About Aeryn Moon

Aeryn grew up on the battleground, raised by mercenaries and had a strict upbringing as an only, unplanned child by her single mother, who would not reveal the identity of her elf father and is now missing/presumed dead. She was healthy and strong as a child, and very athletic, but grew up in a really rought environment that gave her quick reactions times. At the age of 12 her mother disappeared, and rather than become someone's plaything in the mercenary corps, she ran off into the woods to live alone. Her half-elf natural affinity helped her survive, and she never wants to return to the soldier life. Now as an adult, she doens't know what to do with the rest of her life. She wants nothing to do with war but is too restless to seek a "normal" life. Aeryn doesn't know what she wants and is on a journey of self-discovery. She had several brushes with natural magic during her years in the woods, and hopes to find a way to pursue a more spiritual path, perhaps as a druid. She plays with discarding her tough-girl stoicism but isn't very good at opening up or having fun. She has no sense of romance and is by nature suspicious and secretive. She wants to be more than a hunter but is also proud of her survial skills. She seeks adventure rather than combat and is drawn to those who can offer wisdom or mystical/arcane knowledge that she secretly craves. Cities are her childhood stomping ground from between her mother's jobs, but now they make her edgy. She is deeply jaded about politics and politicians, who have always used mercenaries like her mom to mop up their messes. She has some regrets about how violent her early life has been.

- Very reticent. Listens more than she talks. Tends to sarcasm. No deep romantic relationships, but some short-term lovers. Comradly friendships rather than close ones, and not many of those. She fits in with any group of soldiers with ease, but is not suited for sophisticated society. Prefers country folk or the company of animals. Tendency to drink when around others or forced to spend time in a city..
- Her clothes are made for the road, in terrain-appropriate colors and well-worn leathers, with a sexy edge. She is not above using her looks to gain an advantage, though she doesn't have the gift for full-on glam or girlishness. She is athletic but curvy and fairly attractive, in an Amazon kind of way, with long, dark hair that is usually tied back. Her best feature is her green eyes. She maintains her weapons and gear without even thinking about it and travels easily, especially in forests. Does not have an emotional attachment to any of her possessions but tends to acquire and discard lucky charms.
- Not bookish at all but longs for a higher meaning in life.
