Character Personality: Circe is a quiet person, mainly because she is always planning and plotting. She dislikes other people, creatures, well, everything but snakes, which her lands are full of. She is very sly, and intelligent. She is conniving, backstabbing, and excessively cruel and evil. She hates good and kind people, and is very envious. She hates people in power, because she is not. She hates humans, elves, and dwarves because they killed most of the Rocs, Scylla, and the Basilisk in the land, and dislikes dragons, but does hope to one day be able to morph into one. She is very mean spirited and hates to be around other people. She likes to see pain and likes to cause it even more. She loves to hunt as a basilisk, because of the fear it causes. She likes to make her victims feel helpless, and then kill them slowly. She works daily to become more powerful, and trains with her dagger daily. She likes to stalk her prey silently and never let them know she is there, that is until she sinks her fangs into them. She loves the taste of blood, though she isn't a vampire. She is always seeking power and really doesn't care how she gets it. She will use anyone and anything she can to get what she wants and will go through anyone or anything she has to get where she wants. She makes no bones about the fact that she is evil, a ruthless killer, and a student of the darkest magic known in the world. She is mean spirited and almost never gets any enjoyment out of life.

Character History: Many years ago, before even the dragon riders were created, a dark sect of the elves, called the night elves broke away from the main body of elves, the ones we know today. They had many differences, such as their religion, magicks, and everyday life, so the night elves journeyed to Illium and the surrounding islands to live their lives they way that want with no threats to either themselves, or their beliefs. They made these islands their home. They lived so far form any other creatures, their religion began to become more and more strange, as well as their way of life. As their religion developed, three of their deities stood out from among the rest; the giant snake, or Basilisk, the terror bird, or Roc, and the sea monster, or Scylla. The night elves worshiped these "gods" above all others. They gave their "gods" living sacrifices, sometimes the unlucky traveler, the odd animal, and when times were lean, and there was no other choice, some of their own were sent to appease their "gods". This bloody ritual was how the night elves lived. They worshiped these and other gods for years. That is, until a mysterious disease began to kill off the elves. This went on, until there was but one night elf left, a shaman, or speaker of the gods. His name was Xerxes. Xerxes roamed the land for years, looking, searching for a mate, or another night elf. He did this, until he came upon a human female. She was an outcast, an evil woman; a "witch" said some. Her name was Zera. She and the elf married and Xerxes began to teach Zera of his religion and how he lived. The witch learned quickly and was soon as well versed in the worship and rituals of the night elves as the shaman himself. Not long after, Zera became pregnant. The child was born nine months later; it was a female, and one of great beauty and darkness. It was two years later that Xerxes brought his daughter and wife back to the worshiping grounds on Illium, to present the child to the three deities. Then, once the three "gods" had seen the child, with one sound, the gds named her Circe. Then, the shaman then began to chant a blessing. It was the most powerful blessing known to the night elves, the blessing of the gods... The blessing called for a human sacrifice, and so Xerxes gave them one. He hurled his wife, Zera to the monsters. The monsters divided the woman and feasted upon her. Then, each of the monsters stepped forward and touched the child. Just as the last of the deities touched the child, the shaman finished his blessing (spell). The spell was ended when the shaman placed his hands upon the child. She screamed loudly, and then became deathly silent. Then, the "gods" left. The shaman picked up his daughter and left, on his way, he said, "Now you will not only worship them, but will be able to become them..." said the shaman as he walked back to the small hut that was their home.

It was eight years later and Circe had grown much. She was now able to talk, walk, and even transform into tone of the "gods"; the Basilisk. Her father Xerxes had taught her the finer points of witchcraft, which was taught to him by his deceased wife, Zera. Circe picked up on it quickly. However, it was not all well for the child. She was always watching for the "fire lizards" or dragons, for they not only hunted, but also had killed some of the giant snakes, terror birds, and sea monsters that she worshiped. Also, the elves were more and expanding their territory and becoming more and more powerful. Both she and her father were forced to become more and more careful to avoid the elves, for the night elves were considered evil "freaks" of nature, as well as monsters, which to an extent they were.

The day that Circe turned twenty, she attained the ability to morph into all of the three deities, but it took her at least five minutes to fully change and she had to concentrate to do so. The transformations were very painful, as were the first few minutes in the different forms, however once in these forms, she has all the strength and ability of each of the creatures she was. She still stayed on Illium, to protect her "gods". This was her life, until a dragon and rider killed the last of the “gods” the Scylla. It was then that she left the island. By this time, she was older than two thousands years old, however she still has the form of a twenty year old woman.
