Personality:
Eilonwy has always been a curious child, wandering the around the castle, the streets, the market places, anywhere she could find really. It frustrated her mother to no end, because she wanted to keep her close where she knew she would be safe. Once upon a time, Eilonwy believed that all people were inherently good, but that view has long since been erased. She enjoys helping people, but recently that's only if she can get something out of it. She has a one-track mind, and right now it's focused on getting Taran back out of her aunt's clutches, and getting revenge on her aunt for kidnapping him and trying to control her in the first place.
History:
Eilonwy was born to Princess Angharad and the commoner Geraint in Prydain. In her early childhood she wanted for nothing. All this changed when she was twelve years old, and the Horned King took her to his castle in hopes that her magical bauble, which had been passed down through the women in her line for many years, could find the Black Cauldron. This is where she meets the boy she later falls in love with, Taran. She finds him while looking for an escape route from the castle, and even though she doesn't think he'll be much help in escaping she lets him tag along. After rescuing an old musician they manage to successfully escape the Horned king's castle and find the black cauldron that the Horned King was looking for. Unfortunately for them, the Horned King soon finds them again and uses the cauldron to summon the dead. Only after one of their friends sacrifices himself that the skeletal soldiers seize rising from the Cauldron.
For a while she lived with Taran and his guardian Dallben at Caer Dallben, studing magic under the enchanter Dallben for a few years before deciding to return to her family, when she is kidnapped and taken to her "aunt" Achren. Achren wanted her to use her magic and the magical bauble she received from her mother to cast a spell her aunt could not and rule Prydain under Achren's control. To ensure her cooperation, her aunt kidnapped Taran as well and sent him to a far off dungeon. Eilonwy wanted to rescue him, but a few days after she found out what happened to Taran the Dark Curse swept over her land and it's inhabitants, and Eilonwy forgot all about him.
During the curse Eilonwy became Elaine Llyr, a student at the local high school. She developed a crush on a boy named Thomas (Taran), and they quickly became a couple. In her free time she often took on babysitting jobs and spent time around Mr. Gold's pawn shop, fascinated by the strange and rare merchandise he seemed to have. To be honest, she was a little jealous of the man who seemed to own the town for having such an interesting job. When she wasn't doing that she liked to spend time at home playing music.
Since the curse broke she has been spending more and more time at the library, trying to find a way to beat her "aunt" and free Taran from her clutches, who quickly re-kidnapped him after the curse broke. She would do anything to get him back, the boy that she's begun to love. She's getting fairly desperate at this point, and there is no line she would not cross.
Likes: Music, dancing, magic, watching people spin on a spinning wheel (she wants to learn herself), baking, getting her way
Dislikes: Achren, the Horned King, close-minded people, failing at anything, using weapons (mainly because she's horrible at it)
