Maria Rafine
New
Roleplay posts: 7 
Physical Description: Taller than the average woman, her brown hair mixed with grey, Maria is clearly showing her age. Weathered features and an old scar on the left side of her face speak to a hard life, but her one good eye keeps staring the world in the face, refusing to let the hardships break her.
Clothes and Equipment:
She usually wears conservative clothes of earth-toned wool, but keeps her old armor in good repair in case the day comes she needs it again. In addition to her stout blackthorn cane, she always keeps a knife or two about her person, and if in her home almost certainly has more serious weaponry near to hand.

The old soldier wandered through the gates of the festival, with a smooth, even gait. She still stood straight, despite her years, and used her cane more for corralling the pair of young boys that accompanied her than for leaning on. They howled with laughter and chased each other in other circles, playing a game that seemed to have very fluid rules that mostly seemed to consist of accusing each other of applying some rule incorrectly while running as fast as possible. Maria had left her eldest daughter, Julia Rafine , at home, and would have stayed with her, but it would have been wildly unfair to Nathaniel and Francisco to not give them at least one day at the fairgrounds. It was good for Maria to get out in the spring air as well, too, she had to admit. This was mostly a festival for the young, but it had its charms for mothers, too. Even mothers old enough to be grandmothers.. If only… She shook her head and refused to let that thought in. This wasn’t the time. Instead she directed the boys’ attention across the field towards the games. “Do you want to get in line for the ring toss, or just run about the grass for a bit? You will need to wait your turn and keep more or less…” No point in finishing the admonition, the boys were tearing off across the grass, joining some other children in a game of tag. Smiling her herself in satisfaction at successfully persuading them to wear themselves out before trying to get them to be even a little still, Maria found a shady spot to stand and keep an eye on the children. |

Physical Description:
Eli has since grown into the new world and as she understands and uses her magic she matures both physically and mentally, she is of above average height and has long fiery red hair which complements her bright Azul eyes. Her mother had described them as a vessel that had captured a lightning storm at sea, bright, beautiful yet full of danger.
She has a relative petite body in an hourglass shape which is still developing into its form, some would describe her as athletic and elegant in posture and gait.
Eli now has several 'runes' of power marked on her skin.
Clothes and Equipment: ===============================
She doesn't wear the traditional clothes of a witch, mostly because she hates her lineage and instead adopts a more roguish look with almost knee-high brown leather boots, her good luck brown and white striped knee high socks which have since torn and a more practical dress, something a huntress would wear not an upcoming witch. She also wears a two-tier necklace which carries her power-stone, at current one jade and one smoky gray stone sit in their case as she has yet to master warrior magic.

The cart and his belongings were tucked away in an inn for now. Guilty, he was curious as to what was going on outside the city. The Elven man would wander into the common area, ears twitching as he picked up the number of sounds going on. So many people bustling around. It was nice. He would wander a bit, looking about to try and take in the setting - it was clear enough this was a spring celebration of some sort. And that was refreshing in itself. Eli was still smiling after her experience with Raoul, he was a nice enough man and she was saddened to leave him but she knew that she wasn't going to stay she had too much to do and too much to see of this new world she had discovered. She also had too much to drink and she couldn't have been happier. Walking with her flower crown Eli bumped into another human shape causing her flowery crown to topple and fall onto the floor. "Sorry," She squeaked her apology bending over to swipe the crown up of the floor and placing it back on her head. She had given her hobby horse to a group of children playing just shortly after she left Raoul. |

"Oh! Excuse me, m'lady," he says, taking a step back when a young lady bumped into him. He was prepared to stoop down and retrieve her crown, but she already moved to do so. But that didn't stop him from extending his arms in a gesture to help her stand - ensuring she didn't stumble after the bump. A gentleman of sorts.
"Do forgive me - I didn't see you there."

She took his hand, thankful for the support the Ale raoul suggested was stronger than she imagined her body wasn't sure how to handle the new substance.
"It's ok I was daydreaming anyway, my fault. Oh" She said looking at him fully and her eyes drifted to his ears confused, she had seen a couple of people with the same shaped ears but where she came from it was like nothing she had ever seen before. "Forgive me if I sound rude but" She pointed toward her own ears as if asking it in words was ruder.

He blinked, his expression settling to a puzzled one. A hand comes up and he brushes his fingers over his ear befor twitching it a bit voluntarily.
"Is there something wrong with my ear? Or in my hair?" he asks.

Just like she had done throughout the day with Raoul she blushed a subtle pink. "I'm sorry it's just I'm new here and I've never seen anyone with, well, pointy ears" Eli hoped the man wouldn't take it badly but she was inquisitive and anyone looking at her knew she didn't mean it as a bad joke but instead a serious question.

Pointed ears? The man couldn't help but smile, and rather easily at that. A soft chuckle escapes his lips and he subtly shakes his head, bringing his hand back down to settle on his waist.
"Oh, nothing to apologize for. I'd be lying if I said I've seen or know of everything in this world despite my age - you aren't familiar with Elves and their features? That's not something I'd be upset with at all." At his will he wiggled both ears, still grinning. "Pointed ears a a physical trait of most Elves. Some are very long, some just a little pointed."

Eli resisted the urge to stick her hand out and touch them "Wow, I mean I guess I'm a little silly thinking only humans rule the land but I never expected to see so many new things, running away was the best thing I ever did" She held out her hand.
"My name is Elizabeth but I prefer Eli" She smiled at the man, with her hand outstretched.

Naive? No, he couldn't call her that - it seemed too demeaning. Ignorant? Mm... still demeaning. But she was adorably blissful - that might be it. He mentally shook himself and focused on the pretty lady before him, carefully taking her offered hand in his palm.
"A pleasure, Miss Elizabeth," he replies, gingerly pressing his lips to the back of her hand in an appropriate greeting for a lady. "Forgive me for that, but I will call you Eli as you wish. I go by Adamar, and sad to say I'm very much new here myself. It seems we are both newcomers, though I didn't have the good grace and fortune to fall from the heavens as you did," he adds.
Yep. He still had the charm. Good to know.

'Oh wow' Eli though her stomach twisting in a knot, she had spent no more than two days and Isra and she had met yet another very nice gentleman. "I hardly feel from heaven" She argued, "But thank you for saying so it was very nice." She glanced at him fully for the first time being able to look away from his cute ears.
"You're very handsome yourself, Adamar" Eli would have to be careful that she didn't give him the wrong impressions especially when she had just left Raoul. The Shaman had warned her that people would be drawn by her Aura and by her powerstones and that one day she wouldn't be able to avoid claiming someone.
"What bring you t Isra?"

The man revealed a sheepish grin at her compliments, his cheeks coloring just a touch. But he'd learned a long time back not to make a big deal out of it - it would go away.
"Why, thank you m'lady. Ah, I grew weary of all the time I spent in the field of work I was doing. You could say God found me and gave me His love, and to return it I packed up my things and sought out to find a place to be. Somewhere to retire. Maybe build a small church to help others find His grace, too.
"So I ended up here, after attempting to start elsewhere. They were, ah..." His expression momentarily shifts to something distasteful. "Less than tolerant for people like me. I came south and ended up here. It's better, but trying to find anything or get help from the soldiers is tricky.
"Ah, do forgive my rambling - I'm curious to hear what brings YOU here, m'lady?"

Eli listened enchanted by his words, so much so she almost missed his question. "It's nothing as interesting as yours, I decided to leave my people and much like you head south to see what there was and what I could do" She shrugged as if she hadn't really thought about it.
"Honestly though? I am just starting a very long journey of self-discovery and if I find somewhere or someone to settle down with along the way then so be it"

His brows rose in expressed interest, continuing to watch her.
"A journey of self-discovery. It's very long indeed - and it can continue to change with time, I've noticed," he replies with a wry chuckle. "Just don't get too discouraged if it takes time, or if it isn't clear."
The comment about settling down - was that a slip of a desire, or just a rambling? Either way, it made him smile easily. A pretty woman like her wouldn't have any trouble finding someone to call her own. She just had to keep a stick on hand to continue to fight off the masses.
"So what brings you to this festival? I cannot say I'm familiar with it, but I can wager a guess it's something to celebrate spring?"

Eli watched as he spoke his words were full of wisdom and experience unlike hers, shrugging "Actually I have no idea, I just heard the music and followed the crowd." Eli waved her hand around as if to put the festival on display. "But I think you might be right though."

Eli thought about the question before answering it, she was only just beginning her journey but she'd be lying if she hadn't already learned a few lessons. "Well, I guess I've learned never to go into an inn that is literally in the middle of the woods that's for sure, but I've learned that I am super not ready for any of this. Once again she waved her had around "And that I might have to do some growing up very quickly"

"An inn in the woods? What's wrong with that?" He can't help but laugh at the notion - what could possibly have gone wrong at a resting place in a forest?

Eli so hoped he was joking or he'd have a lot to learn too. "What about you? Learnt anything about yourself in you're travels or are you still trying to find yourself?" She questioned simply enough. What was the warm spring sun was now slowly retreating behind the hills of Isra casting an orange glow across the festival in anticipation of the night's feast, which Eli wasn't going too.

An expression more akin to a grimace than a smile took hold of his face, but he still tried.
"Ah... as I said, I allowed God into my life and He showed me where my journey lies. And it wasn't in my prior employment. I've come to terms with that work but have moved on to a more fulfilling life, something I'm happy with. I could say that I've found myself... of course, it took me many, many years," he adds with another chuckle, trying to keep things light. "But it's very much worth it."

Eli smiled at the elven man, the sun was starting to dip behind the horizon casting a warm hue over the festival and she sighed. "I'm glad you found yourself, and you've given me some renewed strength. I was beginning to wonder if it was all worth it." She held his gaze for a moment before adding with a sad tone in her voice. "I hate to cut a conversation short but you caught me on my way to something and I really must go" She held out her hand and smiled. "It was lovely meeting you"
