Racial Options:
Ancestral Arms: Some half-elves receive training in an unusual weapon. Half-elves with this racial trait receive Exotic Weapon Proficiency or Martial Weapon Proficiency with one weapon as a bonus feat at 1st level. This racial trait replaces the adaptability racial trait.
Flexible Half-Breed: Once per day, half-elves with this trait can use alter self as a spell-like ability to appear as humans, drow, or elves. The half-elf can change the race of this form each time she uses this ability, but the specific form for each race is static. She gains a +10 bonus to Disguise checks to appear as a member of the chosen race. The caster level for this ability is equal to the character’s Hit Dice. This racial trait replaces multitalented.

Born to hunter parents, it was no surprise that Liara would follow in their footsteps, especially when her father and grandfather would usually tell her stories of their family's feats, dating all the way back to Eric Dragonsbane, an accomplished dragonslayer during the Dragon Plague, and the origin of their family's name.

Having inherited her mother's elven reflexes and skill with a bow, she quickly proved herself an excellent marksman and started accompanying her parents on most hunts when she was old enough.

They never stayed in one place too long, moving around to where they were needed, typically to bring down some manner of dangerous beast that threatened a village, although the occasional job as an armed escort to some noble or merchant, or hunting down some bandits would also show up.

The one she remembers most, though, that was quite literally burned into her mind, was when her father was sought out to hunt a dragon that had been terrorising the region. But rather than the confident and proud expression she had come to expect from him, especially since he'd finally be able to add his own dragonslaying tale to the family's history, his expression was grim. Determined, and yet with just a hint lf fear behind it.

The reason became evident when they arrived and her parents told her ahe was to stay back, help with evacuating the villagers and make sure they were safe. She realised her father and mother were focused not on hunting the beast, but in making sure they bought enough time for everyone to escape. She agreed, reluctantly and holding back tears, as she prayed that they'd be able to bring the beast down and be back safely.

As she saw the dragon descend upon the village, though, she realised how foolish that hope was. They managed to distract it enough to get some of the villagers to safety, but it wasn't enough to save everyone. And it wasn't enough for them to get away, either. As she lay in.the midst of the dragon's destruction, weeping over their bodies, she took her father's family bow, an impressive bow made from the horns of a blue dragon, and vowed on it to become a better hunter - better than they were, even, so she could prevent similar tragedies in the future. And when her skills were good enough, she'd hunt down this particular dragon, to avenge their deaths.

In the following years, Liara kept travelling the country, honing her skills and keeping her ears open for tales of dragon activity, hoping to learn all she can about her prey so she can hunt it down when she's ready.

After a job serving as part of a noble woman's escort to Cassomir, she signed on as a guard with a caravan heading out to Yanmass. The caravan master seemed shifty, true, but she knew better than to ask too many questions.

When she was eventually stranded in Belhaim, with no idea of when another caravan might be passing by, she decided to make the best of her time here to listen to rumours and see if there is anything she can do to put her skills to use.

Liara inherited her mother's beauty, with light red hair that goes down to her waist, emerald green eyes, and a grace to her movements typical of her mother's kin. She wears an armor made of animal hide and giant lizard scales, with a hooded green cloak that lets her more easily blend in with her surroundings. But her most prominent detail is probably the large bow on her back, an intricate weapon made from blue horns, which some might recognise as the bow wielded by generations of the Dragonsbane family, made from the horns of a dragon brought down by one of their ancestors.

She tends to keep quiet in most situations, preferring to listen and study what others are saying (both verbally and non-verbally), intervening only when needed. She's used to working alone, but is perfectly willing to join a group on a job. And she's not one to turn down someone in need, or to not use her skills to protect people when required - on the contrary, she feels that's her ultimate goal as a hunter, as a way to honour her parents sacrifice those years ago.
