Alani, like many elves, was born in Caras Eldar. Alani grew up poor in a small, leaning house in a poor area of the city. Her family was not part of a seed, so Alani has no tattoos. Her mother, Elyra, was a weaver, who sold her works of art for a small profit to help the family. Alani’s father was named Roedian. He was a decent hunter, leaving the city at dawn every morning to search for game in the woods. He carried only a bow and a small steel dagger. Most nights he would bring home fresh meat for dinner, then he would skin the game and sell the hide. Some nights, however, Alani and her younger sister Naryn would have a supper of only stale bread. Those were the worst nights. Naryn was 10 years younger than Alani, Naryn took after her mother’s artistic trait, while Alani followed in her father’s footsteps. When Alani turned 20 her father began training her with a bow. She would leave the city with him every morning, and eventually grew to become a more skilled archer than he, and helped to provide for the family. She grew to love bows, and spent most hours of daylight training, and when it got dark she would craft. Between the age of 20 and 45, Alani crafted her bow. She crafted it of sturdy wood and strong but flexible deer sinew. Although Alani had a mostly good childhood, a tragedy struck when Alani was 31 Naryn went missing. She went out one evening to purchase yarn for her mother, but she never returned. The family was in shambles, and really never recovered. After a year, the city law gave up searching and told the family Naryn had probably “passed on.” Alani’s parents accepted this with sorrow, but Alani didn’t believe them. Finally, when Alani was 45, she decided nothing would ever improve if she did nothing about it. She said goodbye to her parents, and left to search for her sister with only her bow and a pack of supplies.
