Give us a brief description of their life - their story, childhood, family:
Elysia was raised by to two quiet yet loving parents in a small forest on the outskirts of Ager. Her mother was a philosopher who prefered the solitude of their small cabin and grove to the fast paced cities and politics. Elysia's father was an herbalist whose trade brought a meager living to the family yet provided enough for their simiple living.
The earliest of Elysia's childhood was spent learning to respect and worship the magnificent trees and foliage they lived amongst. Being quiet and simple folk that they were, her parents viewed nature and spirits as beings that lived and breathed as much as they themselves did for nature can be touched and experienced where the Emperor and gods seemed far removed from their small world. Elysia learned and accepted these ideals as much as anything her parents taught her.
Once past toddlerhood Elysia often found herself alone for her mother spent long hours over large tomes with ink and quill, while her father would be absent for long weeks as he helped the sick and poor across Anthos. Despite lack of supervision there was still plenty of work to be done; she filled her days with tilling, tending and preparing herbs for her fathers tinctures while her nights were spent pouring over her mothers writings. Solitude never bothered Elysia or her family. She imagined her friends as the heroes and heroines found in her mothers books, and her socialife consisted of singing hymns to the forest and reading poetry to the wildlife. Despite being sheltered, she never felt as though she was. Life was ideal, life was happy.
The outside world, its affairs and politics, did not invade into her families routine until she was almost of age. Her father returned from a trip and spoke in hushed tones about unrest and turmoil across the Kingdom of Oren. He spoke of a rebellion to come, of heroes being made and slain if such a thing was to come to pass. Despite the worry and fear his first night of return, it was easy to put aside during the light of day. Work was plentiful and the grove was peaceful. Weeks went by, and the rumors were forgotten as though they were a fever dream of the past. Resurface though, they did. Fighting never reached their home, but destruction came to them crackling in the dead of night in the form of a quick wild fire. Before anyone had even stirred flames had spread quickly over their land. Despite fleeing the cottage together, over the roar of flames and the screaming of the livestock she was separated from her parents never to see them again. It was only through her knowledge of the nearby lands that kept Elysia hidden from the rebellion and the consequential looters that followed it.
Days later, wheezing and covered in soot, she returned to the charred remains of their home to search for her family. She found them huddled holding eachother in death beneath the roots of one of their cherished trees. With bitterness and anger in her heart she buried her family and walked from the ashes of the peaceful life she knew and went out into the world in search of a reason for their deaths.
As she fled from the tradegy, Elysia quickly found that she was not prepared for the world nor the people in it. The capital city, Abresi was as intimidating to her as its people. All attempts to find someone who knew of the arson of her small humble home were thwarted by the brusque and impatient manner of the few people she met. Arguments were often and many and she grew frustrated with the seemingly greedy and selfish "city" people. No succor was offered, no sympathy was given. It was in the slums of that very city that her travels took a turn for the worst. It was at this moment something in her snapped...The pain of losing her family and the unwelcoming rabble she met brought her to give up hope of justice for her parents. She now seeks a place to return to peace and solitude. To cease the hatred in her heart. If she could not bring them peace through revenge, she would bring them peace through her soul.
What are they like (personality)?: Elysia is mostly quiet and reserved, though very passionate about a few things; nature and family. While as a child she was very open, impulsive and bubbly, since the death of her parents she has become shy and fearful. Often uncertain of people and mistrusting them immediately.
What are their ambitions?: Elysia's strongest desire was to find justice for her family, but this has been recently put aside and she merely seeks to purify herself of her past and forget her hatred and anger. Her ambition is for peace and solitude.
Do they have any special skills?: Elysia was raised as a farmer, and learned much of her father's apothecary trade before his passing. While she isn't the philosopher and writer her mother was, she is a fair hand at record keeping.
What are their weaknesses?: After the events of her childhood, Elysia is afraid of fire. And she has a deep mistrust of people, though she wouldn't consider this a weakness.
What do they look like?: Elysia is on the shorter side standing at 5'3" and has flowing crimson hair. Despite her dainty frame, she has the sinewy muscles and sunkissed skin of someone who has spent most of their life working outdoors.
Anything else you want to say about them?: Can't think of anything.
