Audriana (Audri) was born in the druid town of Crystalhurst, inside the Southern Fangwood in Nirmathas; an only child to Taldan-born parents, father, Marcian, and mother, Viviana. When the couple joined the secretive druids of Crystalhurst, they changed their family name to Wrenn and kept their true family name a secret (even from their only child).
Audri had been a comely, curious child and she learned the ways of the forests/wilderness under the protective eye of her parents. Her mother had been a fine healer and noted Audri's natural affinity with the creatures she crossed paths with. Her child was on the quieter side around people/strangers; yet relaxed in the presence of animals. In Audri's hazel-grey eyes and natural aptitude, Viviana saw a prospective healer who would carefully tend to the health of both the environment and creatures in it.
When Audri was fourteen summers old, both her parents died from Darkblight, leaving her an orphan. The tight-knit elder druids rallied around Audri; hoping the child would continue to learn their way of life. Audri dutifully remained among the druids of Crystalhurst for five years, learning the natural healing arts and how to wield certain weapons to the best advantage. Some of the other children would mock and bully her for being an orphan (a condition she had very little control over). It was during this hardship, the girl learned how to react quickly and how to harden herself against the attacks. It was, also, during this time, when a local curmudgeonly druid named Darven and The Circle of Hierophants took a particular interest in Audri and observed she had an infinity with fire and ash. No other young novice in their small community demonstrated/possessed such a connection to this particular element. They sought to nurture it in the absence of her parents.
Darven was a wandering druid/scout and was connected to the Pathfinders across Nirmathas. Just weeks after Audri's nineteenth birthday, permission was given to Darven, by the Council, to take Audri with him on his travels and to continue in her teaching. Their first point of call was to travel to the capital city, Tamram; in particular to the Pathfinder Society's local base of operations: Ashfall Lodge. There, the venture-captain assigned Audri with the task of learning more about Varisia through experiencing the frontier firsthand. He believed Audri showed fine promise as a Pathfinder. Upon her arrival, she was to report to the Magnimar Lodge and offer her services to the venture-captain there.
Darven offered to make the journey to Magimar with Audri and then he would venture further afield to undertake his own assignment, leaving the young woman to find her own place in the world.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
-------------------- From Class: • Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Druids are proficient with the following weapons: club, dagger, dart, quarterstaff, scimitar, scythe, sickle, shortspear, sling, and spear. They are also proficient with all natural attacks (claw, bite, and so forth) of any form they assume with wild shape. Druids are proficient with light and medium armor but are prohibited from wearing metal armor; thus, they may wear only padded, leather, or hide armor. A druid may also wear wooden armor that has been altered by the ironwood spell so that it functions as though it were steel. Druids are proficient with shields (except tower shields) but must use only wooden ones.
• Spells: A druid casts divine spells. A druid must spend 1 hour each day in a trance-like meditation on the mysteries of nature to regain her daily allotment of spells. A druid may prepare and cast any spell on the druid spell list, provided that she can cast spells of that level, but she must choose which spells to prepare during her daily meditation.
• Natural Medic: A restorer can channel stored spell energy into healing spells that she did not prepare ahead of time. The restorer can “lose” any prepared spell in order to cast any cure spell she can cast of the same spell level or lower (a cure spell is any spell with “cure” in its name).This ability replaces spontaneous casting.
• Nature Bond (Ex): At 1st level, a druid forms a bond with nature. Chosen: Forms a close tie to the natural world: Fire (Ash subdomain) • Healing Touch (Ex): A restorer gains a +2 bonus on Heal checks. When a restorer uses Heal to provide first aid, the bonus increases to +3. This ability replaces nature sense.
• Wild Empathy (Ex): A druid can improve the attitude of an animal. This ability functions just like a Diplomacy check made to improve the attitude of a person. The druid rolls 1d20 and adds her druid level and her Charisma modifier to determine the wild empathy check result. (1d20+1+1) The typical domestic animal has a starting attitude of indifferent, while wild animals are usually unfriendly. To use wild empathy, the druid and the animal must be able to study each other, which means that they must be within 30 feet of one another under normal conditions. Generally, influencing an animal in this way takes 1 minute but, as with influencing people, it might take more or less time. A druid can also use this ability to influence a magical beast with an Intelligence score of 1 or 2, but she takes a –4 penalty on the check.
From Human race: • Ability Score Modifiers: Human characters gain a +2 racial bonus to one ability score of their choice at creation to represent their varied nature. (+2 to WIS)
• Base Speed: Humans have a base speed of 30 feet
• Bonus Feat: Humans select one extra feat at 1st level.
• Skilled: Humans gain an additional skill rank at first level and one additional rank whenever they gain a level.
