Alchemy isn’t just science—it’s understanding the balance of nature, the spark of magic, and the art of bringing them together to create something extraordinary.

— Ashryn

Name: Ashryn Elabella

Race: Elf

Quirk: Tends to ramble excitedly about alchemy when nervous or excited, often using obscure technical jargon that leaves others bewildered.

Appearance

Ashryn is a petite elf with fair skin and vivid green eyes that seem to sparkle with curiosity. Her silver-streaked auburn hair is always pulled into a loose braid, though a few wisps perpetually escape to frame her face. Her delicate features and slightly ink-stained fingers hint at a life spent in study and creation.

Clothing

Ashryn prefers practical yet elegant attire. She often wears a deep green alchemist’s coat over a high-collared blouse and sturdy boots. For more formal occasions, she dons flowing gowns in soft neutral tones, accented with simple jewelry crafted from natural elements like wood or stone. Her signature leather satchel, filled with alchemical tools and vials, is never far from her side.

Personality

• Curious: Ashryn is endlessly inquisitive, always seeking to understand and master the unknown.

• Reserved: While she is polite and kind, she often hesitates in social situations, especially around nobility.

• Determined: Once she sets her mind to something, Ashryn will pour all her energy into it until it’s perfect.

• Compassionate: She genuinely cares for others and strives to use her craft to make a difference, whether through healing or creating.

Background

Ashryn grew up in a small forest village known for its skilled herbalists. Her early fascination with the natural world and its transformations led her to alchemy, a craft she studied with unrelenting focus. Eventually, she left her home to open her own shop, The Aromatic Infusion, where she quickly gained a reputation for crafting unique and effective potions. Her skill earned her the attention of Lady Sarantha Ferency, who commissioned her to create a personal perfume—a task that brought Ashryn into the royal court’s spotlight. Despite her rising status, she remains grounded, driven by her love of discovery and creation rather than wealth or power.

Weapons

While not a combatant by nature, Ashryn carries:

• Dagger: A small, practical blade used primarily for cutting herbs and materials but capable of self-defense.

Alchemical Bombs: Compact and precise, these bombs are her primary defense, containing effects such as fire, concussive force, or debilitating toxins.

• Utility Potions: She always carries a mix of healing, protective, and enhancement potions, ensuring she can adapt to any situation.
