Character Concept As an ignorant fisherman's daughter attempting to travel the world, Alea is out of her depth. She has virtually no knowledge of other cultures, but that doesn't stop her from wanting to learn about all of them. What does stop her is her innate ability to remain blissfully unaware of anything she sees no use for... Alea's greatest talent, aside from fishing, was not being found when someone wanted her to do chores. Though if you ask people who know her, they might say her greatest talent is being annoying. Character History Alea is the daughter of fishermen from Denval. She grew up much like Denvalian children do, going to the Academy and such, but she had a tendency to forget or ignore any lessons which were not immediately relevant to her life. She spent most of her spare time exploring the seaside cliffs for the best private fishing spots (and avoiding chores such as cleaning fish-guts with her parents). She had few friends, since most of the children preferred the hobby of fighting, but Alea did not have the discipline to be very good at it. One day, Alea's childhood friend, Oluse, left Denval without saying goodbye. Due to the nature of their friendship, this pissed Alea off, a lot. She'd had the notion to leave Denval for a couple of years at that point, and since picking on Oluse was the only thing that made Denval bearable, she started making plans to leave herself. In early fall 511, she took her supplies, savings, and the family cat, and (after leaving a note to her parents) hopped on a boat bound for Avanthal. Her goal, as far as anyone can tell, is to see the world. She had one sibling, an older sister who became a model Denvalian and joined the militia, but then died in the Djed Strom of 512.

When worn, the tips dip into the skin slightly, embedding just underneath the skin. It can be taken off, but leaves small pin-points from where the teeth embedded until they heal. They enable the wearer to digest basic plant structures (soft stems, flowers, leaves) and get the available nutrients, at the expense of becoming horridly ill if they eat meat with the bracelet on.

Important Relationships Alea's Parents (Refugees in Avanthal): Father: Jared Davenport Occupation: Fisherman Skills: Fishing 30, Teaching 10, Weapon: Staff 10 Personality: Some people would say Jared works too much, but the truth is, he loves his job more than anything. Others say he works so much in an effort to avoid his nagging wife, but he will deny any such claims. He did his best to pass on his love of fishing to Alea, and while she enjoys fishing as an occasional hobby, she has no desire to inherit her father's career. Mother: Elise Davenport Occupation: Fisherman's wife Skills: Food Preservation 20, Cooking 15, Fishing 5, Weapon: Knife 10 Personality: Elise works hard to keep her family in line, but it's not easy. Her husband stays out fishing all day, not realizing how much work goes into cleaning and preparing the fish he catches so that they'll stay fresh long enough to feed Denval. She spends half her time working, and the other half trying to get a very resentful Alea to help her. Alea also had a sister, but she perished in the Djed storm of Spring 512. Her parents survived and evacuated Denval with the rest of its citizens to join Alea in Avanthal. Being able fisherfolk, Jared and Elise now live with the Coolwater Hold. Friends at Home in the Spires Zed is a three-foot-big crystal spider who found Alea on the day she finished building her house. Zed enjoy's cuddles the most, but has just enough mischief to fit in with Alea's other friends. Beast is her mischievous Gilding. At first Alea wasn't sure he was worth the trouble he made, but when she was without her kelvic bondmate for the first time in Spring of 512, she became much closer with Beast. Now she can hardly imagine going anywhere without him. Tom used to be the family cat, until Alea stole (borrowed!) him on her way out of Denval. Alea and Tom don't always get along, but the fact that she feeds him plus his inexplicable friendship with Beast ensures that he will stick around.

Upon inspection tiny engravings can be seen on the other side of the teeth, though only a higher-level maledictor would be able to decipher their meaning. When worn, the teeth dig just under the skin, and will leave marks until they naturally heal when removed. Mild Cuts, Bruises and Scratches: These are just a result from the scuffle, and most have healed by the time she had landed.
