In this world Elves are a long lived race that could live up to 1000 years and almost uneffected by aging and looks relatively young until they reach the age of 750. most elves lives in hidden villages in the forests, although some of them lives in advanced Elven cities that has a lot of restrictions to outsiders. In the Elven culture the length and beauty of one's hair is a sign of status and prestige, but this is a lot more prevalent with female Elves, while Male Elves usually has medium to semi-long hair, female elves are expected to have their hair grown past their knees at the minimum, and even meters for the nobility. This is true for Elves that live in cities, but for the elves that lives in the woods they rarely have their hair more than 3 meters for practicality reasons.

Evelyne was a part of the Elven Rangers of Verenwoods, an order of expert marksmen and explorers that guards the forest with the same name. She's comparatively young in elven age and was a prodigy with her archery and forest traversing skills. Like any other female Elves she took pride on lengthening and caring for her hair that almost reached 2 meters in its length, but even with all of that length it didn't effect her skills as a ranger.

But one night as she was patrolling the outer parts of the woods she got attacked by an unknown warlock, with the only recognizable feature of them are their long black and purple cloak, a metal magic staff and sword, and a pendant with a crest depicting a skull with its eyes covered with cloth. Evelyne won the fight, and got the warlock wounded enough to fled, but she got hit by an ancient spell that the warlock casted and it inflict her with a curse.

As she went back to the village the symtoms of curse shows itself as numerous bugs and spiders latch itself to her hair as if they were attracted to it. she tried to get rid of all of them but somehow they kept returning again and again to her hair, it made her lose focus on her archery and made it difficult for her to sleep because of the itchyness of them in her hair, and for whatever reason it also made her hair uncuttable after she tried those methods. even the village's priests cant help her, as any magic and rituals they tried to cure her failed to lift the curse.

Eventually with the fear of it spreading, she was exiled from the village as per request of the village elders and other villagers. for a bout two months now she ventured to human towns and cities, searching for any way to remove the curse from her. Unfortunately for her money would be a constant problem as the supply that the village gave her almost dried up and she has to to odd jobs and rely on donations from wandering elves and half-elves or others that pity her. She's now living in the city of Konstanz in very cheap inns that still accepts her, still looking for any way of curing her curse and still looking for the warlock who cast the spell onto her in the first place. in the meantime her hair grew to around 2,4 meters now in length and dirty from neglect, as she now has countless spiders and bugs crawling in her hair, the only reason for her not to go insane of it is because she's already numb of most of their itchyness.
