Naivara
Class:
Cleric
Race:
Elf
Status:
Player character
Her family lived in a gaunt house after Aiwin, her father, made a cosniderable amount of money from his business dealings, making them one of the most influential families in the country. In that house, Naivara lived with her parents, her twin brother and five younger sisters.
The early years of Naivara's childhood were very happy, although they were marked by the continuous absences of his father, who was constantly going on business trips and who, when he was at home, ignored his children quite a bit. Her mother, who was a much more loving woman, took care of her education and made her and her brother worthy of the class they now held. Naivara and Tannyl had a very close relationship and were always together. Although they had 5 more sisters, she was more united to Tannyl.
When Naivara and Tannyl turned 15, their mother enrolled them in a religious school because she felt she couldn't teach them anything else and wanted her children to become cultured and influential people. It is at this time that Naivara begins to meet the clerics and decides that she would like to become a healing cleric and follow the goddess of Water.
In her studies, she meets Galan (17 years old) and Siyare (87 years old), children of other influential personalities, who become her best friends. However, both of htem ended up abanodning their studies.
When Naivara turned 18, a series of failed business ventures by her father plunged the family into ruin and they had to pull Naivara out of religious school because they could not afford her education. From then on, they had to pretend to have money, even though they were very poor and were on the verge of losing their home.
Aiwin began trying to marry his children off to various suitors in order to earn some money and found a partner for Tannyl, Rania, the daughter of a politician. Tannyl didn't like Rania, or any woman, but he agreed to the marriage to help his sisters, especially Naivara. However, before the wedding took place, Tannyl became very ill. He was bedridden for two years, while Naivara did everything she could to help him. In the end, she couldn't save him.
For the next 5 years, Naivara and her family went through many hardships. They were very sad to have lost Tannyl (especially Naivara), they had to move to a smaller apartment, and all the sisters had to share only one room. They had almost no food, and Naivara barely ate to give her little sisters enough to feed themselves.
When Naivara turned 23, her father began showing up at her house accompanied by several Feys with whom he had befriended. The one who came the most was Gawain, leader of the Fey mafia. Her father's business began to pick up a bit and they were able to move to a better apartment and go back to the dances and parties.
A year later, Galan asked her to marry him and Naivara, pressured by her father, accepted it, knowing that this union was the last push that their house needed to regain the influence they had enjoyed many years ago. Naivara liked Galan, and they had been friends for years, so she thought she could become happy with him.
Shortly before the wedding, the goddess of water appealed to all her clerics to come and assist people who had been injured in various conflicts that had broken out around the world. Naivara, despite not having completed her training as a clergywoman, felt that she had to go and help and she went to Balasar, one of her possible destinations.
Naivara spent the next 4 years there helping the wounded, until Alene ordered the retreat of her faithful to prevent them from being captured and subjected to harsh punishments. When Naivara finally returned home, she was met with a big surprise. Galan hadn't waited for her and had taken another woman as his wife: Siyare, her best friend, who, by the time Naivara returned, was pregnant.
Aiwin dealings with teh mafia had gone awry, Aiwin had not been able to repay all the money he owed Gawain, and now, in addition to being even more broke, his life and the lives of his entire family were in danger. Desperate to try to get some money to pay the mafia, Naivara took care of sick old women, but she didn't earn much.
One night, as she was leaving work, she was intercepted by Ulfon, one of the Fey thugs, The man told Naivara that they couldn't drag out his debt payments any longer, and that they had a month to get all the money together. Otherwise, her entire family would pay the consequences. Although Naivara tried to negotiate with him, Ulfon refused to budge and it was then that he made an unfortunate comment about Naivara and Galan that unleashed the young woman's fury, causing her to confront him. Ulfon was much better at fighting than Naivara, but that night luck was on the young woman's side, when she managed to kill Ulfon after stealing a sledgehammer that he lost during the fight. Naivara lost a finger during the confrontation.
When she calmed down, she realized the mistake she had made, murdering someone as important as Ulfon. If someone found out that she had been the culprit, not only would her life be ruined, but her entire family would fall from grace, if not killed. She fled the scene as quickly as she could, and the next day, when she heard the news about the tournament in Darklume, she decided to leave the country.
The tournament had two good things for her: first, that she would be walking away from her city during the investigation of Ulfon's murder, which hopefully they wouldn't connect with her. The second was that he could try to get the money his family needed to pay off their debts to the mafia. So to Drklume she went, , leaving behind her entire family, whom she did not alert to her departure.

Ok, I must admit that we are getting to the coutnries I don't have that much prepared, As it is logical, I have focused ont he first ones, so going from Serentide to the others after this one it will have that half-cooked vibe, because it is half-cooked yet.
Nevertheless, what I do have alrready planned... well, I am really expectign to see their faces with this one, maybe they curse at me, maybe they love it, or maybe they'll be too in shock to give an answer, who knows? But one thing I can say, I am so excited for this part to happen.
