Appearance
Wren stands around 5'10'' and appears almost identical to a typical elf with the main exception being two large bird wings protruding from around her shoulder blades. The feathers on her wings are black at the top, blueish grey in the middle, and blue at the tips. She has long tangled brown hair hair that flows down her back with otherworldly looking plants, small twigs, and clumps of moss caught throughout. She commonly has a flower tucked behind her ear from a recent adventure or a gift from a friend; when she has spares she adds them to a satchel she carries with her that she stores all of the flowers, berries, and any useful herbs in, all of which appear not to rot or age at all while inside the satchel. Wren also has multiple scars from what appear to be spiked vines, poisonous plants, miscellaneous fauna, as well as other unrecognisable causes which all appear to be similar to flora and fauna of the material plane with key differences that set them apart as from the Feywild.
Wren's clothing consists mainly of intricately designed leather armor with designs from both the Seelie and Unseelie fey courts intertwining beautifully. She also wears a sort of dress over most of her armor made of an unknown fabric which is actually a living plant that was formed as a gift from her caretaker which mends itself if damaged, while in a specific archfey's domain it blooms in countless tiny flowers which move throughout the dress to make a moving display of natural beauty. She also has two scabbards, the scabbard on her left hip has many Seelie, estival, and vernal designs with the hilt of the sword in that scabbard having many of the same, the scabbard on her right hip has many Unseelie, brumal, and autumnal designs although the scabbard is left empty until she casts shadow blade in which case the sword appears in the scabbard and looks identical to the first sword although it has Unseelie, brumal, and autumnal designs instead. Wren also wears an impeccably sown shawl embroidered with flowers from the Feywild that she received as a gift from Kliff.
Backstory
At the beginning of the age of Elven Dominance Wren's parents, Aelp and Raya Leraam where attempting to emigrate out of the Feywild when they were caught up in a conflict between the Seelie and Unseelie courts. This conflict drew both of them to opposite sides of the war, and eventually lead to her father’s death at the hands of her mother. At some point Wren left the care of Raya and entered the care of 'ollddail the archfey of seasons, who brought Wren into their own domain where the seelie and unseelie courts held no sway and the only life was non-sentient flora and fauna that Wren grew up along side throughout her childhood. This archfey was the caretaker that gifted Wren her magical satchel, dress, familiar Hajhund, and bird wings. As Wren grew older she became more accustomed and knowledgeable about the flora and fauna of the feywild as well as becoming skilled in the art of Bladesinging, an art developed by her parents, with the teaching of 'ollddail. Once Wren became an adult she and ‘ollddail travelled to the battlefield where her father perished. The archfey told Wren of the battle and her father's death, but instead of revealing her mother’s betrayal they told Wren that her Mother had fled and left her to reach the material plane. After hearing that her mother had abandoned her in attempt to enter the material plane Wren decided to head there in hopes of finding her which leaves Wren to where she is now, becoming stronger while searching for a mother who betrayed her father and is still likely leading the Unseelie war effort.
Bonus
Hajhund [HI-hoon]
Hajhund is a unique species that is a mix between a shark and a dog that was created for Wren by 'ollddail and is the only one of its kind in existence. Hajhund has two forms, a familial form and a spiritual fey form. In its familial form it behaves like a standard house pet and has the abilities of a familiar summoned from the find familiar spell. In its spiritual fey form it behaves like a mix between a shark and an wolf attacking enemies viciously while teleporting in sync with Wren's own movements and has the abilities of a fey spirit summoned from the summon fey spell.
'ollddail
'ollddail is an archfey that has control over the seasons and doesn't belong to either of the fey courts but instead chooses to remain neutral. 'ollddail mainly worked to dissipate small skirmishes between the Seelie and Unseelie courts. Wren was taken in by the archfey in the hopes that she could one day take over their duties as they were being slowly forgotten.

Curtain Call
After dealing 156 damage in one attack to Oleg, killing one of the hundreds of clones of her aunt, and not finding her fucked up mother, Wren has decided to completely ignore her biological family and rely more on her found family. She and Lonnal have decided to found a Bladesinging academy to continue the technique her mother and father created. Finally, Wren is going to cultivate the Feywild plants remaining after Jubilex destroyed the Feywild as well as a baby groot version of her adoptive father ‘ollddail.
Around the last Feywild crossing she will make a garden of memories to honour all those lost in the destruction of the Feywild, I would say their memories live on, but by the nature of Feywild death they do not.
