In-Character
Read the following prompt:
The rhythmic lull of hoofbeats are a marching drum to the small group of pioneers and variety of folk you have found yourself amongst, packed into a wobbling wagon. The rolling plains of the Southern Reach and a clear sky stretch out all around you, the buzz of excited chatter a dull wash in your ears as your mind strays to your former life and what has led you here to new lands.
“Nervous?”
You blink, returning to the present moment. A kindly older woman sat near you is smiling warmly with a crinkle to her eyes.
“I can tell it’s your first time. Still remember mine,” she flashes a grin and leans in.
“Tell me my dear, why have you come to the Reach?”
How do you respond (in character)? (250 word minimum - please make sure to include at least three references to our lore in your response, with two coming from different pages in the Compendium. Two of the three selected should also be in-depth, avoid simply name-dropping lore terms. Tie the terms into your character's backstory. Why are they important to them?)
Though generally rather closed in, the Arsa Sidhe felt compelled to respond to the woman, who seemed quite friendly.
"To put it simply, I came here for a new life." She started, "However, there were many factors that added to that."
The young woman began counting on her purple-hued fingers as she spoke, her skin almost glowing in the sun.
"For one, my life fell apart. My mother died to my father's hands, leaving in her wake a Widowblight who eventually killed him. There wasn't much I could do about it, but it was still horrifying." She frowned at the thought, but quickly continued. "I heard there are Korami here; they are my people. I figured it would be easier to settle in to a place where the people would be somewhat familiar rather than a foreign town with foreign people." A third finger unfolded. "I had also heard about The Great Disappearance, and was deeply intrigued about it, though it was not a very big factor." - "So, with no family left, I decided to take our blade and go."
She pondered for a few moments, trying to recall some things earlier in her life that could have affected her decision.
"Ah, and I have both medical and military experience. I caught wind of some opportunities arising here, so it really wasn't a hard choice in the end. Crowns are crowns, after all."
The woman nodded with a friendly smile, soon speaking again as her hands fell to her sides.
"It was nice meeting you, I hope we meet again at some point in our endeavours."
With that, she began to continue on her way.

Character Name: Medeori
Character Race: Arsa Sidhe
Character Age: 25
Brief Physical Description:
This elf's smooth, pale skin gives her an almost ghost-like appearance with a slight hue of purple. A hint of freckles can be seen on her nose and cheeks, while her reddish-purple lips are smooth and glossy. Her long, straight darker-purple hair almost glows in the sun, its rays mostly passing straight through.
Her eyes, roughly 5'11" above the ground, are orangey-gold and stare with both a burning intensity and compassionate concern.
