Jewel is an elf with green hair with light golden eyes, with pale skin. Her hair ends just past her waist, and is fairly straight. At 6', she stands a little shorter than some of the other elves. She is also fairly slim, and prefers to wear pants along with a long sleeved shirt, both a little tight, to allow for easier movement. Both are also a darker color, as she prefers to wander at night. She about 1100 years old, fairly young for an elf.
Jewel is peaceful, like the rest of her race. She likes to take walks at night, when most others are asleep and everything is much quieter. She doesn't often talk much to strangers, though that can often depend on the situation. Sometimes it just can't be helped, after all. She is not typically easy to scare off, and likes a good adventure. Confrontation, however, she avoids actively. She doesn't fight too well, and while she's not fond of the humans, she doesn't think it's overly necessary. There are plenty of other elves that can fight, and that really isn't even her strong suit, anyway.
She likes music...listening to it, anyway. She can play the flute, but is easily embarrassed, and doesn't think she'd very good at it. She loves a good adventure, and loves to scout out the humans. Granted, her race is peaceful, so she only keeps an eye out for armies marching on her home, but it allows her to roam a little. She also prefers being out in nature than being confined in buildings. Caves are okay, but buildings and houses are not. She also likes watching and playing with animals.
She can't stand absolute silence. Even at night, she needs to hear something; an owl, a breeze, something. There has to be at least a little noise for her to be happy. She also has a great fear of being burned. As it is, even camp fires bother her, though she knows they're necessary for cooking, keeping warm, and light. She tried to keep her distance when she can. She doesn't like humans, like most of her race, despite the little curiosity she has towards them. She believes them to be violent and obnoxious. The one thing she absolutely hates, though, more than silence or fire or humans, is violence. No, humand and elves don't get along and she herself doesn't like humans, but wouldn't everything be easier if they just lived separately, in peace?
Jewel doesn't typically carry much, unless she's travelling. And even then, everything fits in a small bag. Usually, it's only necessary supplies; a little food, flint and tinder, and, usually, a map. She keeps a small knife on her at all times, though she doesn't use it often. She's much better at scouting than anything else, and she likes it that way. She thought it was much easier than learning to use a weapon properly.
Jewel grew up near the edge of the forest, but was continuously warned by her parents to never get too close to the edge, and especially not to go near the humans. She watched them, though, curious enough to try to figure out what they were up to. She learned later on, as she grew up, that the humans really were no good. She had heard about the dragons, too, but wasn't sure whether or not it was truth. After all, she had never seen them for herself. Nearly everything she knows, she learned from her parents.
Generally, her life was fairly simple, keeping to the forest and avoiding the humans. She has learned everything she needed to in order to survive in the forest; to hide from predators, forage for food, and find shelter for nights away from home. She was trained to be a survivalist more than anything, and uses that often when she goes out to scout human civilizations. She has a younger brother, and still takes advice from her parents, but otherwise she now prefers to live away from them. Mostly, she is either scouting what is believed to be a human army, or wandering through the forest, taking in the sites, or looking for a place to make camp.
