Let's hear your reasonings.

Me?

Well, I tried to pass this off as mistaken identity for several years.
I had been accused on several occasions of being one of Santa's elves. This, of course, I used to my advantage to quell savage pint-size beasties. It's my nose...pointy.
Who better to judge than the innocents themselves (rhetorical). I do love mischeif. Who better to control havoc than one who has an extensive resume creating such (again, rhetorical).

Then, there is my affinity to nature and all things cultural with a good bit of redneck thrown in. Hence, my derision with beings like Rumple (we must stroke his ego, lest he leave us and give us nothing to talk about). I now live in the city and warily and haughtily observe the trappings and tribulations of human posers.

And, you..........................................elfkind..........................................tell us your story.
