Personal history

Lehaly Swiftwater, a determined and idealistic halfling ranger, hails from a humble background rooted in the depths of a dense forest (tbd) where she grew up accustomed to dim lighting filtered through a thick canopy. Her father, Alcott, was a skilled woodsman known for his ability to navigate the wilderness. He imparted his knowledge of hunting, tracking, and survival to Lehaly, fostering her love for the natural world.
 
Her mother, Poppy, was a talented seamstress who instilled in Lehaly an appreciation for craftsmanship and attention to detail. Poppy's gentle spirit and nurturing nature provided a loving and supportive environment for the family.
 
Lehaly has a younger brother named Milo, who is 17 years old. Milo possesses a youthful curiosity and a mischievous streak that both exasperates and amuses Lehaly. The bond between the siblings is strong, and they often shared adventures in the forest, creating tales of their own. Always concerned about her risk-taking, Milo once presented Lehaly a stone polished to a brilliant shine and gave it to her, declaring it a symbol of good luck. To this day, the stone hangs from a leather cord around her neck as a constant reminder of their bond and provides Lehaly with a sense of comfort and protection.
 
Lehaly often found solace and inspiration in the stories of great heroes from books like "Tales of The Fist." Lehaly would spend her evenings helping her mother with household tasks and immersing herself in these stories, secretly dreaming of becoming a hero herself one day.
Lehaly's childhood play often involved pretend battles, where she wielded sticks as swords, hunted bugs and small creatures, and climbed trees with fearless balance. Her agility and natural affinity for the wild made her feel at home in the treetops.
 
However, tragedy struck when Lehaly was 16 years old. Her father, Alcott, was tragically killed by a bandit who managed to escape justice. This event shattered Lehaly's world, fueling her desire to ensure that criminals like the one who took her father's life would not go unpunished.
 
With a newfound resolve, Lehaly set her sights on becoming a bounty hunter, determined to prevent criminals from causing harm to others. She left her forest home behind and ventured to the nearby city of Casteel to embark on her career. Over the past five years, she has honed her skills, apprehending low-level fugitives and bringing them to justice.
 
Now, Lehaly finds herself on a journey to the great city of Shalzar, eager to contribute her skills and ideals in a city known for its sin. Her ultimate goal is to rise above the shadows and make a lasting impact, transforming herself from an aspiring hero into a true champion of justice.
 
With her determination, wilderness expertise, and a heart filled with the memory of her father, Lehaly Swiftwater is prepared to face the challenges that lie ahead and carve her own heroic path in the world.
