Appearance
Aella grew up well-fed and frequently on the move. She developed rather quickly compared to her peers, but tapered off to be around average size. The woman had an athletic physic from a young age, and looked boyish for years until puberty and her feminine figure caught up. She is still particularly muscular for a woman, though not alarmingly so. Her legs and arms are strong like braided cord, fingers calloused, and knuckles scarred, but her appearance is softened by a woman's curves.
She has a round, youthful face and strong jaw, with attentive dark eyes and a brush of small freckles over her nose, cheeks, and forehead. Her bright red hair whips around her face and shoulders like wildfire, blazing with various hues of copper before fading into a a shade of strawberry blonde. Aello keeps it loose, but sections off a few pieces with braids around her ears and down the back of her crown to help it stay out of her face.
She likes layers, so her clothing is a hodgepodge of styles. Hides, leathers, and common furs over rough linens, with colorful beads, feathers, and charms. Aella keeps small items of color on her no matter the occasion, and though the rest of her clothing stays rather neutral, she likes to wear a variety of textures. The only makeup she wears is simple black kohl liner on her top lids, but it usually ends up smudged before the end of the day. Aella isn't an extravagant woman, and she doesn't flaunt. She expresses herself in what she believes to be a tasteful manner while still being able to blend in to the background.
Character Concept
Positives: Hardworking, ingenuitive, brave, and honest.
Negatives: Detatched, reckless, nosy, and blunt.
Faith: Aello predominately worships Caiyha and Zulrav, but has found herself influenced by many.
Likes: The outdoors, animals, storms, music, riding, and archery.
Dislikes: Winter, Zith, and spicy things.
Character History
Aella's father never really spoke of the past, and eventually she stopped asking, but she never stopped wondering. He said that she was born in Sunberth, and didn't speak fondly of those times. They left when she was young and never returned. What he told her about the lawless city with its gangs and street violence was enough to keep her from pressing. Much of her childhood was spent moving from one city to another. She and her father never spent more than a few years in any one place, though they traveled on a rotation, eventually returning to cities that were good to them.
Syliras and Zeltiva were favorities, and her father's relatives, although he never fell in to the role of knighthood that they were known for, treated them well. Ravok, Nyka, and Kenash were not ideal, but usually a necessary stop. Most of their time involved hunting and gathering fresh foods for the caravans that they traveled with, meeting traders and immigrants from all over the world, and seeing the wilderness at its best and worst.
One of their last moves was back to Syliras, where Aella met a young woodcutter named Brandon at the Mithryn Outpost. He fell for her independence, fire, and charms, though she was more stubborn and reluctant with her feelings after so many years of never settling down. His persistence paid off though, and the two of them married when Aella was twenty. The three years of their marriage were full of love, and they were planning on starting their own sawmill near Mithryn.
But Brandon fell ill one winter, and he never got better. She buried him the following spring with his favorite axe, surrounded by the sickening pity and sympathy of older widows and wives. Her father had been on the road for a year, unable to shake the habits of their old lifestyle. Aella tried to wait for him to return, but grief haunted her day and night, and she found herself growing restless.
So she packed her things and bade her late-husband's relatives to tell her father, if he indeed returned, that she had gone to Cyphrus. She needed a change of scenery and something new, hoping to shake off the lingering cold of that terrible winter.
