About Kierra

Being the youngest of 3 girls had its perks when it came to dealing with mother and father, sure, but with her sisters....that was a different story.

Kierra knew she would never be as smart as Nisha, the oldest, and she was much more frail than Shalee, the middle of the three. While she inherited much of her mother's graceful looks, she was also the least comely of the trio.

Prone to awkwardness and often fumbling the simplest of tasks, Kierra was a regular recipient of jokes that while given in jest, were often still humiliating.

Normally Soft-spoken and rather reserved, Kierra has a gentle warmth in her interactions with others, but despite this tender nature, she has not developed many long-standing relationships with other young people in town.

Often flitting from one activity to the next, (and often neglecting her work) Kierra has come to realize how much she loves being outisde of the town. Running through fields and forests, dancing over boulders and splashing through streams, is where Kierra found her freedom.

Days after her 16th birthday on a bright afternoon, Kierra escaped her work at home and went on another "adventure". The sun beat down on her slender shoulders, and her silken hair was blowing with the wind. As she stood there overlooking her community from a distant hilltop, it all changed.

A sudden cloud blocked out the glowing sun, and winds began to swirl, and howl around her. As the cloud descended towards her she could see, standing within the cloud a weathered old man, his proud white beard nearly reaching his knees. Once he was in front of her, everything seemed to stop, her hair floated in the air, leaves seemed to stop mid-air. The Old Man reached out and gently caressed the girl's head, his touch like the first warm winds of spring, and Kierra collapsed.

When she awoke, her sister Shalee was there. As she began to try and explain why she was out here alone, her sister became more and more frustrated. "Why do you always do this! Why can't you for once, just do what you're told!".

Unable to hold back her own frustration, Kierra shouted back. But what came out was nothing she had ever heard before. It sounded so foreign!

Shalee, confused and angry tried to restrain her sister, and grabbed Kierra by the arms. In that instant, all of Kierra's anger flashed through her body into her arm and down her hand. Shalee was shocked, and thrown back from her sister.

Kierra, immediately attempted to attend to her sister, but she was inexperienced, and did not know how to awaken her. Tears began streaming down her cheeks. Then she ran. She ran faster than she had ever run before. Kierra got back to town, and screaming she ran into the Temple of Erastil to find Father Rantal Prasst.

The rest of the evening was a whirlwind in the community. Kierra led the Cleric to her sister, and was followed soon by her parents.

Her sister was healed, it took time, but Kierra was there every day making sure nothing was needed. It was during this time, that she grew close to Father Prasst. They had many discussions about her "Revelation", and she grew to respect him, immensely.

Since that day, Kierra has continued to form and shape her abilities. She grows more powerful and has even begun to manage some of the divine spellcasting that Father Prasst has revealed to her.
