Personal history

Astrea Dawnlight is 22 and 6'6 with shining tan white skin and illustrious golden hair. Astrea was found and raised by a nomadic tinker named Torien. During their years together Torien taught Astrea the importance of hard work, the struggle of the working class, and the beauty of innocent life. Around Astrea's 18th year, she and Torien came across a band of marauders named The Cobolt Cobra, whom Torien formerly worked for. In the short fight following, Torien suffered horrible wounds and Astrea escaped into the forest with him. After days of wandering, Torien caught an infection and Astrea found a town named Peleval with healers willing to help them or no pay. However, The Cobolt Cobra tracked the two to Peleval to finish Torien off. They stormed the city during the night, and Astrea worked with the local men and women to push them back all through the night. As the night wore on and rain began to sweep through Peleval, the defenders began to drop from exhaustion and wounds. Astrea pushed on as hard as she could to keep Torien and the people who had been so kind to them safe, and when all hope seemed lost, wings of pure golden light sprouted from her back and Astrea tapped into a deep wellspring of rage that had been building since she was a child. The Silver Lord marked her as his, and this newfound rage gave her the endurance to persevere through the night. By dawn The Cobolt Cobra believed themselves to be wasting their time, and retreated to the woods. After assuring that Torien would live, and The Cobalt Cobra wouldn't bother Peleval anymore, Astrea left to learn more about the angelic figure that granted her light.
