Character Approval/Duana Ilta

1) Describe your character's backstory. Who are their parents? Did they grow up with Nobility, or were they of lower class? The character's backstory must be at least 2 paragraphs long.

Duana remembers flashes of her parents, names, places, big events. She is the daughter of an elf named Kiron Garret and Luna Koko. She is a child born out of wedlock. Then, after a year of going back and forth she was taken by a woman named Zilla,who raised her until she was 5, then she met Gisela. She was in Atlantis and Duana was with her guardian, almost her mother and they were going to meet someone special. She saw a couple say good bye to their son, leaving him on the curb and walking away.

Then the wife left the husband to talk to a noble man and his wife, the woman who walked over was as cold as a hawk and wearing a prominate smirk. Then, she was light leaping to a stone house that looked like a villan's hideout. She was introduced to the woman, Gisela, and two other male elves, Ruy and Fintan. She was seven, dodging arrows, darts of shadow and bursts of light, all the time trying to diffuse a real bomb, only to stop, do at least 4 more hours of strengthening, studying after and practice with her Shade ability.

She was ten, being led to a mans house, she couldn't seem to focus on his face, he put his hands on her temples and she blacked out, waking up surrounded by a bright light and a killer headache. She was 12, going to the same place and going through the same motions, waking up falling through her bed and her head being filled with thoughts that weren't her own all the time, she practiced forming shadow thorns, a way to use shadows. They melded with tendons in her wrists and almost more painful than shadowflux in another year she could slide it in and out of her wrists and let it pierce a body, letting shadows seep into the victims body, allowing her to control it from inside the body. She could make it rattle and slam into nerves, organs and everything in the body. Duana was raised to do one thing, she was an anomaly, a non-scientific experiment.

She did this for 3 more years....

2) What is your character's personality like? Are they respectable, or rude? The character's personality must be a paragraph long.
