[Ashleigh]

Description: An attractive young woman (17 years old) with green eyes and red hair. She stands 5'6" with a fit and somewhat curvy figure. Her hair is slightly curly or wavy and falls to her shoulders. Her features are a little angular with exotic beauty that is not elven, but reflects a mixture of her Fey Heritage. Her movements often show a natural grace, that is effortless, but unusual for a common girl.

Personal Style: She wears an explorer’s outfit in two tone green with green trim under her chain shirt armor. She wears some earrings that have some greenish metallic feathers that dangle from her ears. She does carry around two modest dresses for normal attire that she wears when nor adventuring that accentuate her curves and push up her bosom to show off her modest cleavage.

Personality: Ashleigh is a friendly, "ditzy red head" who has a rather clueless and sheltered view of most things. Nor does her lack of common sense help her overcome this image. But she is actually quite bright if under educated. However, in times of danger or stress to things she cares about, she also has a dark side that, if triggered can be quite harsh, unthinking and violent.


Background:
As a young child her human parents were either killed or died of unknown causes, as she was too young to remember. But she was taken in by some fairy folk for awhile as she had some shared heritage. However the village of her parents thought she should be raised by humans and they took her back by force thinking the Fey had killed her parents. They put her into the care of a widowed farmer named Miles Carlisle who raised her as his own.

So she grew up knowing she was adopted and worked out on Miles’ homestead just outside of Callenburg. There she learned some skill at making pottery, but she was not so inclined to continue that as a career choice. Miles kept her busy with chores most of the time, but her heart called her towards something more. She always felt unable to settle down, particularly with her Fey Heritage and arcane powers that arrived in adolescence. Then Miles died when she was 16, leaving her alone.

She was smart enough to seek the aid of someone to teach her a few things about the arcane skills, but she didn’t take to the book learning or the idea of being an apprentice very well and wished to try her hand at adventuring. With her looks, it was a better alternative than being talked into the courtesan business that some were encouraging her to undertake.

[Celtic Guardian 7]

spoiler: show

Name: Coraline Roydon Solberg
Race: Human
Gender: Female
Class: Paladin 5
Alignment: Lawful Good
Deity: Heironeous

Description:

Personality: When first meeting others, Coraline acts formally and politely. It quickly becomes evident when staying near her that such traits are more for appearance than being her true nature. When she is able to relax around people, she shows herself as an energetic person with a love for new experiences. Kindness is at the core of her being, and while she will strike down evildoers when needed, she prefers to show mercy if they are willing to reform.

What Coraline hides is the many insecurities she has about herself. She questions whether she has the proper attitude for a noblewoman, and often she wonders if she is strong enough to be entrusted with the lives of others. Such doubts are considered weaknesses by her, and she makes an effort to ensure nobody sees them. She sees her path as vital for the one she loves, and that has outweighed her fears.

Backstory: Coraline was the only child born in the Roydon family, which was a noble family of some fame. She was raised with love, but also with over-protection. Her parents believed she should be raised as a perfect lady with a good education. Not knowing any other way to live, Coraline did her best to please her parents, but often wondered if she could do more with her life.

When she was seventeen, Coraline was kidnapped by a group of criminals to be held for ransom. As they were trying to get away, a lone paladin came to chase them down. It was a classic knight-in-shining-armor story. He swept her onto his horse and took down the enemies without any back up. Coraline was instantly enchanted, not only by the man, but also by how one person serving good could so easily save others.
