== Biography ==
=== Somber Elegy: Broken Dreams ===
Katelynn Tezzar was born into a prominent family in the city of Royale, a bustling metropolis in the heart of the kingdom. Her father, Aron Tarron, was a respected lord who held a seat on the king's council. Her mother, Elyse Tezzar, was a beloved figure among the people, known for her charitable works and dedication to social causes.
However, Katelynn's happy childhood was cut short when she was just nine years old. One night, a group of assailants broke into the Tarron estate, intent on killing Aron and his family. Aron managed to fend off the attackers and protect his wife and two sons, but Katelynn was nowhere to be found. Unbeknownst to the assailants, Aron had hidden Katelynn away in a secret room in the estate. He knew that she was in danger, and he would do anything to protect her. In the chaos of the attack, he quickly smuggled her out of the city and placed her in hiding in a farming village that was quite a ways away from the city.
Katelynn was raised into a low-class family in the village, far from the opulence and privilege of her former life. She was forced to adjust to a new way of life, helping with farm work and living a simpler existence. Though she missed her family dearly, she adapted to her new surroundings and made friends with the other children in the village. As Katelynn grew older, she never forgot about her former life. She wondered what had become of her family and whether her father had managed to survive the attack. She dreamed of one day returning to Royale and reclaiming her place among the nobility.
When Katelynn turned eighteen, she was given a letter that changed everything. It was from her father, who had passed away several years prior. In the letter, he revealed the truth about the attack on their family and instructed Katelynn to take on his duties as lord of Royale. Katelynn was stunned. She had never imagined that she would be called upon to take on such a weighty responsibility. However, she knew that she couldn't turn her back on her family's legacy. With a heavy heart, she said goodbye to her friends in the village and made her way back to Royale.
Upon her arrival, Katelynn was met with skepticism and suspicion from the other nobles. Many believed that she was an impostor, a commoner who had somehow managed to fabricate a connection to the Tarron family. Katelynn knew that she had to prove her legitimacy and earn the trust of her peers. After Katelynn returned to Royale, she faced many challenges as she tried to prove her legitimacy as the rightful heir to the Tarron family. Despite initial skepticism from the other nobles, she worked tirelessly to rebuild the family estate and restore order to the city. One of the greatest threats to Katelynn's rule came in the form of a bandit lord who had long held a grudge against her father, Aron. This bandit lord had amassed a small army of followers and set his sights on invading Royale with the goal of killing Katelynn and taking over the city.
Despite the odds stacked against her, Katelynn refused to back down. She rallied her friends Leona, Damian, Ari, Mayra, and Alma, and together they prepared to defend the city against the bandit lord's forces. The battle that followed was brutal and intense, with casualties on both sides. However, Katelynn and her allies fought with incredible skill and determination, refusing to let the bandit lord's forces break through their defenses.
In the end, the bandit lord was killed, but Katelynn suffered a severe injury during the battle. She had suffered a fractured spine and was unable to move her legs. However, in a mysterious twist, Katelynn somehow managed to heal herself using some kind of magic. Despite the severity of her injuries, Katelynn refused to step down as the ruler of Royale. She continued to work tirelessly for her people, earning the respect and admiration of all who knew her.
==== The Journey to Ryalis ====
Leona mentions had been conducting a secret investigation into the death of Aron Tarron, Katelynn's father, and had uncovered information suggesting that his death was no accident but was instead orchestrated to lure Katelynn out of hiding. Katelynn and her friends decided to set out on a journey to find Leona's source of information in the neighboring country of Ryalis. Before they left, they notified the townsfolk to evacuate to other villages for safety until they returned. The party knew that they faced many dangers on their journey, but they were determined to uncover the truth about Aron's death and ensure that justice was served. With Katelynn's leadership and the support of her friends, they embarked on a perilous quest that would test their courage and their resolve.
Katelynn and her friends set out on their journey to Ryalis to find the source of information that Leona had uncovered regarding Aron Tarron's death. Upon their arrival, they found the source, a wise sage by the name, Elysia Pereguine, who confirmed the truth of recent events. Aron Tarron's death had indeed been a deliberate act intended to draw Katelynn out of hiding, and it was part of a larger conspiracy involving several powerful figures throughout the continent.
But as Katelynn and her friends delved deeper into the matter, they discovered something even more shocking. Katelynn's own backstory was not what it seemed. Through a journey of self-discovery and investigation with Leona, Katelynn learned that she was not just an ordinary noblewoman but a True Enlightened, a being born from the Goddess of Light, Luxianna, to help bring peace in the world and fight against the dangers that threatened life.
Katelynn struggled to come to terms with her newfound identity and responsibilities. But with Leona's support and guidance, she eventually embraced her role as a True Enlightened and began to unlock her true potential. She discovered that she had been given incredible powers, including the ability to control the elements and heal others, and she learned to wield these powers to fight against the enemies of peace and justice. As Katelynn and her friends continued their journey, they faced many dangers and obstacles. But through their combined strength and determination, they were able to overcome each challenge and grow stronger in the process. Katelynn emerged from the journey not just as a powerful True Enlightened but as a leader and a symbol of hope for all those who sought to make the world a better place.
A day passes by, an emmisary of Shandoria asks for Katelynn's presence. Katelynn and Leona both are severely skeptical of the request, but accept it out of blunt curiousity. The emmsiary, Hammond, asks Katelynn and Leona both to come with him to Shandoria to talk about peace, and how to fight the Empire. They travel through the frozen caverns onto the otherside of the Cascade Mountains into the Shandoria Tundra. Hammond asks them to travel to the east and they'll reach the Shandorian Outpost, where they can rest before the journey to the capital, Shandoria.
During their travels, Katelynn mentions that she feels like she's being watched and Leona agrees. They reach the capital unharmed, and speak with Lady Katrina. Katrina talks about how Katelynn is their key to victory, and how she should use her powers to restore peace before it's too late. Katelynn disagrees, and mentions that violence shouldn't be the only answer. Katrina, unsatified by the answer, calls forth her soldiers who take them both in arms. Katrina says that she'll be forcing Katelynn to use her powers whether she likes it or not. Leona, one of Katelynn's closest friends, was given to Vah'Loren, one of the Heretic Empire's most prominent generals. Katelynn and Leona are separated. Leona manages to tell Katelynn a vital piece of information: "Vestige. Remembrance. All frozen in time." 
Katelynn manages to break free, and immediately ran back to the capital of Ryalis to warn the others of Leona's kidnapping. Together, they set off on a rescue mission, determined to find and rescue their friend no matter the cost. Their journey took them back to Shandoria. With Leona's last words in mind, they read books beforehand that mentioned a place named the Vestige of Time, a frozen temple in the middle of the Shandorian Basin on the far western side. They reach the temple, where a single blue orb lays on the floor in the inner sanctum. Katelynn feels a slight familiarity with it, but shakes it off. With the orb in hand, they journeyed to the last location Katelynn saw Leona. When they finally reached their destination, they found that the Heretic Empire had taken Leona to a remote fortress hidden deep in the mountains. The fortress was heavily guarded, and the odds seemed insurmountable.
But Katelynn and her friends refused to give up. They launched a daring raid on the fortress, fighting their way through waves of enemy soldiers to reach Leona. When they finally found her, she had been badly beaten and was barely conscious. But they managed to get her back, escaping the fortress with minor injuries. The rescue mission was a success, but it left a lasting impact on Katelynn and her friends. They realized that the Heretic Empire was a formidable enemy, and they needed to be even more vigilant and prepared if they were to stand a chance against them. But through their unity and determination, they knew that they could overcome any obstacle and emerge victorious in the end.
==== Journey to Isling ====
Katelynn and her friend continue their journey, traveling to the next country over to get an audience with the Emperor of Aurelia, Aidus. Aidus is a friend of Leona's, and he agrees to meet with them to discuss their mission. During the meeting, Aidus reveals that Aurelia has been at war with the Empire for the past twenty years, and that Katelynn is their target. He explains that Katelynn's assailants who attacked her when she was 9, and those that killed Aron were all done deliberately to get Katelynn killed because of who she is: a True Enlightened.
Aidus tells Katelynn and her friend that they must be very careful and watch their backs at all times, as the Empire will stop at nothing to eliminate Katelynn and anyone who stands in their way. He offers his assistance and protection to Katelynn and her group, pledging to do everything in his power to keep them safe. Katelynn is grateful for Aidus's help, and she and her friend set off on their next mission with renewed determination. They know that the road ahead will be long and dangerous, but they are determined to complete their mission and bring peace to their world.

Lyenne argues that there is much more to this world than waiting to die. Lyenne tells Katelynn that she plans on bringing her along for the adventures she'll be going on across the world. 
Over the course of several years, Katelynn went along with Lyenne to the corners of the globe, fighting off decenters. Katelynn is proud that her daughter has grown up to be a very knowledgeable and skillful warrior, just like her. Katelynn often gave tips to Lyenne about her own knowledge about enemies, skills, and weapons and how to use them. Together they faced off many warlords and rebels that tried to cause global harm. Over the course of many months, Katelynn would stop talking for a period of time, telling Lyenne that, speaking telepathically drains a lot of energy. and that if she wants to survive, she has to stop talking for long periods of time. Though Katelynn reassures her that she is going nowhere, and that she is conserving energy.

Save her mother or let it be destroyed. Lyenne lets the crystal destroy humanity, though it doesn't end her life or Katelynn's life.
