Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Kharen's avatars have a somewhat heavyset, pear-shaped physique with narrow shoulders, average bust size, and wide-set hips with thicker thighs. Her hair is long, curly brown and she is taller than most other deities on Auras. Her body language and demeanor are that of a person more used to contemplative and casually physical effort than someone who enjoys vigorous physical labor.

Body Features

Kharen's darker, olive toned skin and medium brown hair are usually set off against darker grey or green outfits. She strongly resembles the elvish heritage that rumor says she possessed before her ascension. She prefers simplish dresses or robes with a split up the side.

Facial Features

With a motherly, round face and large, almond shaped hazel eyes, Kharen easily comes across as compassionate and engaged; just don't confuse her for naive or a push-over. Her chin is strong, but feminine with full lips on an average sized mouth and nose that is neither large nor small, but is slightly upturned at the tip. She also has a generous sprinkling of freckles across her cheeks, neck, and shoulders.

Special abilities

Godhood.
Can automatically foresee the effects of an action out to the point in time which they are subsumed by some other action.
Can exert her will to forcibly realign the flow of causality to change history or the future (almost never uses this ability to any degree because of the way it disrupts the flow of events and usually causes major backlashes as Fate re-aligns with the new facts.

Apparel & Accessories

Kharen prefers to dress with simple elegance and a little flair.
Head: a thin golden chain with a bright green stone that rests on her forehead and functions as a +6 Headband of Charisma from the D&D 3.5 setting.

Shoulder: A sort, duster like cape of soft slate grey-blue with green trim that functions as a Mantle of Second Chances from the D&D 3.5 setting.
Body: A full-length mermaid cut dress of deep green and grey trim with a split up the side to mid thigh that functions as a White Robe of the Archmagi from D&D 3.5 setting.
Waist: A charcoal grey sash with green and blue accents loosely tied just above the hips that functions as a +6 Belt of Magnificence from the D&D 3.5 setting.
Feet: Charcoal grey ankle boots with gold buckles set with green stones and functions as Boots of Speed from the D&D 3.5 setting.
Arms: Gold arm-bands set with emeralds and jade that function as +8 Bracers of Defence from the D&D 3.5 setting.
Rings: One each Ring of Spell Turning and Ring of Protection +5 from the D&D 3.5 setting.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Kharen began her mortal life with an innate connection to divine magic and a quick wit that allowed her to predict the outcomes of other's actions. She joined the Council of Aleth early on in it's quest because she had come to the conclusion that if something did not change, the world would be ripped apart by the power of the elemental wars. After her ascension to goddesshood, Kharen found that her intuition for predicting outcomes had fully developed into the ability to read the threads of causality and foresee all possible outcomes of any particular action; as well as an ability to manipulate those threads to some degree. She used these powers to advise Corlan En-Dal as he organized and conducted the negotiations and discussions that led to and came to be known as The Accord of Aleth and established the Alethean Pantheon

Accomplishments & Achievements

Helped found and craft The Accord.
Stopped the War of Destinies.
Brought The Ascended Court into the Alethean Pantheon.

Failures & Embarrassments

Early on in the younger days following The Accord, Kharen became slightly obsessed with guiding people to follow the course of actions that would lead them to the happiest outcome of their lives with the least suffering and work; regardless of the will and desires of those people. She and her priesthood accidentally set themselves on a course that would have led to her becoming the High God of Auras and a tyrant. In fact, it did lead directly to The War of Destinies where she squared off in open conflict with a newly risen Goddess of Chance and Luck that ripped apart communities and strained the goodwill of The Accord for nearly a century before the two goddesses found a peace and reconciliation.

Intellectual Characteristics

She is strongly introverted; and while very intelligent, she doesn't always communicate very well with those she doesn't know very well. Kharen tends towards perfectionism and intellectual strategy, she strives for structure and logic, and can become easily flustered or distressed whenever things do not go according to plan. She's a little nervous and has trouble speaking with others when they are upset, but she is incredibly devoted to her friends, allies, and mortalkind; reacting immediately to protect them if she perceives danger.

Morality & Philosophy

Lawful Good, Kharen understand that all existence flows on a river of consequence and causality, all decisions are defined and influenced by the actions and decisions that came before it; with uncountable tiny influences pushing reality along towards certain outcomes. This means that working within the greater flow allows for the greatest degree of influence with the least amount of harmful disruption; and as such Kharen's leanings are strongly lawful. Because she is motivated by the prosperity and happiness of others, she is also good; however, she does have to keep an eye on her tendency to micromanage.

Taboos

Undead.
Wanton destruction.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

Kharen cares deeply about people and wants them to be happy and healthy. She also has the ability to see the threads and flows of causality that make up Fate and knows how things "should" turn out. She is motivated to pursue both her desire and the reality of things in a way to bring about the greatest happiness and prosperity for Auras as possible, especially her wife Rybech

Savvies & Ineptitudes

She is very good at logically understanding the base causes of a situation and calculating a plan of action to address them; additionally, she is quite adept at picking apart complex scenarios and repackaging them into relatable, manageable concepts and actionable plans to be delegated out for implementation.
However, she can have difficulty dealing with the emotional responses of others and struggles to think on the fly whenever a plan begins to fall apart and she has to suddenly become assertive and decisive.

Likes & Dislikes

Kharen is passionately fond of strawberries and chocolate filled pastries as well as clean orderliness and symmetry. She enjoys elegant and expressive ballet as a way of releasing tension and expressing her emotions while she also plays the lap harp, especially when she plays for Rybech. Dislikes disorderliness and uncleanliness and will go far out of her way to avoid even smelling or seeing a pickle.

Virtues & Personality perks

Kharen's greatest virtue, by far is her compassion and drive to help others, followed by her deep and abiding love for Rybech, the Goddess of Luck and Chance. She is also very faithful in her loyalties and duties.

Vices & Personality flaws

Left to her own devices, Kharen can become reclusive and obsessed with her work. Her passion to help others can drive her to become manipulative and domineering if they disagree with her conclusions about the best course of action without something to help her keep perspective. Luckily, she met her wife, Rybech, who provides a perfect counterweight to her introversion and makes it impossible for her to take herself too seriously.

Personality Quirks

Leans in to talk to people with a tendency to to put her hand on their forearm or shoulder. Will absentmindedly purse her lips and rest her finger against her chin when in deep thought.

Hygiene

Always appears clean and fresh with a light hint of the smell of violets and fresh water around her.

History

Corlan and Kharen were friends before the founding of the Council of Aleth and that friendship saw them through the difficulties of confronting the Elemental Lords, the failure of the Grande Binding Ritual, and the negotiating of The Accord. While their relationship was strained during the Younger Day and the War of Destinies, they were quick to reconcile once Kharen amended her method of carrying out her duies as Goddess of Fate.
