Role

Chapter 2

Charrooth was born in Ayr'Trinil but left with her mother to move to Voralia
when she was young enough that she barely remembers it. She also has only the
faintest memories of her father. Based on what little information she's been
able to collect, she thinks that he somehow got on the bad side of the
Lhiltrill family. One of her primary motivations is to find out the truth of
this story, and discover what happened to her dad.

Charrooth's mother took flight to Voralia because her brother, Daldrit
Truefeather, has a successful shop there and was able to take them in. Growing
up in the city, Charrooth saw that there are shadows where darkness can take
root even in the goodliest of places. Despite the best intentions of the
city's rulers, there was poverty, crime, and suffering among the citizenry,
and city's guardsmen were incapable of keeping the evils of the world, such as
orcs and nightwalkers, out of the city.

Voralia allowed a relatively normal childhood for Charrooth. She played, she
learned, she grew, and she discovered young love. But then evil ripped her
wonderful boyfriend Airik away from her during an orcish raid and absolutely
shattered her heart. After this, Charrooth receded to the shadows of her life,
both figuratively and literally. She became withdrawn and sullen. She spent
more time alone, which she preferred to pretending not to be sad. Eventually,
she began to focus her effort and energy on training, as she enjoyed the
distraction from her heartsickness. When she came of age, her uncle Daldrit
secured her admission into the Academy and arranged for Kavan Lassion, famed
headmaster of the Voralian assassins' guild, to take her on as a pupil and
teach her the ways to keep a flame strong within the darkness.


Character Traits:
-Charrooth experiences deep inner turmoil and emotional turbulence but tries
very hard to douse the flames of her emotions, or at least mask them. This
often comes off as gallows humor.
-Charrooth is not great with numbers, much to her merchant family's chagrin.
-She also has a penchant for matchmaking, subconsciously driven by her own
loss of love.
-Because of Airik, orcs arouse very strong negative emotions in Charrooth. Fear, anger, disgust, hopelessness, etc ... are all possible reactions to the mention or sight of an orc.
