Physical Description
Body Features
Unlike most Mondlicht elves, Larvaya has very few tattoos.
Larvaya has had much of the right side of her body damaged during her torture resulting in nearly 45% of her body being scar tissue, some being burns, cuts, and entire sections of her being skinned. The reason only her right side was damaged was so that the left side, the side with the heart, would be undamaged when sacrificed and given to Lolth.

Facial Features
Larvaya has had the right eye removed due to lingering issues caused by acid being poured into it while she was captured. Much of the right side of her face was damaged.
Physical quirks
Walks with a distinct limp and often has her right arm pulled up, finding it painful to leave it limp or to use it for physical labour.

An expert knowledge of hand to hand combat and used to be known for her expert strategies, though that has faded over time.

Education
As with most Mondlicht Elves, Larvaya had a superb education, however, the Illar family has their children learn combat at an early age.
Employment
Former military commander prior to her retirement 50 years ago.
Was one of the first Monlicht elf to encourage the practice of the Dwarven Battlerager style of fighting. During her four hundred year military service, she proved the effectiveness of this style and made it the primary combat style of the deep forces frontline.

Accomplishments & Achievements
Roughly 53 years ago Larvaya and several members of her house were ambushed when travelling between Ennesland and Piolva by a Drow raid. Larvaya and her husband and Daughter were captured when they were drugged and made comatose until they were taken back to Unduk' Anmaa.
While there both her husband and daughter were used in sacrifices to Lolth, and Larvaya was tortured for several weeks until she was able to escape confinement.
After escaping her confinement she covered her body in a number of sharp items including the instruments of torture used on her. the shattered bones of her captors, and whatever she could find to create a makeshift set of spiked armour. What followed were the 10 most bloody days of Unduk' Anmaa's history where three Drow houses fell due to the death of every member of the family, a slave revolution, and the complete destruction of the largest Lolth shrine.
About a year and a half after her disappearance, Larvaya returned to Piolva, smashed the gravestone built for her, and returned to her position of the general of the Mondlicht army.

Failures & Embarrassments
Despite her return after her capture, Larvaya suffered a number of lingering injuries and issues that made it impossible to serve as general for more than a few months after her return. While plans were for her daughter to take over as general, she was extremely angered by the appointment going to Saralene Arabeth, a relatively unknown stranger with no ties to the noble houses of Mondlicht or even known common houses.
In order to prove her family as more worthy than Saralene, she had her daughter make a challenge against Saralene. The fight that took place was an embarrassment that called the Illara family into question. Larvaya's daughter didn't land a single strike on Saralene and was beaten within only a couple of minutes.

Mental Trauma
Since her confinement with the Drow, Larvaya has shown extreme hatred against Lolth Drow that borders on psychotic. She has also shown strong symptoms of PTSD.
Intellectual Characteristics
While she was known for a keen eye for strategy in the past, it has faded since her confinement as she has begun to focus on aggressive tactics that proved too dangerous for most of the Mondlicht Army. She seems to have lost much of the tactical genius she was known for.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
While she once wanted nothing more than to protect her people, her goals have shifted to revenge and the utter destruction of her enemies.
Virtues & Personality perks
An adoring mother and compassionate trainer before her capture, however, this has faded slightly. Though on her good days she may still show her former self.
Vices & Personality flaws
Prone to anger and violence and tends to hold a grudge.
Social
Family Ties
Like most Mondlicht families, The Illar have a family colour, theirs Being Amber with Blood red streaks going through it.
The Family Crest being a Bull's head.
The Family Crest being a Bull's head.
Social Aptitude
Formerly considered charismatic and polite, she has since become considered as violent, aggressive and standoffish. Very few other nobles beside the head families and the Queen have anything to do with her anymore.
Hobbies & Pets
Larvaya is often seen spending her time watching over the training of the cities guards, giving them advice when she can. While watching them, she often behaves more closely to how she did before her capture.
Oddly enough, after her retirement, she has taken up dog breeding. Since then, her bulldogs have become renowned in not only Mondlicht, but Donze and Ennesland as well.

Speech
Surprisingly soft-spoken when calm, but becomes extremely loud when mad or upset.
Relationships
History
Larvaya was something of an aunt and caretaker to Luazara when she was a small child, linking the two in a very close relationship. After Luazara's parents were killed, Larvaya cared for the young Queen and acted as a foster parent in everything but law. The other noble houses refused for the adoption to become legal as it would have made Larvaya the next Queen.
The two had a close relationship right up until Larvayas capture. After returning, the two spread apart as Larvaya began to push for not only war but the genocide of the Lolth Drow, while at the same time Luazara was advocating peace.
The relationship finally seemed to end for good when Luazara removed Larvaya from the position of commander of the armies and as her bodyguard. Now, while Luazara misses her former mother figure, she knows she can't return to what they had. On the other side, Larvaya has become seemingly blinded to the past and see's her former adopted child as a Queen without the resolve to do what must be done.
History
Larvaya resents Saralene, both for her taking what she considers her families birthright, and the fact she believes Saralene astray with talks of peace and treaties with outsiders and enemies.
Saralene, on the other hand, respects Larvayas battle skill and her past but otherwise dislikes that she gave up the relationship she had as Luazaras' mother figure over a desire for war.
