One of my friends did a "Show your OC before and after their trauma" and it got me thinking.

Thinking of an elf's hair being super important. Of long hair being a symbol of pride and status in some cases.

Nina having super long hair as a witch elf, her being super proud of it, of being skilled enough that she hadn't damaged it in battle yet. We joked yesterday that Nina's kill count is probably insanely high, and she has no idea.

This is Nina nowadays. She's going through it. But losing her hair was a last year thing. She lost a Lot of her hair in a housefire, so it's super short and uneven.

Anyways. Elf hair being a symbol of power and pride and Nina being a witch elf, part of the the kill-on-sight race that is dark elf, with gorgeous, long hair, vs masquerading as a high elf, the most self-important elf race, and having short, messy hair.
