*Hair turns completely pale pink if she's out in the sun for extended periods of time.

And she hates it.

Pale blue, almost silvery eyes

Nice teeth™

Can usually be found wearing cute little dresses with hoods and a pair of black yoga-type pants.

She's either got black flats or her knee-high leather boots on.

Notes:

Her mother was Human and her father was an elven fairy. 

Mom kept Drese in a cottage in the woods up in the Catskills of NY until she passed away when Drese was 6.

Dad took over.

Kinda.

Grandma watched Drese mostly and she was a bit of a hard ass. 

Grandma wasn't happy that Drese was half-human. Didn't treat her well. Used to leave her out in the middle of the forest on cold nights to fend for herself and "toughen up" because she thought that being half-human made her weak.

But it didn't. It actually made her stronger. 

Drese was smart and was indeed able to fend for herself. 

She made friends with the forest animals - namely, the wolves.

Drese's father came home one night with Drese's older half-sister, to introduce the girls. She was 25 while Drese was about 7.

Drese was out in the cold dark woods.

Dad was upset but sister was ripshit.  (Back to why later)

The three went out to find Drese but to no avail. (She was cuddled with the wolf den cubs)

Poor sister was a mess. Dad was like “Well, grandma says she always comes home so…” and went home with grandma 

Sister searches all night long, only stops to rest on a fallen tree as the sun is coming up. This is when Drese finds the woman sobbing. And because Drese feels a strange immediate kinship with this woman, she walks right up and hugs her, telling her everything will be ok.

Sister kidnaps Drese.

Moves closer to the city and blends with the locals.

Gets a job and sends Drese to school. Puts Drese in martial arts because she wants her to learn discipline and self-defense. Drese has a love for dance. And she's good - she gets into and graduates from Juilliard - top of her class. Never pays a fucking penny. She's crazy smart too. So grades were never an issue. 

Dad and grandma finally catch up after having hunted the girls down. Turns out Drese is really valuable. For <reasons>.

Dad and grandma want what she's worth.

Sister tells them to fuck off. Grandma is hurting sister and Dad is threatening sister with death. Drese walks in after dance and finds the whole thing going down.

Without a second thought, Drese kills the elder elves. 

Girls go into hiding.

Working some sketchy jobs in a sketchy neighborhood.

Some more shit goes down and sis and Drese get caught by some uncouth individuals.

Drese has some PTSD and kills the group of 8 men.

Someone governmenty watched the whole shitshow go down and tells Drese they could use her skillset in the military. Otherwise, he's turning her in.

So

Ranger training it is! And she goes into special ops.

While she's on her last mission she's getting letters from her sister telling her that she's moved back to the Catskills into the old cabin, and she can't wait to see her.

Drese comes home. And goes right home to the Catskills. Everything is fabulous and the girls are living a nice life.

Until Drese walks in one day and finds her sister murdered with a note from the elven counsel telling her to come see them.

Drese goes.

Finds out they offed her older sister for hiding Drese. And for killing dad and grandma.

Drese goes crazy.

Does the whole "*I* killed my father and grandmother." Then proceeds to annihilate the entire counsel. And all the guards. 

There were like 25 members and 12 guards. All the elven counsel having been well-trained killers, themselves.

She's an absolute legend after this but takes on a life of caring for others in honor of her sister being so good to her.

She goes into the city at one point and has to use her elite skills to save herself and another woman.

Recruited into a secret society of badasses that protect those who need it.

But Drese says she will only fight as a backup plan. She will only be known for being a caretaker unless shit really hits the fan.
