As Ellania trains diligently, she constantly touches the emerald band in her
hair. It is the only thing her village, or family, ever gave to her. The only
possession that is. The band is said to contain good luck, and has been in
the village for generations. It was very strange, indeed, for such a thing to
be gifted, yet it was. And Ellania wears it, proudly, to this very day.

It reminds her of her chaotic roots. Roots which Ellania embraces. She is not
wild or reckless, but Ellania chooses to embrace chaos rather than run from it.
Perhaps this may manifest by her being a bit gung-ho or by using clever word-
play to mislead. Ellania already has a healthy distrust for the Law thanks to
what she sees as a failure by the Provincial Lich Tamazin to warrant a bard
who struck Ellania in Voralian.

Still, Ellania remains a good soul. Her band reminds her of her people's
relentless courage to remain neutral and hidden all these years. Ellania
hopes to continue a path of righteousness in the Light. Learning from the
Acolytes that she can. She hopes to, ultimately, bring joy to those around her.
She tries to practice piety by panhandling as often as she can. She feels she
is "of the people".

Ellania trains so hard because she has chosen to join the Fortress of Light.
She has chosen the Fortress because she has traveled the lands and seen what
foul evil is spreading. She hopes to use her voice and talent to bring light
to darker corners of the world. She seeks to become a Maran. The band in her
hair reminds Ellania of where she's been, while the Mantle of Light guides her
forward.
