High Elven Wizard

Resides at 5 Erollisi Way, South Qeynos

Ilvi was orphaned as an infant, left on an old Hermit's doorstep.  The old hermit took her in, and raised her.  An amateur wizard, he taught her what he knew, including a rich education in things non-magical, and loved like his own daughter.  After his death, she ventured forth to Qeynos, and has gained fame as a powerful wizard, and talented carpenter.

Ever soft-hearted, Ilvi tends to adopt a lot of pets and even other people.  Besides the huge mab of animals she shares her large five-room house with, she also adopted a young wood elf named Kephy.  Kephy wandered into Qeynos from the woods, speaking not a word of... well.. anything!  She spoke only the languages of animals and plants, and had nearly no understanding of all things civilized at all.

Ilvi has taught her much, and Kephy finally moved into her own inn room in Starcrest, in an effort to learn to be more independent in the big city.

Kephy grew up alone in the forest, her family lost to her through means unknown, and she finds words an unatural means of communication. She communes more with nature than with others, but now that she has ventured into Qeynos, she knows she must learn to deal with others in the way they are accustomed. She is clumsy with her words, but she's friendly and loves to learn.

"Kephy tellin’ story now, so allus yous lissen up! *Giggles* Kephy tellin’, now, of how Kephy ‘memberin’ livin’ in the woods, allus ‘lone, Kephy was. Allus ‘lone, peeples-wise. Kephy havin’ an’mals friends, and trees friends, and allus plants and an’mals. Kephy momma was an’mal, Kephy ‘member, bein’ wolfie. Hers takin’ cares o’ Kephy when Kephy eensy baby. Affer that, Kephy havin’ WHOLE forrust as momma and poppa.

Friends say Kephy havin’ Elfie momma and poppa, long long time ‘go. Haffa, since Kephy is elfie. Kephy not ‘memberin’ them, not no more, so thems sayin’ musta lost Kephy when eensy baby. Mebbe thems die, mebbe not, Kephy not knowin’. Gots no way ta find them, since Kephy not havin’ nothing but piece o’ baby blank’t, with Kephy name sowed on it. Jes’ say "Kephy", not no other name.

Friend find Kephy, few month ‘go. Hers in forrust, and findin’ Kephy, and givin’ Kephy nice foods and clo’se and stuff. Hers starts teachin’ Kephy, learnin’ all ‘bout peeples ways. Is way Kephy knows oughtta be, bein like Peeples, but Kephy allus gonna be Forrust-baby. Ta’in’ Wooden Elfie outta Woods, is happenin, Taken Woods outta Wooden Elfie, not so much!

Kephy try tell more, but is lotsa talkin’ for Kephy, and hers needs be quiet now... *grins big, and bounces enthusiastically away*"

Kephy is the character that originated "Kephy-Speak", a unique way of speaking that I cannot control.  Once I start using Kephy speak, I can't stop, she just sort of takes over my brain, and she's the MOST fun to play when she has someone to talk to.  She's definitely a roleplaying character.  The name has a long history, based in an ages-ago game of Werewolf: The Apocalypse.  In EQ2, the two tails are either her two pony-tails, or her wolf and tiger tails (her alternate forms).  Depends on when - and how - you ask her.
