Falin Nightlake, Huntress of Y'ffre
Age: 415 (However she still appears as a fairly young elven woman.)
Height/Weight: 5' (5'6" with her horns) 120lbs
Extra Appearance: Falin shares many similarities with other Bosmer: a small, slender yet strong build that allows for an agile fighting style, and her eyes carry the unnatural look Bosmer are known for. Black sclerae with a blood red iris. She prefers to keep her snow white hair cut very short. The wild hair often appearing spiked on its own. While several faded scars can be found on her body, only one stands out. A long cut traveling from near her collarbone to just under her right eye. A reward for letting her guard down around a monster a wizard had created.
Taking on an aspect of the Wild Hunt out of desperation wasn't without its consequences. Horns now grow from her head and her teeth are closer to a beast's than a Bosmer's. The horns themselves aren't overly large sitting between six to seven inches at their full height. The off-white horns bear a close resemblance to the antlers of a deer, even sprouting small tines as time went on. A training accident left her horns growing unevenly with the left now sitting about an inch shorter than the right.
While typically hidden beneath her armor, her right arm is covered in a sleeve of intricate tattoos. Complex knot work of vines and flowers representing the Bosmeri connection to the Green. The emblem of the Warriors of Y'ffre can be seen at the top near her shoulder.
Her armor is made from leather. Wyvern scales have been meticulously layered along the cuirass, vambraces and boots resulting in an armor than can absorb some blows but still allow her to move freely. Carved bone adds ornamentation while providing for extra reinforcement.
Sexuality: Straight
Race: Wood Elf
Class: Ranger
Personality: Falin tends to be generally polite and reserved when first meeting others. Green Pact Bosmer may be cannibals, but they aren't savages. A point she often has to show to any outsider she meets. Despite her more distanced approach to first meeting people, Falin holds the natural curiosity many Bosmer share. The inventions of many other races and cultures never fail to capture her attention.
Once Falin warms up to others, a far more playful and teasing side comes about. However, if working with those she dislikes (Or openly dislike her) Falin will remain more distanced and professional in her approach. While she's more than willing to work with a team, she does enjoy her time along. Perhaps something that comes with years of hunting and relying heavily on stealth.
Past: As a child, she unintentionally led to her village being "cleansed" by a more extremest group of elves due to the humans that had married into and lived with the clans. Nearly everyone that lived there had been killed. She was found by a group known as the "Warriors of Y'ffre." Among the patrol that found her was a young recruit by the name of Dereth Nightlake. What began as a rather bitter rivalry between the two eventually developed into a very close friendship. Ask around the members of the Nightlake clan or fellow Warriors of Y'ffre and they'd tell you the two were practically married though they would vehemently deny that claim. Falin adopting the Nightlake surname doesn't help her argument.
Being raised and trained by the warrior sect led to her becoming a close follower of the Green Pact. A series of rules put in place by the god Y'ffre in exchange for giving the Bosmer their form. Thanks to her rigorous training, she's become an expert marksman. While she prefers to stick to ranged combat, she's more than capable of holding her own in close encounters. Years of archery, scaling and maneuvering through trees has given her plenty of physical strength and stamina.
Something had tainted the waters of homeland. Whatever drank of it, Bosmer or animal was corrupted. They were twisted into mindless creatures that would kill anything in their path. To make matters worse the corruption was soon tainting the waters across the world. Hearing the call of an unknown voice and with no other options left, Falin followed the voices instructions to seek out and destroy and ancient artifact. Doing so caused Falin to become the vessel of the Bosmeri god, Y'ffre. The god was able to cleanse the curse twisting their children into mindless monsters.
Though Falin's newfound powers came with a cost: she could never settle down. Trying to create some kind of permanent home would result in tragedy befalling it and destroying it. That's not to mention the great physical strain that comes from tapping into any of Y'ffre's divine power.
Even with the price she had to pay for her abilities, her and Dereth did in fact wed. Though the event wasn't made known any outside of family so when this occurred was unknown. Though she could rarely visit, being with her beloved was the only time she ever felt at peace. However she was Immortal and he wasn't. They had both figured it would have been time that would claim the aging Bosmer, she hadn't expected his murder as an attack on her.
If their plan was to anger the Immortal, it had certainly succeeded. Lashing out, Falin slaughtered the ones responsible without mercy or remorse. While the act hadn't eased the pain of her husband's demise, she did come to accept it and move on.

Personal Weaknesses:
- Outside the abilities gifted to her from Y'ffre, she is incapable of using any kind of spell.
- Being Y'ffre's vessel, Falin doesn't have any leniency with the Green Pact.
- Due to their more cannibalistic culture, Bosmer are often looked down on and shunned.
- Bosmer aren't very technologically advanced, she may have explored for of the world than most but don't expert her to recognize everything that others would take for granted.
Reason for Joining the Travelers: She does so under Y'ffre's command
Dreams: For the Bosmeri people to live in peace without being looked at like some group of savage beasts.
Fears: Given that most of her village was burned down, she has a strong fear of fire. She's far more likely to just freeze up until survival instinct kicks in and forces her to move. She has gotten to the point that she's fine with campfires and fireplaces given they're under control.
Extra:
- While Falin is considered to be immortal, that isn't entirely the case. Time won't kill her, though wounds certainly can.
- Due to her status as a vessel, she hasn't appeared to physically age over the many years she's lived.
- Anyone sensitive to divine auras will likely be able to detect the god also inhabiting her body.
- She can heal from minor cuts, bruises, etc. in a matter of minutes. More serious cuts are typically healed in 5 hours. Grievous wounds and broken bones require several days to recover from.
She cannot regenerate lost limbs, digits, etc. Teeth, however, seem to grow back after a month or so.
