Background / History

Elaine is the daughter of Lawrence Frey, the city lord of Roan City, and a member of the prominent Frey Family. The family motto, “Pioneers win!”, reflects its expectation that children gain standing through independent action rather than relying on family influence. Elaine has previously slipped away from home and entered dangerous environments despite her noble upbringing. 6 7 14

She studied general magic under Barton during childhood and remains visibly intimidated by her former teacher despite respecting him. Barton considers her one of his favorite former students. 7 8

Elaine entered the Whispering Forest on her first adventuring mission to locate her childhood friend, the druid Charlotte Fenrir. The mission proved to be a scam targeting mages: after a Mana-Sucking Monster wounded her, Lynn used Mana Infusion through her staff to stabilize her mana depletion and save her life. 3 5 6

She later swore a magically binding oath to protect Lynn's secret and became the first member of his Magic Web. The connection substantially expanded her mana pool, continuously replenished her mana, and granted life magic affinity. 12 13

Elaine hired Lynn and his team to find Charlotte, paying each member ten gold coins after the mission. During the expedition, the group rescued Charlotte and defeated the Dark Elf Rigel. Elaine subsequently returned to Roan City with Charlotte. 22 35 43 44

Appearance

Elaine is a petite, slender half-elf with a refined, academy-student-like appearance. Her usual manner is elegant and approachable, though she adopts practical wilderness clothing when entering the Whispering Forest. 1 27

• Brown or light-brown, long hair.
• Emerald-green eyes.
• Fair, porcelain-like skin and a sweet face with slight baby fat.
• Slightly pointed half-elven ears.
• Commonly carries an emerald-inlaid staff.
• Initially wore a white cotton dress with black square-toed shoes; later changed into a sky-blue top, light-brown trousers, short boots, and a grass-green cloak for adventuring. 1 27

Personality

Elaine is sociable, curious, and confident in approaching others. Her friendly demeanor is partly informed by her experience in noble social circles, though her kindness toward Lynn, Gray, and injured strangers is consistently genuine. 3 10 18 29

Despite appearing gentle and obedient, she is independent-minded and persistent. She insists on searching for Charlotte, enters the dangerous Whispering Forest, and is willing to take responsibility for the commissions she initiates. 6 11 35

She is easily frightened by graphic violence and lacks extensive combat experience, but she can remain calm when entrusted with a critical task. Lynn's confidence in her helps steady her under pressure. 32 35
