Elaine Hawthorne was a proud woman. She felt that she had accomplished quite a bit up to now since her family moved to England from Burgundy, France. She had gone through college, studied archaeology and earned her degree and eventually worked her way up to being one of the curators of the London Museum. Of course she did archaeological work as well, it being her main interest, and signed up for excavations when possible.
So when news of the possibly location of the Golden Garden arose, she decided she just had to sign up. It may end up with her having to use her holiday time, but she felt that it would be worth it. Of course, others had applied as well which meant that there would have to be a limited number.
But it helps when you're one of the few who can actually understand the glyphs of the Azrans'. The ones who created the Golden Garden to begin with.
So, that was how Elaine ended up in Misthallery. Is was fine for some time.
Then the Spectre showed up.
The first few attacks, they were all okay. But eventually, it just got too much for some of them and they left. Except Elaine. Maybe it was her only lack of belief in such things, or perhaps it was her own stubborn nature that refused to let her cave in. So she decided, she would continue on her own. She didn't think it was too impossible. Tricky and at the very least difficult? Perhaps. But it wasn't impossible. Yes, it was possible for her to get her work done without any trouble, whatsoever!
Then, she met Jean Descole.
I figured since I found no Descole/OC's here except for one which doesn't seem to be continuing any time soon, I'd make an attempt at it myself. Probably going to fail at it, but meh. Also, there MAY or MAY NOT be some spoilers for the second trilogy. I think that much is pretty obvious. And it also goes for the last game of said trilogy. So don't complain to me if I spoiled you. You were warned. End of story.
