His father was Seraptis Fletcher, an elven diplomat to Mezintil. His mother was a palace servant, entranced by the charismatic elf. When she informed him that she was bearing his child, he lost interest in her and soon was gone from the capital. Thus Arkan was born fatherless. Fortunately, his maternal grandparents were there to assist her in her upbringing. The local Astrologer informed her mother that she was to be a boy, and one destined for greatness. As such, her mother decided to name her Arkan, after the legendary King who led the armies of Mezintil successfully against the mountain orcs, gaining rich territory.  That Arkan was born a girl surprised her mom, but she still used the name, her faith in the stars unshaken. Soon her mother met the next ambassador from Nomatassei. She informed her of her daughter’s heritage, and the new ambassador asked to meet her. The new ambassador, Anastriana Fey, was a powerful wizard, and took pity on the child. She took an active interest in Arkan, teacher her the elven language and some of the culture and history of the elves. Arkan was somewhat of an outcast among her peers. Her elven looks, silver hair, lack of a father, and slow maturation prevented her from fitting in. She spent much of her youth in the forests and fields, enjoing nature and the earth. Her physical prowess could not be ignored and Anastriana’s influence got the young half-elf an apprenticeship in the city scouts. Here she blossomed, learning the skills of outdoor survival and combat. When she was 21, Anastriana notified her that her term as ambassador was ending, and she was going home. Arkan had little desire to remain and spend her life in the environs of the capital. Anastriana had told her that she could expect a much longer natural life than humans, and she decided this would give her the opportunity to see much more of the world. Thus she saved her meager pay, and left the area as soon as she felt she could.  She set forth and traveled for about a year. In the vicinity of Alten’s rock, her horse was injured, and Arkan had to kill her. Unable to travel father effectively, she decided she needed to find some paying work here, before setting forth again. DescriptionArkan stands 5'4". She is strongly built and bronzed by the sun. Her eyes are green, and her hair silver. From the rear her hair makes her look old. And from the front, her almond eyes and angular features give her an exotic appearence. Her thick curly locks usually fall over her ears to hide their pointy tops, although if she expects combat, she will pull it back into a pony tail.</blockquote>
