Elaysha "Ecstasy" Waterlace

"Remember, my child: without innocence this world is only a cruel mirror, our dreams are nothing more than illusions and the Weave is only a name..." Matria Shilis Waterlace, mother of Elaysha

'''Being a daughter of the matria, Elaysha is very sensitive to her surroundings. She always tries to understand people's feelings and goals. However, hard times for aurin have left it's mark on her and she understands that the love in nature can not be separated from continuous struggles for survival. Despite that, she is very cheerful and, maybe, a bit light-headed person that considers "fighting" like some kind of a deadly but beautiful dance. '''

'''In aurin society Elaysha is very devoted to aurin traditions and queen Myala Everstar, who long ago helped her to find a light in the life. She will never tolerate any doubts about matrias and queen's authority and the choice to leave Arboria.'''

= ♒ Childhood in the Underworld ♫ = Elaysha was born on Arboria in the underground village, called Underlake. Her mother Shilis Waterlace, a matria of this village, was very proud of her first child being a girl with high physic potential and was hoping that Elaysha will one day follow her steps. Because of that she was quite strict with her daughter, but, unfortunately, everything were not going very smoothly. Elaysha grew up as a very cheerful and disobedient child. She didn't recognize any prohibitions and was poking her nose into everything, often causing a lot of troubles.

Growing older, Elaysha and with her friends have started sometimes to run away from adults and exploring underground tunnels. During one of such journey, they went too deep in the tunnels and came across lair of giant spider-like creatures. In panic, children tried to flee but that has provoked only monsters to attack... what happened after is still unknown. When hunters found missing children, all of them were heavily injured, except Elaysha, who looked totally unharmed though in a big shock.

However, soon after this incident the behavior of Elaysha has changed dramatically. She became very disciplined but at the same time aggressive. Having a lot of friends, she started to avoid them and, if it was possible, she tried to stay alone all the time. Shilis carefully observed the changes in behavior of her daughter but couldn't find out what has happened. So, eventually, matria decided to send Elaysha to the Surface - to the village Heavenleaf near roots of the Mother Tree, where, perhaps, the master-healers could help her daughter.

= ☀ Life on the Surface ❀ = Life outside caves was suprisingly different comparing to what Elaysha was familiar. However, even Heavenleaf's healers weren't able to cure her. All, what they found, was strange instabilities in her weave flow. It seems not to be very dangerous to Elaysha life but it was decided that she should stay in the Heavenleaf village and train as esper under healers observation. During the first few month of trainings she still remained very unsociable. But one day, walking outside the village, she accidentally met a young aurin princess Myala Everstar. It was quite a suprise for Elaysha but princess found her story very interesting and showed a great care about her. Myala promised to visit her later and soon after started to visit her regulary. Not to say healers were glad of this but, unexpectedly, those meetings started to slowly normalise Elaysha's life and improved her mental condition.

Years later Elaysha has fully completed training as esper and learned how to control herself. Also she became very devoted to the new-crown queen and decided to join Myala's the company in the Royal Grove. But to do that, Elaysha had to receive a blessing from her mother and native tribe, so she went back to the Underlake village.

Soon after Dominion launched an attack of Planet Reapers to Arboria and, in all that chaos, the trace of Elaysha was lost untill evacuation.

= ☮ Among Exiles ☣ = Sadly, a little is known about Elaysha's history on the Arkship. Though many Aurin was studing basic Exiles technologies, Elaysha stood aside from them and later joined mordesh alchemists in alchemy studies. Nobody knows how she did that and why mordesh has excepted her in their ranks but soon she became known and respected among mordesh closed societies as Ecstasy.

After the fleet has started heading Nexus, Elaysha with others went to cryo-sleep.
