*Description*

Galleran Valendri is a lean and muscular sky elf with long red hair typically worn down or in a single braid. His ears are pointed and pierced multiple times. His skin is pale and riddled with various, small scars that are long-since healed. He’s been told he has a suspicious face, with his long nose and sharp-angled features; like a fox looking for the next bit of trouble to get into. This description tends to be apt as Galleran loves stirring the pot. As he grew older, he graduated from playing pranks and moved on to pitting people against each other. His typical garb is a leather jerkin vest over a loose-fitting white shirt and sage or gray trousers that don’t bunch up or create drag when he’s flying.

 

Galleran’s wings are broad; deep russet with cream undersides and darker bands like a hawk. He can tuck them tight against his back or magic them away entirely if the situation arises, however the latter option calls for greater concentration and stamina. There’s no greater joy for him than the freedom of flight.

 

 Most people are unimpressed upon meeting Galleran. Not merely because he doesn’t seem very imposing or because his lean build conceals his strength, but because sky elves are expected to be great warriors. Sonnets and sagas have been written about their great prowess and their gigantic warriors. Galleran is smaller than the average sky elf and he’s certainly not gigantic. Furthermore, Galleran is more accustomed to killing with glances, words or the written word than with a sword, but don’t let that fool you. He’s more than capable of violence and of defending himself competently should the need arise. 

 

*Bio*

Galleran was born in the Ethervale Kingdom of Sky Elves, adopted by the royals of the Aegerfell Aerie. As such he was raised in a life of luxury with the notable opportunity of looking from the outside in. He always felt like an outsider---a mere guest among the Aegerfells, who were always quick to point out the things that made him different among the Sky Elves and their family as well who could trace their lineage back to the beginning of their race.

 

As such, Galleran found he had to work twice as hard to prove himself among the nobility and, by the time he hit his teens, he didn’t much care for the company of others. Court intrigue and politics had never interested him beyond the occasional potential for high drama. Much of his childhood was spent alone, but he learned that between roaming the wilds on adventures he could return home and stir the pot—turn his old friends against each other with a word here and a whisper there and watch the sparks fly.

 

But exploration is where Galleran’s heart truly lies. He longs to map the unexplored places of the world. And if he happens to get into a spot of trouble along the way, well….that’s what makes it exciting, isn’t it?
