Salendra embodies a unique fusion of elven grace and bovine strength, standing out even among the most exotic beings. Her upper body maintains the ethereal elegance of her elven heritage, with fair skin that seems to shimmer with an otherworldly glow. Her face, framed by short, wavy hair the color of autumn wheat, carries the delicate features of her elven ancestry, though small, polished horns emerge from her temples, curving gently backward. Her eyes, a deep amber with flecks of gold, hold both wisdom and mystery, often drawing others into lengthy conversations without a word being spoken.

From the waist down, her body transitions into the powerful, fur-covered legs of a cow, complete with cloven hooves that somehow manage to move with surprising stealth across any terrain. A long, tufted tail sways behind her, often betraying her emotions when her serene face remains unreadable. Her small, pointed elf ears twitch subtly at the slightest sound, a trait that serves her well in her endless pursuit of knowledge.

Salendra carries herself with the air of a scholar-adventurer, her equipment reflecting both her practical needs and academic pursuits. A finely crafted bow rests across her back, its wood carved with ancient elven runes that seem to pulse faintly in the darkness. Her belt holds an array of carefully labeled potion vials, each containing brightly colored liquids that catch and reflect light in mesmerizing ways. A well-maintained dagger hangs at her left hip, its handle worn smooth from years of use.

Most precious to her is the ancient tome she carries, bound in weather-worn leather and filled with pages of mysterious text and diagrams. The book, a family heirloom passed down through generations, contains secrets about her unique heritage and the ancient magic that led to her existence. She guards this knowledge zealously, knowing that understanding her origin could be the key to unlocking her full potential.

Despite her unusual appearance, Salendra possesses a warm and inviting presence that puts others at ease. She has a peculiar habit of unconsciously swishing her tail when deep in thought, and often hums ancient elven lullabies while studying her texts. Her voice carries a melodic quality, though she sometimes speaks in riddles, especially when discussing matters of magical significance.

As a collector of magical knowledge and seeker of ancient truths, Salendra travels between settlements, offering her expertise in both elven and natural magic to those in need. However, her ultimate goal remains understanding the complex spell that resulted in her unique existence, hoping to either replicate or reverse it at will. This pursuit often leads her into dangerous situations, as many powerful entities would rather keep such knowledge hidden.

Her dual nature gives her a unique perspective on both the natural and magical worlds, though it also leaves her somewhat isolated, never fully belonging to either the elven or animal realms. This isolation has fostered in her a deep empathy for other outcasts and a burning desire to prove that being different is not a weakness but a source of extraordinary strength.
