PERSONAL HISTORY AND INFORMATION:              Nightchant doesn’t say much about her old home,
but it was a fairly peaceful holt.  Most of their culture split between the artists, the hunter-gatherers, and
the warriors of dance.  The warriors of dance combined dance and the martial arts.  Nightchant was part of
 that faction.  For a long time, they were at peace with the trolls.  Nightchant Recognized Treeshade, a very
 arrogant gardener, whom she disliked.  She did her “duty” regardless.  In the beginning of her second turn
 of pregnancy, the peace with the trolls ended and battles ensued.  Though pregnant, she fought as she was
 a “squad leader.”  She saw Treeshade cut down, but wasn’t too concerned (though it hurt her soul badly). 
She and the warriors of dance “held the fort” while their people evacuated.  Hindered by a fat belly, she
ended up losing her arm.  She escaped on wolf back, but was separated from her people.  She was found
by a tribe of humans who cauterized her arm, saving her life.  They named her Scathach.  She stayed with
 them for several years until she adjusted, Sundance was born, and grew a bit.  She decided to try and find
 her people so she left her human friends.  Nightchant, upon finding HGI, decided to stay.  The loose group
 of elves was a real adjustment after being from a rigid society, she likes it here.  Nightchant fell instantly
in lust with Shadowmist, but hasn’t done anything about it (doesn’t know what to make of him, but knows
what she wants to do with him).  Nightchant is very friendly and helpful.  Doesn’t like to be thought of as
a cripple and will strike whoever suggests it.  Nightchant has a noble, classy air around her, but isn’t haughty.
 
She is lusty and likes to drink.  She is fascinated by the Nightdancers because of their similarity to the
warriors of dance.  She wants to know more about them.  Nightchant keeps up her dance and her warrior
skills.  She is strong and has lots of endurance.  She loves her child but can’t relate to her or control her. 
She has trouble showing her love, as whenever she looks into Sundance’s face, she sees Treeshade’s eyes.
