Eluna Shanti

Biography
A modest and quiet girl who has a very colourful way of expressing herself, Eluna loves anything bright and full of intricate patterns which, come to think of it, is probably one of the reasons why she's so fond of butterflies. Her head is almost always in the clouds, concocting up some fantastic daydream until she trips and lands face first into the ground. Her wardrobe and accessories are bursting with each and every kind of colour, material, shape, form you can possibly think of! And her personality is much like this too if you get to know her...

Overall, Eluna is a very anxious individual which relieves her stress either in baking or sitting in the corner of the couch with her adored, vintage Batman comics. When you first meet her, she reflexively jumps and/or flinches at anything. Any gentle flick of the hand, an unexpected change in tone, an unwarranted touch on the shoulder... It almost seems as some kind of deeply ingrained defense mechanism and, in fact, it successfully wards most people off as either they take pity on her or see it as unfriendly behaviour. Contrarily though, she is very clement (perhaps too much for her own good) and withholds a very determined mindset and almost admirable discipline when it comes to achieving her goals. Though, unfortunately due to her high anxiety levels it is difficult to see past it. If Eluna is pushed into a high stress situation, her stuttering will kick in. She's very defensive about it, mostly due to the fact that she hates that it is seen as a "cute" or "lovable" quality when it has affected so many of her life choices. It doesn't help her that she has a very petite and short build, so it's very easy for most people to go into 'awwww' mode.

However if you do become close with her, she seems to melt into a completely different person. She goes from reserved to an open, bubbly and generous-hearted gal, always willing to share and give what she has to offer. She will become very vulnerable with anyone whom she trusts but has a big difficulty saying "no", preferring to hurt herself than the other person or avoid confrontation. This, of course, can get her into some sticky and manipulative situations but rarely since it is so elaborate in the first place to gain her confidence.
