History
Loivissa was born within the elf city of Kirtan into the influential Wolfangelda Family, a family of glass-workers. Loivissa is the daughter of Howler, the leader of the Wolfangelda Family and Lady Melissa, the daughter of Stardancer and Seafang, the leaders of the shapeshifting Wolf-Elf Clan. Even at a young age, Loivissa displayed signs of extraordinarily powerful sorcery, and even as a child, she already was able to communicate with and calm animals, move objects at will, read minds, perform spells and transform into a wolf, the last being a naturally-born ability of her mother's clan, all of whom could shift into animals at will, the most easy being the form of a wolf, similar to the attributes of her maternal grandmother, Stardancer's cousin, Ildrid the Beautiful and her family, such as Ildrid's son, Blödhgarm. Liovissa's father's family was also distantly related to the House of Ingrandaleaf, a ancient elf family that boasted a long line of Dragon Riders. The Ingrandaleaf family's dragon rider line ended in disgrace, however, after it's last two Dragon riding members, the twins, Formora and Kialandí Ingrandaleaf, betrayed their order and joined the thirteen Forsworn. This caused the Wolfangela Family did everything in their power to deny their relation to the two traitors.

Several months after Eragon and Saphira left Alagaësia for the Eastern Reaches and build Dragon Riders Academy, the pair sent requests to Queen Arya of the Elves, Grimstborith Orik of the Dwarves, High Queen Nasuada of the Broddring Kingdom, Nar Garzhvog of the Urgals and King Orrin of Surda for any promising Dragon Riders candidates who wished to join the order. Arya soon chose a hopeful Loivissa as a candidate, sending a message to her with the request as well as the academy's information letter, which she immediately accepted and prepared to leave. With her parents blessing upon her, a nervous Loivissa traveled to Ceris, where she contacted with Eragon through mirrors, who to her he looked forwards to meeting her face to face before Loivissa boarded the ship leaving for the Academy. Two months after she arrived, Loivissa was presented with a snow-white Dragon Egg veined with silver and ice blue, which upon hatching, revealed a small, shimmering snow white dragon with arctic blue wings and eyes. Naming the dragon Hvitr, Loivissa then became a fully-fledged student of the Academy.

With two riders (the other being dwarf Kellif and his purple dragon Mithrim) now existing and after finding out that a large quantity of Brightsteel was among the academy's grounds, Eragon asked the smith, Rhunön to forge two swords for the rider protégés, to which she willingly agreed to make, but only with the youngsters help, much to Loivissa's (who had helped her family forged glass sculptures) delight. After creating the artic white sword and decorating it with a clear diamond, Loivissa debated various names until settling on Svell Welden (Ice Forest), a name which had a value to both, Svell because of Hvitr's coloration and forest because of Loivissa's species. By this time, Loivissa, Hvitr, Kellif and Mithrim, had become close friends and were assigned to be part of Emerald Winglet.

Once Mithrim and Hvitr were large enough, they set out to the island, which Eragon and the elves had named Ília Skulblakar, which meant Island of Dragons, with Eragon, Saphira, the visiting Elf Queen and Dragon Rider Arya and her green dragon Fírnen.

Loivissa, Kellif, Hvitr and Mithrim later travelled to the eastern mountains of the Beors to check on several disturbing flickers of lights seen by dwarves living near Astono Mountain and later attended the Agaetí Blödhren Blood-Oath Celebration in Tarnag with her companions, where she was seen dancing with Mithrim among a dozen dancing dwarves, several humans and even one or two Urgals in a lantern-lit courtyard before departing to the Academy to issue a report.

After it became clear that the enemy of the Shadowlands was beginning to grow active after fifteen years of silence, Loivissa, Hvitr, Kellif, Mithrim, their new Urgal and Human companions, Reznargh and Sorrel, and their dragons, Guilith and Rumis, were sent to swell the small dragon rider and warrior force posted at the Border to watch over the Shadowland border. She and the rest of her forces were later ordered to return to the main force and later particapated in the Battle of the Plains of Uthal.
