Role

Chapter 5

Backstory Summary:
Aurew Rissu was born Aurelia Rissu El'duindil to parents Yvalle and Llarundel
within the city of Darsylon. Yvalle (Babark) was a handmaiden and seamstress
to Lady Elaeriella, while Laurandel was a songsmith at the service of King
Adrianar. Their jobs afforded them great luxuries but little time with their
daughter. To keep Aurelia company, they provided her with a pet cooshee which
they named Audune, elvish for sunset. She has chosen to go by Aurew as this
is how Audune greeted her, and has adopted the secondary name of Mel'Audune
meaning Friend of the Sunset.

Traits:
Given her solitary childhood and the losses she has incurred, Aurew is a bit
reclusive and shy, choosing the company of silence as she finds her footing
as an individual in Thera. While she does not consider herself xenophobic,
her upbringing was primarily in the presence of her faithful dog, and thus
she finds most two-legs to be lacking compassion by comparison. Like other
high elves, she is beholden to the Light.

Ethos:
She is chaotic by nature, but not in a driven sense. She lacks the desire to
tear down order in the world, but has a need to let herself experience and
explore the lands (and her place within them) without limitation. The only
rule she regularly abides by is Light above all.

Sphere:
Aurew is most drawn to the sphere of Fate. She believes that things happen
for a reason, even if those reasons don't always make sense or present them-
selves to her. She believes within Fate's guidelines she has the ability to
make choices, but the ultimate result is out of her hands.

Class:
Aurew has chosen to study shapeshifting, partly because of her discomfort
around other sentients. Staying in the form of another animal allows her to
maintain a level of security and avoids unnecessary conversation. However,
the main reason to her pursuit is to adopt the form of the cooshee. Her
greatest fear is that death will not allow her to be reunited with the
beloved cooshee Audune because elves go to the Azure Fields. By becoming
a cooshee, she hopes to bridge the gap.

Aspirations:
First and foremost, Aurew will explore herself. While it's conceivable she
could partner with Outlander, Fortress or Entropy, the path is yet unclear.
Fate will play a hand in this, and she may be influenced by those she meets.
She will seek out Rahsael the God of Loss to help her reflect upon the losses
in her life, though to what end remains to be seen.
