Name: Alni
Age: 16
Birthyear: NRC 510
Gender: Female

Physical Description: Alni is a petite girl with a very emotional face. Her beautiful golden eyes and her lithe agile movements often give away her elven heritage though she has tried to hide it her entire life. She has come to accept her race, and now leaves her long, half-elven ears uncovered. During the time she's spent with Katela, she's put on some more lean weight and looks much healthier than she did when Zira originally found her on the streets of Blade. She is young, merely 16, and still growing.
Clothing and Armor: Her clothes are simple and neat; a light blue, short, long sleeved top, which is cut square at the neckline; a knee length skirt, cut up to her hips, and a darker blue hooded cloak. Instead of sandals, she now wears a pair of Katela's knee high, dark blue boots. Around her waist, she wears a leather belt that carries a purse and a dagger sheathed in the small of her back. She used to wear a band to hide her ears but after accepting herself, she took it off, but she still carries it with her, but its only purpose now is to keep her hair out of her eyes.

History: Alni doesn’t know much of her history or her own heritage. She is aware she is half-human and half-dark elf. The first family never bothered to tell her about her mother, but after considering what little she knew and what made sense, she deducted that her mother must have been human because she was left with a human family. Her father was the dark elf, possibly had a short affair with her mother, or even raped her. Her mother didn’t want to keep the half-breed child and left her with the first family Alni had.
Her idea wasn’t far from the truth; Alni’s mother was in fact a 16-year-old human girl from Marmo. While the girl was traveling through Dark Town one night, she was attacked by a gang of dark elves and raped. She barely escaped from the elves that night and returned home. Her father, whom was raising the girl alone, decided that it would be best for his family if he went to Kannon, which was under Marmo’s control. He probably wouldn’t be allowed to settle else where in Lodoss because of the prejudice people had against Marmo.
Not long after coming to Kannon, his daughter began to show signs of pregnancy. Her father decided to kill the child when it was born, but when the baby finally came, he wasn’t able to kill his granddaughter. Instead, he took the baby to a few families he knew and asked them to take the child in. Eventually, he found a family to take her, they promised to raise her "as their own".
The family who took her in named her Alni and raised her for eight years. She wasn’t treated "as their own" like they promised, but more like an intruder in their lives. When she was eight, she began showing a capability for shamanist magic. It frightened her family and they finally gave her up after years of neglect.
Alni was lucky to have found another human family than being left in the forest alone as her foster mother suggested. However, the new family only kept her for a few months before sending her to another family. Eventually, when Alni was 13, a family abandoned her in Shinning Hill with nothing but the clothes on her back and a band over her ears. Alni wandered the streets for days, taking care of herself the best she could. She came across a Thieves’ Guild one night and they took her in. Many people were willing to feed and clothe the young girl. They taught her to defend herself and ways to steal. When the guards caught her, her fellow thieves sent her away to Alania where she would be safe. With a map her friends supplied, she made her way to Alan and joined the Thieves’ Guild there.
When someone discovered she was a half-elf, she was worried that they would reject her like every family she had known. Alni grew to despise dark elves because of the rejection she suffered from being one. Though she never met a dark elf, she was full of prejudice like most main land Lodossians. So she would pack up her belongings and leave for the next town. She moved across Alania finding Thieves’ Guilds in the cities and staying in small towns for a few days, stealing what she could and then buying supplies for her journey. She kept her race a secret and if anyone found out about her heritage, she would move on. Alni never allowed anyone to get close to her out of fear of rejection.
She ended up in Blade, the capitol of Flaim. After a few months, someone became suspicious of her race and rumors began to spread through the Guild. Therefore, Alni started stealing as much as she could as she wandered through the city on her last day. One person who had suspected her went to the city guards. He was immensely curious to see to the rumors were true, so he told the guards she was a thief and when she was captured, her race would be revealed. Alni attempted to escape but met a dark elven woman in her path. Full of spite for the race, Alni attacked the mercenary elf with her little dagger, but the woman drew her sword, knocked Alni to the ground, and took what Alni had stolen. She returned the purse to the guards and asked them to allow Alni to be taken into her custody. The guards agreed and left the two alone while they left Blade.
Outside the city they met a man named Blaze, he quickly realized Alni's race and accepted her for it. He wasn't human either, but in fact dragon-kin. The dark elven woman, Zira, also accepted her though she was part human. They then met with Aldarite, the leader of the Doomknights on Marmo and went back to Marmo with him. While on Marmo, she finally decided to remove her headband and expose what she was. It was a small act, but an important one for her.
It was on Marmo that the War of Chaos started, and Alni, Zira and Blaze were on the front lines against the undead. After a battle that ended victoriously for the side of Order, Alni and Zira caught a ship to Roid with Blaze's friend Gale. Upon their arrival in the Holy City, they found it in the midst of battle. Zira and Alni fought their way through hordes of undead once more on their way to the Mirror Forest.
When they reached the Mirror Forest, Alni met a young half-elf ranger by the name of Katela. They became fast friends and Alni spend most of the Mirror Forest battle side-by-side with her friend. Afterwards, Katela's family took Alni in while Zira went to war.
Personality: Alni is quiet, shy, and somewhat withdrawn, but possesses a great courage. Before meeting Zira and Blaze, Alni was much more withdrawn and quiet. She was an enigma to those she knew. Her relationship to Zira is something like that that of a mother to a daughter; Zira is Alni's protector and guide through life as an elf and the only family Alni has ever known.
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Quotes: "I'm not a little girl, I can take care of myself."

Theme Song
Permanent Tears
By Eagle-Eye Cherry
On the day of her arrival/No one is there to meet her/Something of a sad one/A girl with permanent tears/Born without a family/Born without a name/All she ever wanted/Was to wipe her tears away//If someone came to love her/And if someone came to be/The one that will protect her/Be a family/Now we will see a smile again/And tears like dreams can be/Something we will never see/Lost in her memory//She’s something of a tragedy/Stands in the shade of despair/I want to cast some light onto her world/A world of permanent tears/Born without a family/Born without a name/Free this weeping willow/From drowning in a flood of tears
