Aalinesa's family consists of her mother and father, who live happily in Nevaehlen, and her oldest sister. Their names are Avaris (Mother), Faramir (Father), and Sylvanesa (sister). When Aalinesa was young, Sylvanesa went missing after joining the military. Their home life was loving and filling with joy, but when Sylvanesa disappeared, her mother became distant and cold. Aalinesa left home, determined to find her sister and bring joy back to their family. The four of them are the only people left in their family, the rest of their family reside in Caurost and are dedicated to the warrior lifestyle. Aalinesa has never left Nevaehlan, her journey will be the first time she's seen the world.
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?”
Aalinesa sits, eyes scanning the room curiously. She runs a finger across the bases of the chair below her, feeling the jagged edges of the wood. "I'm from Nevaehlan. I'm-"
She pauses, the thought that she was the most vulnerable she's ever been passing through her mind briefly.
"I've never left Nevaehlan before, I want to see the world."
For now, she will keep her real goals to herself.
