Appearance:
Phelorna is a dignified woman who takes pride in her appearance. Her build best described as hourglass holds womanly curves that are rather plush to the touch, yet there are firm muscles found along her arms and legs. Even though she puts in effort to remain fit and athletic, Phelorna has since become softer, perhaps chubbier with a slightly protruding stomach and wide hips. Certainly not the tallest, Phelorna's height reaches 5'2 without the help of shoes that give her only a few inches, but her weight is around 150lbs; a healthy number considering the muscle on her frame.The manner in which Phelorna carries herself is that of elegance and grace. Raised by a noble she has a taste for luxury. Thus her attire suits the duchess, a beautiful dress made of light blue silk, gold and jewels adorn her head, and imported shoes that fits comfortably. Although her dresses may vary from modest and long sleeved, to deep necklines and shorter skirts; however a cloak may also be worn with a fur lined hood and heavy fabric of a blue color.
Phelorna's face may best be described as heart-shaped with a wide forehead, her facial features gradually becomes more angled towards her pointy chin. The woman's cheeks are full and round, her cheerful demeanor has created subtle smile lines. Her complexion comes in a warm brown, however, it is important to note that there are orange undertones creating an even richer color best described as nutmeg. Blemishes such as scars or burn marks can be found along her body. Having sustained these injuries from combat, she prefers covering her marks when possible. After all, she has an appearance to keep up.
Her facial features are most notable, for her orbs are rich in warmth and color that reminds one of topaz. Upon closer inspection, there are many colors within such as gold, red, and even light brown. Luscious lashes line the duchess' sharp eyes, creating a flirty yet alluring appearance. However, dark circles are very noticeable due to her lack of sleep caused by insomnia. Above her eyes are a pair of finely arched, thin brows sharing the chestnut brown of her hair. Further below would be an upturned nose, small in size yet befitting of her elven heritage. The duchess' pouty lips are painted mocha brown, yet there is an orange undertone that compliments her darker skin tone. When it comes to her voice, her speech is silky with impeccable vibrato.

Charming | Compassionate | Placid | Empathetic | Independent | Tends to forget she isn't alone + doesn't rely on others | Self-sufficient | Passionate (when in love) | Social | Acts serious on the outside, goofball on the inside | Indulgent with those she cares for | Gift giving is her love language | Tireless | Insomniac |
Phelorna finds herself at ease in a large group of people due to her outgoing and gregarious nature. One would be foolish to think of her as childish, and write her off as harmless or even naive. Although not overly friendly, if the need arises she is very much capable of beguiling those with a silver togue. Charisma isn't one of her strongest traits, yet a very useful weapon for the duchess. Years of dealing with nobles and the like has left her capable of achieving her goals by using sweet words.
The duchess has a graceful manner in which she speaks and generally carries herself gracefully, every move calculated and well practiced. Such grace has been taught from a younger age, thrusted upon her as a young maiden in order to appease the nobles. She walks very lightly, which causes many to be left surprised when they find that she had snuck up behind them. While she promises that it wasn't her intention-- there is a hint of mischief behind those big eyes.
A rather sociable woman, her eyes remain trained on the speaker paired with a smile that is both soft and playful. Often enough she asks questions more than she tends to listen. Although this could be said when she finds herself around pleasant company, for it's not often Phelorna spends time around those she absolutely beloathes.In which she'll remain polite and proffessional, yet if pushed her facade will crack and wear down to reveal a rather enraged woman. Thankfully these moments are few and far between that one would hardly think of her to be capable of such resentment.
Backstory:
The early years of Phelorna's life were never really easy. She was brought into the world by a widow within an elven alienage. The very slums from which she'd learn about prejudice against her race. Her people used to live on the mainland, although due to growing tension with House Keaton, they experienced substantial losses during the war. As a direct consequence, the elves were pressured into cities where they proceeded to be resented.
With little money to spare, Phelorna accompanied her mother, who worked as a noble's maid. Phelorna would chip in to earn money even as a child. Because they had no children of their own, this aristocrat felt fond of Phelorna and pitied the impoverished girl. Her mother had passed away leaving her orphaned without anywhere to turn, but the noble was sympathetic and brought in the young elf. The adjustment was difficult, nevertheless, she had proven to be a proper lady over time. Overcoming her anguish at her mother's death, Phelorna decided to pursue magic within the Cewen Territory.
The war against the House of Burton required healers, soldiers, as well as mages, and Phelorna willingly left her home to provide assistance. She spent years fighting with warriors who were wary of her because she was an elven mage. Despite their blatant mistrust, Phelorna fought fearlessly side by side, supporting them when they needed her most. With the war ending after two years Before Phelorna headed back home the emperor had bestowed upon her a tilte along with land for her unwavering loyalty.
