Name: Shale Ahneahe
Shale was named after the strong rock and given a human name by her elven mother Mellen.
It should be known that Ahneahe is a telrainain last name made up by her grandmother Eline Mysthma to save her father Zathire and aunt Aeyine from being recognized as the dreaded and hated Wolf-Fang Clan they and Shale's grandfather Ortis belonged to. Zathire and Aeyine are also telrainian names.
Nick Name: None
While Shale has no official nick name, she is often referred to as 'Spawn of the Beast' by dark elves after proving a capable fighter at a young age many are convinced both she and her father are some form of demon. She is also known as 'Champion' by the people in Farstone where she served as a gladiator. Being that she is of more than one race she is often simply called by the race that not akin to the speaker, such as 'Elf' or 'Barbarian'.
Race: 50% Elf, 25% Telrainian, 25% Mountain Barbarian
Elf attributes: Elves have many distinct advantages. They mock humans in any feet of dexterity or speed. Though they are on average weaker and much more feminine. There skin is often a pale yellow much like the color of cream or butter. They also stop aging somewhere between 16-22 and remain in that youthful state for as many as 400-600 years before they slowly age and on average die in their early 700's. Elves also have an innate ability to heal and manipulate plant life as well as a region in their brain that allows them to control the growth and movement of plants as if an extension of their body. Plant magic stems from life force and it takes massive amounts of willpower and multitasking to even reach the point of being able to train in this most difficult art of magic. As for their origin elves are descendant beings of fertility and life and the largest of the fairies. They do not have wings nor immortality but they still remain able to heal any scars over time and have massively extenuated lives. As beings of nature they are 100% immune to light magic, and four times more vulnerable to dark magic than a human.
Telrainian attributes: Telrainian people are a dark skinned desert tribe of people that build their homes in cliffs. They are not very adapt for war so they have mastered skills in avoiding their enemies. Telrainians are known to have incredibly strong fingers and grip in general due to generations weeding out all but the strongest of rock climbers. There bodies are extremely strong for their size and often lanky and small. Most of their food is gathered from fishing from a nearby sea.
Mountain Barbarian attributes: Shale is a member of the Wolf-Fang barbarians. They are a hearty people built to brave the harshness of the snow. They are bigger boned and thicker skinned. Their metabolism is overall higher due to a need to produce more body heat than is normal for the average human. In these mountains live some of the strongest largest and heartiest of all men. These people share a love for war, and celebrate battle to the point complimenting their killer. Cold is no problem to these folk, nor is eating large portions of meat that might tear a normal human's belly in two. They are not known to have any manners or etiquette and are often branded unintelligent because of their reputation as savages. There are three main warring tribes all which have exhausted their numbers to mere hundreds making these some of the rarest people on earth. They are The Wolf Fang, The Bear, and the Half Tusked Boar. Among these people there are the few who sometimes become known as the legendary fighters known as berserkers, fighters so fierce that when faced with any troll or demon they will exceed it's strength. They are know to rip the arms clean off men and fight to the point of turning off their brain's muscle limiters and ripping their own durable bodies apart. However berserkers are known as cursed souls, because rarely does anyone ever berserk twice. It is said when a berserker dies they die standing up and all that surrounds them is death, be it friends or foes.
Appearance:
- Height: 5'11
- Weight: 120 lbs
- Eyes: green
- Hair: brown
- Skin: light tan
- Age: 22
However appearances aren't everything, while her height which is slightly less than both her mother and father is accurate, her weight is actually 190 lbs. This is due to unique proteins within her body that she inherited from her father who had a unique mutation when the strengths of his mother's power rock climbing genetics were bred with his father's might barbarian genetics. As it was within Thor's blessing the strengths from both genes were combined forming a more more durable and heavy cellular structure. Each muscle cell contains as many as four times the number of cytoskeletons which improves contractile strength and durability. Her green eyes are not just normal eyes. They posses the immense pinpoint long distance precision of the elves and Shale can identify the color of someone's iris from as far as two miles away. Not only can she see two miles away she can also carry conversations with other elves two miles away speaking no louder than a humans would while sitting together for dinner.
As for her brown hair, it is also very silky and fluid, having no curls and slightly more durability in its protein structure as a result of beneficial fusing of human and elven genes. As of now, Shale's skin is light tan, taking on the hybrid color that lies in between her mother's pale yellow elvish skin and her father's unnatural orange skin. A unique feature to her skin is it is as hard as callus; one might think she was a farmer though due to her elven inability to retain scaring, her skin remains flawless and silky smooth despite how hard and especially firm it has gotten. Lastly despite appearing 22, Shale is in fact 46 and will continue to look 22 for hundreds of years to come.
Powers: Plant magic
Inherited by her mother Mellen, Shale posses dominion over all plants. This includes the ability to manipulate their growth, heal them, accelerate their growth at explosive speeds, resurrect them from dead plant material and mix and match species.
It was actually never expected that Shale would ever be able to posses this incredibly difficult skill to master. Not many half-elves have ever existed in history due to elves' extreme racism against humans in thinking that they are an inferior species. Of the few stories of half-elves that have existed none have ever possessed anything more than what might be considered a green thumb in gardening. Shale however was not the daughter of just any ordinary elf. She was daughter of Mellen; strongest wielder of plant magic to have existed in the last 300 years of any elf or druid. The contest was held when her mother was 62, now Mellen is 127 and her power has been growing by leaps and bounds. Many already believe Shale's mother may in fact be the strongest wielder of plant magic to have existed in the entirety of time.
Due to a blessing by Thor, Zathire's mutated genes were meant to fuse with elven ones and as if fate, it was his nature to obsess and nearly worship their existence. What's more is as her father was a rare berserker Shale adopted the immense will power most humans can never posses, a key ingredient to wielding plant magic. In fact the will power of a berserker is said to be able to break a god according to the legend of Hrothos, the first berserker.
After long enough Shale was not only able to posses and control this magic, but was able to surpass all the elves in her tribe except those of her family. Someday Shale plans to surpass her mother though as of yet despite Shale's immense progress her mother continues to widen the gap and leave Shale even further behind in the dust.

Additionally Shale, kills anyone or anything which includes swords that come in contact with her mind or soul. As the madness and willpower of the berserkers are so intense and so unwelcoming to even fiends that feed off hate it swallows them in a figurative sea of fire. In instances of being struck by a weapon, the weapon will begin to boil and melt, sometimes shattering, however Shale's soul and mind are impervious.
Not only does being a berserker make her immune to mind control and destroy anything that touches her but she also is immune to light magic. But what adds to this is the fact that she goes past being immune, she is able to absorb attacks composed of light magic into her own mana. Not only to attacks do no damage, but healing spells of this nature are twice as effective.
It is said that: "Darkness corrupts, kills and feeds off nature," "Natures flourishes in the light," and that "Light shines brightest in the darkness." This is used to describe the balance wheel of the three primary magics.

Personality: cheerful, mean, a tease, pitiless
Shale is very hard to put in a bad mood, often when someone insults her she simply has something clever to say that will throw them off and either earn their respect or make them look foolish. If its one thing she will grumble about it's when she gets hungry. Despite her diminutive stature people who get to know her often begin to keep a healthy fear and distance due to her immense strength and large level of apathy for the safety of others.
Shale was the product of very bad parenting. Well in some senses she was the product of the best parenting, but as far as learning to respect others she couldn't have asked for worse. Starting with her elven mother Mellen, Shale was loved but was also taught pride in being an elf and shown the many natural gifts and abilities as well as respect for nature that made her people superior to humans. This led to a heightened sense of vanity and racism. With her father lost and unknown to her, Mellen had brought her to an old warlock that had adopted her father. He was actually a retired tyrant that conquered towns and crushed all that was weaker than him. He had taught Shale the importance of hard work, planning, and even a bit of science. What he did not teach her that a weakness of any kind was an acceptable thing. Making sure she prepared her mind just as much as anything else. Then there was her next 'mother', when Shale was kidnapped by an infamous warrior known as 'Blood of the Night' that had massacred castle towns leaving only severed bodies of guards, men, women, and children in her bloody wake. This kidnapper may have sparred with her and brought out Shale's inner talent as a dextrous elf allowing her to match speed and skill with the fastest killer the humans had to offer but it was not an experience to teach her mercy. Failure was often punished with a huge cut, luckily or unluckily this killer was a bit of a split personality and had taken up healing as a failed attempt to overcome the monster within her. This meant Shale's body could be cut up several times to the point of death, over and over again. Ironically it was Shale that kept challenging this human, refusing to be defeated even as child less than five years old. Despite being kidnapped Shale trained on her own listening to tales her mother had told her of her father, wishing someday to become as strong as him and keep her motivated and stoic to never give up. Eventually Shale did manage to run away. This is where she trained with her father's clan the Wolf-Fang. They taught her that politeness and hesitation are weakness. Here she learned to take what she wanted without asking at the table. It was a said rule that the weak go hungry and leaving your plate unguarded was punished by the hands of those willing to take what you had. The barbarians had taught Shale strength in the form of rugged perseverance that one never surrenders nor complains. As of such Shale has no sympathy for weaklings, in fact they disgust her, this is only reinforced by her elven racism that taught her the importance of looking down on those beneath her.
History:
Shale 1: Age 2.5, the clothing reflects the elven garments as she was raised by her mother, her hair is also slightly lighter much like most children are born.
Shale 2: Age 3-4, the white clothing was provided by her kidnapper, the glum face reflects the sadness and animosity of being separated from her true parents.
Shale 3: Age 4-6, the clothing is black to rebel against her kidnapper's white attire, she also is becoming stronger than her kidnapper and using heavier weapons such as a hatched and short sword. This is also the point at which the young half elf runs away from home and ends up fighting four dark elves. She discovers her inner strength and progresses into a mild form of berserking and strangles a dark elf summoner with her own whip.
Shale 4: Age 6-12, Shale is happily reunited with her family, her clothing bares the sign of her barbarian leather, whilst her pants are actually the make of a strange species known as yuki that Shale becomes fond of.
Shale 5: Age 12-16, Shale becomes so strong that she actually duel wields sledgehammers the same way she had fought with cleavers. Truly excelling in proving one can be both strong and fast.
Shale 6: Age 16-19, Shale's skin grows pale as she returns to the forest life to try and expand upon her elven side, she eventually goes exploring using a grey cape as a traveling blanket in search of as many plants as she can possibly discover and grow.
Shale 7: Age 19-20, Shale found she was so indoctrinated in the art of war she had to fight so she began to join an arena in the Cunthar jungle where the fighting is rough and the weapons gnarly. The rough leather and expanded muscles as well as deepened tan are all side effects of this. As well as Shale practicing her abilities to dodge and get as close to danger as possible left her with many scars.
Shale 8: Age 20-45, After defeating the Cunthar tournament Shale headed to the civilized lowlands covered in armor she made and began to fight. Soon she became Champion killing everyone in her ring until she became both a hero and lack of suspense. In this time Shale had grown rusty fighting low level opponents, though she did master using a shield as well as fighting without magic.
Shale 9: Age 46, Shale had filled out and recovered from her scars, her body had become bigger healthier and more feminine. She began to make her clothes and smithed her own armor to reflect both elven and barbarian traits
Shale 10: Age 47-48, who knows what the future holds, but here is a preview.
