Eraellyn

Tiefling / Cleric

Submitted character story

Eraellyn has a Voice in her head. Not a quirk, not a metaphor. An actual voice that isn't hers. When she was younger it told her to hurt her best friend and she did. She came back to herself mid act and realized she had gouged out their eyes.

She's spent every day since trying to make up for it. Took up the faith of Sarenrae. Became a cleric. Wears purple because it's the color of penance. Carries a healing staff and a first aid pouch because she refuses to rely only on magic, she wants to be able to help with her hands too. Her whole arc is about becoming someone who can be trusted again, including by herself.

The shadow in the background of her portrait is the Voice. It's still there. It hasn't gone away. She just doesn't listen to it anymore.
