Ariadra

Submitted character story

You walked the King's Road and talked your way past iron because you believe words can rebuild what violence broke. Your father returned to the dark to free others, and that choice taught you heroism isn't escape but turning back. The strangers you help will never know what it costs to keep offering mercy when your blood marks you dangerous. They'll remember you as the one who made saving people look like the easiest thing in the world.

Defining moment: Aria's parents did everything they could to make sure that she didn't grow up in the Underdark, even if it meant setting aside their life's work and moving to a tiny village in the middle of nowhere. But when Aria turned 15, her father sat her down and explained that he had to return to the Dark. There were people there who needed help -  His help - or they would never be safe. He had been like that, once, and he was going to do whatever he could to share the chance at freedom. That was the day Aria realized her father was a hero, just like the ones her mother had chronicled and recounted tales of before bed. It was also the day she realized that her own dreams of adventure and discovery could be more than wild ramblings; She could do real good for people who desperately needed it. 

Can't stop helping strangers
