Quote: “You'll never guess what I found!"
Details:
Appearance: Tiny, petite stature, but surprisingly strong due to time spent hiking, moving rocks, and hauling bones with long, dark brown, wavy hair that's always tied up and/or back in some way, usually with pieces falling free. She has medium bronzed skin with a variety of prominent tan lines from different shirts and pant leg lengths. Generally coated in a layer of dirt, it's obvious when she's been laying on the ground with her tools to get at a fossil better and she always wears sturdy, sensible boots, excellent for walking over rocks and loose dirt, avoiding twisted ankles, and keeping her safe from snake bites.
Personality: Simultaneously very focused, but also lets her mind wander while engaged in a task. Has a habit of making up stories to tell herself about the fossils and artefacts she finds. Every new discovery is exciting and she's always eager to tell others about them, even if they seem insignificant. Always carries a pocket notebook to record important information and ideas; it is also full of sketches.
Background: Ellanna spent most of her younger days in the Taniya and Tartok regions of Tokotna, bouncing between her separated parents. Her father was a very traditional man and imparted the many important lessons of the Lore Keeper faction and Mikara Thunderfeather on her, ensuring she would always show the proper respect to history and what it could tell about the future. Time spent with her mother was likewise spent observing nature and studying what was found there, taking vegetation samples back to the woman's lab for further study. "You'll never know what you'll discover today," was the motto, even written on a chalkboard next to the Knowledge Seeker flag on the wall. Later in her life, Ellie took the best of both her parent's lessons to heart and set off to learn about Tokotna, taking in the new places that were discovered by focusing on their history. Her primary focus turned to the plants and animals of ancient Tokotna, taking up a shovel and pickaxe to literally get to the bottom of things. Upon coming to the Fosbir region she declared it the perfect place to uncover history and made it her permanent place of residence, at least for the time being.
Rumors & Gossip:
  • Legally changed her middle name to Bonehead when the nickname stuck amongst her mother's scientist friends.
  • "She talks to the bones, I swear!" - This one probably started after she set a fascinating skull on her table in a local restaurant and spent the whole meal bouncing ideas off of it.
  • She is rumored to be quite wealthy due to the amount of gems and other valuables she's uncovered while looking for fossils, but it is difficult to tell if this is true.
