Okay...getting a basic outline together here. Leaving out specifics, because I want to make room for adapting to this campaign world and events.

In a Nutshell:
Aridha is a 'plains elf,' which are elves from wild savannah and veldts to the south of the campaign starting point. Possibly across a sea... They have some minor cosmetic differences, but are mechanically identical to PHB elves. They organize in nomadic tribal groups that follow prey herds around in seasonal patterns. They've formed relationships with the local big cats, lions and, rarely but not unheard of, tigers...hunting with them cooperatively.
Aridha came to the place in the campaign world where most of the action takes place in search of her father, who left when she was young. In the process of searching for him, she becomes an adventurer and bounty hunter. eventually she finds that her father has come out there to meet with the local orders of Melora who are in talks with the high priestly orders of Corellon, discussing the possibility of alliance. The followers of Corellon are proud and skeptical, but Aridha is able to convince them that Melora's people have much to offer, and a personal stake in making sure the drow do not win.
After participating in several strikes against the drow, Aridha and her father return to the plains with magic provided by the followers of Corellon...to bring the plains elves together and join the fight. They arrive just in time for the epic battle where Lolth is destroyed.
Now Aridha is unsure where she belongs...back home with her people, or here where she's done so much more. She's fought the drow tooth and nail, but now some seem to want her trust. And without the mutual threat of Lolth, how long before the alliance between Melora and Corellon dissolves? And what side will Arida choose then?
...
Seem okay so far? Just throwing rocks in the pond right now, really. Seeing where the ripples go.
