Effie - Behind The Scenes (The Seven Realms)

Effie was born in Nym'Shiral (the Sprite Realm). The only daughter of the Sprite King Kerros and the Vampire Queen Solana.

While in Terran, she grew close to many. Outside those living at the Estate, two of her closest friends were the vampires, Ling Guo and Louzolo.

She was always pure of heart and wanted nothing but the best for everyone she came into contact with. She was the kind of person that could resolve a conflict by her presence alone.

Effie was light as Lucius was dark, which is why they were the perfect mates. He became softer thanks to her kind nature, and she learnt to be firmer thanks to his brutal ways.

In many ways, Leyala took after her. In the sense that Effie could be too trusting and refused to use violence. Unfortunately, Ophelia knew that and took advantage of it...

While Effie is not in a state to be interacted with currently, she is the underlying driving force behind the story.

Effie is the force behind the character's journey. Without Effie, there wouldn't be any reason to travel through each realm. People we've spoken to in our community seem to have an affinity for Effie. I hope that the more you learn about her, the more you'll care for her and her significance to our characters.

Character model:

She's basically just Leyala, right? Effie was one of the first character models I created, and I wasn't as confident back then with deviating too far from where I started. I was surprised after we first saw Effie in the game that nobody drew the comparison between how similar they looked. But I assume it was probably just people thinking I was lazy with the models.

I still love her, and her hair does set her apart from Leyala. If she had similar hair to Ley, I think that the similarities would be even more apparent. From a technical aspect, though, her hair is a nightmare and can be pretty hard to work with when posing her scenes.
