Overview
Real Name: Laurel Keats (Alias)
Age: Mid to Late 20s
Location: Muncie, Indiana
Freehold: Oakhurst Gardens
Seeming: Fairest
Kith: Muse
Court: Spring Court
Entitlement: None
Concept: La Belle Dame Sans Merci
Mask: Laurel is tall for a woman, standing at 5'10" in her bare feet. She has waist-length auburn hair that is usually confined to a business-like knot at the nape of her neck. When in her office, she is dressed in exquisitely tailored suits that do nothing to detract from her curves. When at a benefit, she can be seen wearing an inspired outfit by an up and coming young designer. Strangely, she never seems to wear the same designer twice. At night she goes clubbing, never blending in with the writhing mass of humanity beneath the strobing lights. Even when dressed casually, her clothing is still in impeccable taste. Her peircing turquoise eyes shine through her mask, seeming as deep and luminous as the sea. Just when you think she's all business, though, there is a tilt of her head, and quirk of her brow, a smirk, that suggests that underneath her straightlaced exterior lies a wanton in waiting.
Mein: Ellora's mein is not so different from her mask. It's just more refined, purer. Her hair brightens to spun copper, her fair skin smooths to near iridescence in its porceline perfection. The only things that are the same are her eyes, bright and inhumanly blue-green as they are in her mask. The scent of lilac on a spring breeze follows her, as does the jingling of the chatelaine she wears at her waist. In the right light, petals drift on the air around her, to fall strewn in her path. Ellora is almost never seen in the same outfit twice, and each is more stunning than the last. The alluring smile, the come-hither glance are still present, less eclipsed by propriety.

Known History
Basic Timeline:
Current Activities: Ellora spends her days as a successful event planner. She realizes that appearances are everything and works hard to make certain that her freehold, small though it may be, is seen as it properly is: an oasis of beauty for the fae.
Merit Details:
Background: Once upon a time there was a girl. And then there wasn't.
Ellora doesn't talk about her time in the hedge much. There's a part of her that fears what speaking of it will bring. Sometimes, though, she forgets herself. A careless remark about child brides. A scathing comment spit at an alleged rapist. Her talent of knowing exactly what it takes to keep a freehold running smoothly. Her uncanny ability of holding very, very still for hours.
