Mental traits

History

Quinn had an elder brother, Caleb, who was destined for the throne. They used to play games of pretend and act as grand knights, with the support of their father. As they grew older, they both took after their mother and spent Time ranging in the wilds.   As young adults, Quinn and her brothers received proper training in diplomacy and became a formidable team of rangers, skilled in tracking and hunting prey. Quinn specialized in using a bow, while Caleb preferred a spear.  

Death of Caleb

During a royal hunt brought about by their mother, they unintentionally attracted a dangerous creature, an Astalos. The rangers attempted to protect Caleb and Quinn, along with their mother, the Queen, but the two siblings jumped into action. The wounded Wyvern turned on the hunters, and despite their efforts, it killed Caleb before escaping. Caleb was honored and remembered as a hero who saved the queen.   Caleb's Death shattered Quinn. Her grief caused her to lose focus and make frequent mistakes, and she refused to return to the wilderness. A year after Caleb's death, Quinn visited his grave, as she often did. In a moment of carelessness, she was taken by surprise when the Astalos attacked her. She recognized it as the same wyvern that had killed her brother, marked by the missing eye it had taken before Caleb's death. Quinn engaged in a fierce battle with the Astalos but realized that victory seemed impossible. Just when it seemed the creature would also claim her life, Nillian Loth, in the form of an eagle, swooped in and distracted the beast. With this unexpected help, Quinn managed to slay the Astalos.   She nursed the wounded bird back to health and felt a deep connection with the eagle that had come to her aid. The eagle revealed itself as Nillian Loth and guided Quinn on the path to ascend the throne as the queen of the elves, following her mother's legacy.
