The image above left shows Shea, armed with a bow and arrows.

Above right is Mercy, armed with a staff that has a curved blade attached. Staffs are often used by magic wielders to fire magical energy at a target - and as a physical weapon in close combat. The curved blade attachment is an unusual addition. The blade may be functional - or might be just to intimidate enemies - making Mercy look more like a Reaper or Avenging Angel.

Both elves have impressive wings - so would use magic to to enhance the power of their weapons.



Elves with Fierce Adult Dragons

Many of the figurines depict elves alongside fierce adult dragons - often guarding something.

The figurine below left shows Sophia with her fierce skeleton dragon companion Draconis .

Very few of the figurines depict skeleton dragons, which do not really fit in with conventional concepts. Such dragons cannot be alive - so must be animated by magic.

Since Sophia's wings are unusually small, one can imagine that Sophia must have sacrificed her wings to raise Draconis from the dead - and now controls the dragon using her crystal ball.

The figurine below right show Arya with her white fire dragon companion. They are clearly guarding treasure. Many of the most dramatic and stunning figurines released over the years depict elves with fierce dragons - but the current figurines tend to be in more affectionate poses.
