Clematis
Clematis
AKA “Clem”
Background:
Clematis was born on 9/29/420 in a cold village to Snow Elf parents. Her father was an aloof, seemingly uncaring individual who ran their household in a tyrannical fashion. When she was 20 years old, on a family trip to the Crossing, she stepped into a side alley and was “lost”. Her family searched for her, but she was determined not to be found, and eventually they moved on to return to their home. She has a little sister still living at home whom she intends to find someday and bring to the adventuring life. She soon made friends and formed relationships that allowed her to survive and eventually thrive. Her goal in life is to prosper and to be the kind of friend that her mother never had to those she cares about. She formed a sisterly bond with another elf she met in the city and together they opened a shop in the Crossing, which Clem funded, called Clematis Crossing. She adores being a shop owner and the only thing she loves more than spending time there greeting customers is traveling and shopping for wares to sell in her shop. She trains frequently to stay active and involved in her guild and prefers Ilithi over the Crossing for home and training. She has a home in the Crystal Shore area outside Northern Shard.
Unique Possessions:
A weapons connoisseur, her most prized possession is a Weapon:Elven shadowstalker's abyssium iltesh bearing a lifesculpted stormwood hilt that she won at auction during the Hollow Eve Festival 450/Auction. Since winning it, she has added a grade 4, lightening-white electrical flare; and atmospheric messaging: With eerie synchronicity, a trio of ghostly panthers comprised of shifting whorls stalk the length of Clematis's abyssium iltesh, their movements smooth and predatory; A panther-shaped whorl crouches low upon Clematis's abyssium blade, tail lashing slowly as if preparing to pounce, then fades into the dark metal like mist, Silently traversing the blade of Clematis's abyssium iltesh, a pair of spectral panthers formed of swirling grey whorls prowl in opposite directions before vanishing into inky shadow, and a ghostly feline face peers outward from the abyssium surface of Clematis's iltesh before melting away into curling grey mist.
She was also fortunate enough to win a Item:Faelight leather bag clasped with a pair of tablature turquoise zills - Elanthipedia at the Taisidon Mystery 454/Raffle. It contained Weapon:Large pair of razor-edged weighted zills fashioned into a makeshift weapon, Armor:Glossy faelight leather battle gown studded with tablature turquoise spikes and Item:Faelight leather warhorn capped with a tablature turquoise mouthpiece. Her little sister sang with the voice of an angel and she intends to present her with this prized gift when she joins Clem in Ilithi.
Pets:
She has numerous pets, a snow-white husky puppy called Prio, meaning “soldier” in Ilithic, a snow-white fluffy kitten named Arin, meaning “glory”, a river otter and a white piglet.
