Walaxyrvaan

Walaxyrvaan, (who preferred to be called by her nickname Lynx,) was a copper elf from the Elmanesse tribe in the Wealdath who had earned an apprenticeship at Blackstaff Tower. Her name translates as "Lynx of the Approaching Dusk" in Elven.

Description
Walaxyrvaan had copper-colored skin. She had a deep, calming voice. She was quite agile and could easily balance on tree limbs and even perform handstands. She was already skilled at hunting before coming to the Tower for training in magic.

History
Walaxyrvaan was recommended by Arilyn Moonblade and Danilo Thann for apprenticeship at Blackstaff Tower, where she was under the tutelage of Tsarra Chaadren. She was the newest apprentice there in 1374 DR, when she was not quite an adolescent by elven standards. She was older in years, however, than the combined age of all of Tsarra's other students at that time. On the journey to Waterdeep from Tethyr, she helped guard the caravan.

On Uktar 28 of that year, she was a member of a group of eight apprentices, including her teacher, who spent an overnight hunting trip in the Pellamcopse Woods. She snared or shot a brace of tarrants and helped some of the other students dress a deer that Tsarra had shot. On the return trip to Waterdeep, they all passed a thief named Raegar Stoneblade, who had been secretly stalking them, but they were unaware of his significance at the time.

When they arrived back at the tower, she was one of four tasked with butchering the game that they had taken and was in the kitchens when an explosion destroyed one of the walls of the tower.
