Nariel was born in the rolling fields and forests of Kyonin some one hundred and twenty years ago to her parents Seldon and Tessara Laeric, both Wizards of great talent and repute. From an early age, Nariel showed promise and was clearly quite brilliant, even by elven standards. She also demonstrated great ability for the arcane arts, and thus her parents began her training at a young age.
When she came of a certain age, her parents deemed that Nariel should see the world as they had when they were younger. Realizing her talent for languages and diplomacy, the Laerics sent their daughter to serve in the Court of Baron Lebeda as an adviser. The Laerics had a long standing relationship with the Lebeda family as business partners and allies, and knew that their daughter would gain great experience by participating in the rough and tumble politics of Brevoy.
Arriving at Silverhall, Nariel immediately took a liking to the busy machinations of Brevoy Court life. As a courtier, she handled herself aptly, as though she had been doing it for years. Nariel also proved useful to the Lebeda family, as she spoke multiple languages, providing quick and accurate translations for foreign traders and dignitaries visiting court. When the Baron passed, the business of governance fell to Dame Sarrona Lebeda who was charged Regent until the Baron's eldest son Lander came of age to rule. Dame Sarrona found Nariel a most useful and delightful presence in court, and grew to value her counsel.
When news of trouble in the outskirts of Brevoy came to her attention, Sarrona decided it best to send Nariel, and charged her with investigating on behalf of the Lebeda.
Appearance:
Nariel is tall, slender and delicate appearing, possessing long blond hair and pale skin. She is quite beautiful and graceful, and takes great care in her appearance. Her eyes are a light green color, bordering on gray. She appears at all times to be calm and reserved, and her movements are always fluid and deliberate.
Nariel wears tasteful but luxurious flowing gowns in court, opting for colors of blue and green to augment her blond hair. She typically adorns herself with tasteful and conservative jewelry, favoring silver and emeralds above all else. Whilst adventuring, Nariel opts instead for more rugged clothing, including thigh high boots of soft black leather, form fitting breeches of light grey, a pale green embroidered leather jerkin, a practical but attractive black jacket, black leather gloves and a warm charcoal hooded cloak with modest black fur fringes. When not in the company of friends or in public, Nariel always wears her hood drawn up to hide her face as much as possible.
Personality:
First impressions of Nariel can be somewhat cool, though the reality is that Nariel is simply cautious with people she has never met. Friends would describe her as quite affable, but perhaps a little bookish and academic. Nariel can nevertheless be outgoing and charismatic when it suits her, owning a quick wit but a gentle sense of humor.
Most likely though, people would simply agree that Nariel is woman possessing an exceptional mind. Ever since a young age, Nariel showed signs of great intelligence, mastering many languages and showing an affinity for all her studies.
