Name: Born Arina Aldaren, but her human family know her as Jade Nightstar
Gender: Female
Race: Half-Elf Half-Human
Appearance: Lithe, and small, Arina is fast and surprisingly strong. With bright almost catlike green eyes, and lengthy brown hair, she is often mistaken as a caretaker and nurturer, though she has a mean streak once provoked. Standing at 5'8" she is shorter than most of those she accompanies, but makes up for it in spirit.
Weapon Preference: Her fathers bow and her pale green quiver.
Powers: She trained in sorcery with a healer named Genevieve beginning when she was 7. She is very handy with herbs, and can name almost all plants found in the world. She knows several defensive spells, and a few offensive. She prefers hand-to-hand combat.
History: Arina was born in the large far-off city of Lórien. Years before she was born, her father, a human warrior, fell in love with the beautiful elvish princess, Alkana Aldaren. Her parents had a loving marriage, before her father was slaughtered in battle at age 3. Her mother remarried an elvish noble, seeing as her parents marriage was frowned upon by society. Arina's step-father was abusive, and forced Arina to live with her fathers sister Natalia right after Arina's ninth birthday. Arina was privileged, well-educated and spoiled until she was living with Natalia, so imagine her surprise when she was treated like slave and not a princess. This was something she was not accustomed to. She did all of the chores around Natalia's home, and was also often sold to men who did unspeakable things to her. This was so she could bring money in for a roof over their head and food on the table, though when she didn't bring enough gold in she was deprived of food for days on end. Alkana was ignorant of the goings on at Natalia's for four years, while her new husband was fully aware of the situation, and often paid to get Arina for days. At first Arina fought back, and then was submissive. After Alkana was made aware of Arina's state, she sent for her at once, where her stepfather continued to abuse her until Arina left home on her 16th birthday. Arina learned many useful things whilst living with her mother again, and is able to easily take down someone 4 times her size. She also has fantastic archery skills, a lot of knowledge in the subject of sword-dueling, and can pick any lock. She carries a pouch that was given to her by her father before he passed away. This pouch has an enchantment on it that allows her to fit almost anything in it, including her essentials such as her lock picking tools, her mothers locket, a short-sword, multiple knives, her bow and a quiver of arrows, enough dried food to last 3 weeks, and multiple changes of clothing. She's mischievous, but she's a fighter, and loved to play daring tricks on her stepfather to have small satisfaction from the torture she dealt with. Arina is currently 17 years of age, a year and a half since she left Lórien and you can almost always see her with her 18 year old comrade Allora Tamsin, whom home she's taken refuge at since she was 13.
