Erilihn Autumnsong

Erilihn Autumnsong is a young adult sin'dorei woman of common descent. She is a Farstrider ranger who serves her people as a spellbow and leads the Golden Wing division of the Dominion of the Sun. A practical woman, Erilihn often comes off as cold and stiff, but those acquainted with her know that it can be remarkably easy to make her warm up to you.

Appearance
Erilihn stands at an average height and weight for one of her people, with slight curves—nothing major, but enough to be considered attractive—to accentuate her figure. Her body is often covered by armor, but that is not to say that her finer features are stifled. While it is unlikely to catch her in anything terribly revealing, aside from perhaps the occasional breezier top, you can be sure that whatever attire she chooses to don will be fashionable and flattering to her form.

Her skin is of a pale hue—the result of a life spent beneath the canopies—and her high cheekbones are lined with copious freckles, adding life to her pallid color. Sitting above these cheeks is a pair of keen emerald eyes that bear the faint remembrance of fel from long ago. Pulled into a loose braid or left to cascade down her back, Erilihn's wavy silver hair shines like pearly thread in the moonlight. She takes good care of it, but it is not uncommon to find a few leaves scattered about her hair, given her frequent visits to the woods.

Her ears are pierced by nothing more than a simple set of pearl studs in the lobes. She has other earring holes that she keeps open, but she only ever uses them for formal occasions. She has little time for such frivolities on an everyday basis. As for make up, she wears very little; usually just a neutral eye shadow, mascara, and a touch of balm to add a certain smoothness to her lips.

When it comes to scars, she has quite a few, but most of them are almost entirely faded away or too small to be worthy of any notice. The only scar visible at first glance—and it really is more than just a scar—is the fact that about an inch is missing from the tip of her left ear. She is extremely self conscious about this, but she has realized there is very little to be done about it.

History
A practiced spellbow, Erilihn Autumnsong can strike down an enemy from afar with deadly precision, as well as handle Arcane magic with lethal potency. The two skill sets, when combined, are not to be underestimated. Both erudite and resourceful, she maintains a true balance of arcanist and ranger.

Erilihn was born to a middle-class family in Windrunner Village, and from a young age was raised to highly value the legacy of the Windrunner rangers. They were her role models growing up, and her ability with a bow stemmed from her burning desire to follow in the footsteps of these elven heroes. As soon as she was old enough to learn how to shoot an arrow, it was all she devoted her free time to.

It was soon discovered by her parents, however, that she seemed to have an innate aptitude for the Arcane. There was no excess of money in her household, but her parents managed to scrape together enough funds to send her to school in Silvermoon City, so that she could become a proper arcanist.

Rather than choose between the path of a mage and the path of a ranger, Erilihn decided to utilize both paths and merge them into one—thus becoming a spellbow. For many years, she served as a Farstrider, though there was a brief period when she took a hiatus from the organization in order to assume a more forward role in the defense of Azeroth. As of now, however, she has returned to her roots and resumed her service as a Farstrider—and this time, as a soldier of the Dominion as well—in defense of her homeland and its people.
