List of Elfquest Characters - Sun Folk Elves

Sun Folk Elves

  • Ahdri female. Granddaughter of Tekshu, great-great-granddaughter of Alekah, great-great-great-great-granddaughter Savah. Working near the Little Palace- a chunk of the Palace of the High Ones shaped by Ekuar and gifted to the Sun Folk in Kings of the Broken Wheel- one day, she discovered a latent ability to rock-shape that she later developed to defend Sorrow's End and ultimately save the Sun Village, first from the nearby volcano's eruption and later from attacking humans. In the act of saving the Little Palace from the troll Thuggop and the attacking humans, Ahdri took a human arrow in the back as she crossed the Bridge of Destiny. She collapsed the bridge with the troll on it and hid behind the sun symbol, where preservers wrapped her wounded body. She was later discovered by half-mad Holt-trolls tunneling under the desert and used her rock-shaping powers to unearth gems for them, to keep them from unwrapping and possibly killing her. She was discovered in a pit by Treestump and Clearbrook and eventually healed by Leetah. She has long, curly golden brown hair, and dark brown eyes.
  • Dodia female. A member of the Jackwolfriders. Recognized lifemate of Door, mother of No-Name. Huntress. She has short black hair and purple eyes. Her jack-wolf, Skimsand, killed Skywise's wolf-friend Starjumper in a challenge. Dodia killed Door when his madness threatened Dart and the others captive inside the human city in the Forevergreen.

Daughter of Toorah and Anatim Suntoucher, sister of Shenshen, former lovemate of Rayek, Recognized lifemate of Cutter, mother of Suntop, later renamed Sunstream, and Ember, adoptive mother of the human girl Shuna.

She has medium brown skin, auburn hair and green eyes, and she's slightly taller than Cutter, not counting both of their hair. Her name means 'healing light.'

Studies the sun and its patterns to guide Sun Villagers in their farming; went blind in early adulthood by looking into the sun too often, but prefers this state and declines to have his daughter restore his sight. Considered the Sun Folk's spiritual leader and, after Savah, the tribe's eldest.

  • Windkin male. Recognized son of Tyldak and Dewshine. Adopted son of Scouter. He can fly and has long, curly golden brown hair and brown eyes. Though he was born half Wolfrider, his wolf blood was forced from him through the dark magic of Winnowill's breastmilk, making him a full blooded Glider. Raised in the Sun Village, he becomes the lovemate of Savah's handmaiden, Ahdri. It is unknown what became of Windkin. Some believe he is the elf sealed in wrapstuff behind the Sun Symbol during the Rebels' time.
  • Yurek male. Lifemate of Savah. Along with Savah, was one of the original elves who fled a faraway forest to found Sorrow's End. A rockshaper, he expended much effort creating the Bridge of Destiny, a rock arch high above the village, then committed suicide by letting himself fall from the bridge.

Famous quotes containing the words sun, folk and/or elves:

    When the ice is covered with snow, I do not suspect the wealth under my feet; that there is as good as a mine under me wherever I go. How many pickerel are poised on easy fin fathoms below the loaded wain! The revolution of the seasons must be a curious phenomenon to them. At length the sun and wind brush aside their curtain, and they see the heavens again.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    In the past, the English tried to impose a system wherever they went. They destroyed the nation’s culture and one of the by- products of their systemisation was that they destroyed their own folk culture.
    Martin Carthy (b. 1941)

    Ye elves of hills, brooks, standing lakes, and groves,
    And ye that on the sands with printless foot
    Do chase the ebbing Neptune, and do fly him
    When he comes back; you demi-puppets that
    By moonshine do the green sour ringlets make,
    Whereof the ewe not bites; and you whose pastime
    Is to make midnight mushrooms,
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
