An Elf from Tir Tairngire, Obsidian once had dreams of joining the legendary Ghosts of the Tir Tairngire Peace Force. However, life had different plans for her. Now an exile attempting to find a new life for herself, with only the tools she carries, her talents as a Mystic Adept, her Dryad charms, and her mentor spirit: The Spider. Obsidian juggles her ideals as a Paladin and the ruthless teachings of her mentor. Only time will tell what path she ultimately ends up on. | |||

<h4>Ying Li Wong, Ghost Hopeful </h4> | |||
Born in the halls of Tír Tairngire to Elves Xi An Wong and Yang Long Wong, Ying Li was always enraptured with the Paladins. Following in her | |||
father's footsteps, she joined the Military with dreams of joining the Tir Tairngire Peace Force and become a Ghost. Though she lacked the | |||
physical and learning aptitude that others had, she never-the-less gave it her all, learning etiquette, leadership, art, military techniques, and other | |||
skills and philosophies a Paladin would be expected to know. Despite this, she simply lacked the physical and magical (she had none at this | |||
time) aptitude of being a soldier of the Peace Force...and it seemed her dreams were never to be | |||
<h4>As Things Fall Apart</h4> | |||
Ying Li's hopes were crushed, though not in the way she expected. An instructor at the academy, Paelius Anastastia, pointed out her lack of | |||
aptitude, but promise to approve her for the Peace Force--if she devoted herself to him and his goals. Perhaps in a spur of naivety, Ying | |||
accepted and took the Paladin's Code. Ying Li was happy, but in the end, a member of the Peace Force, perhaps a Ghost one day....this was never to be her fate. On her first action as a police officer, a hostage rescue in a | |||
museum to Tir Tairgngire's history, her lack of experience and skill resulted in several dead hostages and destroyed relics, which stick to her | |||
to this day. To make matters worse, Paelius finally sprung his trap--her named was changed to Caelynn Anastastia and she was to married to | |||
him and serve him for eternity as payment for his approval. On paid leave and now forced to live in his estate, Ying's hopes dimmed. | |||
<h4>The Spider </h4> | |||
Ying does not know exactly when The Spider came into her life...but the strain of her despair....awakened something within her, and | |||
attracted the spirit's attention. With The Spider's guidance, she formed a plan to expose Paelius and bring justice, using techniques not | |||
standard of one who wishes to follow The Paladin's Code. With expert cunning, Ying deceived the guards, manipulated their minds, and | |||
slipped unnoticed into Paelius's room. However at the last moment, Paelius found out and tried to kill her--but Ying had manipulated a | |||
security guard into giver her a sub-machine gun, and with The Spider's Power, she gunned him down. With Paelius dead and evidence in hand, she | |||
ignored The Spider's advice and tried to reveal his wrongdoing to the authorities | |||
<h4>The Last Light Reveals a Heart of Obsidian</h4> | |||
Ying always figured that in the end Good would prevail--she knew she would be punished for joining The Peace Force under false pretense, | |||
but she was more than happy to take the fall if Paelius's crimes were exposed and justice seen. The Spider warned her that the corrupt | |||
elements would sweep her under the rug and redact many of Paelius's crimes. In the end, The Spider was right: "Caeylnn's" evidence was taken in | |||
and filed away from all eyes, and "Caelynn" was placed on permanent leave and exiled. As the exiled elf moved to Seattle with a new | |||
identity,The Spider hoped that this revelation would turn Ying into a scheming trickster, and he was mostly right. The Ying of now is more | |||
willing to bend the rules, more careful of her friends, and is unafraid of utilizing manipulation, deceit, and violence. However, to The | |||
Spider's dismay, Ying never truly gave up on The Paladin's Code and stubbornly refuses to completely let go of the romantic notions she held | |||
as a young teenager dreaming of being a Ghost. | |||

Character Information
Summary
An Elf from Tir Tairngire, Obsidian once had dreams of joining the legendary Ghosts of the Tir Tairngire Peace Force. However, life had different plans for her. Now an exile attempting to find a new life for herself, with only the tools she carries, her talents as a Mystic Adept, her Dryad charms, and her mentor spirit: The Spider. Obsidian juggles her ideals as a Paladin and the ruthless teachings of her mentor. Only time will tell what path she ultimately ends up on.
Goals
Background
Ying Li Wong, Ghost Hopeful
Born in the halls of Tír Tairngire to Elves Xi An Wong and Yang Long Wong, Ying Li was always enraptured with the Paladins. Following in her father's footsteps, she joined the Military with dreams of joining the Tir Tairngire Peace Force and become a Ghost. Though she lacked the physical and learning aptitude that others had, she never-the-less gave it her all, learning etiquette, leadership, art, military techniques, and other skills and philosophies a Paladin would be expected to know. Despite this, she simply lacked the physical and magical (she had none at this time) aptitude of being a soldier of the Peace Force...and it seemed her dreams were never to be
As Things Fall Apart
Ying Li's hopes were crushed, though not in the way she expected. An instructor at the academy, Paelius Anastastia, pointed out her lack of aptitude, but promise to approve her for the Peace Force--if she devoted herself to him and his goals. Perhaps in a spur of naivety, Ying accepted and took the Paladin's Code. Ying Li was happy, but in the end, a member of the Peace Force, perhaps a Ghost one day....this was never to be her fate. On her first action as a police officer, a hostage rescue in a museum to Tir Tairgngire's history, her lack of experience and skill resulted in several dead hostages and destroyed relics, which stick to her to this day. To make matters worse, Paelius finally sprung his trap--her named was changed to Caelynn Anastastia and she was to married to him and serve him for eternity as payment for his approval. On paid leave and now forced to live in his estate, Ying's hopes dimmed.
The Spider
Ying does not know exactly when The Spider came into her life...but the strain of her despair....awakened something within her, and attracted the spirit's attention. With The Spider's guidance, she formed a plan to expose Paelius and bring justice, using techniques not standard of one who wishes to follow The Paladin's Code. With expert cunning, Ying deceived the guards, manipulated their minds, and slipped unnoticed into Paelius's room. However at the last moment, Paelius found out and tried to kill her--but Ying had manipulated a security guard into giver her a sub-machine gun, and with The Spider's Power, she gunned him down. With Paelius dead and evidence in hand, she ignored The Spider's advice and tried to reveal his wrongdoing to the authorities
The Last Light Reveals a Heart of Obsidian
Ying always figured that in the end Good would prevail--she knew she would be punished for joining The Peace Force under false pretense, but she was more than happy to take the fall if Paelius's crimes were exposed and justice seen. The Spider warned her that the corrupt elements would sweep her under the rug and redact many of Paelius's crimes. In the end, The Spider was right: "Caeylnn's" evidence was taken in and filed away from all eyes, and "Caelynn" was placed on permanent leave and exiled.

The Ying of now is more willing to bend the rules, more careful of her friends, and is unafraid of utilizing manipulation, deceit, and violence. However, to The Spider's dismay, Ying never truly gave up on The Paladin's Code and stubbornly refuses to completely let go of the romantic notions she held as a young teenager dreaming of being a Ghost.
Narrative Significant Qualities
Positive
Mentor Spirit, The Spider (Alt): Perhaps one day, history will know whether The Spider's arrival into Obsidian's life was the start of a bright rise, or a tragic fall. While The Spider's teachings conflict with her Paladin's Code at times, The Spider is also the only living thing other than her parents who truly believed in her potential and sought to cultivate it. Obsidian will always appreciate her mentor and will always consider his advice; though she may not take it.
Mystic Adept: When Obsidian Awakened, at first there was no one to guide her. Then one day, The Spider came and taught her to harness her new skill. She focuses her senses with the innate power, and she used her spells for subterfuge and manipulation.
Glamour: With her tall and thin elvish features, her smooth gait, and the silk-sheen of her red hair. Obsidian always has a knack for charming those who meet her.
First Impressions: Equal parts Dryad beauty and charm and the teachings from The Spider, Obsidian leaves a lasting impression on those she interacts with for the first time.
Too Pretty to Hit: Despite her ruthless efficiency with her guns and spells, enemies still sometimes cannot bear to hit the red haired Dryad before them, a trait she uses to her advantage when the need arises. Some Paladins may call it dirty, but then again, not getting wounded does preserve the beauty that is Obsidian herself~
Sharpshooter: When Paelius tried to grab her in his bath gown. Ying used the gun skill developed by her family line since long before the birth of the first elves, and honed by her time training in secret with The Spider. Six bullets right into the heart was all it took. The Paladin's Code may say that it minimizes suffering, The Spider says it maximizes efficiency. For Obsidian, it gets the job done and satisfies both sides.
Negative
Distinguishing Features: The result of her Glamour and eye catching flair does have downsides; her striking red hair is the most distinguishing feature, though people may also notice her deep green eyes, elegant gait, and white skin.
Code of Honor, The Paladin's Code: To The Spider's dismay, Obsidian has not given up on The Paladin's Code. Obsidian's word, when given out, is as pure and clear as her namesake, though those who break and abuse it will know just how sharp broken obsidian can be. Obsidian also does not allow the harming of innocents, and she will respect a heartfelt surrender, though those who abuse the white flag will run out of chances. Finally, Obsidian fully engages in the preservation of art and beauty, a dying concept in this world of corporations and monochrome, but to Obsidian it makes such acts all the more important.
Flashbacks (Deaths of Innocent Elves, the Desecration of Art, History, and Beauty): Obsidian suffers from PTSD from her first action as a Police Officer, where she failed to rescue hostages from an art museum. The deaths of innocents and the destruction of art and historical relics still clings to Obsidian's Heart.
Symbiosis: Obsidian used to attune to her parent's house in Tir Tairngire, though that is no longer a possibility. She is starting to attune to her surroundings in Snohomish, though with her frail constitution...it may take awhile.
Prejudice to Trolls: Her first experience with Trolls came in Seattle's seedy underbelly. Her limited experience with them combined with Elven propaganda that Trolls are incapable of Beauty and Honor has left a negative impression of them in her mind. While she rarely if ever voices them, as it would not be becoming of one who follows The Paladin's Code to say such things, she is none the less eternally wary of working with and against Trolls.
