Here's my PC. All tenative at this point. Feedback very welcome.
I'll continue to edit this post as I figure out more precise equipment, spells, etc.

Blackthorn is a tall, strong elf. She wears weatherstained clothes of green & brown. She has green eyes, pale skin & dark brown hair. She has a vine of thorns tatooed around each bicept.
Blackthorn was raised by high elves in the forest of Celena (or other name, if more an appropriate location exists in this world)
She has been a militant nature lover as long as she can remember. When she was young (100 years ago), Celena was invaded by orcs, & she got her first taste of war. After about 10 years, the orcs were all slain or driven off & Celena was again at peace. She trained as a cleric because largely because she loved what Ehlonna represented to her people & their forest allies: a defender & nuturer. She left Celena as a volunteer with a group of rangers, druids, gnomes & archers to go to the forest of Arrandale to attempt to free that area from goblinoid control.
The incursion failed & most of her companions killed. She doesn't want to return to the peaceful vales of Celena, yet isn't strong enough to tackle a forest campaign alone. Instead she has wandered a bit, in no real hurry, as befitting one with a long life-span. She wants to accumulate power & knowledge to continue her fight. She also really wants to meet a unicorn.
