Arandolya

[Arandolya]

Arandolya The only limit is the Stars . . . Basic Information Race: Human, Inarta Birthday: 25th Fall, 493 AV Age: 20 Gender: Female Caste: Avora Languages Fluent: Nari Basic: Common Poor: N/A Physical Description Arandolya is a small girl, standing at 5' 3", with a lean muscle build. Most of her strength is upper body, from using a bow regularly during her hunts. She has golden colored eyes, and bright red hair, with creamy skin that burns more than tans. She prefers to wear her hair closer to the short side as it can get annoyingly in the way of her vision if swinging around all over the place. Currently it's at the pleasant length of just below her shoulders, short enough to keep tame, long enough to tuck behind her ears! Additionally, Arandolya has a habit of adorning one long braid with any feathers she picks up in the forest, as it makes her have the feeling of connection to the avian species so beloved within Wind Reach. Though Arandolya has her ears pierced, she currently does not wear earrings. Character Concept This fiery-haired youth is a pure embodiment of the passion that runs deep in Skyinarta's core, with her varying degrees of warmth to the depths of anger, Arandolya can be as sweet as she can be cold. Though her lackadaisical view on the severity of the caste system, particularly the treatment of lower castes, her attitude towards others can be largely based on such. With a small amount of patience and a large amount of condescension for the Dek, she often looses interest in the interaction quickly, which leads to a dismissal of sorts or an awkward excused leave. The Chiet and Avora Arandolya can directly relate to, and most [if not all] of her companions are of these castes, as she finds them without the haughtiness of the Endal, nor the hesitance and servant-persona of the Dek. Even so, Arandolya genuinely loves interaction with others, and the prospect of making new friends, without realizing her own expressions will definitely effect the outcome of a meeting between herself and another. She meets every new encounter brightly, and warmly, though she has a habit of coming to conclusions and judgement very soon after an initial meeting. When friendship is establish though, Arandolya is a faithful and loyal companion, one to shy away from association if she feels she cannot trust them explicitly. Their well-being and security are high within her concerns, but friends are not the only thing. Arandolya feels a large sense of loyalty and duty towards Priskil, her chosen deity of worship, and Wind Reach, the home that has made her who she is today. She would lay her life on the line easily for each, as she often says; "If I am not loyal to Wind Reach, who am I?" Which sums up her faith in her home with accurate simplicity. This devoted persona stems from losing her mother and having Wind Reach help her back to her feet, in the brash and obvious ways of the Inarta. They picked her up, washed the scent of alcohol from her skin, and sent her to training where she almost lost herself in a blindness to just forget the pain of her mother's death. Priskil, on the other hand, helped her guide her through the pain and embrace the old memories to only recall her mother in the peak times of mirth and joy. Whenever she needs hope or strength, Arandolya turns her face to the sun and remember Priskil's constant struggle. Character History Arandolya comes from a hunter mother, and a Chiet father who ran simple errands for people. Her childhood was spent within the community of the nursery, although her mother visited twice a week as was her promise, Iridssa trying to get her to become a hunter, wanting her to follow her footsteps. Iridssa was hard on Arandolya, making sure she was helping out with the nursery, caring for younger children, always showing dedication and concentration. It helped when she reached eight, and was sent to schooling. Arandolya enjoyed learning various things, although nothing really showed as a promeniant skill except her adapt archery enough to become a hunter's apprentice, at age 13, and rise to the ranks of hunting with the Eagle Riders, as a second rider on a tolerant Eagle. She loved the air, and knew this was where she belonged. The birds sounded almost like they were speaking to her with their calls. Upon becoming a hunter, Iridssa gave her daughter her own shortbow she used to use, and a simple quiver that would hold 15 arrows comfortably. It was a rare show of approval and Arandolya holds them close to heart, although she's saving up for a larger quiver and a longbow, although that would mean training with a bigger bow. By observation, first-hand experience, and self-teaching, she started dappling in healing birds. First it was simple diagnostics to see if her little songbird's ailment was urgent, or if she could look up an easy cure. Arandolya slowly accumulated more knowledge, and moved onto larger birds, and actually treating the sicknesses. She loves helping the birds, and seeing them evolve from a frail, sick thing in her palms, to a Eagle with a Rider, barely remembering the one who coaxed them back to health from a simple ailment. Arandolya didn't mind she wasn't recognized, or that most of the time, other healers had to take over, she found something she wanted to learn. And so she will.
