Working
Elaran is often found in high-end mage gear, borrwing from several pieces in the Netherwind and Arcanist sets among others. She always carries a staff by preference, and usually wears a swashbuckler's shirt under her robes.

Relaxing
When not in combat, Elaran can be found wearing a variety of robes or dresses. She has a tendency toward hats on special occaisions (especially her Admiral's Hat), and usually trades her staff for a mageblade.

Other
When not in active combat, Elaran always wears what she calls her "Containment Gloves" (shown in above picture) during leisure time. The gloves were originally used in combat, but were modified by Aelannor with runes designed to heavily restrict her ability to channel mana. This was necessary after Elaran's first mana overload.

Prologue
Project management. Analysis. Design. These were Elaran's world as an engineer in Gnomeregan. During this time, she met a bright, and silly named Jakt Gearmagus. After several years of working together, they both decided that it would be fun to try the human custom of marriage. Thus, Elaran Gearmagus became Elaran Sprocketeia. Together, she and Jakt did their best to stay in Gnomeregan during the initial Trogg assault. They assisted heavily with keeping the Trogg hordes at bay, but eventually were pushed back further into the city itself. The radiation plan was conceived, and approved despite heavy controversy among the city's residents. Although some fled Gnomeregan at this time, Elaran and Jakt stayed, believing that the plan would allow them to exterminate the Trogg threat. When they realized that Thermaplugg had released the radiation earlier than planned, Elaran and Jakt quickly moved to evacuate the city. As they left, Jakt turned back. He wanted to return to the city and help evacuate more of their fellow Gnomes. Elaran argued that there was little hope of saving more people, and that he should come with her instead. He refused, and their argument became bitter. After a short time, she told him that she would meet him in nearby Kharanos, and proceeded to leave. She never saw Jakt again.

Like many of the Gnomeregan refugees, Elaran struggled to find ways to make a living after the city fell. She held several short jobs, and even turned to begging in Ironforge for a short time. However, she was able to persuade the owner of Kharanos' Thunderbrew Distillery to allow her to work as a barmaid. Over the next few years, she slowly learned the trade, and waited for Jakt to find her. After three years, she began to believe that Jakt had been killed in Gnomeregan. (will fill in more shortly)

Alignment:
Chaotic Good. What Ela defines as morally correct is usually dependent on the situation: aside from a profound belief in the sanctity of individual will, she does not hold to a strict moral code.
