Name: Daphne Elwood
Age: Sixteen
Birth Season: Winter
Occupation: Heiress / Political Scholar
Kingdom: Lorendale
Citizen Status: Duchess
Height: 4'9
Weight: 80 lbs
Body Description: Daphne is a beautiful young woman, even by simple beauty standard. With long white hair and eyes a striking jade green and described as almost cat like in appearance. A petite woman, short standing at a mere four foot nine inches, Daphne is regarded as a picture of femineity. However, her porcelain skin is badly scarred across the length of her back from an attack on the family estate when she was fourteen years old.
Values: Justice. Wealth. Truth. Loyalty. 
Aspirations/Ambitions: Daphne wants for nothing. She has more money than she can comprehend. Having little worry about her prospects in life, it feeds the fuel to a burning flame inside her soul. Knowing that she shares her streets and neighbors with gifted scum, Daphne has made it her life's calling to get rid of them. For the young heiress, they have no place in Lorendale. Her only true ambition at this point in her life is to use the social standing she inherited (along with all the money) to play the political game in order to get them out of the kingdom. Perhaps even as far as to have them executed so they can harm no one else in the future. In her heart, the gifted community are dangerous and should be treated as such. 
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral 
Reputation: The whispers about Daphne go in many directions, with many of them swaying on the side of sympathetic. After living through such a tragedy having been attacked and witnessing the death of her parents, the community feels a sense of protection for the girl. However, there are also whispers about how she is a spoiled brat who needs to keep her nose out of politics where it doesn't belong. Feeling that she is stirring pots that need not be meddled in. Not only with her lack of worldly knowledge and how things have to be in balance for peace, but also in the realm that she is exactly what people say she is. A young girl with no proper experience for anything other than pretty dresses and kisses on the hand. Although rumors will fly, Daphne is far from a nitwitted heiress. Spoiled, perhaps. But Daphne listens and she learns. She's perceptive and cunning in the ways that she gathers information and uses it to her advantage. While she is quite selfish, she does have her soft spots for those less fortunate than her and often times will anonymously donate food or other goods in order to help the common folk. That is not public knowledge, however. She keeps those parts of herself private in order to keep her appearances for higher society. 

Combat Experience: Daphne has had no formal, or informal, combat training. The most she has ever done combatively is play wrestling with her father when she was little. Her skillset is more subtle and social.
No Magic.

Tale:
 (TW: Murder/Assault)
The Elwood name has been around for longer than many others. One of the oldest of Lorendale. A strong family lineage, comprised of royalty and nobility. A secretly gifted line for many years, until the gifts stopped presenting themselves in their children. No one quite knows when the magic stopped, or even why. Some theorized it was because they never used their gifts for fear of social retribution or that it would hurt their relationships and alliances within the halls of the royal castle. No one could ever truly know what happened. However, as the years passed, magic was left out of the stories of their history until forgotten entirely by the modern members of the family. It was like magic had never existed within them at all. The Elwood family served the realm. No matter who sat on the throne or where their allegiances lay, their stake was in that of loyalty to Lorendale, and therefore the reigning monarch. It is their absolute value as a legacy and was maintained and upheld almost as a sacred law. They were not peacekeepers in the streets, nor battle-men at the front of a war. They were advisors, strategizers, sounding boards, and ultimately servants to Lorendale and what was best for the kingdom.

Daphne Elaine Elwood. A name that is known by almost everyone in Lorendale. The last known living descendant of the Elwood line. Daphne was brought up in a world of ballgowns and propriety in the heart of Lorendale. An estate that rivaled that of the castle, passed down in her family from the beginning of their line and the birth of the kingdom. Schooled in eloquence, etiquette, mathamatics, critical thinking, and entertaining, Daphne was trained by the best to take her place among high society in order to secure a worthy marriage and continue the high standard that came with bearing her name. Her brother, Eli was meant to carry on their name. Raised in politics and following in the footsteps of every man in the Elwood line serving as advisors in some way to the crown. Unfortunately, with a high standing in society and high influence leads to enemies. Brutal and unkind enemies that seek to destroy something precious. 

Two years ago, at the tender age of fourteen, Daphne would become the only surviving member of her house. Late in the night, as the family was gathered in the great room in front of the fireplace, an attack was carried out by two members of the gifted community. One bearing the gift of invisibility and the other of shapeshifting. The form he took was beastly, strong and terrifying. The infiltration into the estate was concluded that it was a planned attack, one that had been in the works for a long time before actually being carried out. Daphne was forced to witness the horror of her mother, father, and younger brother brutally murdered by these two men. Guards stormed the great room, fighting and clanging swords rang out in her ears as she tried to escape. As she scurried from the safety she'd found beneath her mothers piano, the beast grabbed hold of her slicing her back to shreds and throwing her down. She was to be assaulted and murdered along with the rest of her family...fortunately for her, reinforcements had arrived and were able to fight them off. 

Although she escaped with her life, Daphne was scarred in so many ways that she couldn't comprehend them all. The attackers were never caught, fleeing before they could be apprehended and arrested. At fourteen she was orphaned and now the Lady of her estate and heiress to an enormous fortune. Her nannies and the staff of her house watched over her, tending to her nightmares and healing her wounds. Eventually when things began to return to semi-normalcy, Daphne resumed her lessons only she insisted on learning of politics. Her last name was still Elwood, and it was her job to continue their legacy. 

It was also her job and mission to rid the world of gifted filth.
