Lore:
This sketch is of Elflari a few months after she met Belderchal, who encouraged her to appreciate herself and start dressing up in cuter clothes, as well as growing her hair out. She used to have eyebags from her depressing dead-end job where she was treated poorly.
She didn't have a purpose in her life before, but her curiosity lead her into the field of alchemy. This includes foraging, gardening, and casting some basic spells! She decided to devote herself to the craft and doesn't know any offensive magic; Her specialty is enchantments.
Using her ingredients, as well as any strange creatures Bel managed to bring back to her, she conducts extreme experiments to raise her alchemy to new heights. It's quite uncharacteristic of her, being someone who is usually reserved and shy, but something about experiments flips a switch on in her brain.
She's also a skilled chef due to her time at her old job, so at least something good came out of that. Her prep-skills are unparalleled and her flavors immaculate. She keeps trying to bring her culinary skills to new heights due to the reactions she gets out of Bel enjoying her food.
