Elly is a small, wide-eyed gnome with vibrant copper hair that seems to move on its own accord. She wears several layers of oversized travel gear and always looks like she just witnessed a small explosion. Her pockets are constantly jingling with weird stones and moss she collected while hiding in the woods.

Elly is perpetually nervous and speaks in rapid, run-on sentences. She treats her own magic as if it were a stray animal that followed her home, both terrified of it and strangely protective. She assumes everyone else knows what they are doing and often follows the loudest person in the room.

Elly spent her early years in a quiet gnome burrow. Her life changed when she accidentally teleported the village Elder's prized pig onto the roof of the town hall. Realizing her magic was unpredictable and dangerous, her family sent her to live with a wise hermit in the Whispering Woods. For years, she lived in isolation, trying to suppress the static that hummed in her blood. The hermit taught her to observe the world rather than try to control it, but the old man eventually passed away from age. Alone in the woods, Elly's power grew until she couldn't contain it anymore. She left her hermitage not to find adventure, but to find anyone who can explain why the air turns purple when she gets frustrated. She wanders from town to town, terrified that if she stops moving, her magic might finally catch up with her and do something she cannot undo.
