Appearance
Trissa has platinum hair and dull green eyes. Typically dressed in ragged clothes of a dusty brown, her lack of wealth is obvious especially when compared with her Altmer kin. An old rusted blade hangs on her hip along with small scrappy looking leather pouches. She is thin, short and lacking any kind of muscle build up, another sign that she lacks the means to afford a steady meal.

Personality Profile
A timid personality to be sure, when first encountered she is rarely willing to speak a world. However as someone gets to know her and builds trust an energetic, bright and bubbly personality awaits below. When confrontation arises Trissa is quick to run and hide, only adapting the fight instinct when backed into a corner or someones life is in danger.

Background
Trissa was born into the noble house of Vennelis within Alinor. A house that had established its self through the production of proud and skilled Altmer warriors, who served the Altmer people and Aldmeri Dominion. The house of Vennelis was built on the ideals of Altmer superiority, with other non elven races being seen as lesser creatures. Trissa was an only child and thus was next in line to lead the house and carry on her family legacy. Meaning that she bore all of her parents aspirations and attention, leaving her with little to no free time to enjoy the world around her. Her days would consist of lessons on sword play, history, basic spell casting, alchemy, enchanting and the "lesser races". All in preparation for the day she would join the long list of noble Vennelis warriors.

However as her parents would later discover Trissa did not have the killer instinct or racial prejudices they had aimed to drill into her. She did not adapt to the sword play, or destructive magic as they had hoped. Nor did she look down upon the other races, if anything her curiosity grew around them the more her parents preached. The only lessons that seemed to stick was those around history and the illusion arts.

Disappointed in what their daughter had become, Her parents did as may of the Altmer do when social differences arise. They discarded her rather then have their social position hurt by her personality. With a few coins, a rusty sword and the clothes on her back Trissa was sent to the mainland of Tamriel unable to return until she was worthy of her name. Her parents hoping that seeing the other lesser races first hand and the dangers of the world, she would become like them.

Since then Trissa has spent most of her time in Greenshade in search of a magic mentor, who will help her gain enough power and wealth to return home and change her house for the better.
