Physical description: The very tip of her head barely reaches her daughters elbows. She always seems to be smiling. She has green eyes, but on occasions they will turn into a mixture of red, orange and yellow. Her brown hair goes down to her waist, kept in a dread locks. Her skin is a dark tan. She also walks with a limp on her right side. She wears jeans that go down to her knees only, for some reason a short sleeved dress shirt, a tan leather apron, tan leather gloves, and occasionally tan sandals.
Personality: She reacts to everything, just not the way you’d expect. A compulsive liar. She’s a recluse and is happy to spend long periods of time by herself. She’ll hold a grudge for a long time before she’ll forgive (sometimes playing a trick to get even).
Past history: In ancient times, before magic was lost, Hephaestus was a great blacksmith. Though he was skilled in all trades of creation, most went to him in order to have weapons and armor made. These weapons and armor were specially made for the wielder, and so none but them could hold or wear the item unless given express permission. Not only that, these weapons would hold one or more special talents, such as the inability to harm the wielder. His greatest creations were the swords Jinken and Kuroken. Both of these swords defense and offence abilities were the most powerful of all weapons created by Hephaestus. No one is sure who asked him to create these swords, or if he felt the need to make them on his own. When magic faded from the world, so did Hephaestus.
His spirit was reborn into a girl who was named Elda. Elda grew up to love making things. Her focus shifted to blacksmithing and, though she created other things as well, she loved to make weapons. When she was growing up she use to talk about seeing fanciful creatures, which at the time would be considered fairytales, and was sent to psychological treatment centers on a few occasions. She learned to keep her mouth shut about it. Her parents were a violent couple, and she moved out on her own when she was 15. Because of her experiences growing up she became a recluses, and sometimes honestly doesn’t seem to know the difference between good and bad.
She assisted a blacksmith until she felt sure she was ready to start a business of her own. Her weapons became popular and in high demand. Though she held an oddity of only making one weapon for each person, no matter how much money she was offered. Hephaestus’s spirit had been stirring within Elda throughout her life, but he fully awakened when The Breaking happened and magic came back into the world, and when he ‘takes control’ Elda’s eyes change color. After The Breaking some of Elda’s previously made weapons talents came out. From there the demand was so high she went into hiding. Her shop in The Mall can only be found by those who have a weapon calling out to be made for them, or by those who have been there before. She doesn’t ask for payment for her work, only expects the materials to be paid for.
She had Jemelia and the age of 19. Raising Jemelia by herself, her eccentricities seem to have deeply impacted Jemelia’s personality.
The Freemont family had a liking to her weapons and had a few created for different family members. After Caly was saved by Mana, they came to have a weapon made. Elda created a Crescent, which will always return to the wielder’s hand and never harm the owner.
