Vahera Aelasar

Vahera Aelasar, known by the alias Vahera Alistair, is a player character in the Chronicles of Frostfire campaign. 
==Description==
====Physical====
Vahera is a Genasi trained for stealth. She was born with molten veined skin that is often too hot to touch, and red eyes reminiscent of her primordial heritage, and hair of living flames that will often grow and shrink in response to her emotions and feelings. She can also extinguish it at will to disguise herself if necessary. 
====Personality====
Having grown up assuming people will always distrust and fear her because of her heritage and appearance, Vahera became guarded, cunning, and sneaky.
==Biography==
==== Family History ====
The circumstances surrounding Vahera’s conception and birth are both mysterious and tragic. Her mother Vasati Aelasar was a member and high priestess of an elemental clerical sect known for dabbling in the dark arts and located in Evermore. This guild, seeking to summon energy from their primordial deity, accidentally summoned the Primordial Fire Demon, or Ifrit, Kaicilius. Unable to control him once summoned, he unleashed his rage, killing several members of the sect and forcing himself on the High Priestess before vanishing. Seeing the destruction, the elders of Everesca exiled the priestess (now pregnant) and any surviving members of the sect. 
==== Early Life ====
Vahera was born and raised in a small village outside of Evermore, and having retained few elven traits, experienced prejudice and judgement from a young age. Vahera chose to become what everyone saw. This led to a series of mishaps and trouble of her own making, on and off until about age 14. Through her cunning and sneaky nature Vahera accidentally stumbled on the true accounts surrounding her conception and birth. Realizing what her mother had gone through, and what her true parentage was, she left her village afraid and confused. Eventually, Vahera found her way to an All Faiths temple in Red Larch where she took sanctuary. While at this temple, Vahera met a young Amalia Skye and began to learn the finer skills of thievery from local street runners and con artists. 
==== Return Home ====
After about a month residing at the temple, Vahera got word of an attack on her village and immediately left to lend aid. Upon her arrival home, she found nothing but ashes and ruin. Everything had been destroyed, no survivors to be found. Amidst the wreckage of her home she found a primordial symbol burned into the ground – a symbol of retribution, or a debt come due. Vahera – now detached, enraged with grief, and hell-bent on finding her father before he finds her – left on a new mission of revenge. Traveling through Red Larch one last time, she used her newfound thievery skills to break into the Akadi temple and relieve them of their Headband of Intellect and other valuables. She began to build a network of spies and criminals along the Sword Coast, using cons and heists to cover up the real purpose of gathering information about the whereabouts and sightings of her father. It was one of these pieces of information that led her north, where she stumbled upon a much older Amalia Skye and her group of adventurers. Unsteady alliances were formed as she continued the search for her father.
