Appearance

You see Lady Arenglae Amalathia Illistim.
She appears to be an Elf.
She is average height and has a lithesome, nimble build.  She appears to be of a tender age.  She has subtly tilted argent-sheened celestial blue eyes and impeccably radiant lotus white skin.  She has very long, silvered white hair that falls down her back in an austere style, save for two gathered locks pulled forward to drape over each shoulder.  She has a gently sloped aquiline nose and elongated outwardly curved ears.  A subtly strong chin offsets the smooth, soft features gently rounding out her face.
She is in good shape.

A layer of water surrounds Arenglae and ripples with each movement.
You see Lady Arenglae Amalathia Illistim.
She appears to be an Elf.
Resting elegantly on her head is a glacial blue mithglin crown, the metal surface suffused with snow white undertones.  Set along the upper edge of the crown is a line of crystal spikes, the glassy surface of each one carved to appear like an icicle.
She is average height and has a lithesome, nimble build.  She appears to be of a tender age.  She has subtly tilted argent-sheened celestial blue eyes and impeccably radiant lotus white skin.  She has very long, silvered white hair teased and twisted into a high bun stabbed by a trio of miniature lacquered sephwir arrows capped by pewter crescent moons, with several stray strands casually framing her face.  She has a gently sloped aquiline nose and elongated outwardly curved ears.  A subtly strong chin offsets the smooth, soft features gently rounding out her face.
She is in good shape.
Razor-thin shards of solid ice hang still in the air around her form, each piece glinting in the ambient light.
She is wearing a vair-lined cloak of muted azure-on-grey brocatelle, a narrow basket of interwoven glowbark, an eburnean chamois underbust harness over some stark white chamois armor accented with foiled mithglin wisps with an adumbral white falding jupon underneath, some etched mithglin arm greaves, some courtly white silk gloves, a twisted blue vaalin signet ring bearing an elven crest, a front-split alabaster cire silk overskirt featuring snowflake embroidery along the hem with a thigh-length caliginous blue suede underskirt underneath, a cylindrical mithglin quiver containing a bundle of faewood arrows, and a pair of white cotton over-the-knee socks under some sapphire black moulded leather knee-high boots.
Flickering near Arenglae is an arctic fox, its luminous figure composed of niveous energy.  Ears perked forward and eyes agleam, it sniffs cautiously at the air.

Familiars & Other Animals

Kori (kō-ri): a sapphire-eyed silvered arctic fox
Arenglae considers Kori her closest companion. When traveling across the Dragonspine during a particularly cold winter, Arenglae managed to spot the kit huddled beside its deceased mother near several snow-covered bushes. Noting that its mother appeared to have been hunting for her fur only and the remains left, she took pity on the kit, and was allowed to keep her, much to her father's chagrin. Due to her otherwise isolated life, Arenglae doted on the fox heavily, treating it almost as a child, and causing it to gain a not-so-subtle level of spoiledness. Due to their magical bond, Kori has managed to survive over a century with Arenglae, and continues to travel by her side, all the while begging for food, regardless of hunger.
OOC: Kori's name means "ice" in Japanese.

Yuki: a sleek silver fox with oversized paws
Small in stature and delicately boned, the fox has keen eyes that are wide windows into her mischievous nature. Glistening slightly, her nose frequently twitches as she lifts her face to investigate and identify all scents, and when her mouth drops open, she displays the sharpened teeth that are a reminder that she is a predator. She has lustrous silver fur that appears well-groomed and incredibly soft.
Yuki joined Arenglae and Kori in the summer of 5120. The mischievous runt, free-spirited as she is, ran up to Kori one day to play, and continues to do so to this day. Though she is free to roam and embrace her more feral nature, the presence of Arenglae and Kori offer her security, and she is only a bugle call away.
OOC: Yuki's name means "snow" in Japanese.

Tosho (tō-shō): a silver-horned raven-sheened black unicorn
From muzzle to tail, the unicorn is an uncompromising shade of black with a blue-violet sheen resembling that found on a raven's wing. His eyes are onyx-hued, flecked with bits of silver so delicate they seem little more than curls of metallic leafing. His mane and tail are long and silky, and the tufts on his fetlocks bear the same lustrous coloring common to corvids. A subtle shimmer of silver glints in the natural keratinous formation of his hooves, and his horn is a matte-finished argent spiral.
Tosho is one of the unicorns that was released from the dream world after Caligos Isle met with calamity in late 5121, however Arenglae did not acquire him until Lumnea of 5122. Their bond was immediate, and it did not take long for the unicorn to share the dreams of others with her, often placing her into a gentle and peaceful slumber. Much like Kori, it is uncommon for her to be without him as she wanders about.
OOC: Tosho's name means "frostbite" in Japanese.

In-Game Artwork

  • Absonant
Sketched in shades of grey and black, the drawing's bleak design is enhanced by the charcoal medium. A leafless mistwood tree serves as the focal point, though within its trunk two skeletal lovers are entwined, their arms blending with the tree's bare branches and their bodies disappearing into the rotted bark. Hashed lines along the bottom of the drawing depict dodder vine choking the life from the tree. Fingerprints and smudges at the top threaten a storm upon the unfortunate pair.
  • Perspective
The scene is framed within an cage-framed window surrounded by bricks shaded with cross-hatched markings. Beyond the window, two angled lines meet at a single point in the distance, indicating perspective from a tall tower. The landscape appears carefully cultivated, though it is clear mounds of snow and ice cover much of the open ground. Additional walls of ice-covered bricks surround what may be frozen gardens, extending in the distance to that single point.
  • Woven Web
Surrounding the page are tangled ropes creating a border-like effect while framing a figure centered within it. Though the figure's features have been shaded by smudged charcoal, it is clear its body had fallen victim to the web of ropes now binding it, its limbs now contorted into unnatural positions and its head twisted at an odd angle. Some ropes hang down from the top of the page, their fibers curled into sinuous patterns, reminiscent of snakes hanging from trees.
