often spotted in coffee shops composing works, claiming he enjoyed the ambience over the silence of home. At seventeen, he conducted his first symphony for a party of Taretaglian aristocrats.
It was at that performance that he was offered employment under Countess Deglia, who was fond of the young musician, and wished he would serve as her personal teacher. She also offered to commission works from him, which would be performed at other public events.
Mannerisms
You cannot let him from your sight for more than a moment. He is bound to get his nose where he does not belong.
Ilya was a very personable peer among musicians. He made many friends and even a few rivals as he was elevated under the Countess.

He sound like quite the prodigy from a young age already. Also quite fun how he actually made fun of himself before people he did not know :p Nice read.
