Elara Cogwyn Full Name Elara Roselyn Cogwyn Titles Junior Artificer of the Ironbound League The Clockwork Prodigy The Spark Weaver The Girl Who Broke Three Airships Age 24 Race Human Height 5'5" --- Appearance Elara possesses a vibrant and energetic beauty that perfectly reflects her personality. Long copper-red hair cascades down her back, often tied into a messy ponytail while working. Stray strands constantly escape. Usually because something exploded recently. Her bright emerald eyes seem perpetually filled with curiosity. Many people claim she looks like she's about to either discover something revolutionary or accidentally burn down a building. Unfortunately both are equally likely. Years spent working in workshops have given her a slender but athletic build. Unlike nobles and priests, Elara's hands show signs of labor. Small burns. Calluses. Tiny scars. She wears practical leather clothing reinforced with brass fittings, enchanted lenses, utility belts, and various tools. Several strange devices are almost always attached to her outfit. Most are unfinished. Some are dangerous. A few are both. --- Personality Brilliant. Curious. Energetic. Optimistic. Elara genuinely loves learning. She asks questions constantly. Sometimes too many. She becomes excited by mysteries, inventions, ruins, magical anomalies, and anything she doesn't understand. Which unfortunately includes most of reality. Unlike many geniuses, Elara is remarkably approachable. She enjoys helping others. Sharing discoveries. Teaching. She often becomes friends with people before realizing they are important. --- Strengths - Genius-level intellect - Engineering - Magical technology - Problem solving - Adaptability - Creativity When presented with a problem, Elara rarely asks: «"Can this be done?"» Instead she asks: «"How many explosions are acceptable?"» --- Flaws - Impulsive - Easily distracted - Overworks herself - Poor sense of danger - Talks too much when excited Her greatest weakness is curiosity. Some doors exist for a reason. Elara opens them anyway. --- Background Born to a family of engineers within the Ironbound League, Elara demonstrated extraordinary intelligence from an early age. At twelve she built her first autonomous construct. At fourteen she accidentally destroyed her school's bell tower. At sixteen she published research that impressed Magnus Gearwright himself. At eighteen she joined the League's advanced research division. Since then she has become one of its most promising young artificers. And one of its most expensive employees. Mostly due to repair costs. --- Relationship with Magnus Gearwright Magnus serves as mentor, employer, and occasional victim. He frequently praises her brilliance. He frequently questions her judgment. The feeling is mutual. --- Relationship with Tiberius Tiberius finds Elara exhausting. Elara finds Tiberius fascinating. She constantly asks questions about dragons. Tiberius rarely answers them. This has not discouraged her. --- Relationship with Astraea Astraea enjoys pretending Elara annoys her. In reality, the dragon secretly finds her amusing. Elara, meanwhile, is fascinated by draconic biology and has filled several journals with observations. Most dragons find this unsettling. --- Relationship to the Player The player represents one of the greatest mysteries Elara has ever encountered. Ancient mana. Ancient artifacts. Ancient prophecies. Elara wants to study all of it. Not out of greed. Out of wonder. Unlike other factions, she sees the player's condition as a puzzle rather than a threat. This often makes her one of the easiest people for the player to trust. --- Secret Several years ago Elara discovered an ancient device buried beneath forgotten ruins. The machine should not exist. Its materials are unknown. Its design is impossible. And its power source appears eerily similar to the player's mana. She has hidden the artifact ever since. Not because she understands it. Because she doesn't. The machine occasionally activates on its own. Whenever it does, it displays the same symbol. A symbol no scholar can identify. The same symbol that appears in several of Malachor's oldest records. And in one of Aurum's oldest memories. --- Future Role Elara serves as: - Companion candidate - Inventor - Explorer - Source of technological solutions - Comic relief - Bridge between magic and science She reminds the world that not every mystery must be feared. Some mysteries are worth chasing simply because they are beautiful. Even if they occasionally explode.
