quickening

Quickening had heard of the legendary Paranor since she was a little child. Growing up in the Wing Hove area, the children practically lived on the legends and fantasies the elders told them of. Her mother was a teller of the village. The village would gather around a fire and tell stories of faroff places and big adventures. Quickening never grew tired of them, especially the ones of Paranor. Her mother had told her of this Keep since she was old enough to understand the words. Her mother told her of the great and wise healer Quickening, and explained to her that she had been named after the healer. Quickening would pass this story with pride to the other children of the village, always keeping it in mind that one day she would travel to the Keep, and become a druid. The years passed, and her mother became ill. A few months later, she passed away, leaving Quickening with her childhood friend (Lysia), and her father. She lived with him for years, happy with him, yet saddened without her mother.As the years passed, the thoughts and stories of Paranor came alive inside of her head, beckoning her to them. It was then that she decided to leave. She waited til night, and crept out, leaving her father and Lysia a letter explaining her departure. After days of travel, she finally reached Paranor and made many friends. Unfortunately the pain of lossing friends has greeted her heart many times. She has lost such close ones as Cephelo, Hebel, Bremen, and Vorn. So much torment can make any path cloudy and hard to travel, yet there seems to be one who can light up the path...

Quickening has long, wavey blond hair that comes down to just below her shoulder blades. Her bright brown eyes show she is both curious and alert.Her gentle smile hides whatever pain resides behind it. Her usual wear is black; the traditional druid robes. Small freckles peek out on her rosey cheeks when sunlight greets her. Her favorite thing to do, is enjoy the beautiful forest which surrounds Paranor.
