Glowlady, who''s real name is Imira Folkstaff, is a tall and graceful
elvish woman. She often speaks in a warm, calming tone and uses her
knowledge of psychology to help people relax and ease their worries.
This rather unusual ability Imira possess is augmented by her ability
to caste a number of low-level manipulation spells. Most of these
spells are designed to control emotions and thoughts.
Imira is tall, standing 2.16 meters (7'1") with flowing black
hair that drops to her waist. However, she appears malnourished in
that she weighs only 75 kg (167 lbs). Her skin is as pale as ivory.
The eyelids surrounding her green, emerald-like eyes are lined in
red. Imira''s appearance has a lot to do with the fact that she was
infected with the HMHVV in 2055. Unlike a lot of elves, Imira did
not become a banshee when the virus took over her body. She has the
enlarged canines of a vampire and also finds the sun mildly annoying
as her skin is very sensitive to light. Many of her fellow creatures
of the night believe that she is not an elf because of the lack of
effect the HMHVV had in turning her into a banshee. A few suspect
that her elvish features are cosmetic, but there is no solid proof
of this.
Unlike vampire lore, Imira does not find holy objects and places foreboding.
She often takes some kind of pleasure from living in old churches
and quoting bible references like some kind of heretic
Her life is motivated by the need for a family. She is obsessed with
what she has lost and the chance to raiser her daughter is nearly
gone. Though her methods are somewhat twisted, her final goal is to
have a family again. No matter what it takes
Glowlady''s past is one that she keeps bottled in mystery. She gracefully
avoids exposing her history in conversation and tiptoes around any
questions that are specifically directed to it. What few people know
is that the woman known as Imira Folkstaff started her life as Cassandra
Lorre'' in France on May 23, 2010. Though her early childhood would
be nothing compared to the story that is her life. At the age of fifteen
she was kidnapped from her family. She was going to be sold to a group
of researchers from Azltan, but she ended up going to Las Vegas
A dark chapter in her life was about to begin. Glowlady had been sold
into the pornography and emerging BTL business that was thriving under
Mafia domination. Her body was cosmetically modified with elvish features
and body sculpting. She was given hormones to increase her height
and form. Imira stayed in the dark business for seven years. Most
of it was against her will. She changed ownerships a number of times.
However, she was eventually able to settle the ""debt""
she had with mob members. Shortly after leaving she began calling
herself Imira Folkstaff in an effort to escape the shadow that her
former life in the pornography business had cast
By 2032 Imira was free to go wherever she wanted. Imira did not know
what to do for the longest. Eventually she traveled, ending up at
the northern most border of California. It was here that she came
into contact with a band of gypsies and for the first time discovered
that she had a latent magical talent. Imira stayed with the band,
traveling with them into Tir Tairngire
In the Tir Imira began a life that would take up most of the next
ten years with odd jobs and occasional wanderings with the gypsies.
Occasional until one night near Mount Shasta when she met a man named
Rembran Clearstone. The two of them fell in love. Imira moved to live
with him in Salem, leaving the band of gypsies behind. Unfortunately
the relationship did not stay happy for long. The two of them began
fighting on a constant basis. However, Imira ended up getting pregnant.
It was then that Rembran found out that she wasn''t really an elf,
but her looks were the result of cosmetic surgery. Rembran was furious
about this
In 2043 Imira gave birth to a daughter, Alona. No less than a year
later Rembran kicked Imira out. Rembran''s family history and the
political nature of Tir Tairngire did not look kindly on non-elves.
Alona had been born an elf with no help, genetically, from her mother.
Rembran made up a story about Alona''s mother, saying that she had
grown ill and had to return to her family in California. Alona believed
what she was told. Imira was crushed and angered at Rembran. He took
away the family she thought she would never have. With one move her
life was reduced to nothing once again. Imira found herself in California
looking for a way to fill the whole in her life.
