High Elf Archer/Synopsis

Background
High Elf Archer lived with others of her kind. When she was young, High Elf Archer would practice singing. Her sister, Forest Princess, taught her everything she knew, such as about fruits and herbs, while their cousin, a ranger and tracker, taught her archery and how to cross a field in a hurry. At some point, she developed a curiosity about the world, which led to her becoming an Adventurer; while her sister was opposed to this, their cousin gave his support. Sometime after, High Elf Archer was chosen by her people to represent them in a show of racial cooperation in destroying a large Goblin Nest, and teamed up with Dwarf Shaman and Lizard Priest. When asked about a Human representative, High Elf Archer suggested seeking out the famed Goblin Slayer, a mysterious skilled man in ballads who slew Goblins for little reward keeping the Frontier safe, whose legend High Elf Archer became enamored with.

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 Adventurer's 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 went back to town, High Elf Archer promised herself to take Goblin Slayer on a real adventure instead of just slaying goblins.

When Goblin Slayer requested every adventurer at the guild to help fight back against a horde of 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 to see Goblin Slayer without his helmet on and announced the reveal to the entire guild.

Goblin Slayer Volume 2
High Elf Archer and her party members took Goblin Slayer on an 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 was 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
During the festival, Goblin Slayer informed her and his other party members that goblins were approaching the town on two fronts. With the party deciding to split up, High Elf Archer and Priestess made quick work of the goblins on one side, with the help of traps Goblin Slayer had previously set up.

She and Priestess later regrouped with the rest of the party to deal with an advance of goblins, led by Dark Elf. High Elf Archer fired an arrow that would have gone through his forehead, but to her horror, it was deflected by the empowered elf right before it landed. Despite realizing Dark Elf wielded the power of an ancient giant which was impervious to arrows, High Elf Archer continued to fire shot after shot; after Goblin Slayer poisoned Dark Elf, High Elf Archer shot an arrow through Dark Elf's neck to prevent him from finishing an incantation.

Goblin Slayer Volume 4
As she awoke on her day off, High Elf Archer was faced with her poor housekeeping and forced herself to do her laundry, to which she lamented she wished she could get woodland elemental spirits to do the job for her. As she was impressed with her mundane victory, Guild Girl ran into her and, seeing her laundry, questioned her about the underwear that she helped her buy. High Elf Archer admitted she couldn't understand them and "buried them", much to her friend's chagrin, and was forced to go shopping for some again only to complain until Guild Girl finally gave up.

Returning to the Guild, High Elf Archer and Guild Girl found a tabletop game and with Inspector acting as Dungeon Master, let them run a campaign which High Elf Archer lost. With Priestess and Cow Girl showing up, High Elf Archer convinced them to help her in her game and chose a "Dwarf Warrior" as her player to annoy Dwarf Shaman. Sadly though, High Elf Archer still lost and lamented her rotten luck.

By the end of the day, High Elf Archer and Guild Girl shared a glass of wine and toasted their day off.

Goblin Slayer Volume 5
With a letter from Sword Maiden requesting help, High Elf Archer journeyed to the Northern mountains searching for Noble Fencer, an up-and-coming rookie who had recently disappeared with her Party. After liberating a village from an attacking Goblin Horde, High Elf Archer went with the Party to scout out the cave they were living, only for herself to be wounded by a broken arrow from a Goblin, showing the Goblins were learning from her tricks and that a very intelligent Goblin was leading the local Horde. Thankfully, Priestess and Lizard Priest were able to administer first-aid immediately. Further on, the Party had achieved their goal of locating Noble Fencer, who was abused by the Goblins and branded with a strange symbol that High Elf Archer noted worried Goblin Slayer and the more learned members of the Party.

After getting healed and helping prepare a plan to take out the "Goblin Paladin" that Goblin Slayer had surmised was leading the Horde, High Elf Archer suggested against bringing Noble Fencer along who pleaded to join them. When Goblin Slayer agreed to let her come, High Elf Archer made it clear to her that she would be keeping an eye on her. High Elf Archer didn't really get a chance to keep an eye on Noble Fencer as she was more annoyed with her role in the plan as "Female Hostage #1", complaining about how humiliating it was despite accepting it being the best plan. Dwarf Shaman, however, called her out stating he knew she just wanted to play "Evil Dark Elf Maiden" instead.

Inside the Goblin fortress, High Elf Archer is quickly angered when Noble Fencer acts on her own and immediately kills a Goblin Shaman which causes problems later the Goblin Paladin awaits his coronation. Realizing the situation they were now in, High Elf Archer went with Lizard Priest and Dwarf Shaman as they split up and worked to destroy the Goblins' supplies and save the captured women. After they succeeded, she and her group reunited with the rest of the Party outside.

Outside, High Elf Archer was shocked to find that the Goblin Paladin had gone scorched earth and was suicidally throwing what was left at his army at the Party. When Goblin Slayer comes up with another insane plan, High Elf Archer attempts to chastise him, but his avalanche does succeed in wiping out the goblin army and the Paladin. With the success, High Elf Archer returns to the Frontier to celebrate the start of the New Year.

Goblin Slayer Volume 6
With the start of Spring, High Elf Archer was roped into helping the Party clear out Goblin Nests and, much to her annoyance, more of Goblin Slayer's insane but effective tactics. This leads her to scold Goblin Slayer again as they prepare for another quest and take notice of the vast amount of rookie Adventures signing up for the Spring enrollment. High Elf Archer also realized that Priestess was up for a promotional review, and wished her luck in her attempt to become Steel Rank.

The next day, High Elf Archer was saddened and irritated to hear that Priestess had failed her promotional exam due to the Guild staff fearing her traveling with Silver Ranks, had inflated her exp points. While High Elf Archer was annoyed she accepted the wizened advice of Lizard Priest and even made suggestions of her own like advising Priestess to go on smaller adventures with her fellow rookie friends. This was interrupted by Wizard Boy, a new rookie, who proceeded to mock Priestess's failure and accuse her of hiding in the back row, an act that earned him the ire of ALL Priests in the Guild as well as High Elf Archer's wrath. Female Knight diffused the situation by forcing Wizard boy to temporarily join High Elf Archer's Party while under the leadership of Priestess for a mission to slay Goblins.

During the mission, High Elf Archer took her orders from Priestess with encouragement, praising the rookie for her planning and for how far she had come under their tutelage. However, Wizard Boy had only become more irritating in High Elf Archer's eyes as he refused to listen to orders and only complained about everything. Things took a turn for the worse as Wizard Boy fell for a trap laid out by the Goblins and their Troll, forcing High Elf Archer to rescue him. As Priestess gave Goblin Slayer command of the Party during the dangerous situation, High Elf Archer covered the retreat allowing Goblin Slayer and Dwarf Shaman to slay the Troll.

After helping out the rookies at the new training camp, High Elf Archer was recruited by Goblin Slayer and the other veterans to deal with a massive tunnel Goblins built to attack the training grounds. While she complained about the lack of flair Goblin Slaying had as usual, she was just as shocked about the Goblins' tactical strike on the training ground as everyone else.

Goblin Slayer Volume 7
At the tavern, High Elf Archer announced that her older sister was going to get married to their cousin and invited the party, Guild Girl and Cow Girl to the event. She later went with the party to kill goblins infesting a church, where they rescued the survivors and recovered several clay tablets. On a trip to deliver the tablets to the Temple of Law in Water Town, High Elf Archer took the girls' gift shopping around town. Once the tablets were delivered, the group set sail the next day on a raft toward the elves' home. Sensing something coming for them, High Elf Archer and the others readied their weapons to fend off the goblin riders attacking them from the banks, long enough for Priestess to clear the way of debris and Lizard Priest to frighten them off. After the party set up shelter in the forest, High Elf Archer and the girls played in the river, before eating together with the entire group and telling them about her sister and the groom.

High Elf Archer and the party woke up to be confronted by her older cousin, prompting her to tell him that the group were her friends. After being escorted by the elves' forest, High Elf Archer proudly welcomed her friends to her home. Soon after, as High Elf Archer played with the rope Goblin Slayer was preparing, the two adventurers encountered her sister Forest Princess who scolded her for her immature behavior. She then witnessed Goblin Slayer approach and tell an elf attendant that he killed her tormentors. When she and her sister were alone, Forest Princess asked her to consider quitting adventuring with her friends. As High Elf Archer explained her reasons for doing so, they were alerted by a thunderous noise. She, along with Goblin Slayer went to investigate and encountered the beast Mokele Mubenbe. High Elf Archer worked together with her party to knock the beast unconscious and kill its goblin riders.

After she and her sister excused themselves from a meeting, the two continued their earlier conversation. In response to her sister, High Elf Archer acknowledged that human lives were short, but stated her intention to stay with Goblin Slayer regardless. When her sister brought up the fact that she would inevitably part with him, High Elf Archer told her that she thought otherwise and quoted Dwarf Shaman: "The hangover is part of the fun of drinking".

High Elf Archer and the party later made their way to and snuck into the Goblin hideout situated near her home. After discovering an adventurer's body crushed under a press, they learned that the Goblins were polluting the river with excrement and blood in an effort to create a curse. As the party took a brief rest after burying a mutilated adventurer, High Elf Archer rebuked Goblin Slayer for suggesting their burial and what the Goblins did were the same. To her surprise, Goblin Slayer apologized for bringing that up, and in response, High Elf Archer stated that she wasn't fond of Goblin slaying, but didn't want her sister to marry while Goblins were nearby. During the subsequent battle against the goblins and their goblin shaman leader, she landed an arrow in the Shaman's shoulder. However, she and the others were rendered unconscious when the shaman cast Sleep Cloud. Fortunately, thanks to Priestess' Purify injuring the shaman, High Elf Archer and the others woke up, and they retreated before the water flooded the castle and killed the Goblins.

During the wedding, Goblin Slayer asked High Elf Archer if she wanted to stay with the elves. She responded that from the elves' point of view, she had only been away from home for a few days. She became happy when Goblin Slayer was able to congratulate her sister's marriage, as she hadn't expected him to say anything like that. After Priestess offered a prayer to the elves, High Elf Archer took Cow Girl and Guild Girl to the front to catch her sister's crown of flowers. Three days later, she and the group returned to the frontier town, all the while the Elves were still celebrating her Sister's wedding!

Goblin Slayer Volume 8
Sword Maiden made contact with Goblin Slayer and requested his services to be her bodyguard as she journeyed to the Capital to meet The King. Although High Elf Archer quickly was able to ascertain that Sword Maiden just wanted to be with Goblin Slayer, she and the rest of the Party accepted being roped into the guard detail, which she agreed was better than Goblin Slaying.

At the Capital, High Elf Archer went with Priestess to visit the grave of one of her first Party Members, Wizard, and offered her condolences. Later, they went to a public Bath to relax but things took a turn for the shocking when High Elf Archer learned that the girl they just met, who bore an uncanny resemblance to Priestess, had "borrowed" Priestess's chainmail and left her jewels as compensation. After discovering that Priestess' lookalike was The Princess and that she was captured by Goblins to be a virgin sacrifice, High Elf Archer was recruited along with the rest of her Party to rescue her.

Journeying to the fabled Dungeon of the Dead, High Elf Archer and her Party battled the Goblin Priest who was trying to resurrect the Demon Lord using Princess as a virgin sacrifice. Thanks to their quick thinking though, Princess was saved, forcing the Goblin Priest to sacrifice itself to revive the Demon Lord's hand which creeped High Elf Archer out. Thanks to backup from Sword Maiden and another one of Goblin Slayer's out-of-the-box plans, the Party was victorious.

Goblin Slayer Volume 9
During the Winter, High Elf Archer debated whether she wanted to bed down for the Winter or go exploring; to which her adventurous spirit one out as Goblin Slayer went off with Cow Girl on an errand. When Rookie Warrior and Apprentice Cleric went to Priestess for help, High Elf Archer jumped at the chance for a "real adventure", and roped Dwarf Shaman and Lizard Priest into it.

Traveling up the Northern Mountains, High Elf Archer complained about the cold but wanted to show off her new ski cap which only served to annoy Dwarf Shaman. Eventually, the Party was met by Harefolk Hunter, who guided them to her village which was being plagued by Yeti under the control of the Ice Witch. As the Yeti appeared, High Elf Archer helped to outsmart them with Priestess' clever (but devious) plan to dispatch them. High Elf Archer then went with Priestess to scout ahead and identify the Ice Witch and her magic drums that have been prolonging the Winter.

Assessing the situation, High Elf Archer agreed it was best for herself, Dwarf Shaman, and Lizard Priest to battle the Yeti while Priestess led the Rookie Duo and Harefolk Hunter inside the cave to find the enchanted arrow that could kill the Ice Witch. High Elf Archer found the Yeti army no real challenge but admitted alongside her allies but did take note that they were more troublesome than she would've liked. However, as the team of Rookies succeeded in their mini-quest, the Ice Witch was killed, the Drums of Winter recovered, and the Yeti retreated deeper into the mountains.

After splitting off from the Rookie Duo so they could reap the spoils, High Elf Archer and the rest of the Party noticed smoke rising from a small abandoned village at the bottom of the mountain. Trusting their guts, they immediately assumed Goblin Slayer had a hand in whatever was going on and used frozen blankets as sleds to rush down the mountain. Arriving in time to aid Goblin Slayer, High Elf Archer and the Party worked together to drown the Ogre.

Goblin Slayer Volume 10
During the Summer, High Elf Archer lent her aid to the Temple of the Earth Mother in order to protect their vineyards alongside the rest of her Party. Their inspection of a potential Goblin Nest led them to discover an undead mound of Goblins, commanded by a demon, which alleviated High Elf Archer's exasperation with the situation of Goblins. Afterwards, High Elf Archer was introduced to the vineyard's manager Sister Grape, who thanked her and her Party for helping her.

Later, after unsettling rumors began to mysteriously and coincidentally stir about Sister Grape, High Elf Archer decided to look into the mystery after seeing how much they bothered Priestess. While Goblin Slayer enlisted some help from old friends, High Elf Archer and the rest of the Party, as well as other Adventurers, took turns guarding the Temple of the Earth Mother and the vineyard in between their investigations.

After the rumors were confirmed false and the culprit was caught, a terrible plan was revealed involving an attack on the Temple of the Earth Mother, the Frontier Town, and the outskirts of the Water Town. While many of the rookies and mid-tier Adventurers went to the defense of the Temple and veterans went to the Undead Mound, High Elf Archer got roped into going to the Water Town to fend off an army of Goblins. While displeased, she performed her job well as she took to the high ground and took out the Goblins, noticing their boats and a newly made chariot.

After the events of the raid on the Temple of the Earth Mother, the Summer Grape Harvest goes off without a hitch and a small festival is held. High Elf Archer gets in on the fun, wearing the special garbs and joining in on the smashing of the grapes with the rest of the girls.

Goblin Slayer Volume 11
With Noble Fencer, now called "Female Merchant", returning to the Frontier Town, High Elf Archer was elated to see her and happy to accept her on a Quest she wanted them to help her with. Despite being annoyed by the Quest that involved Goblins again, High Elf Archer perked up when she learned the Party would be traveling far to the East into the neighboring Desert Kingdom.

Traveling to the Desert to the East, High Elf Archer shows off her new Desert Garbs to the Party who are either uninterested or impressed with how pretty the outfit is. High Elf Archer's scouting and archery skills were perfect for the environment, and the vast open view allowed her to easily spy bandits disguised as soldiers and very well-equipped Goblin Raiders, which roused heavy suspicion on the state of the Country. After hiding in an abandoned village to hide from a deadly sandstorm, High Elf Archer and her Party are given aid and shepherded to the Capital of the Desert Kingdom by the timely arrival of Myrmidon Monk and his fleet of sand ships.

In the Desert Kingdom's capital city, High Elf Archer enjoyed herself with the other girls and swiftly performed her scouting duties as Goblin Slayer went to meet up with the Rogue's Guild. After the Party regrouped and Female Merchant acted as a diversion with the guards, High Elf Archer led the Party into the Desert Fortress. Inside, the Party found a dungeon breeding ground for Goblins. Disgusted, High Elf Archer helped liberate the girls that were still alive and regrouped with Female Merchant who had taken care of the guards upstairs. Sensing the Goblins below had been whipped into a frenzy, High Elf Archer and the rest of the Party splintered off from the liberated girls (taken to an escape sand ship by a Dragontooth Warrior) and led the Goblin Army further up the Fortress so the Desert Army could destroy them.

Jumping from the ramparts and onto the Sand Ship, High Elf Archer was happy at a completed mission and was ready for some rest as the ship drifted away from the fortress. However, the ship drifts into a rock outcropping that happens to be home to a hibernating Red Dragon, one that has been awakened by a Goblin! High Elf Archer was exasperated by yet another Goblin problem, she helped her Party kill the Goblin and put the Dragon back to sleep. Victorious, High Elf Archer realized she finally got Goblin Slayer to fight a Dragon and she teased him with the possibility of him becoming "Dragon Slayer".

Goblin Slayer Volume 12
After Heavy Warrior takes Goblin Slayer and Spearman with him on another secret mission, High Elf Archer decides to take Female Knight up on her offer on a "Girl's Only" quest with Witch and the newly promoted Sapphire Ranked Priestess to defend a besieged fortress. High Elf Archer was an indispensable help for the defenders as she worked with Witch to attack the army while Female Knight fought off the bigger enemies who would breach the walls.

Later, a powerful enemy arrives, a Peryton with the ability to magically kill random fortress defenders despite High Elf Archer firing her arrows upon it and hitting the mark. When the beast retreats and announces itsi ntent to return the next day, High Elf Archer plans with the ladies on his to beat it and all settle on Priestess distract the creature while the rest prepare to ambush it.

With Priestess's long "Riddle Battle" against the Peryton, the ladies are able to draw the Peryton out into the Sun and Light, revealing that it was cloaked in magic which made it temporarily invulnerable. With the illusion lifted, the ladies slay the beast and win the day for the Defenders.

Goblin Slayer Volume 13
After yet another Goblin Slaying Quest, much to High Elf Archer's annoyance, she was happy to realize that Winter was coming, which meant the Goblins would be going into hibernation, which meant she could finally start convincing Goblin Slayer to go on other types of Quests.
