Elira Virellis

• Fitness & Agility: Moderately fit—graceful in motion but not combat-trained
• Body Shape: Soft and curving; her build reflects study over physical training
• Aids or Abnormalities: Occasionally wears light spectacles for long-form scroll work
• Afflictions: Prone to tension migraines, especially after excessive ley exposure or dreamwalking episodes

• Fox-like ears twitch when focused or startled
• Barely visible arcane script scars down her spine—a result of an overexerted spell scribing ritual
• Delicate fangs, rarely shown unless laughing or angry

• Always wears a soft cobalt-blue waistcoat over black study leathers
• Carries a silver pendant in the shape of a quill and crescent moon
• Her eyes shimmer faintly when she’s immersed in ley-charged environments

• Dreamsight: Elira receives occasional dream-messages tied to leyline fluctuation—visions, metaphors, and warnings she writes in coded script
• Living Quill: Her writing tools are imbued with minor sentience and adjust flow based on emotional state
• Leynote Recall: She can perfectly recall spoken words and leyline echoes she’s witnessed—often transcribing magical "sound" into spell-forms
• Scriptweaving: Elira can combine druidic glyphs with arcane script to create hybrid enchantments, primarily used to preserve or anchor spells in place

• Leather-buckled scholar’s corset, enchanted to resist ink, flame, and mildew
• High-collared sleeves fitted with rune-pocket stitching for fast access to scribing tools
• Enchanted stylus that glows softly when near untapped or dormant enchantments
• Often carries a messenger scroll-satchel containing inkstones, vellum, and leyfield record tablets

• The Floral Codex: A semi-sentient book bound in dried petals and root-laced hide; stores both druidic lore and arcane theory. It occasionally hums or grows new pages based on her thoughts
• Glimmerseal Vellum: Thin sheets of enchanted bark-paper used to record spellforms that can be cast by tearing the page
• Moonthread Gloves: Allow her to transcribe dreamwriting without damaging the original surface

Personal History (Timeline Format)

• Age 0–30: Raised in Mossmirror Haven; quickly drawn to scrolls, stories, and magical patternwork. Rarely wandered.
• Age 31–60: Began assisting in the Bloomlit Archives. Developed the first script-bridge between arcane and druidic spells.
• Age 61–85: Started recording ley-dreams in secret journals. Helped restore the ruined section of the Whisper Vault after a ley surge.
• Age 86–Present: Maintains the Floral Codex, transcribes forgotten languages, and monitors magical dream phenomena. Often acts as quiet advisor to both Lysenna and Soryn.

• Apprenticed under three Vale scribes and one Dreamweaver from the Glimmerfen
• Formally trained in arcane symbology, druidic memory rites, and ley-stabilization theory
• Self-taught in high-level script fusion through obsessive note-taking and magical experimentation

• Current Role: Archivist of the Bloomlit Vault, caretaker of the Floral Codex
• Occasionally called to scribe for major rituals or seal unstable enchantments
• Has refused offers to work for coastal academies—chooses to remain with her family and the Vale

• Created a universal binding script for ley-anchoring that is now standard across the Vale
• Translated over a dozen fey dialects into common mnemonic maps
• Bound a near-rogue sentient spell into songform, preserving its memory without allowing harm

1. The Floral Codex Incident (Age 84)

Elira once attempted to unlock a sealed memory ward embedded within the Floral Codex without guidance. The ward rebounded and projected one of her personal dream entries aloud into the air—detailing a symbolic vision of her fear of being forgotten.

• Fallout: Several other archivists witnessed it before she could dispel it.
• Impact: Though no one mocked her, she withdrew from public work for months and now double-checks every ward with obsessive care.
• Emotional Wound: Mortified that something so personal was made visible; still blushes at the memory.

2. Forgotten Binding Rune (Age 92)

In a rush to complete a preservation binding on a decaying ley-map, Elira left out a stabilizing glyph. The enchantment destabilized and caused the entire scroll case to combust, destroying a week’s worth of rare recordwork.

• Fallout: She apologized repeatedly and even offered to leave the Archives temporarily.
• Impact: Though forgiven, she still harbors guilt and has since implemented a rigorous triple-checking routine for every inscription.

3. Sleeping Through an Eclipse Ritual (Age 86)

Due to overexhaustion from a three-day transcription effort, Elira accidentally slept through a rare lunar alignment ritual she had been chosen to attend beside Lysenna. Her absence was covered for publicly—but Lysenna never brought it up again.

• Impact: Elira still believes she deeply disappointed her mother, even though Lysenna holds no visible grudge.
• Personal Rule: She’s never missed a ritual since, often arriving early and sleeping onsite the night before.

• Suffers quiet dread from a recurring nightmare in which the Floral Codex writes on its own—a sign that her dreams may no longer be her own
• Has never told anyone that the dreamwriting occasionally responds to her emotions before she writes
• Deeply afraid that she may be a conduit for something she cannot yet name

• Elira is brilliant and deeply analytical, with a photographic memory for symbols, maps, and languages. She can piece together forgotten enchantments from fragments, a skill that makes her invaluable in magical preservation. However, her emotional processing can lag behind her intellect—she sometimes misses subtle cues in personal interactions.
• Emotional Intelligence
• She is kind, thoughtful, and careful with her words. Though not naturally expressive, she often shows compassion through acts of service: finding the right passage, drafting a letter, or staying late to finish work for others. She masks her vulnerabilities behind formality and focus.
• Auditory and pattern-based—remembers the rhythm of voices and flow of magic

• Sees magic as a language, and herself as a translator between nature and order
• Believes in the value of silence, structure, and long memory
• Has a quiet reverence for balance and restraint—magic should never outpace understanding

• Preserve knowledge that might be lost
• Protect the legacy of her people without seeking attention
• Understand the deeper origins of leyline consciousness and its connection to dreams

• Savvies:
• Ritual scripting
• Dream transcription
• Memory binding
• Linguistic decoding
• Ineptitudes: Physical combat, spontaneous speaking, deception, emotional confrontation

• Likes:
• Quiet libraries
• Twilight candlelight
• Magical puzzles
• Soft paper
• Warm tea
• Dislikes:
• Interruptions
• Chaos
• Overly personal questions
• Magical showboating

• Reliable
• Brilliant
• Deeply thoughtful
• Rarely reactive
• Able to build bridges—between people, magics, and beliefs

• Emotionally distant
• Hesitant to advocate for herself
• Sometimes too passive or deferential, which leads to her being overlooked

• Taps her stylus on her wrist when thinking
• Hums softly while transcribing, in an old foxfolk scale
• Writes phrases in the margins of her scrolls she doesn’t remember writing late

Family Ties – Elira Virellis

Mother: Archdruid Lysenna Virellis

• Race: Moon Elf
• Role: Archdruid of the Lilted Vale
• Relationship: Warm but formal. Elira greatly admires her mother but often feels like her intellect is seen more as a utility than an identity. Their conversations are respectful, if slightly distant—both lean toward emotional reserve. Lysenna often entrusts Elira with delicate magical knowledge but rarely speaks about personal matters.

Father: Caelwin “Whispermane” Virellis

• Race: Foxfolk
• Role: Renowned bard and hunter; lorekeeper of the Bloomlit Circle
• Relationship: Deeply bonded. Elira inherited Caelwin’s love of myth and symbolic storytelling. He is the only one she shares her dreams with openly. He calls her "my moonbright girl" and still brings her carved tokens with stories etched into them.

Sibling: Soryn Virellis

• Race: Half Moon Elf / Half Foxfolk
• Class: Druid (Circle of Wildshape)
• Pronouns: They/them (female presenting)
• Relationship: Inseparable despite being opposites. Elira is Soryn’s confidante, anchor, and occasional conscience. She helps Soryn put emotions into words, while Soryn protects her from being consumed by the world’s demands. They share a secret shorthand language, a hidden grove for reflection, and a long history of covering for each other.

Home: Mossmirror Haven

• Elira’s childhood and current home—an enchanted glade where ley energies flow gently through the ground and flora.
• She keeps a private study there filled with scrolls, mossbound journals, and fragments of forgotten rituals. She rarely leaves for long.
