ABOUT

Annarrgeal of the Evenstar, fourth of her name, met a young human who stumbled into her family garden. She was barely of age (seventy-one) but was charmed by this human thief. She kept it secret, as this young man kept sneaking in to tell her of his heroics and adventures. She was in love. True, he was human, but many tales told of the romance of falling in love with a short-lived soul. They were like a candle — their flame burned bright even if it was short. Not to mention, he was the crown prince of Eldraine — she never would have guessed. An elf giving up her immortality for a human so romantic... according to all the tales.

Her family was delighted about the youthful affair. The boy, Kenrith, was the heir to the throne, and so one day Annarrgeal would be Queen. They were children, teens at best, but it was embraced in the court as true love. A fairy tale. A true test of devotion.

However, Kenrith matured much faster than Annarrgeal. When he fell in love with a poor human girl who accomplished so many more heroic feats than Annarrgeal... well, it was such a good story. A real fairy tale, Cinderella finding her prince against all odds. Anna was left out in the cold, soon cast as his spiteful betrothed, because she lashed out and rejected his change of heart. She was immaturely jealous, an elven child next to two human adults.

Her ex-lover and his wife grew old, while she stayed young and heartbroken. Not that her parents were sympathetic. It was her failing; losing his heart, losing the crown, acting uncouth and graceless. And then she learned she had an illegitimate sister, Soryn. This solidified for Anna that love was a farce, and fairytales were a joke. Maybe that's why she so badly wants to protect Soryn, even if this strange young woman was a symbol of her patents' hypocrisy. If she can save Soryn from falling into the same trap she did, then maybe she'll do right by one family member.

appearance

Tall and preternaturally graceful. Anna seems to almost float when she walks, and moves a bit slower than expected, as though time's not particularly important to her. She has the pointed ears of an elf, and long, soft hair that falls in waves when it's not done up.

Even at Strixhaven, she's rarely found not wearing gowns, robes, capes and delicate silvery jewelry.

abilities

cantrip magic Anna loves to apply a soft sparkle, like a magical filter, to her clothes and makeup. Conjuring or causing flowers to bloom near her is always a crowd pleaser. Small animals are drawn to her, and the light always seems to land on her just so. Whenever Anna intentionally uses a cantrip, it looks like it comes to her as easy as breathing. However, she's never had much use for practical magic beyond warming up her tea or mending a hole in a bit of silk.

spell list Charm Person: Anna wants to be liked. She wants to be liked so much she might make you like her for up to one hour. She can attempt to charm a humanoid within range. The charmed creature regards her as a friendly acquaintance. When the spell ends, the creature knows it was charmed by her.
Hideous Laughter: This is a truly cruel thing. She knows it is. She still keeps it in her back pocket, and honestly, isn't it so funny? A creature of her choice that she can see perceives everything as hilariously funny and falls into fits of laughter.

Invisibility:

talents

History: Annarrgeal has ambitions, and if you want to be a politician, a ruler of men, you need to know everything about your subjects. She voraciously consumes history books alongside gossip rags. Her ear is always to the ground, and she gathers any information left out in public. The end result is that Annarrgeal knows who everyone is, and all the hottest gossip about them.

Etiquette: As a child, it was drilled into her that propriety is currency, and politeness can get you far. She hides her worst thoughts behind her extensive knowledge of polite society and specific courtesies. Maybe she'd like to stab your hand with that tiny fork, but she also knows which course she should use it during.

extra notes

Soryn Vergrace: Annarrgeal's half-elf half-sister. Anna vacillates between being a protective older sister, and a condescending bully. Soryn represents everything wrong about her family, but there is this undeniable, persistent, kernel of love. Their relationship is complicated, but Annarrgeal's not interested in an intervention. Annarrgeal is particularly cruel to any charmers expressing romantic interest in Soryn.

Kenrith, the Returned King: Annargeal's former betrothed, the beloved King of Ardenvale. He's now a human man in his 50's, with children who are attending Strixhaven alongside Annarrgeal. She likes to pretend they do not exist.

Annarrgeal: Pronounced "AHN-ahr-GEEL". It means "the brightest one". Anna is pronounced "Ahn-ah".

Royal lineage: Annarrgeal is of elven royal lineage, those of the Evenstar, which keep to themselves on the edges of ancient forests in ivory cities adjacent to Garenbrig. These lands are ruled by the giant Yorvo. In his kindness, he did not strip the Evenstar elves of their royalty, since these compassionate elves sided with him in the great uprising.
