Character Concept
Evora is an unreadable and unpredictable being. Often as carefree as the wind, she can also be as sharp and as harsh as a fire. She is ruthless, seldom showing signs of compassion unless surrounded by nature, there is however a soft side to her. Perhaps hard to befriend, Evora is extremely loyal once you win her over and will cling to you with a sudden desperation birthed from having both her parents stolen away from her. She is unfortunately a thief, pickpocketing unsuspecting passer-by’s or stealing from people she travels with but does not trust, but this by no means makes her a bad person. She does what she needs to survive and keep those she loves safe. She longs for a better way of living, but will not shame herself by returning to the mountains and the pain they hold.
Character History
Evora is of the Avora, the artisans of Wind Reach. She had a comfortable life with her parents as an only child and shared an intimate and uncommon bond with them. Her mother was a glassblower and often braided tiny glass beads into her long hair, while her father was a warrior, a great archer and also well skilled with a Talon Sword. Evora spent a lot of time with her parents learning both these skills.
Evora lost her mother to sickness. Her and her father sat by her side day and night, praying to sky and the unknown gods not to take her. Unfortunately on the third day of cold fits, her mother fell still. It was not long after that, that her father went out hunting and did not return, taken they say by madness. Perhaps then it was madness too that drove Evora to leaving Wind Reach.
Many told her not to leave but Evora found that she could no longer stay. She had a love for her parents that her people could not understand. She is still uncertain as to why she left. Was it because of a broken heart? Or because none of her people could understand, or relate to her broken heart? Either way she has made the dangerous journey, stealing to survive and using the sky as her guide, to the town of Syliras hoping to find some new adventurous life there, void of the pain she carries.
