Once upon a time, there was an elf who "wasted time" doing many different things, because she did not really had a clear idea of what she wanted to do with her life.

Eventually, she became adept at firing a bow, dancing and singing. And she even managed to join an important dance company, performing in great events.

One day, the director of her company and this unfortunate dancer accidentally discovered the dark secret of an important elven noble after a performance in his palace. The director was murdered by the noble and the dancer was accused of killing him and trying to murder the noble.

She was allowed to escape to divert attention from the noble's misdeeds, and many additional lies about her were spread among the elves by the perverse noble.

As a result, she is now considered to be “an evil dark elf” and must hide from her own people.

The unfortunate elf survived thanks to the help of a group she formerly considered nothing but filthy barbarians and brutes: humans and dwarves. While elves shunned her, she met several humans and dwarves who were helpful, friendly and supportive.

She definitely can't stand human and dwarven music or songs. But she loves her new friends.
