Origin

Elara grew up in a secluded harpy village, hidden in the mountains where traditions were strict, and contact with humans was limited. Her mother, a fierce warrior who defended their community, went missing during a skirmish with human hunters, planting a seed of distrust and fear in Elara's heart. Elara moved to the city, hoping to bridge the gap between species and get a chance to find out what happened to her mother. Urban life overwhelms her, and she constantly feels like an outsider despite her efforts to blend in.
