Name: Aero (arrow)

Gender: Female

Race: Human

Age: 19

Hair: Silvery-blonde

Eyes: Bluish-purple

Skills: Aero can fight well with swords and daggers, but she excels with the bow. She can hit a leaf falling through the air from fifty paces. Aero is a calm, gentle soul and animals near her can sense it and trust her. She can train any animal to do just about anything. (Obviously she can only train them to do things within reason, for example, she can't teach a dog to fly, but she can train them to be excellent trackers.) Aero has a massive amount of energy and can use magic, but she prefers to use this energy to sing to plants like her teacher taught her.

Home Village: Drahs Leona

Parents: Arien, mother (deceased); father unknown

Siblings: Arston, brother

Character Personality: Aero is a very calm, centered person. She hardly ever loses her cool and prefers to think before acting. She hates to lose her temper because she knows that she could really hurt someone if she ever did. It's not that she has this state where she's all but unstoppable, it's just that when she really gets angry, she doesn't stop until she's completely exhausted or her anger dissipates. When she does get angry, she does her best to keep it under control. She views anger and rage as weaknesses and she's seen the damage a word spoken in the heat of anger can cause. Aero has extreme control over her emotions and for the most part keeps her opinions to herself. She loves animals and prefers to spend the majority of her time surrounded by them. When she's not playing or training with her animal friends, Aero likes to practice her archery and, occasionally, her swordsmanship. She likes to read and finds the study of plants fascinating, but beyond most of the edible flora and the one's she can sing into shapes, she's lost and can't tell them apart.

Character History: Aero and her twin brother Arston were born in the winter to a reasonably well-off heiress in Drahs Leona. Nobody knows who their father is and their mother always told them that they were better off not knowing. Arien loved her children and she told them that she had loved their father, but when she became pregnant (out of wed-lock) the man left her. Arien was the sole heir to her father's fortune, so the vile man hadn't kicked her out, but he made it clear that he despised his grandchildren and had nothing to do with them. When Aero and Arston were only 7 years old, a fire burned down their family home, with their mother and grandfather still inside. Suddenly Aero and her brother found themselves on their own with no one to look after them. Not long after the fire, the greedy steward of Drahs Leona, Marcus Tabor, set his eyes on their family's money. He sent men to arrest the two children and take them to a far away orphanage until they were old enough to take charge of the family finances. In the meantime he would 'watch' it for them. When the Empire soldiers came to take them away, Arston fought them and told Aero to run. Immediately she ran to the stables and took her mother's favorite horse, a red dun stallion named Taris and fled. The plan had been for Arston to meet her on his own horse outside of the city once he had knocked the soldiers out, but something went wrong. Night fell and she knew that for some reason her big brother wasn't coming, so Aero moved on.
A few months after she left Drahs Leona, Aero met a kind old elf who told her that she had much magic within her and offered to teach her. Aero spent the next 12 years with the elf learning everything that she had to teach the young orphan. With the completion of her training, the elf woman presented Aero with her own sword and bow, and Aero left. Her mission now is to find out what happened to her brother and to find him if he's still alive.

Weapons: Aero has a rather plain sword. The blade is medium length, but thin and double edged. It is made of steel and Aero's master used magic during the forging of the blade so that it will remain polished and mirror bright. The hilt is large enough that Aero can place both hands on it, but she prefers to fight with her sword in her left hand and a shield in her right. The hilt itself is magic-enforced red oak. It will never break or warp and is warded against magical attacks. The grip has cross-hatching on it so that it won't slip and slide in her hand. The guard is shaped like a cross and the left fork of the cross forms a basket with the pommel that protects her hand from being crushed by her opponents. She carries a similar-looking dagger in her right boot, but the guard doesn't have a basket. Finally, Aero's pride and joy, her bow. She doesn't know what kind of wood her bow is made out of, but it is pale red, like rosewood. It is very dense and heavy, but can fire an arrow farther than a longbow. The string is actually braided strands of her master's hair, and her own. She makes her arrows out of ash and fletches them with feathers from wild birds.

Likes: Her horse Antaris, her twin brother Arston, animals

Dislikes: Dishonest, greedy people

Weakness/Fear: Aero is scared of fire because her mother died in a house fire. This is a bit of a contradiction because she is particularly strong in spells using the element fire. (This is because she strove to master control of it so that nothing like that ever happens to her again.)

Animal Companions: Her horse Antaris, a red dun, the spitting image of her mother's horse Taris. Antaris is actually the daughter of Taris and an elven mare. About a year ago Aero found a puppy and decided to keep her. She named the youngster Rosewood, but calls her Rosie for short.

Appearance: Aero is 5'4" tall. She has waist length silvery-blonde hair that she keeps in a braid. She wears brown pants with a dark blue shirt and a green tunic over her shirt. She wears sturdy brown boots and a black cloak. The inside of her cloak is lined with pockets that hold basic healing utensils. She doesn't know much about healing people, but she is creative when it comes to using her basic tools to heal animals. Her eyes are rather strange, they're a shade of bluish purple. Everyone that knows her says she's beautiful, but Aero is one of those special people that doesn't notice her own beauty and doesn't flaunt it.

Dreams: To find her twin brother Arston and find out who their father is.

Reasons for Dreams: Ever since her brother failed to meet her outside of Drahs Leona, she hasn't felt whole. And since her mother never told them who their father is, she can't help but wonder who he is and what it is about him that made her mother not want to tell them.

Alignment/Side: Anyone who isn't greedy or evil.

For the record, this could be her eye color. And if you want a visual of Antaris or Rosie, just look at my avvy or the crazy animal topic.
