Character Concept Faryon is a stubborn girl and often finds it hard to call it quits. Usually finding things out by trial and error, which is alot more error than trial. Despite being hard headed she has no trouble admitting her mistakes and where room for improvement can be earned. Overall she is a friendly girl and can get along with just about anyone, except men. Faryon finds herself completely shy and tongue tied around the opposite sex around her age. She is trying to be an aspiring healer and make her pavilion name proud. Character History Pre-Creation Faryon was born in the spring of 494 to the happy couple of Tvarik and S'forea Whiteflower of the Opal clan. Only girl and child by her mother but 2 older brothers and one younger brother by her father's first wife, Raefl. Having a strong connection to her mother, S'forea often took Faryon to gather herbs and plants to make various medicines and potions. She also showed her how to harvest the seeds so she can grow her own, if she was unable to forage for them. Her mother died when she was 10, they were out foraging herbs when a glassbeak ambushed them. S'forea distracted them so Faryon could safely escape. Her mother managed to as well but was fatal injured and did not survive the night. Faryon vowed over her mother's corpse that she would learn everything she could about healing and medicines so she could save peoples lives and not feel hopeless as she did with her mother. Faryon received her first gnosis mark from Rak'keli that night. Gnosis Story : Timestamp: 40th of Summer, 504AV [indent]Faryon rode silently in front of S'forea, her mother on her bonded Strider, Tyere. The child enjoyed these now rare moments with her mother. Feeling her slender fingers wrapped around her waist to make sure she didn't fall off the horse. They were riding a bell out from the pavilion to look for a particular herb that helped settled horses stomachs. It wasn't overbearing hot today but actually a slight breeze blowing across the gentle grasses. It was days like this Faryon enjoyed tumbling through the sweet grasses and watch the clouds roll past the sky. Unbeknownst to the two Drykas, the breeze also was being carried downwind to a scout glassbeak. Faryon and her mother reached the patch of herb they were seeking and were in the midst of gathering a few sprigs when it happened. The giant glassbeak ambushed them, deciding Faryon and her mother were the easier targets than Tyere. The flightless bird stood between them and the Strider, cutting off all forms escapes, out running the bird was not an option. "When I give the signal I want you to run as fast as you can to Tyere and go back to the pavilion." S'forea whispered quickly before kissing Faryon on the forehead. She pushed the little girl forward as she went to the side. The young Drykas instantly knew what her mother had planned. She was to be a distraction, a decoy so she could escape. Tears streamed down her face as she ran for her mothers bond mare. Faryon didnt look back but heard her mother yelling at the glass beak. Since it wasn't attacking her the decoy apparently was working. Tyere swifting carried Faryon back to the Whiteflower pavilion. The whole time the little girl cried. Death was a natural part of life on the sea of grass but the flower child wasn't ready to accept that it had claimed her mother's life. The Whiteflower pavilion was known for its healing and philtring work as well as a supplier of local and sometimes rare herbs and plants. But none would be able to save Faryon's mother from her fate. Miraculously somehow S'forea managed to escape the glass beak and slowly, painfully made her way back. The Whiteflowers did all they could to help but she had lost alot of blood and sustained too many fatal wounds. S'forea passed from this life shortly after with Faryon by her side. Faryon felt helpless and that if only she knew more about healing she could have probably saved her mothers life. She weeped over her mother's corpse for what seemed like forever to the little girl. Faryon had cried herself asleep in an awkward position. It was oddly very quiet in the pavilion and in Endrykas it was never truly quiet and it arose her from her sleep. Little did she know, it was actually the unearthly aura and presence that seemed to fill the tent. Rak'keli had appeared in the Whiteflower pavilion. Her presence wasn't overwhelming but had a calming effect on Faryon despite her sudden appearance. The Drykas was unsure how long the Goddess had been in the pavilion and was really unsure how to approach the situation. "She passed too soon." the goddess said somberly after a moment of standing over S'forea. She was drawn to this particular pavilion because she felt a lot of sorrow. "My mother died saving me from a glass beak. She managed to escape it somehow buy we were unable to help her further." Faryon said softly, tears falling once again. "If only I knew how to heal better I could have saved her. I hate feeling hopeless and unable to help heal someone. I dont like to see people suffer." The goddess appraised the child knowing well that it probably wouldn't have saved her mother but Rak'keli could hear the sincerity in Faryon's voice. "You truly mean that, child?" "Yes, I do." the little girl said with complete resolve on her face. The healing goddess said no more but bent down on one knee and kissed Faryon upon her brow. A tingling sensation creeper through her body starting from where Rak'keli kissed her. The warming feeling lingered on her forehead and suddenly was replace with a pair of swirling twisted winged snakes. The sigil shimmered in an opal iridescent color. The two snakes were facing away from each other their tails intertwined at the center of her forehead. They twisting so they slithered across her brow and going slightly past her eyebrows. The whole situation was surreal and when Faryon turned to ask what happened, Rak'keli was no where in sight. In the Spring of 509, two days before her 16th birthday, her father, Tvarik decided not to arrange her hand and let her continue to work on her healing since she showed much promise in the field and to let her keep her promise to her late mother. Also Kachal picked her that day and marking Faryon a true Drykas woman. Kachal : Kachal (Strider) 17 hands Age: 4 Born: Winter of 508AV Kachal is just as hard headed as Faryon but unlike her, he takes a bit to warm up to strangers. He likes to do things at his own pace and does them when he feels like it. Often Faryon calls it K.S.T or Kachal standard time, which people often take as laziness. In the Summer of 513 AV, Faryon told her father that she was leaving Endrykas and the Whiteflower pavilion to head to Riverfall. At first Tvarik was furious, demanding her she was unable to leave it was far too dangerous. While true, he secretly didn't want her to leave because she was all he had left as a reminder of S'forea. However after some thought, the Ankal allowed her to go, only if she left with the trading carvans. He gave her a Seme, Rhyni to help her transport what little possessions to call her own. Rhyni : Rhyni (Seme) 19 hands age: 7 Born: Spring of 506 She is a vain filly, loving to be brushed and hearing how beautiful she is. Often looking down into water as if to admire herself. Most other horses can only put up with her for so long and the reason why she is still a filly. Only Kachal seems be willing to stand her. Post-Creation Faryon arrived at the Sanctuary on the15th of Autumn, 513AV, and gained employment as an Herbalist. More to come..
