Appearance
Fistara is a classic Trinsician beauty, slender and well-toned from the physical labors she took on. She had rich brown eyes and long, satiny hair that shines with the copper-brown color of a new minted penny.
Personality
Fistara is a proud and strong-willed young woman, born of nobility but also possessing a very strong work ethic.
History
Fistara's father, Radimus Ebonwind, was a huge bear of a nobleman who was a firm believer in the virtues. At a young age, Fistara and her two brothers, Favrik and Yerling, were instructed by clerics and taught the ways of chivalry. Radimus was a demanding father who believed that there was a ninth virtue: hard work. He believed his noble sons should not be above manual labor, such as chopping wood for the fires. "Honest labor, it makes you strong in character and in body. Chopping wood here will get you accustomed to the heft of the axe. It will serve you well in battle." As they grew older, however, Favrik and Yerling began to chafe under their father's expectations. Their noble friends scorned manual labor, believing it beneath them, and Favrik and Yerling were swayed by the pretty lifestyles their friends lived. Not so with Fistara. She had inherited her father's work ethic and was also driven to prove herself. Being a woman, she was not expected to fight, though she did still learn of the virtues and chivalry. When her brothers would shirk their chores to meet up with their friends, Fistara would finish them, chopping the wood, tending to the horses. She did it partly to prevent strife between her father and her brothers, but she also did it because she believed in her father's teachings. One day her father caught on and was dismayed at his sons, yet he was also quite impressed by his daughter. She pleaded with him to allow her to train as a warrior and Radimus grudgingly agreed. She began to receive the rudimentary training from the Ebonwind Weaponsmaster, but her training was cut short when Blight and his army of dragons assailed Trinsic. Despite her protestations, Radimus bought her passage on a ship to Haven to take her out of harms way. There, she found herself in the Twilight Fellowship refugee camp and joined their ranks.
Skills
Fistara has taken the axe as her weapon, following in the footsteps of her father. She learned woodcutting and animal handling at a young age.
