Tanna[]
 |
"I don't want to look like an idiot in front of everybody!" |
 |
At age 16, she is the eldest child of a Key-Stone member of the Village High Council; therefore, Tanna has been raised uder a strict and watchful eye. Rather than molding her into the model princess, it has caused her to rebel agianst the social expectations of her upbringing. Tanna dreams of joining the Village Guardians to protect her home from any monster, trespasser, or spy that has the audacity to cross the village boarders. With this in mind, she practices long and hard for the day when she can finally prove herself with the bow, despite certain others laughing at her. Yes, this is partially a way to rebel — but she also just likes doing it and being her own person. She tries her hardest not to be cast as the High Councilman's daughter.
- The Archer: She aspires to be as good as Luero (the very first pages of the comic are her practising shooting), but isn't very good yet — though she believes herself to be. She doesn't have the calmness often associated with being an archer, which might contribute to this.
- Dope Slap: Tanna semi-frequently hist people on the arm when they're being stupid.
- Flower in Her Hair: She doesn't like wearing the wreaths of herublossoms at the Taurëcuiva Festival like the other women and girls, but Rolan thinks the flowers suit her.
- The Obi-Wannabe: She wants to teach things to Elon, but he would rather learn from a "real" warrior.
- Rapunzel Hair: She had this when she was young, but now the longest her hair gets is to her mid-back.
- Too Many Belts: Her concept art has two functional belts and three decorative ones, along with numerous other buckles on her boots.
Luero[]
|
"Go back to the part about how honourable I am." |
|
Master Archer of the Guardians of Eytherlia, he is also the master of stroking his own ego. He finds his way leaning towards Tanna more often than not, and when not with her he is nearly always in the spotlight. He is a master ranger, and has proved himself with the bow and in close combat. Tanna strives to gain scouting talents like his, since they are almost beyond belief. Though he is the second in command of the order of guardians, he has taken it upon himself to become the protector of Tanna. He is also not a great dancer.
- The Archer: He's known for his great archery and tracking skills, and can use a bow at close and long range.
- Big Man on Campus: He even has fanboys.
- Oddly Visible Eyebrows: In the banner at the top of site, the outlines of his eyes and eyebrows are seen through his thick red fringe.
- Rapunzel Hair: He has hair to just below his knees, and only pulls it back when tracking/fighting.
- Shirtless Shot: He has his moment here, demonstrating that he's in his prime despite being 77 (see Really Seven Hundred Years Old on the main page). Zalanna is shocked at his behaviour — surely it's highly inappropriate for innocents like Myari to see!
Zalanna[]
|
"Did you just refuse a dance invitation?!" |
|
As the honored daughter of the High Councilwoman Veronna, blood descendant of village founder Gysseundlin and eventual head of his founding house, Zalanna was born into a position of honor, power, and high expectations. Poised, proper, and well-educated, she happily takes her place as 'noble' among her people. She puts Tanna in awkward positions at times, but really is only looking out for her friend; she wishes Tanna wouldn't rebel and tries to push her into the traditional role she herself is comfortable with. She tends to judge those around her before she truly meets them, a pattern first seen in how she calls the outsider wood elves "feral" and repeated with Rolan. She is quick to step in for Tanna in a pinch, though the latter is not always appreciative of her help.
- The Dutiful Daughter: Very much so. She also sometimes lectures Tanna about it: "As daughters of the founding families, it is our duty- nay, our birthright to set an example for the common folk."
- Flower in Her Hair: She always has a few choice blossoms (pink) gracing her blond hair.
- Hair of Gold: Her straight blonde hair symbolises her status and how she embraces it, and provides contrast with rebellious Tanna's messy and short(er) brown hair.
- Rapunzel Hair: This is part of her characterisation as high-born and such; also see above.
Myari[]
|
"... What's the fun in that??" |
|
Excitable, energetic, easily-distracted, impulsive... These are only a few terms one could use to describe Myari, and even that wouldn't give you the full effect of her rather large personality. Prone to interrupting conversations, jumping headfirst into situations, and breaking out into song, Myari isn’t easily ignored. She is growing up side-by-side with the more responsible and cautious Elon, which has allowed these qualities to multiply tenfold (much to his dismay). Though she has a short attention span, her knowledge of the history of the elves is higher than the rest of the children her age — this may be due to the influence of her grandfather, an elder and historian. She shows great promise with the knowledge she posses, but disappoints her grandfather because of her frequent absence from his lectures.
- Curtains Match the Window: Her hair and eyes are both bright green.
- Does Not Like Shoes: She doesn't make a big deal of it, but has yet to be seen wearing shoes/boots/moccasins. This is apparently something she has done since childhood.
- Genki Girl
- Girlish Pigtails: They're very long and at the angle of Odango, just without the buns.
- Hair Decorations: She has beading in her hair in her concept art.
- Oddly Visible Eyebrows: In order for her hair in its high tails to cover the same amount of face as it does on other characters, she has almost no forehead. However, her eyebrows can still be seen the right distance above her eyes — in the middle of her scalp.
- You Gotta Have Neon Green Hair: It fits with her hyperactive personality.
Elon[]
|
"My eyes don't bug out!" |
|
For everything that Myari is, Elon is the exact opposite. Methodical, cautious, and a bit of a worrier, Elon has been tasked with the care of his "best friend" Myari (and what a task it is). When not Myari-sitting, Elon enjoys relaxing and sleeping and other such things that are impossible to do with Myari around. Being raised with Myari, Elon's personality is pretty intertwined with hers. However, he secretly dreams of one day being seen as his own person rather than the other half of the pair. Elon has also come to greatly admire Luero, both in his combat and his great self-confidence.
- Big Brother Instinct: We're introduced to him when he's searching for Myari after she's run off into the dangerous forest. He gives her a severe talking-to, but has her best interests at heart.
- Casanova Wannabe: After seeing how all the ladies loved Rolan, he tries to act smooth. It doesn't go very well.
- Elfeminate: Elon has long, feminine hair kept in a ponytail with bangs framing his face. He also has a long tunic and stylish coat.
- Primal Fear: Cautious and sensible, he's afraid of heights (or at least, walking across a log above a river of indeterminate depth and swiftness). Naturally,the others don't share in this fear.
- You Gotta Have Dark Green Hair: It's similar to his sister's hair in that it's green, but the darker shade shows that he's much more cautious.
Rolan[]
|
"Allow me a single request..." |
|
His full name is Drethalrolan, but he was nicknamed by Tanna early on. Out of the comic's universe, he is also (fittingly) called High Elf Derpy! Rolan is one of the last known High Elves of Fidar. He lives by a strict moral and civility code, and honor has a strong hold on his heart. To most of the Wood Elf women he is a dreamboat, but to Tanna he is just that air-headed jerk who ran into her. He seems to be very genuine in his words and actions, though some believe it to be part of an unknown scheme. His mannerisms are purely based on his native culture, so he does not mean to embarrass Tanna with them in public, but some wood elves tend to poke holes in his attempts at friendship — and perhaps courtship — with "Princess" Tanna.
- Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny: Well, surely he has a right to be distracted by everything around him when it's all a different culture...
- Elfeminate: Rolan has long, feminine hair with many small braids, as well as several earrings. He also has a long, dress-like tunic.
- Hair of Gold: Along with most of the associated character type.
- Pointy Ears: Of course; he's an elf. Due to being a high elf, though, the tips of his ears are sharper and higher than for wood elves.
Donn[]
|
"You talk funny." |
|
Also more affectionately called Donny by his sister, Donn is Tanna's younger brother. Donny is, in some respects, the foil of Tanna. Where she is the rebellious outdoorsy tomboy, he is often found inside studying. His main reason for venturing outside is merely to watch his sister, following her around asking questions. He does not do this to annoy his older sister (though he can sometimes succeed), but rather to learn.
- Cheerful Child: To Tanna's despair, as she has to babysit him. He also always wants to play, and will hold you to your word if you say "later".
- Curtains Match the Window: His hair and eyes are both lightish brown.
- Tagalong Kid
Kanryl[]
|
"..." |
|
This mysterious druidic wood elf (of the clan Dwin'annia, one of the five ruling clans of the village), like Tanna and Zalanna, seems to have a deep and rich history amongst the Wood Elves of Eytherlia. Within dialogue he speaks very slowly, adding to his mysticism. He protects the creatures of the forest as part of his druidic role, for instance by trying to settle Tanna's mother so she does not scare innocent rabbits.
- Curtains Match the Window: His eyes and hair are both pale gray.
- Friend to All Living Things: He isn't ever seen without animals of some kind, and ensures that others do not disturb any creatures.
- Gray Eyes: His eyes show that he's somewhat cold and aloof, often alone except for his animals. The artist exploits their piercing quality by having his face on the "donate" button!
- The Quiet One
