Elyssa Aetas is a young Eladrin who has recently discovered her talent with Wild Magic Sorcery.
Physical Appearance
Elyssa is a young female Eladrin. She normally keeps her hair in a long single braid that will go down her back. Her skin, hair, and eye colors all change with whatever season she is embracing. In Spring, her skin will be a pale green, her eyes are a deep emerald, and her hair is a mix of light and dark greens that look similar to the color of freshly cut grass. In Summer, her skin turns to a pale yellow color, her eyes turn a deep yellow, and her hair takes on the shine of a piece of gold under then sun. In Fall, her yellow colors turn darker and settle down into a mix of reds, oranges, and browns. Her skin becomes a pale orange red color, her eyes shine like freshly found amber, and her hair takes on the color of falling leaves. In winter all of her color change into cooling shades of blue, black, and white. Her skin becomes a pale blue to the point where you would think she has frostbite, her eyes become a dark, deep blue that would remind one of looking down an endless well, and her hair becomes a mix of white and grey that would result in the look of a fresh layer of snow on a calm winters day.
Elyssa also cares about her appearances and has multiple sets of clothing in the different colors of the season so that she is always matching. You will also always find Elyssa carrying a wooden quarterstaff with her. The quarterstaff was a present from her grandfather for awakening her talent with Wild Magic. The quarterstaff is simple overall and only has a couple gemstones going around the ends of the quarterstaff in the colors of Elyssa's seasons.

Personality
Elyssa's personality will change with the seasons she is embracing at the time. However, there are common threads that remain rooted in who she is. She has always been adventurous and enjoys having fun, while also being compassionate and caring. While in Spring, you can find Elyssa being more energetic and rebellious, often playing pranks on her grandfather. In the Summer, she embraces the suns heat and strives to perform her trainings and duties up to her grandfathers standards. When Fall approaches, Elyssa slows herself down and lets herself take in everything that is happening around her in the Court of Blossoms. She becomes more easy going and tries to maintain a sense of peace wherever she goes. When Winter hits, Elyssa often keeps more to herself and becomes more thoughtful of her sense of self and how she interacts with others. This is the season that Elyssa spends the least amount of time in while Spring is her favorite season to embrace due to its blooming life.
History
Elyssa was born to her mother Sahanna Aetas and her father Jorreth Aetas, son of Herald Bo Aetas. Her parents met in an adventuring party and they fell in love with each other during their many adventures through both the material plane and the Feylands. They returned to the Court of Blossoms when Sahanna got pregnant with Elyssa and they stayed there while raising her. Once Elyssa was old enough, they both decided to go on another adventure with a couple of their previous companions. Jorreth enlisted Bo to watch over Elyssa while they were away from the Court, this way, they could ensure that Elyssa would be safe. They would always either write and send letters back to the Court for Elyssa to read, or they would send her grandfather Sending's if the details were too violent in nature as they raised Elyssa in the safety of the Court where she has only had experience with some entry level martial combat training. During this time, Bo would take care of Elyssa and started introducing her to how the Court of Blossoms functioned and what he took care of as Herald of the Lower Court. He also helped in teaching her the ways of the Feylands. Elyssa enjoyed spending time with her Grandpa, eventually copying his seasons and picking up on some of his habits. She also enjoyed pranking her grandfather while he was at work as she always found his fake anger towards her entertaining as long as she didn't take her pranks too far. Bo was a doting grandfather towards Elyssa during this time.
However, the letters and the Sending's stopped after they mentioned that they were leaving the Feylands for the Material Plane. After a while, Bo sent a group from the Court to try and find Jorreth and Sahanna as he was getting worried. He did not tell Elyssa at the time though that they had stopped sending messages, and told her some lies, such as that they were doing fine and having some issues with sending messages, to keep Elyssa happy. However, those lies were only bandages, and bandages have to come off eventually. The group that Bo sent eventually returned without finding anything. They went to the last know location of the Aetas's adventuring group, but found no signs of anything, almost like they just up and disappeared.
Bo continued to keep this a secret from Elyssa, and over time, Elyssa started to catch on that something wasn't right with what her grandfather was saying and what she observed and overheard from his meetings with his colleagues. Elyssa eventually confronted her grandfather and demanded that he explain what is going on with her parents. Elyssa kept on confronting her grandfather whenever she found him alone. Eventually, Bo sat Elyssa down one evening and let her know that they stopped receiving messages from her parents a while back and that people have tried searching for them, but they could not be found. Elyssa then fell into a spiral of emotions, trying to process what her grandfather had just revealed to her. She went from confusion to rage to sadness to betrayal, and then back to the beginning. Her whole world was coming crashing down around her. And in this process, without realizing what she was doing, her seasons started changing rapidly from the heat and anger of the summer sun to the cold depths of sadness in the winter snow. This was being caused by her tapping into a source of Wild Magic that was previously unfamiliar to her. Caught up in her flashing seasons and emotions, she snapped and sent a punch towards her grandfather, who through all of this, was sitting across from her with a sad look in his eyes and a frown on his face. The punch however was no normal punch, but was a very elementary version of what would later become Elyssa's personal spell "Season's Greetings", and the punch carried a mix of fire and ice energy from the seasons she was flashing between. The punch hit Bo, but did not do much besides emit a small puff of smoke. However, Bo saw this as something else entirely, as he had never witnessed somebody tapping into the Wild Magic for the first time, nor has he seen an Eladrin rapidly flash between seasons so quickly. And so, in an attempt to protect Elyssa from possibly harming herself, he quickly knocked her out which stopped her seasons from rapidly changing and allowing them to settle down into Winter. This also caused her connection to Wild Magic to weaken and settle down so nothing crazy happened.
