Role

Chapter 6

Aeria Starblaze, so named was the child of two wood-elves to whom she was
conceived on that night of omens and signs. On that night of conception,
Aeria's life spark began amidst the star showers that roared across the night
skies and over the dark untouched woods of her parents.So did nature let
one such falling star kiss the land that night before burning out, setting
the ground ablaze in a reminder of nature's fury.

Aeria Starblaze was born the daughter of her mother, a ranger particularly
gifted in animal empathy, and her father, a bard who was a greatly educated
ambassador for the wood-elves to the encroaching cities.

From her mother, Aeria's empathy and gifts towards nature were to be witnesed
at an early age. She seemed as able and willing to play and communicate with
the surrounding animals as with her wood-elf companions. Trained in the
basic necessities of woodland survival by her ranger mother, Aeria's
instincts and appreciation for nature grew greater than was even to be
expected among the nature loving wood-elves.

From her father, chosen ambassador of the wood-elves and bard, Aeria gained
rare characteristics for a wood-elf. Learned and trained in words and grace,
Aeria has the capacity to communicate fluently and is gifted with words, but
only those who seek to know her truly can see this beyond her wild tendencies
and upbringing. This alone is all that Aeria carries from her father, as she
struggles to not make the same decisions she sees as mistakes made in his
lifetime.

Though Aeria might seem as fierce and fiery as a wild creature, she posesses
the capacity for refinery if she so chooses. This is but one of many
struggling characteristics between the differences in her parents'
contribution to her upbringing.

If asked, Aeria would greatly prefer to follow in the steps of her mother
whom she sees as remaining true to nature. Aeria's father in the rare
position of ambassador from the wood-elves sought, perhaps in the race's
desperation, to work out co-existance with the encroaching city of Udgaard.
Despite all his efforts, promises made, deals reached, much of his work led
to few of the wood-elves surviving, Aeria's parents among them, when Udgaard
took their lands by force in their ongoing expansion. From it Aeria learned
of the mistakes and futility with dealing with established order so lost from
the old ways of the land.

Aeria seeks out to learn more in the ways of Amaranthe. She accepts in
pragmatism, and what she hopes is wisdom gained early in life, the need to
bring death to those who will not return to the old ways of the land. She
seeks to not fail where her father has by seeking treaties and compromise
with the bastions of order.

Her love for nature comes to her easily, and all the gifts that nature has
provided. She holds grudging hope and respect for the rural civilizations of
man whom live lifes of co-existance through co-dependancy with the land, but
struggles constantly to remain faithful that they also won't eventually
sprawl into the cities that are a scourge upon the land.
