About

Family

Ayrell is very reserved when it comes to speaking of her family, most specifically her past which led to her departure from Elamiri in her youth. She only speaks of her parents to those with whom she is close and has bestowed her trust, though it is known that her parents both died while she was still young, by Elven standards. At the time of her mother's death, Ayrell left Elamiri and came to Zoluren where she lived on the streets for many years, struggling to survive and make ends meet. Eventually, she decided to join the Warrior Mage guild, not only to learn to defend herself, but to defend her half-sister, Maraisel Evyntine who had come to be in her care, as well as for other reasons which she does not openly disclose. In the 3rd month of Lirisa the Archer in the year of the Silver Unicorn, 434, Ayrell married her soulmate, Ezerak Vershir. Two years later, on the same date, they solidified their bond by performing the Gelinajuan Ruh ceremony, as per the custom, to forever bind their two souls into one. Her known relatives are a cousin through her paternal line, Aerivyn Eiryse-Lyssae, a daughter from her one and only previous marriage, Asilyia Evyntine, and a daughter born of her union with Ezerak, Sayara Evyntine-Vershir. Together, Ayrell and Ezerak remain active in support of the Mountain Elves in Elamiri and the Ferdahl in Shard.

Personality

Ayrell was raised with the mindset of a diplomat and the strict upbringing of a lady with manners and etiquette ingrained into her mentality and behavior. Because of this, her conduct is to the extreme of prim and proper, tending toward formal speech patterns and actions. Overall, she prefers to watch, listen, and learn, though when a topic is of interest to her, she finds her voice more easily and reveals the passion she keeps concealed beneath the learned and almost habitual façade of calm composure. She possesses an abundance of patience and an inherent desire to help those in need, willing to place her own life on the line to save any who require her protection. Her largest passion is history and she can generally be found tucked away in a library with her nose in a book.

Hobbies

Having been brought up as a gently bred lady, Ayrell is proficient in most instruments and possesses a love for singing. Although she is not one for being in the theatrical spotlight, she associates with many who participate in such, therefore, has been convinced to perform on several occasions, at both the Shard and Therenborough theaters. Her theatrical debut was as the love interest in Love Story, written by Ruea Drister (Shai'lin) and performed at the Shard theater. It was a chance, last roisan request by Ruea for Ayrell to accept the role of Lady Snow in For Honor and Truth: The Paladin's Way at the Therenborough theater that led to Ayrell meeting the love of her life, Ezerak Vershir. Ezerak was cast in his theatrical debut as "the young paladin" in this production, which led to their paths crossing for the first time. It was nearly a year later, however, before they would cross paths again and receive the introduction which inevitably led to their happily-ever-after. Given their mutual love for the theater, and a desire to bring people together again in Shard, Ayrell and Ezerak founded a group known as "The Ilithi Socialites" and began work on their own productions in Ilithi. Their first endeavor was a concert, to which Prince Fayne, himself, graced the audience as well as the Honorable Tower Steward Rylento. Subsequently, they arranged a "Night at the Improv" and a play co-written by Ezerak and Ayrell titled "Rescue on the Reshal" which received overall positive reviews from those in attendance.

Interests

It is an indisputable fact among Ayrell's friends that she possesses a particular love for rare gems, most specifically those of the sapphire family. Collecting rare sapphires has become a pastime for Ayrell over the years, her collection a constant work-in-progress that she is always looking to grow. Aware of her own slight obsession, Ayrell is known to poke fun at herself, having written a song titled "Sapphires are a Girl's Best Friend" which she performed at the first concert hosted by the Ilithi Socialites. Despite various efforts to curb her collecting habits, one need only look at her to know she has yet to succeed, and likely never will.

Religion

Despite her choice of profession, Ayrell has always been a lover of peace, preferring diplomacy over violence, which led her toward Albreda at a young age. Her history as an orphan also played a role in turning Ayrell's devotion to the dove, seeking comfort from the peaceful goddess in her youth, and guidance from Albreda in adulthood now that she, herself, has become a mother. It is from Albreda that Ayrell draws her strength, seeking peaceful solutions and alliances above all else, and relying on her skills as a Warrior Mage to offer protection to those around her during times when peace proves impossible.

Favored Possessions

Mountain Elf

Ayrell is very open about her loyalty to Queen Morganae and the Mountain, therefore, she tends to display the Queen's symbol, a swan, prominently on her person and several of her belongings. Among the most notable are a sword belt she had designed in the likeness of one worn by the Queen, a cloak bearing a swan clasp to represent her heritage, and armor proudly designed to bear both the swan and Queen Morganae's crown.

• Sword belt: a braided silver sword belt inset with scintillating swan medallions

Tiny blue sapphires sit in the eye of each swan as the medallions dangle like chimes from brilliant platinum chains. Silver braids weave through circular steel links polished to an exquisite gleam. The belt is crafted to rest low on the hips, designed to elegantly secure a single blade.

• Cloak: a sinuous cloak of rippling ebony nightsilk clasped by a faceted sapphire swan

Countless smooth facets gleam with a dark brilliance from the surface of the gemstone brooch at the neckline of the cloak. A single large sapphire has been cut in the likeness of a demure swan with an elegantly arching neck. The single cut forming the swan's eye gazes solemnly into the inky darkness of the flowing nightsilk, as if it were deep in thought. Each subtle movement causes the cloth to shudder, rippling like the surface of a vast underground lake, with the lone swan floating serenely upon it.

• Armor: some faeweave armor graced with a swan issuing from an Elven crown

Contrasting against the somber fabric, delicate cloth-of-silver embroidery forms complex geometric patterns. Twilight sapphires adorn the crown of Queen Morganae, each gloaming stone reflecting light in the shape of a star.

Family

At the time of her mother's death, Ayrell was forced to flee her home so suddenly, she was unable to bring anything with her. It wasn't until years later, when she returned to Elamiri, that she was gifted one of her most favored possessions: The Evyntine family ring her mother used to wear, the cherished possession having been passed down through generations of Evyntine women, signifying the eldest daughter as the family heir.

• Ring: a gleaming silver signet ring bearing an intricate family seal

The noble Evyntine crest consists of an elegant Elven sword pointed downward in a defensive posture and wrapped in a spiral of jagged lightning, further encircled by a wreath of flames. Tiny diamonds form the ring's electric shroud, and flecks of blue sapphire make up the flame.

Engagement & Gelinajuan Ruh

Among Ayrell's other most cherished possessions are her engagement ring and her wedding ring. When speaking of her engagement, Ayrell is known to fondly advise that Ezerak knew of her love for rare sapphires, therefore he didn't just get her one sapphire in her ring, but chose to get her ALL the sapphires in her ring. The wedding ring for the Gelinajuan Ruh ceremony was designed to complement the engagement band, as was the bracelet Ezerak presented Ayrell as a wedding gift prior to the ceremony.

• Engagement Ring: a spiraling lilac moonsilver engagement band crowned by a blue Elamiri sapphire

The fine, luminous metal glows from within to create a spiral of violet moonlight, causing the cacophony of rainbow, phantom, duskbloom, and haze sapphires inset along the band to cast a multi-hued shimmer across the surface of the large Elamiri sapphire. The delicate lover's band is designed to wrap perfectly around the finger, each priceless stone chosen to complement the rare ocean-blue tones of the large center stone while a tiny Idon's sapphire rests beside the engraving within the band. There appears to be something written on it.

• Wedding Ring: a lifesculpted moonsilver wedding band cradling a trillion-cut twilight sapphire

Twin strands of luminescent moonsilver are masterfully woven to entwine as one, wrapping around the wearer's finger in a swirling, eternal embrace. The delicate, braided band lends a feminine appeal to the elegantly ethereal design, winding together at the center to showcase a faceted trillion-cut twilight sapphire. In complement to the starry gem, two sets of smaller Idon's sapphires hug the sparkling stone from either side, lending their subtle strength from within the band's soft, moonlit glow. There appears to be something written on it.

• Wedding Bracelet: a dainty lilac moonsilver bracelet linked to a sapphire ring by intricate chains

Luminous links of lilac metal embrace the wearer's wrist in an intricate labyrinth of softly glowing chains tapered in a V along the back of the hand, held in place by a slender ring designed to rest over a feminine finger. Twilight sapphires set at each diamond-shaped intersection of the lustrous web lend their unique sparkle to the accessory, further accented by a single cobalt Elamiri sapphire glinting from the ring's trillion-cut setting.

Wedding

Separate from the jewelry Ayrell wore for her "Soul Marriage" to Ezerak, she also had a very special gown designed to truly showcase her Mountain Elf heritage and her love for sapphires. The gown was made of Elven snowlace (which is comprised of fibers only found on Mountain Elf lands) and ice sapphires while the accompanying slippers were designed with the same materials as well as the addition of a swan on the heel.

• Wedding Gown: a stunning gown of ethereal Elven snowlace shimmering with ice sapphire beadwork

Faceted beads of icy blue form an arabesque pattern on the lacy fabric, securing it to a layer of satin to create a fitted bodice cut with an elegant sweetheart neckline. Sheer flutter sleeves attach in an off-the-shoulder design that billows gracefully along the wearer's arms, caught at the wrist by slender bands of glittering sapphires. Subtle trails of precious gems twinkle radiantly from hip to hem, accentuating the full skirt as it falls in snowy waves from the alluring hourglass waist.

• Slippers: a pair of exquisite Elven snowlace slippers adorned with sparkling ice sapphires

Extremely delicate white lace provides a dainty, fragile appearance to the fine, lustrous threads molded over shimmery satin, accentuating the gentle sheen of the fabric. In complement to the snowy hue, the footwear glitters with an array of ice sapphires sewn into the lacy weave, their faceted surface glinting with regal beauty when exposed to light. Elegant in design, a modest heel adds the barest hint of height to the wearer and is faintly etched with the image of a swan in repose upon each side.

Sapphires

In addition to the moonsilver and sapphire bands and bracelet for Ayrell's engagement and wedding, Ayrell embraced the opportunity to design an entire set of sapphire and moonsilver items to complete the ensemble Ezerak started for her. This set was completed with a matching choker and a matching anklet.

• Choker: an ornate choker of lilac moonsilver woven amidst a labyrinth of sapphires

Delicate chains of luminous metal create an elegant yet complex maze of metallic filaments designed to embrace the neck and splay across the collarbone when worn. The subtle lilac glow casts a radiant shimmer over the stunning array of rainbow, phantom, and duskbloom sapphires entwined along the strands. Wreathed within the choker's forefront is a cobalt blue Elamiri sapphire encompassed in an opulent frame of sparkling night diamonds, the striking centerpiece adds a unique beauty to the regal accessory.

• Anklet: a twining ivy anklet of lucent lilac moonsilver with variegated sapphire blooms

Molded of luminous lilac metal, the dainty accessory mimics the delicate curvature of an Elven ivy vine, designed to spiral in an elegant coil around a feminine ankle when worn. Vivid green leaves formed of faceted spring emeralds add their radiant sparkle amidst a stunning array of Elamiri rose blossoms composed of rainbow, phantom, and duskbloom sapphires, each gem meticulously fashioned to complement without overshadowing the large cobalt Elamiri sapphire bloom that shimmers from the spiral's center.
