@Irishsong you know what? I can’t decide! I’m hearing different opinions from different people. I know it’s just eyebrows, but I’m going to make a poll haha
@MadameLee thank you! She's beautiful. Does she have a backstory?
Grace and Azure's Moms were friends so they grew up together but they didn't get quite along and when Grace heard that Azure was going to try to win an Elf Prince's love she decided to try it as well.
Background: Ember Sparks of the Setting Sun comes from the West, usually in a stage of twilight. The nation of elves travel everyday, trying to keep up with the sun. They’re a peaceful people, visiting the great forests and deserts alike, though Ember found the forests much more to her liking.
The peace is being tried lately. It has always been a way of life for the elves to cross into other’s land unannounced, and the people living there have never had a problem with it. It was written in the laws many generations ago that the band of elves could move freely on any land within the realm, but lately the territories have been wanting to keep their borders closed. Her grandfather, in his infinite wisdom, died in a riot between the band and a town they had camped in year after year for generations.
The band had never given any cause for alarm in any town or village they stopped in, but suddenly, as the chieftain's daughter, Ember feels that she should try to get the prince’s ear and find a solution to the problem. So Ember Sparks of the Setting Sun turned East, away from her family and friends, and into the unknown of the east and what lie there. Will she win the prince’s favor and get help for her clan, or will she go home to her people empty handed with defeat for their way of life?
Name: Aenwyn Stark
Traits: Loves the outdoors, Cheerful, Vegetarian
Background: Aenwyn comes from a humble farm in a small village not too far but not too close to the castle town. The story is, one of the lords of the court decided to take what he felt was his and bedded a human. He didn’t think that she would have a daughter with pointed ears and that the daughter would come back to the castle where he visited, demanding justice and swear revenge on the curse he had laid on their lives.
To the high elves, Aenwyn, on the best days is just an anomaly, and a blite to be gotten rid of on the worst. Will she avenge her mother or will she die trying, taken out by those wishing to keep her quiet? (or, maybe live a happy life? Quiet? That’d be nice too)
Name: Midna Mindful
Traits: Squeamish, Goofball, Self assured
Background: Oh great, now they’re letting Pixies in too? What next, nymphs? Dwarves? Isn’t she going to steal the prince away or something? Isn’t that what Pixies do?
Um, no. That hasn’t been done in over a century, and that was fairies, not pixies. Get your facts straight.
Midna is rather bubbly. Cleaning is beneath her, and she won’t go anywhere near a dirty toilet, or frogs, or people being sick, or- you know, the list goes on for a while. She keeps her white clothes clean and she won’t be doing any manual labor anytime soon. She’s from the high class among pixies, you know.
Ok so I currently have 18 girls. @Munterbacon you are making another girl and @dreamprisoner you said you wanted to make a girl (do you still want to?). With those additional two, we will have 20 contestants. I think that’s probably more than enough, so I am closing submissions to everyone except @Munterbacon and @dreamprisoner - you two get your girls in, and we shall be done here!
Bio: Willow was abandoned as a baby for being the abomination that she is amongst her elven village... a Half-Elf. Sent down the river towards the human village, she was found under a willow tree by a kindly fisherman who took her in as his own daughter. Over the years, Willow developed the same love for fishing as her father but the simple fact of what she was kept her aloof from the majority of the human village.
Eventually, the stares and barely concealed whispers got too much for her and she left her village, taking up a job as a maid in the royal castle. It was there that she was spotted by one of the organisers for the Selection Challenge, and Willow was entered on the spot. She's not sure about this, the spotlight isn't really her thing, but if she's lucky, her Elven parent will be watching, and she can prove to them that she's not an abomination... if she can win.
An insatiable adrenaline junkie, if there was a rapid stream to swim in, or crumbling cliff to scale, that's what Ashlyn would do. That urge lead her to venture into the forest at night, with just a lamp to ward away bears, or protruding tree roots. But as she stumbled deeper, more light began to show between the trees. Soon she was faced with strangely dressed people dancing around a fire, gorging on banquets and plucking at string instruments.
She couldn't stop from being lulled into their thrall. She danced till her feet hurt, but she didn't care. Minutes turned to hours, turned to...? But all that mattered were the sweet tasting fruits, and the beautiful faces of the people twirling her around and around. Finally Ashlyn had found somewhere that made her feel full. But that place didn't want her. After the festivities, she awoke, discarded at the edge of the forest. She didn't know how long she'd been gone, just that it wasn't long enough.
Returning to her life was unbearable, food was bland, conversation boring in comparison. Emotion? Barely a memory. She lived her life on remote, and at night, scrambled through the forest searching for what she'd lost. But the doors were closed to her forever.
Ashlyn had given up hope, but then she heard whispers of the selection. A permanent ticket into that world, and she'll do anything to keep it from slipping through her fingers a second time.
Ooo, @dreamprisoner , very nice background! Reminds me of the book 'lady midnight', a book in a series. Very good fantasy/modern author. I only have high praise.

All together with the tag #elfselection
She can be Aenwyn's "Sister from another Mister"
@MaggieMarley My bus trip was longer than scheduled due to traffic, so it may not be until tomorrow that I get my Half-Elf lady done, is that okay?
@Munterbacon of course! take all the time you need
