High Elf Archer


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

High Elf Archer (妖精弓手) 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 wears a sleeveless shirt, shorts, 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. Before the start of the story, High Elf Archer was chosen by her people to represent them.

Goblin Slayer Volume 1
High Elf Archer came with Dwarf Shaman and Lizard Priest to find Goblin Slayer and recruit his help. They faced some trouble earlier as they are unable to pronounce "Goblin Slayer" and refer to him by other names (mostly Orcbolg and Beardcutter), until they found him. They revealed their objective; due to the increase in other demon monsters, there were not enough people to deal with Goblins. At the same time, the elf army could not mobilize to attack the goblins as it would create suspicion and panic, if the army were focusing only on taking out the weakest monsters. They wished to hire Goblin Slayer to help them kill goblins. Her party also joined him to help.

When they got to the goblins' base, she 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.

Goblin Slayer Volume 2
High Elf and her party members took Goblin Slayer on a adventure to slay the goblins beneath Water Town.

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