I suffer from impulsive character creation disorder. 
Your username: Jeriah/Tismri
Character's name: Tento (friends call her Ten)
Character's age: 59
Character's attitude: Ten is often very friendly, but can be compulsive and easily provoked to anger. She has a strong sense of duty to her queen and her people. She is often wildly unpredicatble, though if you could follow her lightning-fast thought process her actions would make perfect sense.
Character's Race: elf
Character's appearance: Ten is around 5'2, so she's short for most elves. She has bright green eyes and short blondish-red hair that's so light in color it appears pink. She has a very small, slim build. She wears what used to be a long red elven tunic, but she's cut it short and cut off the sleeves. She also wears dark shorts with a pink cloth tied over them, just so she appears a little more feminine when occasion requires it. Around her right leg she has a holster strapped which holds her weapons. She wears knee-high boots, elbow guards, and often gloves for when she's fighting. She also has a red headband made from the scraps of her tunic to hold her hair out of her face.
Character's allegiance: Varden, Islanzadi
Weapons: Ten is skilled with a bow and arrow and a sword, but dislikes using them, as carrying them slows her down. She has a supply of throwing stars which she uses when she needs to, but her preferred fighting style is hand to hand. She also carries a large supply of a special kind of wire made by the same elf who gave her her stars. This wire, inspired by spider silk, is stronger than steel--it takes quite a bit of Ten's strength to break it--but it's also more flexible than thread.
Other Info: Ten has immense strength, even for an elf, and sometimes forgets that fact. She can knock down a well-aged tree or completely pulverize a rock with minimal effort, and one or two hard punches can break through most magical wards. She's skilled in sneak attacks and infiltration, so Islanzadi has relied on her in the past to gather intelligence before a battle. The only magic she chooses to perform is healing, which she is very skilled at. She has a major sweet tooth and can easily be won over with sugar.
History: Tento was born in Silthrim and was raise a normal elven life. From early on, she seemed to have erratic tendencies and do and say almost random things. This was all only because her mind works almost twice as fast as a common elf. She was in some ways tomboyish and when she was young she didn't hold the same level of respect and civility as elves were taught.
By the time she was fifteen, she was being taught fighting skills. She'd expressed an interest in joining the queen's army and as such learned how to handle and use battle weapons. She found that carrying something bulky like a sword or bow interfered with her ability to run and dodge quickly, so she never really liked using such weapons. She had a friend who was a skilled smith and asked him to make some weapons for her that were small and easy to carry, but could still be deadly when used. Thus, he created and she was the first to use throwing stars.
Also during her fighting training she learned hand to hand, during which she discovered she was exceptionally strong, which was even more surprising due to her small size. More than a few trees were knocked down in Du Weldenvarden because she became angry and misjudged her own strength.
At the age of fifty--still an adolescent by elven standards--Ten officially joined Islanzadi's army. At first she was more of a spy than anything, sneaking into the Empire's cities and listening to what the king was up to. Her quick, analytical mind was usually able to discover what was true and what wasn't fairly quickly. More recently, as the elves have begun to move, Ten has taken a more proactive fighting role, putting her strength and stars to work. She's now received orders from Islanzadi to join the Varden front.
Role Play Sample:
Ten punched a huge rock beside her, unintentionally desintegrating it. She had barely managed to hide her anger from the queen when she'd received her orders, but now she was letting loose. It wasn't fair! Why was the queen ordering her to leave her people, her friends, and join all those humans down there?! She'd never been around humans before that weren't her enemies. The only one had been Eragon, and she'd kept her distance from him while he was in Ellesmera. She had no idea how to act around such, such...young people.
She mentally ranted to herself for over ten minutes, a record for her fast-acting mind. Then she finally calmed down. Maybe it wouldn't be that bad. After all, there were some elves already down there, so it wouldn't be as if she were completely alone. Besides, orders were orders. She'd never opposed the queen before, not since joining her army.
Consenting herself to her fate, Tento placed all her throwing stars in her holster, pulled on her gloves, and set off at a fast pace for the Varden camp.
