Character Concept
Etaria has dedicated her life to the worship of the divine Goddess Chaiya. She seeks to enforce the Divine Lady’s ways and ideas where ever she goes. Her dream is to become marked by her Lady and be able to channel the Divine One’s power through her own body.

Character History
Etaria's father was of the opal clan and her mother of the emerald clan. Her parents met after a encounter with a savage beast left her mother wounded and clinging to life by sheer will alone. She was sent to the healing tents of the opal clan and there met her father who looked after her through her long recovery. But her father did not seek the life of adventure that so called her mother. He wished for the safety and protection of the healing tents and the peacefulness of prayer and devotion. Dissatisfied with a quiet life her mother took off back to the wild hunts.

Etaria was born 3 weeks before the great fall hunt. It was in this hunt her mother was slain by the same beast that nearly took her life the first time. Etaria was brought to her father. From a young age she showed the same wild heart as her mother. Her father tried to quell it fearing what would happen to his daughter but it was no use. The more he pushed the more she pushed back. At age 13 she rode out with the emerald clan and took down her first zibri. At age 14 she survived her first fight with a wild bear but not without a price. By age 16 it was apparent that her fire for life could not be put out. Her father taught her all he could about the way of the warrior. He sent her to good friends in the diamond clan who taught her to fight and then on her own she found her way back into the arms of the emerald clan.

Etaria loves her people and although she would die to protect any one of them she has no interest in becoming a warrior. She would rather protect her people’s way of life through her love of nature and all it’s power and beauty. Only one malice hangs in her heart, and that is the desire to kill the creature that brought down her mother.

Personality Merits and Flaws
Merits: Determined, strong hearted, strong willed,
Flaws: Hard on herself, Intimacy issues, has to do things on her own or she feels pathetic,

Being a hunter of the plains being tough is what is necessary to survive. Although she loves the people of the Cyphrus plains she can’t help but feel that didn’t do enough to protect her mother or her when her mother was killed or when she was attacked. This has led her to rely heavily on her own skill as a warrior and hunter. She feels driven to live up to the legend of her mother and strives for nothing but excellence in that regard. She takes failure hard but is too stubborn to give up.
