'''Elia Arcsinger''' is a [[Half-Elves|Half-Elven]] Named Adventurer and the Captain of Arcsinger’s Bows. She is famous for having slain the [[Goblin Kings|Goblin King]], [[Velan]].

== Appearance ==
She has blonde hair, and a pale face.<ref name=":5.32 G">[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/10/27/5-32-g/ Chapter 5.32 G]</ref> Her appearance looks like she's in her late twenties.<ref name=":0">[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/04/29/7-20/ Chapter 7.20]</ref>

After being burned alive by her own changed Skill, Elia has faint burn scars all over her body.<ref name=":4" />

== Personality ==
In public, Elia is quite friendly, treating [[Ceria Springwalker]] as an equal, despite the disparity in their ranks. However, she privately has imposter syndrome, as her Named-ranked status is mostly due to her reputation of killing the Goblin King, and her Skill, [Line-Ender Shot], one of the most powerful archery Skills in the world. Ironically, due to over-reliance of her great Skill, Elia has failed to level since killing Velan the Kind through a fluke. To this end, she Moreover, desperate to maintain her reputation as one of the most powerful Named-ranked adventurers, Elia avoids entering high-level engagements, even once refusing to duel Ceria lest she reveal her actual strength, and is terrified at the idea of someone discovering her secret or facing a high-level opponent.<ref name=":3">[[Interlude – Levels|Interlude - Levels]]</ref> As such, she is disillusioned, often contemplating on retiring or returning home to [[Gaiil-Drome]] and practicing archery for another decade. 

She loves spicy food.<ref>{{VERef|Arcsinger's Memories – Interlude}}</ref> 

== Background ==
Elia hails from [[Gaiil-Drome]]. She had her daughter [[Capoinelia Arcsinger|Capoinelia]] when she was still a Bronze-ranked adventurer. She brought her back to live with her family while Elia went out to earn money for them both.

Elia was a Silver-ranked adventurer who participated in the Second Antinium War. During [[Velan|Velan the Kind]]'s final charge, she was among the line of archers desperately firing arrows at the seemingly invulnerable Goblin. However, just when he was upon her, Velan looked at Elia, whose resemblance to [[Sprigaena|Sprigaena the Traitor of Elves]] caused him to hesitate, leaving him open for Elia's arrow to ram through his head, killing the Goblin King. She reached level 40 with this feat, gaining the [Line-Ender Shot] Skill.<ref name=":3" /> 

Afterwards, the half-Elf’s fame for killing the Goblin King resulted in Elia Arcsinger becoming known as one of the greatest Named Adventurers of the current age.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/06/26/s02-the-antinium-wars-pt-5/ S02 – The Antinium Wars (Pt.5)]</ref> She was invited to every nation, and travelled for two years, being celebrated and showing off her capstone Skill. However, she was forced back into adventuring when her fame started fading and she no longer received free food or lodging. There were ample jobs for her, and she formed [[Arcsinger’s Bows|Arcsinger's Bows]]. Seeing how expensive the team was, she considered adventuring alone until her daughter, which she hadn't seen for twenty years, decided to join her as an adventurer. They've adventured together for six years.

Elia did not reach Level 40 by killing Velan the Kind.<ref name=":3" /> She's fought Adult [[Crelers]] four times in her career,<ref name=":0" /> though with ample support.

=== Volume 7 ===
Elia met [[Ceria Springwalker|Ceria]] and [[Pisces Jealnet|Pisces]], who initially didn't recognize her, at [[Invrisil]]'s Adventurer's Guild after they reached Gold-rank.<ref name=":0" />

When members of the [[Kraken Eater Tribe]] escaped a circus in Invrisil and started killing, Elia was there and killed them as they faced her. She pursued the last Goblin, Nolocks, to [[the Wandering Inn]], but could not harm him in the establishment. However, Elia stated that the Goblins took children hostage and killed them. Nolocks was made to leave the inn through [[Numbtongue]]'s mining cave, and Elia pursued. Nolocks waited to ambush his pursuers rather than flee and was killed.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/09/02/7-43-g/ Chapter 7.43 G]</ref>

=== Volume 9 ===
Elia and her team were pushing to gain a relic-class item from the raid's loot, or even the Helm of Fire, but Ceria pressured her back, threatening to damage Elia's reputation and even challenge her to a public duel if she protested her decision. Elia backed down and agrees to her plan on how to divide the loot instead.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/07/17/9-07/ Chapter 9.07]</ref><ref name=":3" />

Elia and her team were invited to the ''Djinni's Spoon'' in Invrisil by Lord [[Xitegen Terland]]. He and other nobles hired her to kill Goblins that were friendly with [[Erin Solstice]]. The plan was they Arcsinger's Bows would run reconnaissance on the target, and then the nobles would back her up in two days to attack.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/04/12/9-41-pt-2/ Chapter 9.41 (Pt. 2)]</ref>
