Strength. Duty. Service.
Every child of the Empire is raised on these screeds. All must serve. All must contribute. Loyalty to the Empire above all. Ellona was no exception. The third child of the Baron Jorel, she was always expected to do her part, like her older brothers did. Learn, train and serve, for the good of everyone in the Empire. The Jorel family were all marked for military service from birth and Ellona was to be no different.
Struggle is the father of all things. Ellona would prove that to her parents. Unlike her older brothers, who were diligent and dedicated to the extreme, Ellona was a harder nut to crack. She proved quick minded, which was a blessing and a curse. Clever, but quick to speak too. Too quick for her own good. Nonetheless, she applied herself to her training well. A natural gymnast, she trained hard in-between her educational pursuits. She received favourable reports for her schoolwork and her loyal, collaborative behaviour. Aside from some small niggles, it seemed like Ellona was going to be a good daughter of the Empire.
Until the visions started.
They started as she entered her adolescence. At first, they were little flashes of something in the twilight just before sleep. Then, as she grew older, they became stronger. Visions of worlds without struggle and strife. Visions of different beings, in peace and then at war. Sacrifice, bravery, courage in all sorts of new, different forms. And always, always somewhere in those visions, a silver tree.
She never told anyone, scared stiff of being caught. Ellona thought that if these visions were discovered, she'd be taken away. Worse, her family would suffer and lose their status because of her. Unfortunately, or luckily, she is on the cusp of something greater than herself.

Ellona is a teenage human girl with dark, long hair and fair skin. She has brown eyes and a smattering of freckles on her skin. Her hair is kept long but usually worn in a neat braid to keep it out of her way. She has a firm, fierce stare that melts away whenever she smiles. She tries not to do that often, though. It wouldn't suit the image of the perfect aristocratic daughter.
Ellona tends to wear conservative, functional clothing as befits the culture of Kalidan and her position in society. Her school uniform is highly militarised and she spends most of her time in that, or in her training and workout gear. She feels ambivalent about more personalised, expressive or colourful clothing. On the one hand, it's selfish, showy and useless to society. On the other hand, she'd quite like to stand out and be herself a little more, even though it'd mean a harsh punishment at best.

Strengths and Weaknesses
+ Bright - Ellona is a bright, quick-thinking young woman with commendations for her academic ability.
+ Gymnastic - Ellona is naturally dextrous and has spent her childhood training.
+ Secretly Silly - Shhh... don't tell anyone. Ellona actually likes to laugh, even though it isn't common. Not the laughs that she likes, anyway. One of her older brothers is an expert at horrible, awful jokes and puns.
- Family Ties - Ellona grew up in an aristocratic family on Kalidan. She was raised to look up to her older brothers, who both serve in the Military, and to respect the sacrifices that her forebears have made. Going against her family will be difficult.
- Loyalty to the Empire - Ellona still feels loyalty to the Empire, even as the visions hint at a different future to her. Such ties will take time and effort to break.
- Quick tongue - Ellona sometimes speaks before she thinks. It has earned her plenty of scorn from her family and instructors.
