Personal history

Edra was born to a wealthy family in The Sun Kingdom. Her family were part of the political enviroment in Garda, they were a part of the Sun Council. Edra grew up in a household that was obbessed with training their kids to be the best, to keep the family name powerful and to keep the family in that wealthy and influencal circle. Edra's older sisters were naturally powerfully magic wearers, their natural talent was impressive for their age and they seemed to be useful additionals to their family. Edra, on the other hand, was viewed as annoying, embarressing and a disspointment. She wasn't as naturally powerfully as her sister's were, resulting in her family feeling embarressed and burded by her, feeling like she was just gonna try and bring the family name down. Edra grew up as a lonely child as a result, with her parents constanly ignoring and emotional neglecting her.    Edra spent her entire childhood and teenhood trying to be as powerful as her sisters. She became determind to be as powerful and as useful to the family as she could be. Practisng and studying and trying to be the best as she possibly could be, constanly overworking herself and eventually turning her into a workaholic. Once she came of age, her family wanted her and her sisters to portray their skills to the higher ups in a postigious university (if they got in, it would be fantastic for their future political careers). Edra tried and tried and she still wasn't as good as her sister's, she still failed and because of her overworking herself, she develops cracks on her hands. Her family were furious with her with failing and Edra got in an awful fight, resulting in Edra finally deciding to leave.    That night, the city is attacked. Edra's family and deepest friend are trapped somewhere during the sige. Edra tries her best to save them, but since she's overworked herself so much, her cracks get worse and she physcially can't, it's too painful for her. The place is destoryed, along with their loved ones. Edra feels like a failure, that her family was right, that she couldn't protect her friend (and lover) and her family.    Edra goes on to try and find ways to protect Garda, to protect everyone. She does end up going into politicals, working as an ambassador for the Sun Council. Eventually, one day, she goes to Earth after people realise the portal has been opened. She goes in, defeats the corrupted spirit and meets the gang for the first time, who beg her to teach them magic. She's relectant, but takes them to Garda anyways.

Mental Trauma

Growing up emtionally neglected her entire life, with parents who basicully thought she was useless since she was a child, that messes with your self-esteem. Edra grew up with a workoholic mentality as a result, always thinking she had to overwork and push herself in order to be strong, and this only got worse when she failed to save her best friend and family. She feels the need to constanly make up for her failures and for herself, feeling like nothing she does is ever strong enough, that she can't do anything.

Morality & Philosophy

Edra is very much in the "lawful good" catergory, with her compass of moratlity being dictated by the law but also of course by her own past experiences and views. Edra has a pesstimetic view on the world, but still strives to help people because of it.

Edra was never as powerful as her sisters or the rest of her family, making her the odd one out in her family, which was pretty noticable to anybody.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

Edra's main motavation after failing to save her best friend and family is to protect Garda from Diedamia and her forces. She doesn't want anybody else to suffer at the hands of this war and she wants to prove that she is strong, that she can protect those she loves and make up for the fact she couldn't save her loved ones. She wants to make up for her failings and protect when she couldn't before.  After she begins to care for the gang as a parental figure, she has another motavation, to protect them and keep them safe. This plays into her intally motavtion, to protect those she loves and she feels like if she can't protect the gang, then she really is the failure that she was before and can't protect anybody she loves. Her love for the gang and her want to protect them paraells her love for her best friend and the fact she still loves her family.

Vices & Personality flaws

Edra is an insane workaholic. She never wants to take a break, she never wants to back down, the only reason she ever gives herself breaks is so she doesn't start to overuse her magic. Edra also has little paitence for those who can't keep up, this is shown when she first starts to train the gang as she gets easily frustrated that they're so unskilled.

Her family only really ever saw her as the weak one and so never felt the need to invest any time to her.
