You were born both with the gift of the arcane and the grace. It doesn't matter if you were born on a high house of the elves or a lower one. Soon your unique abilities were detected and you were offered a place in the Bladesinger Academy. But raw potential isn't good enough. From that moment on, you devoted your life to study and to hone your physical abilities getting ready for the day you were tested and, hopefully, admited to the Academy. Only one of each hundred candidates make it, and you were sure that you'll be the one picked up by the Elders of the Academy.

You are treated with respect and even some fear by the enemies of the elves or those who had wronged them and know the Bladesingers. (Not game effect). You may not be a noble born, but once you are in the Academy you are treated like one. For the better and the worst for it is expected from you to behave even better than a noble. You are the epitome of elven culture and you are expected to act like one. 

On the back side, those enemies of the elves that recognize you for what you are, may target you as their main objective. The death of a bladesinger is no small task and surely there are shadowy characters in the world that would love the reputation such a deed will give to them.
