Appearance

Long blonde hair, pale skin, and blue eyes make up the physical features of this young lady. In battle, she wields her deceased brother's sword in one hand and the standard of her current army in the other. Yara dons a modified full-plate armor and though her front is well-guarded, her backside is exposed, embodying her unwillingness to retreat from any encounter.

Personality

"Life in death, peace through war." It was a motto oft-spoken by Yara's late brother and one she had adopted as her own. At first, she had wondered at its meaning but later, after her brother's eventual demise and subsequent training she had undergone, she pieced together her own interpretation of those words. To her, it meant that with every life taken in the battlefield, another was saved from the horrors of war. It meant that even as death abounds in her surroundings and good men fall, there will come a time when the conflict ends and peace is secured. Thus, whenever she loses her friends and loved ones, whether it be in the battlefield or out, she would frequently speak those words both as a means for her to cope with the loss as well as a method in which she can provide consolation for the dead,

Biography

Through her brothers death during an orc offensive, Yara became the sole remaining heir of House Al'vem, a ruling body within the Serrindale province. As a result, she became laden with heavy responsibilities and expectations unbecoming of her tender age. Much of her childhood, then, was abolished in favor of the harsh training required of a soldier and the strict etiquette of a noble. However, with her innate gifts, Yara quickly became accustomed to such a life. It was found that she naturally possessed the poise prevalent in high-born society, requiring only paltry guidance to set her on the "proper" path. And as for the military training, she discovered a new-found passion in tempering her body and perfecting her martial prowess in preparation for the frequent border disputes with the neighboring orc tribes. If nothing else, such rigorous activity also took her mind of things and helped her cope with the loss of friends and family lost due to the recurring battles. Later, with her skills honed through nigh-constant warfare, she joined with the White Ravens in order to defend those who could not protect themselves and to prevent the tragedy of the past from ever repeating in the present.
