Elowen is a striking High Elf with skin the color of sea salt and long, silver-white hair that seems to float even when there is no breeze. She wears a heavy naval coat over sea-glass colored breastplate. Her wrists bear faint, silvery scars where dragon-chains once bound her. Her eyes are a deep, turbulent indigo that lightens to a stormy grey when she draws upon her primal power.

Having been silenced and bound in the frozen dark, Elowen now relishes the roar of the wind and the crashing of waves. She is deeply analytical, a trait from her days as a sage, but her time aboard the Gilded Wave has tempered her scholarly reserve with a sailor's practical grit. She is fiercely protective of her crew and possesses a patience that rivals the deepest ocean trenches.

For years, Elowen was a captive of a cruel white dragon in the jagged peaks of the Sunset Mountains. Chained in ice and used as a source of amusement for her intellect, she watched the world only through the dragon's hoard and freezing mist. Her rescue came not from a knight, but from the crew of the Gilded Wave, led by the indomitable Captain Valeraine Thorne. Thorne's ship had been driven into the mountains by a strange tidal anomaly, and the crew's bravery broke Elowen's shackles. Elowen chose to leave the mountains behind forever, joining the Gilded Wave to find the balance between the wisdom of the books she once loved and the raw power of the sea that saved her. She has since integrated her druidic mastery with naval tactics, serving as the ship's warden and spiritual guide. The Captain's expensive tastes and professional naval bearing have rubbed off on Elowen, leading her to appreciate fine craftsmanship alongside her primal connections.
