Elu is hesitant in new things but tries to keep an open mind. It’s difficult to adjust because she is unsure of what would happen if she tries something new and it might end up a bad experience. Not to mention growing up in an isolated village doesn’t give her enough exposure to foreign cultures.

Locals in her homeland know her to be a strong-willed girl who can be brutally honest because she intends to fix the problem right away, she believes that sugar-coating would delay the solution and make it worse. Though she does feel a little bad if someone cries from her criticism.

Being a beastman, she is very agile with a keen sense of smell as well as strength that surpasses humans. She often goes out hunting with the older members of the group and she displays full cooperation with other teammates.

But another thing to note is that she is a black bear beastman, her temperament is calm but she has a thin patience and she will growl or roar in anger. Despite being so small, she has incredible physical strength.

One thing she dislikes is when the team is unstable and problematic, she would quickly abandon that group and do the job herself or find another that’s got their heads together. She’d rather have the task done quickly and efficiently with no side tracking.

Unfortunately, this gives off the impression that she’s cold and unsociable which is far from the truth. She just needs to tone down a little bit.

Elu is actually mature and gives advice for those who can’t look after themselves. She enjoys the simple things in life and can have her moments where she spouts words of wisdom that makes others think she’s a wise, old sage.

Hometown: Bearland Woods

Family History

She grew up in a village where the locals rarely or never interact with outsiders. They aren’t against having outsiders visit but it was clear they don’t know how to handle interacting with people living different lifestyles.

The villagers are all beastmen who are mostly of the bear genus, though there are some who are deer and raccoon. Everyone knows each other and treat each other as if they were all family. Which means they don’t stand idly by if one of them gets hurt.

But they’ve been especially wary of outsiders after a group of shady businessmen started causing problems for them. Some of their people were imprisoned and branded as the bad guys when they retaliated.

They know nothing about the modern laws of the urban society and are pressured to take deals that would only benefit the other party. Thankfully, her father was a firm man and kept refusing them every time. But it won’t be long until they use every influence they have to chase them out of their home.

Elu is upset by these people and how they seem to be driven by their greed. It doesn’t help that they would disrupt the environment with their logging and illegal dumping.

Unlike city folk, life in her village was simple yet satisfying. They take what they need from the forest while also respecting the cycle of life. They don’t hunt out of vanity or pride. The males usually do the hunting but there have been women who are capable enough to hunt alongside them.

Due to Elu’s elder brother being born with weak body, she has taken the task of hunting for food and foraging. She has been taught knowledge on how to traverse the land and recognize edible and non-edible plants from her father.

Childhood Memories

Elu has a fond memory of her father protecting her from a bison that wandered too close, her father struggled but he overpowered the animal and sent it away from their borders. His tall stature and rough features may have come off as intimidating to others but to Elu he was her hero.

She wanted to be like him so she does everything she can to make him proud. Even courageously taking the chance to leave home to attend DCA in order to help their village.

There was an unpleasant memory where she was told to stay in the house by her father but she got curious and peeked to see these formally dressed businessmen. Whatever they said made her father mad, he eventually sent them away.

But what happened after that was scarred into her memory, a couple of houses in her village were suddenly set ablaze, her brother nearly losing his life when he was trapped in the rubble.

She smelled the source of the fire when the businessmen returned, they smelled like gasoline, when she cried out that they were the culprits. They mocked her by asking if they even have any solid evidence as well as a lawyer, implying that her village wouldn’t win because they have the money and power to make it their victory.

Elu’s rage from what the businessmen said made her determined to focus for the benefit of her village but this in turn made her closed off to outsiders. Afraid they would be like the businessmen, lying through their teeth.

Like Jinlong, she has trouble adjusting to the school life due to the culture shock. So, she often keeps to herself while occasionally asking the professors for advice when Elu feels like there was no other option. Which is the reason why she struggled a lot at first.

Not to mention, she doesn’t understand the concept of idol concerts and what the purpose of this was. She isn’t familiar with the pop songs or rock, she was more of a traditionalist but she felt like not many people would be interested in that.

She was at a loss for what she was doing and if she was even trying hard enough. Until Perrine approached her and made Elu comfortable enough to finally figure out how to get used to the school environment and subjects enough to guarantee her that she won’t need to drop out of school.

Putting her inventing skills to use, she does a lot of favors in exchange for what she needs, be it some notes or tutoring. In time, she got better and has gained a reputation for herself in school. Elu thinks that it’s only a small group but in reality she helped a lot of people and they admire her a lot.

Her grades are fairly decent but it was clear that she started to improve the more she managed to understand the foreign subjects. Not among the top students but still high around the B grade.

An excellent archery shooter who can shoot with high accuracy even when on horseback. She is known to even shoot arrows through ring holes as small as a pinky finger.

School Relationships

Elu mostly kept to herself and her “strictly business” attitude made it difficult for idle chit chat. It wasn’t until she was forced to seek out the help of other students that she learns to communicate more.

Even though she was still a bit professional, she at least made progress. She’s learned to try out new things little by little and learn more about new topics.

Perrine was the first to approach her and wasn’t thrown off by Elu’s reluctance. She managed to win her over just a bit with food because who doesn’t? Plus, it would help the girl relax a little and feel welcome.

Rozeline and Elu started off as acquaintances who exchanged information of interest until they became close enough to consider each other as friends in a way. Elu figured she could gain knowledge she needed from Rozeline and in turn can hope to put her issues in the urban public.

Elu found Rozeline’s inventions innovative and would take notes from her, but she’s sure to also provide her own feedback on how to make it eco-friendly while still efficient.

Jinlong was an enigma to Elu, she has never seen other beastmen let alone something like a dragonkin like Jinlong. So, she is both intrigued but also intimidated. When she got to know Jinlong by chance, she began to admire her. Their goals were different but they both relate to feeling out of place, but unlike Elu who was hesitant at first, Jinlong pushed through and got to her position.

Skilli sees Elu as this lost bear cub who is figuring out the right path, but with so many things she doesn’t know, finding the right path seems impossible. Skilli’s form is from Elu’s desire to find the way to settle her problems that won’t end in turmoil.

Skilli shares her knowledge to Elu as well as guide her to opening her eyes to new things she won’t find from the comforts of her home. Skilli teaches her how to cherish those differences in order to understand the world better. The fairy is the wisest and the most patient out of all the dorm fairies.

Matelot

She is a woodpecker and acts as Elu’s scout, always on the lookout for anything of interest from the treetops. Matelot often marks using symbols that Elu recognizes, she even knows Morse code.

Matelot is very quiet and likes to hide her presence, often scaring people and other animals when she starts pecking away. An animal of very little words, she talks softly into people’s ears before leaving the conversation.

Tala

She is a gypsy vanner horse with a calm temperament. No matter what chaos goes on in the background she just goes, “Oh, the usual?” then does her own thing. But when it’s an emergency, she can go from calm to serious when needed.

Elu often rides on her back to drive away approaching danger. Tala is also powerful enough to push away fallen trees and break small boulders.

Her Unique Magic is called, “Arrow of the Wind”, she can control any direction her arrows to follow her targets with a special wind spell that only she can cast. She can make the wind faster and therefore have a greater impact on the arrows.

She can also use it as a shield, any projectiles within her line of sight can be slowed down or be redirected back to her opponent.

Elu’s magical capability is mostly nature based. Though these abilities are used to benefit her village more than mainly using them for combat, unless she needed to as a last resort. She seeks to use her skills in creating more contraptions that make life easier but not at the cost of the ecosystem.

Mato Sorrel

The chief of their village, he is a large bear beastman who is strong enough to carry about five pine logs. He is having trouble with the businessmen who try to trespass their land and try to trick him into signing a ‘beneficial’ contract, he refuses every time because he didn’t have the opportunity to gain outside knowledge. He isn’t narrow-minded to think that outsiders are greedy but he just hopes that his daughter will be able to handle herself in the academy and hopefully bring an end to the trespassers.

Alo Sorrel (23)

He has a weak body so he isn’t able to hunt or participate in activities involving strength, he chooses to help the village to advance economically while keeping the environment in mind. He often sends letters to Elu to inform her what has been happening in the village. He feels guilty that he can’t do much to prevent trespassers from walking all over their homeland due to his weak body.

The character’s name, “Elu” means “Full of Grace” and is a name of Native American origin while the last name, “Sorrel”, means “reddish brown”. The artist just thought this last name sounded better fitting for the character despite the meaning.

Elu’s dorm, Sagamore, was considered to be the equivalent of the Savanaclaw in NRC. Most of the students there are beastmen much like Savanaclaw. Though, Dragonstone, also shares this comparison but Sagamore has more beastmen than Dragonstone does.

She was originally going to be written with the same wise and calm personality like Pocahontas but then it was changed to be a tougher personality with the sense of adventure and navigation like John Smith. The calm personality went to her brother.

The artist chose to assign a bear to Elu as a nod to Brother Bear as well as to fit the characteristic of someone that looks cute but is actually fierce.

Elu was the hardest to design since the first design had too much details and took the longest to draw, not to mention drawing a mechanical bow was difficult for the artist since contraptions are tricky.

The artist is open to criticism and opinions regarding Native American culture since the internet isn’t always helpful.

DCA Info Part 23: Sagamore Dorm 🐻🏹🪶

Sagamore (サガモア寮, Sagamoa Ryō) was founded on the Diplomacy (外交) of the Princess of Nature's Voice and is inspired by the world of Pocahontas. Students of this dorm excel in Ancient Rune Reading and Archery.

Dorm Founder: Pocahontas

Known in-universe as the Princess of Nature's Voice (自然の声の姫).

Dorm Crest

The dorm crest features an emblem that resembles a wooden shield, with the interior being beige with light brown leaf and vine patterns and the exterior being amber orange in color. In the center of the interior, there is a compass rose with a cream interior with a brown circle outline in the center with a red and blue compass star in front of it. The compass rose additionally has a red and blue outline. Near the top of the emblem is a red banner with the dorm's name on it. Encompassing the center of the exterior emblem is a necklace that resembles Pocahontas' trademark necklace, on both sides of the exterior emblem are various red and orange colored leaves blowing in the wind and at the top of the exterior emblem are minimalist pictures of Meeko the raccoon and Flit the hummingbird.

Dorm Leader: Elu Sorrel

Sagamore's current dorm leader is Elu Sorrel, a princess who's skilled at archery and has trust issues with people trying to occupy the land her village is located at.

Dorm Fairy: Skili

Skili (スキリ, Sukiri) is Sagamore's dorm fairy and vice dorm leader. She is mellow and isn't much of a chatterbox but she is very patient with those who are energetic and hyper. She would take strolls in the forest area and converse with the animals, sometimes she'd bump into students in the forest. She is a fairy with few words to say but has a strong presence in the dorm.

Her current appearance symbolizes Elu's desire to become a great leader like her father. Someone who is approachable for her people but able to give off the presence of authority.

Dorm Living Quarters

• The Sagamore dorm living quarters building is built on a large oak tree that has a hollow inside but due to the several trees that intertwined with the outside of the trunk it can withstand strong winds and storms.

• The interior of the tree has become the world's biggest treehouse, with gears and pulleys that serve as make-shift elevator to the several floors that was built in. The middle has a staircase that leads to the same floors, this is also in case the pulley needs to be repaired or is unusable for the time being. The students use the tree as a viewing spot and help maintain the wooden contraptions inside. There's also a mini library, cafeteria and workshop built inside. The inventions are built with little use of metal and are built from organic material that is eco-friendly.

• Inside the tree, there are several nests for the birds in the branches while the base has several burrows for the woodland creatures. The students who are experts in animal care check on the animals for any injuries or sicknesses. Surrounding the dorm is a forest where there have been wood carvings and markers to make sure no one gets lost. There are several markers that specify whether it's a foraging spot, a spot for wild animals as well as a warning for dangerous animals or possible cliffs and dangerous plants.

• The students are good at geography and are able to navigate the forest surrounding their dorm with little difficulty.

• The student's personal quarters are located outside the tree base. They are intricately built log houses that it may look rather small on the outside but inside it isn't cramped at all. It is because of a certain magic that makes the room look so much bigger than the outside.The log houses are built at the front area of the tree so it looks like a small village when you see it from a bird's eye view.

• The students are also responsible for making their own furniture and the designs. There are plenty of art projects and inventions that are displayed around the area. There is a demand for their craftsmanship in the marketplace, you could find some of the students get opportunities from guilds who admire their work.

• There is also a large bonfire in the front of the tree, the bonfire has a fire fae that likes to make images out of the smoke and entertain the students.

Etymology

The dorm's name is derived from the word "sagamore" which is a word that some native American tribes use refer to their chief. This references the fact that Pocahontas (both the Disney version and the historical figure she's based on) was a Native American woman and the daughter of Chief Powhatan, the leader of the Powhatan people.

The marke of Josiah ye Sachem (Josias Chikatabut).

Also known as Josias Wampatuck and Josias Sagamore. Massachusett sachem at Mattakeesett, land at and near the place today called Quincy, Massachusetts. In this document, dated June 14, 1667, Josias Chikatabut is identified as “Sachem of the Massachusets Indians” and asks that the town of Dorchester “would give him a deed of gift, of that six thousand acres at punkopauog [sic] which the town gave to the Indians.”

Josias Chickatabut’s kin: father, Obtakiest or Chickatabut; children called Jeremy, Abigail, and Charles Wampatuck.

Translated from the Algonquian, Wompatuck may mean white deer, or snow goose. Chickataubut may mean thankful fire. We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments!

Seen at the Massachusetts State Archives.

Wenemouett Sagamore. His Mark. 

Penobscot. Sachem. Wenemouett’s homelands across the central parts of so-called “Maine.” 

This mark, in print, appears on “The Conference with the Eastern Indians, at the Ratification of the Peace, held at Falmouth in Casco-Bay, in July and August, 1726.” Printed in Boston in 1726. This peace agreement between the Penobscot and English colonizers was signed amid tensions between Wabanaki nations and the French and English in Wabanaki territories. 

This is the first time we are sharing a mark as it appears in a published source - meaning a piece of type was created from the mark and printed through a printing press to be reproduced many times for the publication. This differs from our usual share of a hand-written, pictograph mark on an original, or handwritten copy of an original manuscript document. The handwritten mark alongside the printed one would make an interesting comparison. 

From “The Conference with the Eastern Indians, at the Ratification of the Peace, held at Falmouth in Casco-Bay, in July and August, 1726,” Boston, 1726. The copy shown is held at the John Carter Brown Library.
