"Do you know why a group of ravens is called a conspiracy? It's because they are excellent at gathering information and planning."

My latest 4E character, Vandis Treedancer embraces her elvish heritage in just about every classical way. Growing up, she rarely ventured outside the forest and was detached from the concerns of other humanoid races, but seeing her village and the surrounding woods trampled by goblin raid parties convinced her to take up arms and face the goblin menace herself. When she learned that the nearby settlement of Winterhaven had suffered a similar fate and called for the aid of adventurers, Vandis found herself jumping at the call... a bit too late. But with the help of her traveling companion, a raven she named Victoria, Vandis was able to track one of the more successful adventuring parties and managed to gain the trust of... at least some of the members... by helping them in combat, with reconnaissance, and with the identification of beasts.

Also, she might or might not be distantly related to Ganas. (Ow, old art burrrrns! x.x)

EDIT (10/4/2012): Oh, derp! I didn't even realize the bowstring was on the wrong side of her arm until now! My bad...
