Chezarina's page

"In a city of Light, you should not be surprised how many shadows are cast."

Chezarina was born with a humbler name to a humbler family. One by one her elder brothers upheld their noble duty to fight the Dark. One by one, promises to return were never fulfilled. When Chezarina's turn to be exhorted by friends and family to serve she turned her back on them and left Forge for Light.

She turned the martial skills of her family instead to the task of hunting her fellow elen, finding them easier prey than monsters of the Dark. No matter how virtuous the elders, how bright the city, there are always those in the shadows. Those who need brought to justice, and for whom the noble leaders of the city will pay great sums of money for.

Once Chezarina had made the beginnings of a name for herself in Light, she crossed paths with Kiyiyah, the wailing wolf. An Oread born with gems in his body, a soul of music and tales, and a disrespect for his Elder's authority. Kiyayah preferred to learn his tales straight from the Court of Lies rather than his elders, and also by swearing allegiance to them, safeguard himself from the Court of Gems.

Kiyayah's lack of regard for authority followed him as he made his way across Light to spread and learn new tales, and before long he found himself branded a minor criminal. Yet, with his fae magic he eluded capture time and time again in more extravagant escapes, soon he had a bounty placed on him, and Chezarina attempted to take it.

Yet, she did not have luck in such regards either, no matter how many times she chased him, she could never capture him, and oft their encounters were more a dance than chase. Still, eventually, the wanderer Kiyayah felt the need to move on from Light, and when he did, Chezarina followed. On the roads and in the wilderness, she encountered a sinister plot of an unscrupulous sorcerer to harvest the gems in Kiyayah's body for some mystical end, and Chezarina decided to temporarily join forces with Kiyayah to put a stop to the sorcerer. As part of this venture, she made a bargain of her own with the Court of Lies, and received the power to call upon the strength of animals.

Parting ways with Kiyayah on positive terms, Chezarina was conflicted as she made her way back to Light, but found a nightmare when she returned. There she met Thuàng Nê Luu Sânh and was forced to work together merely to survive.

So that's just the basics of her origin, the "level 1-3" so to speak, being born to a traditionalist militant family from Forge, but not choosing to become a soldier but to instead become a bounty hunter in the big city.

For the next part, I had some questions about the Fey. I had an idea for a magic explanation. Basically-

"Has a rivalry/romantic relationship with a magical arts wielding oread criminal, never could quite catch him sort of thing. Then, one day he gets corrupted by the fey stuff going on, and the next time they meet, she gets into some weird magic bargain going on."

Now, that relies on fey magic not being some overwhelmingly vile force of corruption that destroys everything it touches, but still being strongly nature associated.

That, and her chases and encounters so on so forth, would be her level 4-6, and then we'd need to figure out 'how is she involved in the current adventure', that last 7-9.
