Ellana could say the same. For the entirety of her life, she's been taught that humans are dangerous and that they hate elves, and she's always believed that surely that isn't the case for all of them. Being here, she's found she's right. Sure, some people have been unkind, but overall, people aren't worrying about who she is, rather what she does. They're all here to aid the Inquisition, aren't they?

When Katniss takes off, Ellana spins with her staff, dealing with the new weight and adjusting how she balances it as she shoots a lightning spell at one of the targets. Her magic feels the same as always, so it's good the staff blade hasn't changed that.
