Bio/Description:
Alaria was born into a poor family. Her mother and father were humble farmers who grew crops to support their family. Alaria also has two younger brothers. Alaria grew up in a small isolated farming community. As a young girl she did not make many friends. Most of her time was spent helping momma with chores around the house. Her mother was very tall and beautiful. Having some celestial blood in her. This she passed on to her daughter Alaria. Her father was a humble human man. He worked hard in the fields and supported his family as best he could. Both her father and her two brothers worked the land, they sold their excess crops in town.
From her mother, Alaria learned all about cooking and how to keep a home as a proper woman should. She also learned something of her heritage. Alaria's grandmother had fallen in love with a celestial being. A tall slender man beautiful to look upon. A man who by a strange twist of fate had met her grandmother while she was in her mid 20's. The two had fallen in love after a short but romantic affair. Her grandmother had died while Alaria's mother was in her early teens. Their offspring being Alaria's mother. Alaria's mother being tall and of silver hair like her father. In addition to learning something about her mother's past she also learned about Herbs and their uses. Often, her mother would treat the men's minor cuts and s...es. And sometimes their more serious ailments. Alaria really enjoyed tending to her Father and brothers. She seemed to have a knack for creating poultices and oinments. She became very good at this. So good infact that neighbors would call upon her when they were in need of care. Alaria really enjoyed helping people. She was so charming and nice, that sick people felt comfortable around her. She has a sweet and kind personality, she could place the most distressed person at ease. Her very pressence exudes confidence and serenity.
As Alaria grew older her talents for helping others also increased. Her reputation as an accomplished healer spread to near by villages. One such village not 2 days travel away had an old women for a healer. This old women was a devout follower of Aeridin. The old women learned of the young girl who was rumored to be blessed for healing. She sent word to young Alaria asking her to come see her. At this time Kensha was 14 years old. Alaria's father was thrilled when he learned of this news. He and Alaria travelled to see the old women. The old women was very wise and ancient. Nearly 100 years by human standards. She immediatly took a liking to young Alaria and asked her father to leave the child under her care. Alaria and the old women were perfect for eachother. The child helping the old, the old teaching the child. For 2 years Alaria stayed with the old women. Whenever the old women tended the sick and injured, Alaria was there assisting her. She learned all about Aeridin and the healing ways. Alaria was enthralled with the ways of Aeridin. With a desire to help others, heal and protect the sick and wounded Alaria has devouted her life to Aeridin. When Alaria was in her 15th year the old women passed on. Thus Alaria also learned about death and the cycle of rebirth. Now Alaria travels the land wandering from town to town, village to village offering her assistance to any who are in need.
Alaria has grown into a tall, slender woman with long silver hair. Bright blue eyes pour into the soul of any who look upon her. Her Aasimar heritage that she received from her mother has blossemed. She has wandered the lands for several years. Now at the age of 22 she has stumbled upon the town of Hlint. And this is where her story will begin.
I have read and understand the information available on Aeridin and I will do my best to RP a cleric of Aeridin
Having discovered Aeridin, Alaria has learned to understand the natural circle of life that Aeridin represents. She understand that there is a transformation from life unto death. While in life, it must be protected but all life must come to an end. She was there when her old mentor breathed her last breath of life and transformed into death. She has also seen the birth of many living creatures, and saved the life of many as well. Life is prescious, and must be preserved. Alaria will travel the lands offering aid to any who need. | | |

| Re: New character Please expand a little more on her Aasimar heritage a bit. The statement "Her Aasimar heritage that she received from her mother has blossemed" doesn't explain very much. How she came by this knowledge, and how it affected her early life would be nice things to add. Anything to flesh out that aspect of her character more.

| Re: New character Edited as requested. Included something about Alaria's grandfather being a celestial and falling in love with her grandmother. Basically there is not a lot of history around the celestial aspect. Alaria only knows that her grandfather was a celestial and her grandmother was human. | | |
