Ilyruna Nullahen
A cheerful and calm lady, she tends to appear almost ghostly with her choice of attire and how quiet she tends to be. She also avoids physical contact and will avoid large groups, preferring one one one conversations. She also is a little distrustful of those she doesn’t know and keeps her distance from them physically.
Physical Description
Her long silvery white hair is kept in a ponytail behind her, but she tends to have a few loose strands that come from her forehead which she will brush to either side of her face. Instead of going with dark eye shadow like many women, she opts for white cloudy looks, which match her silvery painted lips and nails and her silver eyes. She also tends to wear clothes and jewellery which follow the silver motif. Her ears aren’t as pointed as her high elf cousins, but are still noticeable.
While she is average height for an elf, that still puts her at taller than the average human, and her frame is not as lithe as most elves, giving her a more rounded look than others. She also has a floral themed tattoo running the entire length of her right arm from the shoulder onto the back of her hand
Physical Quirks
When she is made to wait for something in an area, she tends to resort to pacing, not liking to sit or stand in an area without moving. She also hates to be in large groups or enclosed areas and will move away from such environments at the first possible chance. Although she has an office, she doesn’t like to be in it, and will never close the door and work in the common work area instead.
Clothing Style
Fond of loose and flowing clothing, especially if it’s silvery colored, she will happily show off her body, being more than a little flirty with how she wears it. She tends to stick to a low cut blouse, which she will open as much as is decent, sometimes more, and a short skirt when at work. She also will wear silver jewelry and has a couple pairs of silver colored pumps which she prefers, not liking the longer boots some of her co-workers choose. When she decides to be casual, not much really changes, except there’s usually a lot more showing.
Mental Characteristics
Personal History
Not really having much of a family life, her mother was a consumate partier and literally had her and abandoned her at a rock concert. To this day, she has no idea who she is, or if she’s even alive. There’s a chance her mother was so hyped up on substances, she may not have even realized what had happened. She was picked up by another woman at the concert and legally adopted by her. This woman was quite bitter and angry that this had happened, but instead of blaming her mother, she fell to her ideology, saying that it was the father’s fault, and men in general for allowing this to happen to this poor child. This resentment and hatred towards men was instilled on the young elf, and she grew up into a feminist, believing all she was told. She even attended many feminist protests, including one where someone she was arguing with was viciously beaten by people in the crowd. She has had a fear of large groups ever since, and has never attended a protest since that day.
With only a public education and no money to get anything more, she ended up working as a barista at a local coffee shop, working for a nice married couple who wanted to help her out. She helped one of her friends get a job there, and that friend immediately conspired to file false charges of sexual harassment against the husband. Ilyruna was shocked, and refused to take part, saying the man was innocent, and a good man. As her friend spouted the feminist rhetoric about how all men were bad, she began to realize the error of her ways. When The Devil’s Contract came in to defend the man, Ilyruna immediately told them what her friend had confessed to her. Lucinda, impressed with her honesty and integrity, offered to help her get a better education if she came to work with her, and she eagerly agreed.
Education
Picking up a Four Year degree in Legal Support Services at a local community college, she didn’t get the best marks, but she more than made up for it with her willingness to go the extra mile to get every detail and contingency prepared for.
Employment
Working as just a barista for many years, she knows how to deal with even the most unreasonable person, but prefers to not deal with clients directly. Since she was employed as a Legal Secretary after she graduated, she tends to work with the lawyers directly, and avoids the clients.
Morality & Philosophy
Her whole view of the world is in the process of an evolution. For most of her life, she was taught to believe that men were the problem, and feminism was there to level the playing field, but she saw firsthand that it was just people wanting more power and were willing to lie to get it. She used to be very trusting, but has become much more skeptical of people, always looking to see what ulterior motives someone may have for doing something. As she loves to research, if someone is doing something for less than altruistic reasons, she will find out, and can be almost paranoid about it.
Personality
Motivation
She wants to right some of the wrongs that her former ideology has caused, and now seeing how it has run rampant, will do what she can to help those affected by it. She is staunchly anti-feminist, and as she was raised as one, knows all their philosophies and can dissect what is wrong with them with ease. She also will regularly draft up legal letters with some rather nasty legal threats to publications which publish false information following that ideology.
Likes & Dislikes
She has an odd habit of collecting small silver figurines of all kinds, styles and types. She has over a hundred of them all over her small apartment. She also likes to pull out a tarot deck and do fortune telling, which she used to do on street corners for money as a child. She has a strong hatred of liars and people who make up false accusations, no matter the reason.
Virtues
A strong sense of justice, she will do whatever she can to ensure everyone has access to it, and those trying to subvert justice or use it to hurt others have it visited upon them. She also values honesty more than anything else.
Vices
She is a bit of a flirt with men, especially those she finds attractive, and likes to show them how much she likes them very openly and brazenly, as well as speaking quite openly about it. She also doesn’t hold her tongue around liars or those talking about liars, which is one of the reasons she prefers to avoid contact with the clients.
Quirks
She will avoid small rooms, crowded spaces and even elevators, walking up the stairs instead, having a fairly serious case of claustrophobia. She also will not stand still for any length of time.
Values
She puts great value in compassion and hard work, finding that reflected in her taste in men, where she prefers those in the health care field or manual labourers. She will often cross the street to get closer to men at a construction site to flirt with them.
Sexual Style
Despite being quite flirty, she is loyal and not prone to promiscuity. For her, the flirting is her way of helping give men more compliments, which she feels they deserve. When she is interested in someone, she does make it very obvious, telling him flat out what she wants to do to him. While she isn’t terribly adventurous in what she does, she does like to engage in a little role-playing, usually taking on a role of someone very grateful.
Social
Contacts & Relations
Sadly, she really hasn’t got many friends outside of work. A couple clients that she had met she became friends with, but pretty much that’s it. She has gone to great lengths to get away from her former friends and adopted mother, even filing to have that adoption nullified and changing her name afterwords to escape them. She fills her free time with her animals, and occasionally with Danae, the one person from work she considers a friend outside of work as well.
Social Aptitude
Not good at all in groups, she prefers one on one settings only. While she is a little abrupt and rough around the edges, saying what she feels more often than she should, she does try to be thoughtful towards others. She also tends to talk with her hands, leading to the common joke that she speaks fluent Italian.
Religious Views
Not really following any religion, she used to be an anti-theist, but as softened her beliefs, admitting to herself that she’s not really sure what she believes anymore. She does admit, however, that it doesn’t really affect her life either way.
Mannerisms
Seeming a little paranoid at times, she will keep her distance from people she just meets until she has a chance to size them up and research them. She isn’t above looking up someone’s social media profiles to see how they speak there before she gauges them. She doesn’t, however, go back further than a year, understanding all too well that people’s opinions and attitudes can change. When it comes to comedy, she prefers playful pranks, and loves the silly gags like Just for Laughs.
Hobbies & Pets
In her spare time, she practices Tae Kwon Do, and has earned herself a black belt, realizing that in a big city, she needs to be able to protect herself. She is a little bit of a geek herself, enjoying playing tabletop games and can be often found chatting about this kind of thing with Danae. She also goes to all the curio shoppes in town to find new figures and takes care of her three birds, a mated pair of cockatiels named Wilma and Fred, and their baby, Pebbles, all named after her favourite cartoon growing up.
Speech Style
Not really having much of a filter on what she says, she is just as likely to tell you off as she is to compliment you. She feels that honesty and openness is the best policy and uses common language, despite having a legal education.
Political Affiliation & Activism
Other than online advocacy against feminist policies, she really doesn’t hold any political beliefs, thinking that none of the current parties have it right, they all have a broken view of how things should be. Her only really serious activism is at the local animal shelter, where she spends time with the various animals there, helping to clean up, and socialize them, knowing what it’s like to be abandoned by those who brought you into the world.
