#fun fact about kaiyla; the birthmarks under her eyes (the little dots) are a quirk that are unique to ravenfallow wood elves

[feliciadraws]

Been on a DnD kick lately and now that she has a proper updated design I thought I would introduce my main DnD girl, wood elf thief rogue Kaiyla! A little info about Kaiyla under the cut-

Kaiyla, the last daughter of the Ravenfallow clan, is an ace thief and archer who has been surviving on her own for as long as she can remember; when she was still but a small child, her clan, the Ravenfallow clan, a peaceful collective of forest-dwelling wood elves, was savagely attacked by a bloodthirsty band of barbarian orcs, and while many of the stronger members of her clan were slaughtered and others, namely the women and children, were taken hostage, her own family among them, poor little Kaiyla was abandoned in the woods and left to die, the orcs having deemed her too small and weak to be of any use to them. But she didn't die; she hid among the forest, and learned to survive on her own, utilising and honing the skills she learned from her family and the clan elders, and grew up among the trees as a toughened, hardened survivalist and a prodigy with a bow and arrow, eventually learning the ways of the thief, but also functions as a mercenary, helping others who can't help themselves...for a price of course. As a result of her hard, bloody life, she grew up a hardened, pragmatically minded survivalist who cares most about self preservation and saving her own skin; she's a prickly, standoffish, lone wolf type who is distrustful of others and doesn't really get on well with larger groups or parties of people and prefers to work alone, but she does have a secret softer side that pities others, namely those who can't help themselves, since she herself was once lost and helpless- she says her mercenary work is only for the money but secretly she loves helping those in whom she sees herself, who she once was. Deep down she still deeply mourns the loss of her clan and her people, but was too busy trying to keep herself alive to think about seeking revenge and by now has given up all hope of finding any other Ravenfallows who might have survived or gotten away. Oh, and as a result of her unresolved past trauma, she has a very venomous hatred of orcs, believing them all to be little more than bloodthirsty beasts, she can't stand even being around them (it's something she needs to work on).
