About Skyla Vanadevata

Backstory:

Skyla Vanadevata was always a curious child. She was raised by her human mother, never knowing who her father actually was, but as a young girl she poked her nose everywhere, determined to know everything, while keeping her elvish qualities secret. She told her mother that she felt that knowledge in as of itself would protect her, after all, forewarned is forearmed, however, she failed to comprehend the value of true privacy, and as such, she was quickly singled out and bullied by the other children, fearful of the power she might hold over them with the information she might have gleaned. Things finally came to a head when a boy snuck in and spied on her as she was changing, seeing her lithe, elf like shape and tattoos and realising that she was a half elf. The teasing that followed reduced Skyla to tears, and she ran away to be alone. Unfortunately, luck was not with Skyla, in her attempts to be alone, she found herself isolated when she ran afoul of a group of slavers operating in the area, who were not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, and added her to their group of captives.

This period marked an incredibly low point for Skyla, as she was sold to a cruel owner and acted as a servant while her owner hinted at more lewd suggestions. By night, assuming she was not confined to her owner’s room, she was shackled in a dark room with close walls, where she would dream of wide open spaces. Things continued in this way for quite a long time, but Skyla remained alert for a way of escape, and was rewarded when she brought refreshment to her master while he was entertaining a close friend of his. Skyla’s eyes light up at the sight of a holy symbol on his person due to a religious ceremony , and succeeded in staying within close proximity to this friend, outwardly the dutiful servant but attempting to convey a more carnal interest. Skyla was lucky that such thoughts were never far from her master’s mind, and thus was quite happy to loan her out for a night, totally unaware that Skyla had access to her own branch of magic should she get an opportunity to use it. Late that night, Skyla stole the mistletoe, and succeeded in hiding it. A few days later, after she was chained up again, Skyla unleashed her magic, escaping her bonds and fleeing into the night.

Now free, Skyla was desperate to return home, and returned there is the first opportunity, only to return to discover it utterly destroyed by a collection of giants. With her mother nowhere to be found, and presumed dead, Skyla struck out on her own yet again, swearing vengeance against the giants that had destroyed the only true home she had, and against the slavers that had taken her away and made her life hell.

Skyla eventually settled on her own on the outskirts of Sandpoint, close enough to flee there if she encountered enemies beyond her power, or otherwise needed aid but far enough away for her to enjoy the wild open spaces, the wind in her hair, the sight of a river and so on. She walks into Sandpoint occasionally if she is lacking a crucial supply, or to gather information if there are giants or slavers operating in the area. Currently, she is in Sandpoint for the Swallowtail Festival, which she thought an appropriate way of celebrating the start of autumn.

Here is her planned party role

Party Role:

Skyla is kind of a back up melee attacker. SHe will never be able to "tank", or be as durable as a dedicated melee class, but she is still very capable in combat, especially with her spells to assist. With her Warpriest abilities, she can channel energy for a small amount of healing if required, while when she eventually joins the Storm Kindler PrC, she should hopefully be able to transform into a stormcloud and sweep across the battlefield for "cool" factor.

Appearance and Personality:

Skyla naturally is suspicious of new people she doesn't know, having experienced some of the nastier actions of what people are capable of. She reserves true hatred though for Giants and Slavers. naturally, she prefers to free slaves that come across her path, but currently doesn't feel confident in her abilities to actually go seeking them out, as she isn't naturally confident. Likewise, in most social situations, shes fairly shy, mostly due to being fairly isolated from others.

As far as looks go, at first glance Skyla looks like a fairly pretty humanoid, with delicate features and long brown hair that she lets fall down to her shoulders. That said, underneath her clothes, Skyla has mystical blue tattoos around her body, and thus often wears clothes with long sleeves to hide this, as she feels self conscious about her part elf heritage.
