Eira grew up among the people of Vyranni and was part of the Randel family. She is the youngest of her family, with two older brothers and multiple older cousins. Eira lived with her single-mother, but had to live off the support of their wealthier aunt. She earned her belief that hard-work can get you almost anything from watching her aunt succeed as she grew older and took note at how much her aunt sacrificed for the family. Eira was the smallest in her family and not necessarily the strongest either, a majority of her family was either burly, tall, hefty, or a combination of all three. Yet what she lacked in brawn, she made up for in brains. She was well-educated and took to learning faster than her siblings, and this led her to becoming a perfectionist at times. Since she wasn’t very strong, she had to constantly be on guard so that she wouldn’t make a fool of herself and cause her family to doubt her intellectual integrity. By the time she reached about 15, her family had divided between her mother and her aunt, yet Eira was stuck in the middle of both sides. While this family tension was occurring, the dragons of Vyranni were also becoming a larger threat to her people.  At age 18, the dragons got so close, they seemed to be flying closer and closer everyday, so after a very gut-wrenching family meeting the Randels decided to flee. As they loaded whatever they could pack onto a sturdy fishing boat in the dead of night, Eira’s mother changed her mind. She wanted to stay on Vyranni instead of risk sailing across deadly sea for a better life. Eira and her brothers had to choose between their mother on a land of deadly dragons or their aunt and the possibility of being able to live long, healthy lives. In the end, they boarded the boat and left Vyranni without their mother to find a new home with all the family they had left. After days of sailing, the Randel family made port in Sutica. The day they made port Eira decided to continue her education and rely on her strengths. She wanted to no longer only be smart, she wanted to be powerful too. In order to do this she started her own journey to seek out someone or something to help her learn more about magic. In her own mind, if she had put in the efforts earlier to learn such things, then maybe she would have able been able to keep her family together either in Vyranni or in their new home, Sutica.
