Physical Description
Race: Human
Gender: Female
Age: 23
Eyes: Hazel, Vertical slitted pupil from bloodline trait.
Hair: Uncommonly Vibrant Red (Think primary color red, not redhead), wavy, waist length, usually worn unbound
Clothing: Avonia wears (and tries the hardest to maintain) a pristine white set of monk robes with sturdy sandals for traveling. She favors a dark green, hooded poncho that she wears over her robes instead a cloak for traveling both on the road and in towns. This serves both to keep her robes clean and to hide her distinct features.
Birthmark: On her upper back near her right shoulder, Ava has a Darksign, It normally looks like a circle or ring on fire but a person with a keen eye and memory will occasionally notice it flicker and change from burning to an image similar to bleeding. Usually Ava tries to keep it hidden either under her clothing or behind her mass of hair.
Background
Born to a well-off couple that comprised of a half-elven father and a human mother, Avonia was able to develop in a somewhat carefree childhood. Though, she often was seen around the local monastery, learning and assisting where she was able to at her age. Much of this was to avoid the teasing, and on a few occasions outright bullying, from the other children in the village due to her parentage and different features.
One night when she was about 14, her family home was set ablaze by a mob looking to put to rest the “demon child”. It was through sheer luck and a slight bit of experience hiding from people looking for her that she was able to escape the home unnoticed to reach the monastery where she spent most of her childhood. After being calmed down and made to explain her situation, the monks at the monastery were able to secret her away to another temple far away from her home.
It is here where she spends the next seven years of her life, learning and training as an initiate, while trying to build her inner peace after the tragic event of her childhood. Although, no matter how long or hard she meditated, there was always a small voice, one she was not sure was even her own, that seemed to be able to pull her from reaching true peace.
This starts a period of wanderlust where Avonia, usually shortened to just Ava, seeks to discover her true peace, and understand the cryptic message the Voice keeps reminding her: “Soon the flames will fade and only Dark will remain. Even now there are only embers, and man sees not light, but only endless nights.”
// If you need a description of the features or whatnot, I have a word doc with most things on my character sheet.
