About

Name: Aria

Gender: Female

Race: Half Drow/Human

Age: 120

Occupation: Wanderer/Bard

Appearance: Aria's skin is the typical Drow ebony. From her mother, she inherited the fierce beauty and proud bearing of the Drow. Her human heritage shows in a slight softening of her features and two...unique features not seen in any other Drow. Her otherwise typical white hair is shot through with strands of pure blond so bright, they appear gold. And, most striking, her eyes are a deep, emerald green.

Background: Aria's been running her whole life. Being the "Half-breed" child of a Drow Matron Mother and a human slave, she's learned the hard way that there are very few places in the world where she will be accepted. After nearly a century of no fitting in among her peers, she barely escaped a plot by a rival House, to sacrifice her to one of the many demons of the underworld. Her parents were not so lucky. In fear of her life, and with memories she'd sooner wipe from her mind, Aria made her way to the Overworld, where she has wandered ever since.

Personality: Despite her heritage and painful past (or perhaps as a way to counter it), Aria's personality tends to be open, friendly and flirtatious. During her childhood, Aria's mother had allowed her to spend a lot of time with her human father, and he had instilled in her many of the human's noble ideals. But, growing up as the daughter of a Matron Mother, she also learned the Drow ideals of guile and ruthlessness. This often results in some shocking moments that, to others, seem cruel but to Aria, simply practical and expedient. While the face Aria presents to the world is open and friendly, there are depths to her that even she hasn't explored fully. And often, behind the friendly, flirty mask is a pain that she would rather forget.

Special skills: Aria has the natural stealth and ability to deceive that her people are known for. Over the years, she has honed those natural abilities to become a very talented thief and/or spy. Being a Drow, she is stronger than she appears, and is excellent in hand-to-hand combat. She also knows the properties of several poisons. Her favored weapon is a dagger whose hilt is shaped in the form of a spider with an unknown black jewel set as the eyes. There is apparently some history behind this unusual dagger, as Aria seems to both loathe it and never allow it out of her sight. What the history is, no one knows, as she shrugs off any inquiries with a simple "It's something I found lying around."

Additional information: While Aria is excellent in physical combat, she has no magical skills. In fact, Aria has a deep distrust for anything that even hints at magic. This distrust even extends to enchanted items or equipment. She refuses to wear or use anything that has been enchanted. Aria also has an extreme fear of spiders, and is plagued by frequent nightmares. Most troubling, she suffers from nearly uncontrollable fits of rage. Luckily, these are infrequent and she has been able to control herself enough that few people have been seriously harmed, but they are occurring more often, and it is getting harder and harder to bring herself back from the edge.

I just want to say jabbress, that I am impressed by all of the work you have put into the Moonstars guild. I think that patience will be an ally in this, as I expect that the UnderGaia population will continue to grow and Moonstars will probably see more Eilistraeen followers begin to travel your way over time.
