Shaelathar is a vengeful force of nature, savage and beautiful. Mostly silent and deadly, the proud half-elf carries a regal bearing. She rides her Beast with a flaming lance in her hands.
Personality:
Shaelathar keeps to herself, unwilling to share her painful past, and certainly unwilling to actually become social with living beings outside of Beast and her other sometimes companion animals. It is obvious to most that she has spent a long time away from normal civilization.
Background:
Shunned by her human father after her elven mother died in childbirth, Shaelathar's childhood was far from peaceful, and she quickly learned to rely on her own instincts and the Temple of Gozreh that raised her. The priests of Gozreh encouraged her instinctive development, believing that her ties to nature would improve that way.
The result was a savage young half elf woman, barely able to carry on a conversation, though her beauty and personality were both vividly powerful. It was this same beauty that caught the attention of her much older lover Altair. Although at first her savage nature kept the intelligent handsome elf distant, she soon developed a very basic, instinctive attraction to him. This attraction blossomed into an enduring love, with all the glories and shadows that such a relationship forbears. The priests of Gozreh prepared for the ceremony, but it was Shaelathar's own fear and jealousy of other women that drove her to abandon the ceremony, running into the deep caverns beneath the sacred well. Her fiancee followed her for a time, but even he could not keep up with the little savage, and returned heartbroken, to the surface.
And to his doom. Amberfall's attack released a rain of meteors on the city, devastating the countryside and obliterating all signs of civilization. It was only because she was in the deep caverns beneath the city that Shaelathar survived. She finally emerged, stronger and more resolute in her love. Only to find everything and everyone she had ever known gone. Completely heartbroken and devastated, she returned to the caverns. For years she stayed there, encountering Beast one fateful night, and learning to love all over again. After a time, she emerged once again, to see what she could find out about the devastation.
Beast remained by her side, almost always, and as the beast grew larger she learned to ride him. She left her secluded valley and engaged the rest of their world, searching for information and survivors. Finally finding what she needed, she resolved to seize her revenge from the savage kingdom. Over time, she learned to find what agents of Amberfall she could, relying more on her natural instincts than any particular knowledge, and brutally killed them, with fire if possible. Silent and deadly. Sorrowful. Regretting. And never asking for forgiveness.
When the call rang out, she knew then that many had survived the attack. The time to strike back had come back. She mounted on Beast, grabbed her flaming spear, and answered the clarion.
