About Finwe Yrinsil

You get three abilities to improve, each one tied to one stat and one skill/feat/special ability etc.

First 2-Year Training Regimen:

1) Dex:Practice skills 'Balance/Hide/Tumble' which hopefully will lead to her 'Sudden Strike' class skill. She does this by practicing all the predatory moves of all the animals she has watched as a child of the wilderness. The moves she practices are the following: Hawk, lynx, owl, the fox, and incredibly, that of the owl-bear, an incident that almost cost her life, but one which taught her much of the wilds, and led to her longing for the company civilization provides. She generally practices in three places: her native woods, along the fence posts of the Risper ranches, and hanging about the edge of town at the White Stag Inn

2) Wis:Hopes to unlock inner Ki Power. She practices her 'Stalking' ability by waiting nearly silent and still for hours(Listen and/or Spot class skills.) She often does this in or around the area of The Cashel or her usual haunts: Rispers, White Stag, and recently, her recollection of her young druidic instruction has made her curious of one called The Unicorn Goddess. It was a shrine she heard about, that has brought her to lurk about The Risper's.

3) Dex: She will practice with her make-shift spear, generally throwing it when possible. She has no interest in increasing her strength, and her goal is to stay out of reach of harms way.

4) To be determined, but Finwe's intentions are to 'infiltrate' society due to her innate sense of justice. Barring that, to get a job...

Finwe is the middle child of a discredited aristocrat, Kinsabra. Her elder brother received all the responsibility and her younger daughter all of the attention.

Mother was busy, working either in the woods or at the table making potions and ointments. She didn't really care much and when she did have time it was for the other children. The only times that her mother cared for her was when she suffered nuavahyr the elven dreamsleeps that sometimes never ended. But eventually Finwe realised that her mother was only interested in finding a cure, not in Finwe herself.

Her love of the forest was deep, her ability to find her way and almost sense the woods seemed to be in her blood. This woodlore stemmed from Geritalin, her ancestor and the Archdruid the Emerald Circle two thousand years ago.

This left Finwe to occupy her time. A childhood is a long time for an elf, and hers was no exception. She gradually spent more and more time in the woods herself, more and more time away from the rejection and hurt of her parents and siblings until she just never came back.

The druid, Martellus, of Corustaith found her lying in the woods, in another dreamsleep and he helped her recover and gave her a home for a while. But by now Finwe wanted to out seeing the world and all it had to offer, taking whatever she could get from it before the nuavahyr struck her down completely.

Recently Finwe has been hanging around the woodland village of Tricaster. Her first taste of a larger human community with its hustle and bustle. She has made friends with one or two of the locals and is hoping to learn more from the active and short lived humans.

All that was brought into focus by an owlbear. Not two weeks ago it chased her in the woods. Ripping, clawing and tearing at the bushes and trees it almost caught her but Finwe fled up a tree. The persistent predator stayed around for days, days in which her food ran out. Once Finwe tried to climb down but the clever hunter was in the bushes nearby and it almost caught her. The elf maiden fell into a dazed hunger up that tree, and in those strange dreams she came across herself all alone again and again. She awoke and realised that the truth was she couldn't last in the woods she needed help. She needed friends...
