Akara Character in The Wild War: Anathema | World Anvil

Akara

The Human society can judge his own individuals with nothing more than apprehensions. But they don't care about the gender. There are two major types of Human and there are the mans and the womans and no one will tell the contrary thanks to Akara.  

The First Human

Akara is the first member of the Human race. Created by Drovil, she received knowledge from him. She learned more about herself and wanted to learn even more. When she was presented to the The Ancestors, they ask for her name and how was she referring to the individuals like herself or her male. She had already thought about it, and after that someone ask it to her, she found an answer.  
Because i'm able to feel and experience emotions, to show sensitivity, I think, I can would like to call myself a Human.
  So, they called Akara and her alter ego: "the Humans".  

A curious subject

  More time passed, more The Ancestors talked about them. What they can do, how far they can go ? That was their conversation subject for a while. During this time, everyone tried to make "their Human", and so the other races were created. But they studied Akara to learn more about how the brain works. Even if the others races lived, they were not thinking. Some of the Ancestors found a solution and were able to create their own version of the brain. But some, as Li'for, were'nt able to even touching the "conscience".     Akara met the others races and immediately understood what was missing in the Elves or the Werebeasts. They did not have memory. They were not capable of remind what they were but only primitive instincts, like eat or sleep. Dae'lo followed Akara's advices and it worked, the Werebeasts were "alive". In front of this scene, Li'for developped a new feeling: frustration. How could such a mortal thing see anything that an Ancestor had not seen ?  

Fatal error

  Li'for threatened Akara not to interfere in her business but she did not really understand. So he referred that to Drovil who did not understand either. How could he describe something like a feeling ? Unable to explain himself, Drovil didn't see the problem and let Akara act as she wants.   She went to visit the Dragons, and mainly her friend Ophiucus and Li'for saw the opportunity to kidnapped her. He used her with all the methods he knew to study this being. Injured, Akara suffered from the crualty of Li'for and cannot die until he as done with her. Drovil came to save her and, when he saw her body, became mad. He didn't understand. Akara called him for help, but the atrocities that she undergoes cannot be undone. Unfortunately, there was only one thing he could do. He ended her life for her sake. Then, he took revenge on Li'for. Her death did something that Norma didn't expect. The Ancestors fought each other. A destructive battle unexpected, that she needed to stop. Their fight created the area, today know as the Damarah's Desert.
After her death, Drovil gave his anger to the Humanity. This conflict was engraved in the memories of the races but the Elves are less rancorous than the Humans. So the conflict between them is alimented by this anger anchor in their D.NA. because of jealousy and contempt.  

A forgotten symbol

  Her body is in the "tomb of the First" in Agares. Agares was built to protect her tomb from the others Ancestors. On her burial, it was graved these words:
Humanity was the first and it must guide in harmony and balance the others on the path of wisdom.
  Then, Agares became the capital of the Principality of Rande and they believe in these words. The words of Drovil, the words of Akara.
No image
Unfortunately, it exist no picture of her.

Author's Notes

Because there is one language (English or French according to the versions), there is can't be an etymology. So I found the idea to use one of the Human definition: "Who is understanding and compassionate, showing sensitivity.". I hope you will excuse this lack of coherence.
