Character History Phoenaina was born in the Darnivia Commonrooms a few ways away from the Skyhigh Stables of Wild Reach. Her parents, a seamstress mother named Betrina Pulzy and a horse breeder father named Kurk Pulzy were a very odd pair. Betrina loved to sew and wanting nothing to do with the outside world other than making money through her clothing. Kurk, on the other hand, loved working hands on with the horses at the Skyhigh Stables. He attempted to do some glasswork be could not find any passion and adventure in it. Everything was going well between the Avora and the Chiet. They even had a baby! However, things went downhill when Betrina was stricken with an ailment a few months after Phoeniana was born. Her brain slowly started to shut down on her until the only thing she knew how to do was to respond in sentences no longer than 5 words. Her motor skills were skewed, walking in a straight line becoming difficult, doing the simplest of tasks become as complex as building a house. The only thing she really knew how to do was to sew; sew all day long and sell them in the market for a little change. Unfortunately, with her state, Betrina quickly became a Dek, forced to work in The Communal Kitchen, scrubbing dishes and getting her meals from there. In that condition, and with Phoeniana being only a few months old, it was up to Kurk to take care of his wife and his daughter.
Kurk, being a Cheit, had to do what he could to provide for his family. Not wanting to leave Phoeniana in the care of his wife while he was out on the job, he took the small child to the Communal Nurseries until she became a Yasi at the age of 8. Years went by as Phoeniana and the other Yasi completed their Bendi. She didn’t speak to most of the other children and only showed interest in archery and horse riding. At the age of 15, she went to visit her father who still stayed in the same Commonrooms. He told her stories about his cheit life and how her mother was doing in the Communal kitchens. Hours were spent while the two talked about the horses he took care of. After hearing about Wind Reach's past by her father, Phoeniana was sure she wanted to learn more about the skies as well.
By the time she turned 25, Betrina had passed, leaving a shattered and shell of a man for a father and a large weight of responsibility on her shoulder. She did not want to take up where her mother left off with the needle work, for she loved the outdoors too much to stay inside. With her father growing old in his years, he finally gave her the short bow her mother had kept in her younger years, before she became a seamstress. Inside the room were trinkets and antiques that belonged to her mother. Surging with joy, she quickly thanked her father and promised to do wonders with the bow. However, after finally mustering up the courage to leave her father, she realized that she knew very little about archery other than what the Bendi taught her.
Phoeniana, confused as to what to do or where to go, decided that she would find someone skilled in archery to lead the way. However, with society in Wind Reach as it is, she would need a lot of help finding out what to do about being a huntress while being nothing more than a Cheit like her father. |
