Skyla is short with an hour glass figure and flowing white hair. Her skin is pale but pinkish. Her long and pointy ears stick out as if pointing east and west, which has earned her the nick names Pointy and Outy, both of which she hates.

When not being picked on or training to get better at using her lightning abilities, she works for her mother, filling lightning capacitors, because someone has to do it. They sell them to the locals and water elves, who use them to power their picture boxes, lamps, radios, etc.

"Name's Skyla. If ya have any questions, ask away. I'll just be here filling stupid capacitors."

Do you have any brothers or sisters? Are there any friends who are nice to you?

What do you fear?

Hey! Thanks for the questions.

I'll start with the last question. It sounds stupid, but I fear never maturing. Everyone else matured two years ago, yanno? And I fear snakes. Well, anything slimy and slithery, really. But, mot of all, I fear my lightning abilities. I swear, something's wrong with me. One time, I got so mad, and I had no control over it. A big blast came from my body and killed my furry. They are cute little fur balls with tiny heads.

I have a little brother who can really bug me at times. I've imagined yanking his ears, but that's dirty fighting.

My bestfriend, Seala. She's nice to me. She's training to be a protector.

Ut oh, gotta go. Mom's home, and I didn't finish the capacitors.

-------------------------
This is what helps me flesh-out my stories

No more questions then? Goes back to pondering the bulbous creatures with teeth razors that spin in their round mouths.

Do you have any amibitions to get out of your little elftown and break free from the life of filling capaciters?

What was your last dream about?

If you could travel anywhere, where would it be?

Hey, Dark Warrior, I do want to get out of the capacitor business. Why? Because I suck at it, and it's boring, but it's not like I can be a protector, yanno? I love Frew forest, though. It's my home.

I don't usually remember my dreams, and when I do, they don't often make a lot of sense. I last dreamt about a green blob that eats people. It attaches to your skin and it burns like acid.

Hmm, travel anywhere. If I knew I would be safe, I would like to travel to the underground tunnels in Elron, and to the junkyard, just to see if the demons really exist. Too curious for my own good.

Quite intriguing, you are.

I'm interested in this demon aspect...sounds like you have never met a demon yourself- if they exist- has anyone of your kind ever had an interaction with a demon?

What is it about them that intrigues you so?

If you ever get the gumption to explore the tunnels or the junkyard would you do it on your own or is there a fellow adventurer that you might take with you?

And if so why? What would they bring to the table other than companionship?

I've never seen one, and I've never met a lightning elf that has either. The water elves claim the demons do exist and are building tunnels, but I have no clue what for.

Hmm, what about demons intrigue me. Well, I guess it is their connection with the gods. Supposidly, they wared with the gods once. But what intrigues me most is the idea they they literally evovled from the junk left behind by the gods.

I would take Oceana, my best friend, with me. She is a protector and really kicks ass.
