SPECIAL POSSESSIONS: Lace owns a basket filled with all sorts of tools to make clothes, she would take that everywhere and it would be the first thing she remembers to take with her. And she still owns pieces of coral and shells from her birth-place.


ABILITIES AND SKILLS:
ABILITIES: a remarkably strong empathy sending voice, which feels cool and smooth like satin. She can calm others when needed. It is the opposite of Dark Sending! Call it White Sending. Lace can use her "White Sending" for various things, calm a person who is terrified, help with healing (ease a troubled mind and heart) or help people who are traning their magic, give them the rest they need to grow stronger. She can shield others from Dark Sending and can project herself to others far away.

SKILLS: using preserver silk as well as plant fibers, Lace is an extremely talented spinner, weaver, clothing designer and tailor. She has impeccable fashion sense, but doesn’t fault those who choose to wear simple or rough outfits – she knows the value of practicality as well as beauty. She does not generally work with leather as far as the tanning or creation of leather from hide, but she will certainly incorporate leather, fur, shells, scales and feathers into almost any piece. Learning more and more about the 'Land-elves' has made her curious to how they make clothes and at times combiness their style with hers. She has been trading furs and leather for some of her own creations and fabrics.

FAMILY: TBD, her parents are likely dead)

ORIGIN: the tribe she originates from took ocean-lifeforms as an example and shaped their body to survive in the Vast Deep Water. They still looked like elves, but with fishlike features. They took refuge on a archipel where they lived happily, untill a great tidalwave destroyed their living area. Lace was taken by the waves and after wandering she one day found Ocean’s Edge Holt. It is unknown if others of her tribe have survived…..



PERSONAL HISTORY AND INFORMATION:
PERSONALITY: Lace one of the Sea Elves who spends far more time on land than in the water, Lace lives up to her name. She is complicated, detail-oriented, and a perfectionist. Lace is not much of a flirt, but prefers male company (and to watch them), isn’t interested in taking a female lover. Lace has a firm way with anyone when she needs to get a point across, though not to the point of sounding annoyed or aggressive – any aggression she has, she puts into the details of her work instead of fuming or arguing.

PERSONAL HISTORY: Lace has spent the better part of her life perfecting her skills with fabrics, and it shows. She’s gone through phases: some years she enjoys making heavy, thick material fit for draping and tapestries, others she’s concentrated on impossibly fine lacework that is all but sea foam in look and feel. She will often ask members of other tribes to find her new plants or minerals with which to dye her threads, or to find her the ‘perfect match’ for an item such as shells, crystals or pearls.
One day Lace was searching for new materials and in her walk she ended up at the top of the Cliff, high above the entrance of the cave. Finally she had found new flax to twine new yarn from. So busy pulling the flax out of the ground she didn't noticed she was too close to the edge. And with one hard pull she lost her balance, slipped and fell over the edge. On her way down she grabbed at everything, trying to break her fall.
Her tribesmen were shocked as they heard a loud thumb and found Lace all broken and covered with blood. Fortunatly they had a good healer, it took her the better part of a day to heal Lace and more sessions were needed before her body was completely healed. Her recovery was hard and painfull and it took Lace over two turns of the seasons to learn how to walk again, still to this day her legs hurts after a long day of hard work.
In the beginning she was afraid to go up the cliff again, but she wanted to face her fear, after climbing the cliff each time a little further, she now is able to enjoy the view again, though she never will loose her fear of heights.
After the Great Tidalwave she was taken far away from her birthtribe and she doesn’t know if any are alive. She travelled hrough the waters and searched for many moons untill she felt magic being used nearby. She had reached Ocean’s Edge Holt.

LIKES: preservers for their uses, but not for their shrill voices! Calm, but cool days (prefers overall coolness than a breeze); listening to songs and stories while she works; has a distinct weak spot for pretty crystals and loves geodes.
DISLIKES: hurricanes, tidalwaves, grit getting everywhere, gore (have you seen what bile does to silk?)

ANY OTHER INFORMATION: As old/young as she is, she is intrigued by the 'Land-elves', specially the wild ones who hunt like predators and finds them fascinating. She knows that they prefer more sturdy leather and fur then her delicate creations, but she always offers to fix anything that their own tailor or tanner has not yet, if there are rips or holes to be found.

Lace has not Recognized, and although she says pips are clumbsy, messy and distractive, she loves it when they come to her and ask her for small pieces of cloth or leather, so they can make something for their own. She loves to teach them how to make something. A few pips have a kind of doll, so they try to make something for it. She doesn't know if she ever wants a pip of her own, for now her life is full.
If and when Recognition (or outside Recognition) will give her a pip, she will deal with it then.

COLORS\SYMBOLS: she has a pattern over her body, like a discusfish, not covering her whole skin, but here and there like a ribbon.
