Character development - 'Elven princess' Velia Tio Manera

Fleshing out this character took a sharp turn early in development, going from nameless travelling mage to a princess of a military tribe/state. With her people living off the land, mainly dressing in leathers, and linen.
Their race very much prides themselves in keeping to their roots while adapting the technological advancments of their neighbours. As royalty, she is to upkeep the illusion of nobility to their political allies and enemies alike, not letting even an ounce of their primarily carnivourous, aggressive nature slip through.
But alas, she's not in the line of succession, despite her title. Later on joining rebel forces to overthrough the tyrant queen. She's to be named queen, should the rebels suceed and as is their tradition, has a part of her hair dyed red, as when one becomes rightful ruler their full head of hair is to be dyed.

Alongside her several other characters were fleshed out, including Kaeso, a bigger, more beastly branch of their race, born for fighting, and Eranyx, born of noble descent, rebelling against the crown and looking to establish his own legacy.
