Description: Elisia has braided her golden hair into two braids. She is slightly plump, has fat round cheeks, and a sparkling smile.
History: The elder Wildwood should have seen the trouble when young Elisia fell silent when she heard the troubador's song. She was enthralled. How so much could be done with a tune! And the places he spoke of. Seas of Stars, mountains that touched clouds, trees older than the dale and most of all, ships that travelled the skies. She would squint her eyes to spot one of them. Surely... they were out there?
Her parents frowned on her daydreaming but did let her practise the mandolin, and she was crowned the Shire's Musical Prodigy of the Season (as competitions are important to the wee folk). She practised bowcraft with the young boys, who kept quiet because she was a fairly good shot. She was not like her siblings; she didn't want a barrow, had no interest in bread-tasting, and would accost travelers through the shire for tales and legends.
Her parents sighed, hoping her adventure daydreams would all go away, but they didn't. A sneak raid by Goblins plunged the young Halfling right into combat, and her arrows took down many of their number as she protected the Skrenworths from the humanoid's dull, rusty knifes. She was given a medal and knew that her livelihood would be travelling. She would ride those ship of stars; she would travel far and wide, earning a living as a musician with the fine mandolin the Skrenworths had bought her as a gift for saving them. The master archer Gordan Brightbow sighed as he listened to her dreams, gave her additional lessons with her bow. The famed musician Diane Hortfeet advised her to marry and settle down instead, but Elisia begged for more musical lessons and soon, she could set everyone dancing a jig or tearing with a ballad. Diane also taught her Elisia little bits of magic to add to her repertoire.
So it came to pass one night. Elisia had just played at the wedding of her best friend Straley and the attendees were drunk and exhausted. Tucking her parents in, she left a note saying "BE BACK SOON. OUT FOR A BIT. WILL EAT WELL AND WASH BEHIND EARS. Love, Elisia". Taking her equipment and Tikal, her pet hamster, she hitched a ride with pilgrims to the city of Pendershan.
She has managed to persuade the captain of the Elegant Interlude that they require her services as a musician on board the ship, with bow skills to match as well! The captain had agreed though it did require a long demonstration of Elisia's playing before he was persuaded. Right now, Elisia wanders the decks with her mandolin. She can't wait for the ship to take off and her journey to begin!
