Erin is a Marksman hero in Honor of Kings.
Background[]
Erin is a curious and ebullient young elf princess who was born in the Luminescent Forest. Unfortunately, her position also forced her into endless insufferable rituals, dances, and a perfectly ordered life as determined by elvish custom. These restraints prompted Erin to flee the forest for the human world and her own adventure just before her coming-of-age ceremony...
Lore[]
To the elves of the Luminescent Forest, order and elegance are more than just ideas—they're a way of life.
The elves have called the forest home for thousands of years. There, they performed graceful dances to communicate with their sacred laurel trees and gain the power of faith. They set up layer upon layer of restrictions to stop invaders, but these rules also trapped the elves within the forest.
Erin, an elf princess, was a special case. She had a lively spirit, curious to explore the unknown and discover new things.
The responsibility of being an heir was a heavy burden on Erin's shoulders, as she was forced to suppress her nature and learn to be a "real princess."
But what's a real princess?
Don't fly too high. Don't step foot outside the forest. Don't show interest in humans because they're dangerous... Even her dance had to be solemn and strict. Every flutter of her wings had to be carried out according to the rules of her clan.
Erin grew up constantly struggling with the rules. She was told to put away her spontaneous side and adhere to the strict elegance and absolute order of the elven race—to be a "real princess."
On the eve of her coronation ceremony, Erin finally decided to break the rules of her clan. She soared high into the sky and looked down on the Luminescent Forest.
If she returned home, she would become the elven queen, confined to an uncomfortable throne. But if she made her move now, she would be free to chase the moonlight.
For an elven princess of the Luminescent Forest, order and elegance are paramount, while for Erin herself, life was all about freedom and adventure.
The more unknown, the more fun. The more dangerous, the more thrilling.
Erin encountered Arthur during her adventure, the head of Eventide Cathedral's Knights of the Round Table. She also met a red-haired little mage called Angela. The three joined to form the Sunset Squad, and they embarked on an adventure in the human world.
During their journey, Erin heard about a mysterious shipwreck and pirate invasion. She befriended Charlotte, a swordswoman from a city-state near Sunset.
Watching as Charlotte boarded her ship and prepared to set sail, Erin had a sudden urge to join her on the voyage, to go forth and find out what was waiting to be discovered upon the high seas.
But Charlotte told her, "If you really want to board my ship, then come back before dark and answer me: What is the mission that guides your journey?"
Mission?
Erin had never heard the word before.
Her mission was supposed to have been to become the elven queen, but she had escaped. Since bidding farewell to the Luminescent Forest, she had explored place after place, always moving on to greener pastures. Her adventure would have no end, it seemed.
Erin decided not to board the ship.
She said goodbye to Charlotte and performed an elven dance of blessing for her voyage. Before they parted, Charlotte said, "May you courageously seek out your mission."
"I will find it!" Erin waved as she watched the ship sail into the distance.
Perhaps her mission was hiding on some future adventure, quietly waiting to be discovered.
"Ideanor is close by, I can feel it!"
