The protagonist has a gift for adventure and a love of all things beautiful.

'There was once a small elf who lived in the hollow tree in the woods.  She loved dancing.  In the Spring, she danced a welcome-back-sun dance; in the Autumn, a swirling-yellow-leaves dance and in the Winter, a falling-snow dance.  She would dance until she was so tired that she would crawl into her tree and fall asleep....'
