History:
Valdisara’s origin is shrouded in mystery, at least for the time being. She knows not her surname, and indeed has chosen not to adopt one. What she does know is primarily what is obvious to others: she was born perhaps some twenty years ago of mixed heritage, and strongly favors her elven ancestor(s). With fair skin, platinum-blonde hair and moss green eyes, her striking good looks are “marred” only by the strange birthmark that stretches from above her left brow to her jaw. Some say it marks her as blessed, some the opposite, but all note its striking similarity to a blade.

Growing up in the temple in Vigil, Val’s youth was spent in rigorous martial training and immersion in Iomedae’s teachings. Initially she was given no explanation for how she came to be reared there, although there were whispers she was orphaned as an infant and found by a member of the faith. Only recently did she discover she was in fact abandoned with the temple due to the symbol on her face, which, in a note found with the newly-born girl, supposedly marked her soul for the goddess’s work.

The unsigned note, given to her upon completion of her initiate’s training by her long-time mentor and surrogate father, Elidan Vrammyr, is the only link the young woman has to her birth family. Since then, she has struck out from Vigil on simultaneous quests: to do her life’s work in the service of the goddess and to find her family. The latter has brought her to the town of Carrion Hill.

Personality:
Valdisara had a sheltered upbringing within the confines of the church, and can be very black-and-white in her interpretation of the world around her. Her brief travels from Vigil to some of the surrounding towns and cities have broadened her outlook somewhat, but only just. Although attractive to others and at heart a warm person, the teasing and sometimes bullying she took from certain initiates in the temple due to her mixed blood and “deformity” on her face has made her suspicious of others and hesitant to take friends.
