 * "Ignorance is bliss, for learning is the highest joy."
 * - High Elf Archer

High Elf Archer is an adventurer who is a part of Goblin Slayer's party. She is a 2,000 year old elf, which is considered young by elven standards.

Appearance
High Elf Archer is a slender and tall elf with green hair that is long in the back and short in front, with two braids at the side. She has longer ears that confirms her status as a High Elf. She wears a green sleeveless archer corset, shorts, a pair of uneven black gloves, knee high boots, and a hood. She is described as stunningly beautiful, even among elves. On several occasions she is shown to take the immediate attention of males. She has a small bust, which she is sensitive about.

Personality
In spite of her age and experience, she is still quite innocent to the darker aspects of the world. Her first quest with Goblin Slayer has her witness the brutal and severely-overlooked cruelty of goblins for the first time, followed by joylessly killing the perpetrators up close. By the end of this affair, she was soaked in goblin blood and sported dull eyes of unhappiness.

Her great age does not stop her from childish outbursts and lofty ideas about what an "adventure" entails. It is implied that she spent most of that time living a sheltered life within Elven territory.

Background
High Elf Archer lived her life with others of her kind. When she was young, High Archer would practice singing. She, at some point, developed a curiosity about the world, which led to her becoming an adventurer. Some time after, High Elf Archer was chosen by her people to represent them.

Goblin Slayer Volume 1
High Elf Archer, along with Dwarf Shaman and Lizard Priest went to the frontier to find Goblin Slayer and request his aid. Upon meeting him at the guild, she became outraged at Goblin Slayer's refusal to confront demons in favor of goblins, but was reminded of their true objective; they wanted Goblin Slayer's help in destroying a large goblin nest near elven territory, as there were not enough people to deal with Goblins due to an increase in demons and monsters. High Elf Archer added that the elf army could not mobilize to attack the goblins, as it would create suspicion and panic if they were focusing only on killing the weakest monsters.

When they arrived at the goblins' base, High Elf Archer was appalled at the state of a captured elven woman and felt extreme hatred for the goblins. She later helped in massacring a large group of goblins who were put to sleep using the group's magic, before fighting the Ogre that led them. As the adventurers were going back to town, High Elf Archer promised herself to take Goblin Slayer on a real adventure.

When Goblin Slayer requested every adventurer at the guild to help fight back against at least a hundred goblins led by a Goblin Lord, High Elf Archer was one of the initial adventurers who volunteered to join him. After the battle, a drunk High Elf Archer was surprised after seeing Goblin Slayer without his helmet on.

Goblin Slayer Volume 2
High Elf Archer and her party members took Goblin Slayer on a adventure to slay the goblins beneath Water Town. During their second visit to the catacombs, the party was locked in by goblins anticipating their arrival. High Elf Archer and the adventurers attempted to repel the wave of goblins, but they were overwhelmed; High Elf Archer being held down and forcibly stripped. Luckily, when Goblin Slayer began strangling the goblin champion, Dwarf Shaman found the opportunity to rescue High Elf Archer by slaying the goblins around her. She reluctantly thanked him for rescuing her, before the adventurers managed to repel the goblins.

Once Goblin Slayer and Priestess recovered, High Elf Archer and the rest of the party encountered and killed a monster guarding a mirror. The party deduced that the mirror functioned as the gateway allowing goblins to enter the sewers. While Lizard Priest began removing the mirror, High Elf Archer helped to defend against the goblins' second attack before escaping with the rest of the party. Above the rubble that crushed the goblins, High Elf Archer kicked Goblin Slayer once he stated their method didn't involve fire, water or an explosion.

Goblin Slayer Volume 3
She joined the festival alongside her party members to repel a Goblin attack led by Dark Elf.
