Biographical
Following the downfall of House Mavanix 5 years past, Elza vanished without a trace for some time. Cartius eventually sought her out and persuaded her to return to the Felstar family and help rebuild. Though her relationship with her father is marked by drama, there also appears to be an unwavering loyalty present as well. She has since returned to Gridania, her primary focus on charity related matters on behalf of the Felstar clan via a small band of privately funded mercenaries known as Sanctum.
Name
Full Name: Elza Ashfen Felstar
Nicknames: El, Elly
Pronunciation: El-zah Ash-fen Fell-star
Origins: Elza's name originates from the name "Elysia," which roughly tranlsates to "blessed home." Her mother's last name, Ashfen, is the primary surname she uses despite actually being a Felstar. She has started to embrace the Felstar last name a bit more as of late though.
Appearance
Height: ~5' 8"
Weight: ~133 lbs
Body: Slim and well toned due to regular physical training.
Hair: Indigo colored, straight, semi-long.
Eyes: Brown.
Skin: Moderately tanned, no visible scars.
Clothing: Usually wearing tight fitting leather armor. Never seen in mage’s cloths or heavy armor. She wears some upper-class outfits only when necessary for meetings and events.
History
Elza was raised by her single mother, though Cartius often paid secretive visits and tried to help financially when able. Elza's mother often rejected the handouts and even tried to reject Cartius from visiting at all. As a child, however, Elza relished her father's visits. This sentiment would later fade as she grew older and realized how distant he really was from her life.
Much of Elza's past remains known only to her. She spent her early adulthood trying to make her own way rather successfully through gambling and coliseum fights in Ul'dah under the alias 'Black Queen.' Cartius approached her several times over this period of time in an attempt to pamper her with his wealthy lifestyle. Elza, angered by her father's absence in her life and over his keeping her existence secret from the world, rejected Cartius every single time.
During a trip across the sea, the ship Elza was riding crashed due to low visibility from a dense fog. While nobody was hurt, nothing but wreckage remained and the ship's small crew ended up stranded on a deserted and uncharted island for two moons. When all hope seemed lost, it was Cartius himself who discovered Elza and the other crew members and rescued them. Little did Elza know that the entire incident was setup by Cartius himself to make him look like a hero to his daughter in his attempt to win her over, with some degree of success.
When Cartius was briefly believed to be dead, Elza was named by his will as matriarch of House Mavanix much to everyone's surprise. Elza's existence, after all, was known to nobody at the time. It was here that Elza had a front row seat to House Mavanix's downfall before finding out Cartius was actually alive and the orchestrator of the house's demise. She also discovered that she, like Cartius and Kylin, was in actuality a Fesltar, not a Mavanix.
Enraged by her father's manipulations, Elza promptly disowned the man and then disappeared from the scene. Following the Dalamud incidents, Cartius found her and eventually persuaded her to give him and her real family another chance. She in turn helped to bring a rebelling Kylin back into the family as well. She has spent the last several years helping to rebuild House Felstar, her focus on charity work and strengthening the house's image through it.
Sanctum
Traits
Skills
Traditional combat: Elza is highly skilled in physical combat, a trend that drastically differs from the rest of the Felstar family.
- Archery: Her skill with a bow and arrow is extremely lethal. She is able to hit a target with incredible accuracy and precision. She has been known to use this skill set even without an actual bow and arrow by using objects around her to create temporary bows and projectiles.
- Swordplay: Should combat from afar fail her, Elza is almost as talented with a sword or dagger. While this skill doesn't come close to her skill with a bow and arrow, she has relied upon a combination of it and martial arts before to win battles.
Knowledge: Elza possesses a wealth of knowledge in combat arts. She's also well versed in handling a ship at sea as well as survival techniques. Contrary to her family, she possesses next to no knowledge on magic and even views reliance of it as a weakness. She is also very knowledgeable about government and politics, especially foreign affairs. In addition, Elza has recently become increasingly knowledgeable about fashion, plays, and some of the finer things among the upper-class.

Demeanor
Elza comes off as amicable to strangers despite being an enigma to most. She tends to be very calm and collective at almost all times. She has little problem holding conversations. She can also be seductive when needed, though she only purposely does this when she has something to gain.
Elza has become extremely passionate with her charity work, rarely seen doing much else. Though compassionate to those in need, she also has the same fatal traits that her family is known for. When put under the right circumstances and pushed far enough, Elza will go to intense extremes to get what she wants, using whomever and whatever means necessary. Despite the personal drama between her and her father, she is very much like him when it comes to getting her way. To her enemies, she can be relentlessly cruel and manipulative, finding ways to knock them down out of pure pleasure and the rush of power it gives her.
She has never been remotely interested in further exploring her sexuality and is strictly attracted to men. She is most attracted to hyur and elezen men, though can be charmed by miqo'te or roegadyn men under the right circumstances. She holds no attraction to lalafell men. She is most attracted to the 'do-good vigilante' type of guy.
