She used to have a name, a long time ago. But that was irrelevant now, as were her memories from that time.
Moderately NSFW
Occasionally she'd think back to the bright city, the happy crowds, the happy child she'd been.
At night sometimes she still dreams about the fall of the city, of being hidden, with water and food and told not to come out for days, weeks, until it was all gone. When she'd finally emerged it was all empty, save for the bodies, and the blood. Occassionally she wakes up screaming at the nightmare.

She's been alone since that time, so long ago. The city is overgrown ruins now, and no people like her have ever come back. She doesn't track the years, merely the seasons, when to hunt, when to gather, when to store... and when to hide. Upright folk come sometimes, with weapons of steel... just like her one possesion from the past, a shining knife she always keeps with her, and she hides from them. Sometimes they pass through, occasionally they camp there. A few times they've seen her... everytime she's escaped, or her blade has tasted blood...

Now, one night she's washing off the dirt of her latest hunt from her body. Being clean is important to her, for some reason she no longer recalls, she hears something behind her, turning, realising her knife is on the shore and turns, panic rising in her heart...



Okay so this is a background that came into my head, from seeing the picture attached. The idea is an elf girl who's grown up alone after her city was destroyed and all the people killed or fled. It's been centuries and she's become feral, the knowledge of her name, her language almost lost to her. And now... your character comes across her.

There's lots of ways to play this, and I'm happy to discuss ideas, but the two main thoughts are either the light story or the dark one.

The light story is something of a romance, where your character slowly brings her back to being a person again, remembering her name, her language, how to behave, that wearing clothes is something one does.

The dark story is on her capture, and becoming a slave or even a pet to her captor.

Either storyline, or something in between interests me, and I'd love to have a description of the character you'd like to play. (M/F and F/F are the obvious choices.)
