Appearance
His height is taller among other plainsfolk Lalafell. Aleka Donaka's hair is mostly green, spiked to almost resemble grass sprouting from the ground, but the roots show hints of blonde. He has two tattoos on his face, both of the same green hue, of which none know the significance to. His eyes are also of a green color, and seem to glow when they catch the light. When seen in the field, he is normally wearing scholarly vestments, but out of convenience more than as part of his calling.
Flitwit, his fairy companion, is usually close by, drabbed in normal Eos garb. Careful inspection would also reveal several pieces of non-standard jewelry, such as a tiara with a small emerald embedded within, and an amulet with an odd stone in the center.
Behavior
Aleka Donaka can usually be seen with a smile on his face, unless he's annoyed with Flitwit. Most of his comments begin with a smile or positive reinforcement, suggesting that he prefers to avoid negativity. When presented with a difficult situation, the smile does falter, but is hardly replaced with a frown. Only on rare occasions have individuals witnessed his composure break down.
Flitwit tends to be seen giggling at some random thing. She likes to chase after stray moths, but loves finding and devouring cookies and apples wherever they may be.
Combat
General
Aleka Donaka works in tandem with his fairy companion, Flitwit. His role is to create barriers around allies while she works to mend their wounds. While he does have restorative abilities of his own, his primary focus is to prevent damage so that Flitwit can do her work, and will only assist if she becomes overwhelmed.
