Chiaki Catria is a snow elf, trained in the arts of spears and medicine. Despite her cold nature being a part of her growth, she is not heartless and cares about those she holds close.
During her younger years, she was never taught how to read, her parents, Nakati and Deveran, were manipulative and forceful, often scolding her for the smallest of things, which in turn has turned her into a strict rule follower, and someone who cares not for those who defy.
As she continued in her life as a homeschooled elf, she eventually got to the age of thirteen, a year of despair, in which she broke a glass plate, and as repercussion, suffered a life altering punishment, a throat chop that cut her voice off for good. Now living with a damaged windpipe, she can only communicate with signals and written words, but was never taught how to read. Her training began two years later, where she passed with ease. The harsh nature of training was nothing new to her, even if she never spoke a word. Her preferred weapon was not a sword or a bow, but a weapon to keep distance and range as her iced eyes observed her target. Enduring nearly 150 years of training with the weapon has allowed her to handle it with grace.
During her time, she took an adaptation to becoming a combat medic after shadowing an earlier medic, mainly to find an eventual cure for her own sake, and the sake of others. Her life quickly turned when she had to mend the injuries of a fellow soldier in a mock battle, in which she was recognized and put into the back lines as a medic, keeping her spear skills handy to drive people off, killing if she had to. Her nature of speechlessness often left her even more segregated than most snow elves, having only one childhood friend, Ukathi, and someone she could rely on. They remained together during their military service until she desired further medical knowledge from those beyond Tahu'lareh, and she set sail to find distant land, leaving her parents behind, Ukathi with a promise, and food to get by the days, taking only her Medical Tools and spear, known as “Whitewing” with her, vowing to eventaully break the code she grew into, and ditching the faith she was forced to follow.
