Role

Chapter 4

We all have worth. We all have value. But why?

That is a question that Wood-and-Bones posed to Avarazza, and something
she mulls over.

She is proud to be one of the Breathless. She is proud to be a Sunwarden.
But she struggles with the inclusive nature of the Tree.

Avarazza feels that the reavers often times kill mindlessly and wantonly.
Unlike the savage animals of the wilds that they embody and represent,
they are not predators. Predators kill for food. Predators have a place.
Avarazza believes that Reavers far too often are more killer than
predator, simply killing any they can. This is wasteful, in Avarazza's
eyes. Death should have a purpose. It is true, that from Decay, from
Death, Life can begin anew, but that does not mean that killing is
something that should be done all of the time.

To this end, unless they are one of the Defilers, one who's death yields
a healthier environment for life to grow anew, Avarazza argues for
discretion and temperance. She has already butted heads often with the
Reavers and has little doubt that before too long, she will be fighting
them physically. In her mind this is inevitable, and it will teach them
to respect the Sun and tread more carefully.

She finds Rarywey much easier to speak to than Wood-and-Bones, but she
does enjoy Wood-and-Bones, for what he is, what he represents. She has
promised the arches of her foot to Wood-and-Bones. The Tarsals, as she
uses them to walk and feel Thera, and Rarywey asked her to take her boots
off the first time she swam into the River. This reminds her of the
swampy homes she came from, and when the leeches saved her life she
distinctly remembers stumbling around the swamp with her bare feet, and
feeling the squelch of the marsh underneath her arches.

She is eager to progress in the faith of her Goddess, and has began to
trust Rarywey and feel comfortable in the shrine, to this end she often
times displays her humor- an at-times awkward thing with her
half-dark-elven background, but still inclination toward the light and
sun.

But simply put, she is, she lives, and she is excited to continue as such.
