Character

Se'rahr was born to a young couple in the small forest village of Q'zsharr. Due to the village's proximity to both the Twelveswood and Gyn Abania, there was a high degree of spiritual practice and martial arts woven throughout the village's day-to-day culture. Serahr was able to walk in only six moons, and at the age of one cycle, she could speak basic sentences. At the age of two, Serahr's parents enrolled her to every guild and school nearby, and as expected, she excelled at her studies like everything else.
During the first few winters of her life, her Grandfather, Weiulyn Kavaskous, taught her everything he knew from his travels as an adventurer, these would come in the form of bed time stories. As she grew, he bestowed upon her all that he knew about the world; Beastmen, monsters of legend, dragon kings, the Twelve Gods of
Eorzea, and great philosophers that have roamed upon Hydaelyn for millenia.

At the age of seven winters, on a calm sunny day, while relaxing up her favorite tree, a great roar roused all from their homes. Though unable to see what was unfolding over the treetops and horizon, lights and sounds could be seen and heard across the realm, and it is this day, Se'rahr was granted the gift of the Echo. Most doubted Se'rahr's claim to hear the whispers she heard around her from time to time, except the old man. "Magic quite clearly exists in this world and beyond," he said as he smiled softly, dusting off an old Mage's hat. "You have been blessed as far as I am concerned. Any number of things could be happening in the world that no one chooses, or even cares to see! The fall of Midgardsormr is only the beginning, of what, I worry, I do not have the slightest inkling. Youngling, the future may very well fall to you, do not squander your gift or forsake the world, fight on, always!" Five years winters passed, the old man would fall to illness; on his deathbed, the wise old man bestowed his final parting words upon her drooping ears: "Beware the hearts of men, though a soul is born into this world as pure as Crystal's light, darkness pervades all we know. Never show doubt, and always believe in the powers of Light, for without hope, there will always be despair."

By the age of sixteen, she had become a master of three different types of martial arts, completed a full education at her school, and completed an apprenticeship under the town's goldsmith. Nearing her seventeenth Nameday, the village was sacked by bandits, while the bandits did escape with some wealth, it was Serahr that would repel the bandit's looting and chase them off into the forest, undoubtedly to get killed by Elementals.

With the Garleans advancing and tensions rising across the region, her parents, like much of the village, decided to move to calmer regions, and Se'rahr, teary-eyed, said goodbye to her loved ones, and embarked on her journey into the Twelveswood Gridania, her new home. What will become of this young Miqo'te Warrior? The Echo Beckons.
