    Early life

    In Eragon, Elva is first introduced as an orphaned baby who was being cared for by an old woman, Greta , The two had fled the Broddring Kingdom, ruled by Galbatorix, to the dwarven city of Tronjheim to seek refuge with the dwarves and the Varden. When Eragon and Saphira arrived in Tronjheim to join the Varden, Greta begged the Dragon Rider and dragon to bless Elva with their magic. Saphira touched her brow, leaving a silver star upon her forehead in the form of the Gedwëy ignasia, and Eragon used the Ancient Language to bless Elva. However, in Eldest, Eragon learned that he mistakenly cursed Elva instead of blessing her, by messing up his verb conjugation and using the word for "shield", as opposed to "shielded" by in the Ancient Language replacing the "-rö" suffix with an "-r". The complete spell Eragon used was, "Atra guliä un ilian tauthr ono un atra ono waíse skölir fra rauthr", which translates to, "May luck and happiness follow you and may you be a shield from misfortune". What Eragon really meant, was "May luck and happiness follow you and may you be shielded from misfortune". As a consequence, Elva aged rapidly, having the appearance of a 4-year-old in a matter of weeks, and she spoke in the voice of a grown woman. She grew up with feeling the pain of everyone around her, and was doomed to "shield" others within a certain physical range of proximity fro…

    Author Christopher Paolini confirmed that Elva was originally considered for the role of "Green Rider" in Inheritance, before he chose Arya instead. He also confirmed that it was "possible" that Elva could become a Dragon Rider in the future. However, Paolini voiced his concerns that making Elva a Rider would make her "overpowered", citing her "amazing ability". He said, "being a Rider as well seems like overkill to me", but also revealed, "If she were, though, she'd be pretty scary. Even Galbatorix wouldn't have stood a chance against her".

    Paolini also stated in another interview as to whether Elva will ever meet Thorn, Murtagh's dragon: "They will definitely meet at some point. No question about it."

    Elva is described as having piercing violet purple eyes, dark hair, pale skin, and angular facial features: "Her sharp-angled face was bone white, for she rarely ventured outside." (Brisingr, "Winged Tidings", p. 113) She also has a star-shaped gedwëy ignasia on her brow; hence, her nickname, "Shining Brow".

    Elva's unusual purple eyes, per author Christopher Paolini, are a result of Eragon and Saphira's blessing: "Elva’s eyes have been affected by Eragon’s actions. The color of her eyes is the physical manifestation of the magic that flows through her, just as Durza’s maroon eyes and crimson hair reflected the amount of energy that coursed through him."

    At the end of Inheritance, Elva is a young girl, even though she is only around four years old chronologically. According to author Christopher Paolini in a Q&A, "Elva's growth/maturation leveled off once she reached the point where she was able to start interacting with her environment, and being able to protect people from their pain. Once that happened, there wasn't a reason for her spell/curse to accelerate her growth any further."

    As of The Fork, the Witch, and the Worm, Eragon mentions that Elva now appears to be "around 10 years old" physically.
