Melune Galefoot - Elven Huntress

The Galefoots were once a proud family of the Outlander Elves, those who lived within the old ways as the first Beremeni did, ungoverned by their supposed king, left alone to their devices. Melune was their youngest child, born only a few years before the death of her father. In his place, Melune was raised in the ways of lore, bow and blade by her eldest brother Sindelian, and the two forged an unbreakable bond. She became one of the greatest huntresses of their tribe, owing to the tutoring her brother had given her. The love of the siblings was powerful, and though Melune saw Sindelian as the closest thing she had to a father, her potential suitors did not see it so, and held no respect for him. In times where suitors would be obliged to earn the favour or respect of the father of their muses, few gave consideration to earning Sindelian’s respect, instead wishing to launch themselves into betrothal without the approval of the eldest male of the family. Many heated arguments arose from this, with one particularly foul one exploding between Sindelian and the eldest son of a family close to their own. Two days later, the son was found dead, having suffered a dozen stab wounds. The blame was quickly placed on Sindelian, and though he proclaimed his innocence, no one could provide word where he was the night of the killing. Sindelian thus fled, before he was taken before a tribunal, or the family of the deceased might choose to enact their own justice against him. Far south into the civilized lands of his kin, Sindelian retreated, where his people would dare not follow. Save for Melune. She found him there, and the pair trekked in folly along the roadside for sometime, until they were found by a peculiar man, one who spoke their tongue as if it was their own. Sabre, he called himself. He was surprised to find two Outlander Elves so far from their home, and after hearing their tale, offered them a place where their skills could be put to use and they could forget about the home that they could never return to. Now the pair have travelled with the mercenaries for several years, having grasped the Centrali tongue, and earned their own place within the band of elite misfits.
