Warm, Bright, and heartwarming, Ember is a force of nature, embodying her nature as a child of the flame
Torvald, the wizened old werebear, had been her father, her mentor & her friend. He taught her the ways of the world, to think first & act second, and to always venerate The Forest Queen, Mielikki. Then came the fires. It started as a thunderstorm, fierce lightning, monstrous winds. It was as if Talos himself had set his gaze upon their small, High Forest glade. Though her father survived, their glade did not. Ember was devastated, she had been born there, raised there, she knew most of the animals & plants that made it their home. In time, with her father's help, she garnered a respect for the raging wildfire, understanding it's importance to the never-ending circle of life. With her nature being tied to the flame, was this her path, truly it seemed so.

Personal history
She was raised by her father in a small, peaceful glade in the high forest, where he taught her the ways of Mielikki's clergy, the ways of a druid, and the importance of nature in the world. She took to it like, if I could use the phrase, a pig to mud, enjoying the peacefull life it offered. At times, they would venture out to the villages that bordered the High Forest, offering them help with their crops, their injured or sick or in predicting the coming weather. Ember's mother was a ranger, and though she was often away for her work, she always came home to them when she could. Her life continued much this way for many years, until a great storm ravaged the High Forest, causing her families grove to be destroyed by a great wildfire. She was 16. Thankfully nobody died, but the loss of her home wounded her greatly. They were forced to move into the grove of a neighboring circle of druids, where Ember started her long road to healing. With some help from her father, she began to see the beauty of the wildfire, and it's place in nature, clearing out space for new & beautiful life to grow in a once stagnant land.
