Personal history

Annalisa attended Garreg Mach Monastery; a institution of learning that resides within the city of Athkatla. She had been accepted as a student on her 11th birthday. Even at a young age, she had always wanted to protect her sisters, and fight off anything that threatened them harm. Durring her second year at the monastery, she discovered a method of being able to tap into the weave through a method called "bladesinging", and with the blessings of the Archbishop as well as her guidance, she quickly learned the tradition; however she was not satisfied and looked to other methods of combat for ways to enhance her abilities. She found her path late into her fourth year, and began to study a Monastic Tradition that was refereed to as the way of the Kensei. She continued to hone her abilities, focusing more on her ki than on the weave, and even studied fighting styles of different races. She graduated after her 7th year, and continued honing her methods while working part-time at the monastery's merchant shop. She then taught her style of fighting for 5 years over the course of 18 semesters (5 fall, 5 winter, 4 spring, 4 summer). After the rise and fall of Tiamat, she traveled north to Neverwinter to assist her sister with her shop The Arcane Guantlet.
