why are her eyes closed?;
Elowen lived in an ancient time of the Plumerians. Where not much was known about the world around them and there was much superstition involved in age old traditions.
Elowen lived in a small village. When she was born, Elowen had her eyes open. The kivata (kind of like a healer cross a priest who helps with the birth of a Plumerian and tells their destiny to the family which helps choose where to send their child. Sometimes baby Plumerians were killed based on the fact that the Kivavta thought they would have a bad destiny) told them that due to her eyes open and being born when the moon was directly above. She would have a twisted life but would end triumphant. The Kivata then said that she would have to join the Tevia. The Tevia were an order dedicated to healing. However, when Elowen got older she didn't want to leave her village to join the Tevia so she closed her eyes. She believed that because she was going to the Tevia for having her eyes open, she would close them. She hoped this would stop her destiny. The Kivata tried to persuade her not to close her eyes. However, Elowen ignored them and learnt to feel her way around...
I could tell you about her life story but you asked for why her eyes were closed. I would love to have her as a character because I want to make a comic for her. I also would draw Elowen all the time and make little animations.
