-Details-
Name: Helara Umeneri
Age: 22
Height: 5'6"
Race: Arsa Sidhe
Culture: Korami
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Appearance: Ghostly-white skin tone and disheveled pale white hair, a rare and ill omen of her birthright. Never seen without her old leathers and rusty armour. A determined stare from her crimson eyes reflects either disdain or admiration, and her relatively short stature for an Arsa Sidhe does not seem to dampen the air of pride about her.
-Story-
"I am blood-bound. I am honour-bound."
The Umeneri clan of Korami Arsa Sidhe, to which Helara belongs, has stood the test of time as a small and tightly-knit community of warriors that placed a great emphasis on their martial and spiritual traditions. Never large enough to be noteworthy, this minor clan mostly remained a proxy and pawn for the ambitions of the Great Clans of Ko'ram, eventually finding themselves as longtime loyal vassals of the Odokhi. It was into this atmosphere that Helara was born as the scion of the clan patriarch, and expected to work hard to earn her place as heir.

As in many other warrior clans, Helara was expected to complete her coming-of-age ritual by travelling over the mountains in pilgrimage to "earn her name." When the time came, however, Helara took on an even greater task at the insistence of her father. Taking the shattered remains of the ancient Umeneri family heirloom blade, Helara set out on a journey to reforge the blade and perform great feats to make a name for herself in the hope of earning the clan's full respect upon her return.
Having travelled far, the young and ambitious Helara now finds herself in the Southern Reach. Here in the wilds, it is said that the greatest weaponsmiths can be found and the greatest challenges can be overcome. Come what may, she intends to complete her task — for failure, in her eyes, means shame to her entire bloodline.
-Disposition-
Tradition. Faith. Loyalty.
The three crucial tenets that Helara views as the highest ideals to uphold, without which she is nothing. These tenets guided and protected her clan for generations, and so they shall guide and protect her, too. Bound more to her personal code of honour than to earthly laws and material relations, to spurn one's past or betray a promise are the gravest unforgivable sins to her.

Helara may seem cold or abrasive others. Some have also noted a short temper that easily flares up when her elusive code is breached. She is curt in her speech, and does not mince words or hide behind disingenuous niceties. After all, a Korami warrior has no time for talk, right?
