Kyllah was the name they had given her when they found her. Through out the years she has gained a very popular nick name "scynful". The nickname came from her constantly getting herself into trouble in some fashion or another. Also had a way of finding herself in hunter traps. The main reason she is always getting caught in the traps is because they are traps and she doesn't like them. Kyllah doesn't like seeing anyone or anything get trapped, if it is of her people, they get sent off as slaves, if it is animals, they are killed more often than not.
One of her biggest advantages is the simple fact that she is small. Smaller than most elves she has ever met. Even the elders that took her in do not know exactly what breed she is, Her eyes were multicolored, one eye is that of Drow, color of amethyst while the other is deep green. At the same time she has hint of wood elf in her as well by the color of her fair skin and slender form. The color of her hair is mixed as well, blood red with white as snow highlights. On her shoulders it appears she is suppose to have wings, however, they either never developed, or haven't yet. Or just simply she never learned how to use them. The Elders never did figure out where the tribal marking came from, or who placed them there.
This last trap Kyllah ended up cutting things a tad bit too close. She normally can get out of any trap she has gotten into so far and this one was one of the easiest ones to get out of. As she dangled in the air upside down, she heard voices and dogs in the distance. Quickly as possible she cut through the thick rope, sometimes this took some work and when she falls to the ground, it always stuns her for a few moments. Kyllah knew the voices of these trappers, these were the slaver types always looking to catch the elves that are out in the woods. The elves were exotic and very valuable to the humans who caught them.
"Sounds like we caught ourselves a good one boys!" as the dogs began to get more and more excited. This forced her to quickly get on her feet and run into the bushes, there was no time to climb the trees like she normally would.
"Damn it, not another one!!!!" this was a new voice, perhaps the son on his first (hunting) trip. "This is the 4th one today that has been destroyed"
Kyllah knew she couldn't stay here, it wasn't safe and dogs were narrowing in on her very quickly, pulling their humans to her scent. Couldn't take it anymore, had to take the chance and she took off forcing the dogs to get excited again.
"Release the hounds, they will catch her!"
Little did they know that she knew how to get into places where the hounds couldn't fit into, also, she had a slight head start on them. It was enough to find her first (rabbit) hole of sorts, enough for her but not so much for the hounds. They had to find other options to get around the bushes she went into.
After running and hiding for what seemed like forever with the hounds still on her scent, Kazalyea came upon a beautiful castle in the middle of no where. She has only heard stories of a castle in these woods, however, this one didn't fit those stories at all. This one was in its prime, bright and full of color, the most beautiful garden she has ever seen in her life. It entranced her for a few moments till the hounds brought her back to reality. She ended up prowling along the hedges for a way in, a place to hide and when she finally found a hole in the hedge, Kyllah slipped inside. As soon as she was in, the outside world grew silent. The hounds had stopped, the yelling of the men had stopped, it was as if there was nothing outside the hedges.

From the stories she heard, this place was suppose to be dead and falling apart. The stories of this place were used to keep children from seeking it. As she got older, the legends told a different story and claimed there is treasure to be found within the walls. Diamonds the size of a mans fist, gold and jewels beyond anyones imagination. Although there were many different versions of the stories, they all had one ending.... No one ever returns. People knew of others that went in search of the treasure only to never see them again.
Before too long, she started to work her into the castle, after all, that is how she gets into trouble..... Curiosity is her greatest weakness. The diamonds were the first thing she saw when opening the main doors and they seemed to light up to tempt her. The large fist sized Diamonds were on small holders all over the inside of the castle and they tempted her the most.
When she reached up to touch it, to hold it and perhaps make off with it... Kyllah found herself in another room before she could react.
