- Born to a large family in Presa de Madera Estela spent her childhood studying and spectating their parents' work with her brothers. Her mother, a talented Arcane mage who had been practicing for the most of her life, and her father, a historian with plenty of knowledge about previous great mages and leaders known to literature and history. During her spare time, Estela would hang around with her brothers at their town’s plaza, meeting and playing with other kids around.

 

- Cramped in a small house, the Andrade family has managed to live from payment to payment, whether it came from the lessons their father has given or the advise and treatment their mother offered. They didn't have much, yet it was just enough to put food on the table. Many of their toys were handmade, as well as many of their household items. Yet one cold morning the family woke up to find their house had been completely cleared out; the toys, items, small furniture even, gone. The family was at a loss, with absolutely no idea what to do next.

 

- It took every single family member to try and rise from the robbery. Estela, her parents, and her siblings all had to make an effort and earn their money. Small jobs turned into serving, serving turned to frustration and despair, and despair steered them to a different path. One by one Estela's siblings began taking shadier jobs, doing the dirty works for others on the streets. Her parents, of course, knew nothing of it, they both thought their children had been taking cleaning jobs for the sake of the family. 

 

- Eventually, Estela also found herself entangled in the crime her siblings took part in until she herself also worked among them. They've used her appearance as a means of deceit, no one would suspect the innocent girl. She's transported stolen goods, money, and at times even dangerous items. As time passed Estela distanced herself a little from her family and continued working for the familiar street folk, that however did not imply she appreciated her family any less. All she earned she gave back to her family, and the time she did spend at home she enjoyed each moment. 

 

- Once she grew a little more mature, living both the domestic and more criminal lives, Estela found herself stuck between, conflicted about her orientation. After plenty of soul-searching and deep thoughts, Estela made a daring decision and tagged along with a group of travelers among the street folks she knew in order to find where she really belonged, whether it's truly at home or as a matter of fact, out there in the world. Her adventures indeed helped Estela discover more about herself. She developed a passion for magic she never thought about learning to begin with during her time with her mother, as well as sharpened her skill of deceiving others as she did in her childhood and began to use it for a living. Yet Estela is still very connected to her family, she still is very connected with her siblings and often visits throughout her traveling, baring gifts with each visit. 


Character Name: Estela Andrade
Character Race: Human
Character Gender: Female
Character Age: 37
Physical Description: You notice first her elegant, and pampered locks, that do well to spark your senses as your nose is intruded upon by fragrances of rose and lavender.
Roleplay Scenario: The traveller has just arrived in a small town. As they look around, their gaze is met with run down houses and shops. They duck into one of the shacks, illuminated by a series of candles suspended in the air. At the back of the small room, an old hag raises her head, “What brings you to this dingy town?" She begins, then pauses to study their face—”Ah, it’s you. I’ve been expecting you. Sit,” she gestures at a chair, “Where do you come from? What do you hope to make of yourself?”

((How does your character respond? Please ensure your response is at least six sentences long, and uses at least two actions.))

Example: (delete this when you add your own)

"Oh, I just, uh…" The traveler stutters, tensing up. They eye the crone, then back outside the shack. For a moment, the air thickens with anticipation, until…
