Yara Arina

"Yes the perfect gift for me
Is a smile as wide as a mile
To make me happy as can be"
- Yara
==Description==
Yara is a small and very happy redhead of a fae. She is either surrounded by the butterflies of her namesake or cherry blossoms. She is a seelie spring seasoned fae.
===Armor===
She typically wears dresses or simple cloth armor with a little bit of protection.
===Arms===
She is skilled in the use of a katana, staff, and twin blades, but she mostly relies on magic. She has the strongest affinity for fire magic, closely followed by arcane. She also knows water, air, earth, and can use the polymorph spell to change into small animals, usually a fox.
==History==
A phoenix rises from the ashes and sometimes as does a butterfly, Yara found herself in a dying world upon waking numerous times. Memories jumbled, mostly feelings, emotions, images, and the like remaining as she traveled another world, absently wandering each door from Sigil. Searching for something. 
Upon one door she came upon a world with three moons, though only two were visible. She found that the moons spoke to her, reminded her of her sorceress abilities of lives past, as she wandered and found herself living among a race of small people. They took her in, offered her food and a home. Everything was shared between everyone, personal space or personal property weren't exactly a thing, and she felt comfortable and happy with them. She took up her lute, spun songs and tales from the memories and feelings left within her from... somewhere. 
She felt she'd found a family, a group of friends that she could be with for a long time. But something changed, shifted, and enemies from outside the village started to raise the dead again. She slung her lute behind her back and stood between her found family and the dead that wished to claim them. 
And suddenly the world shifted again, as if she was sucked into a portal, and flung into the void. There she was taken in by Moira, where she built a tavern and an inn and did her best to rebuild. When that world went crazy weird and the others escaped, she found an out with Jonah and traveled with him for a time in the realms. Somehow at some point she fell through a mirror (super weird) and found herself in Arvandor. 
===Skills===
A sorceress and a bard, Yara is skilled with the craft of music and poetry. Occasionally she will mix her skill of the arcane into her performance: a shapeshift into a fox, a wave of a hand to move some objects, or occasional balls of fire dancing along to the tune. Her primary element of specialty is fire guided by raw arcane power, but she is quite adapt in water and ice magic, air and lightning, and a small amount of earth. However, she has no ability to heal, and a very loose connection to the divine while she gives homage to the goddesses Ineania and Teshalia as well as the gods Thanos and Pelor.
===Vices / Flaws:===
The ultimate performer, Yara is confident sometimes to a fault in her ability to weave a tale or a song, and sometimes even woo a man or lady. She will flirt with pretty much anyone, but she does stop short if she knows her target is not truly available for a night with her. However, she does tend to act without thinking, saying exactly what is on her mind whether it was the wise course of action or not. 
She lived for a few years among a group of people called 'kender.' These people had next to no concept of personal possession so she would occasionally find things in her pack that she did not intend to take. 
==Personality==
Yara flutters like a butterfly most days, a fairly happy-go-lucky attitude, always doing her best to make her friends smile. She's a performer, a flirt, but ultimately a sweetheart. Though many may take her as fragile, she is far from and seems to guard her heart for the most part unless someone pushes their way in. 
===Beliefs===
Yara believes that life should be fun and lived to the absolute fullest. She also believes that everyone deserves kindness and love, but doesn't seem to think that love is something that will be ever given to her. On this last point, she was wrong.
Also fireball is seriously the best spell ever.
===Relationships===
====Moira====
There are vague memories of young witch named Kyra who was a close friend that when Yara found herself in the void she was instantly drawn to Moira. It wasn't long before suddenly coming into Arvandor that she found her home again with the winter fae witch and was adopted as her daughter. Yara looks up to her new 'mother' and hopes to make her proud.
Through her adoption by Moira, she has gained an adoptive father in Moira's husband, Amres, who seems to sort of tolerate her antics and the pink pony in the keep. 
====Lucius====
Her new adopted bratty little brother, the tiefling has taken to attempting to run sales of Amres' brews from her tavern. For the most part she tolerates him, even if she finds it fun to tease him as only a sister would.
====Nazir====
The lynx has been Yara's familiar since before she can remember. As true to his namesake, a genie of whom Yara has some vague remembrance from long ago, he believes himself to be a Prince of which should be in charge of his domain. He mostly preens and watches over the tavern, trying to keep the copper dragon Adorable from stealing too many things from patrons and the keep, but is not extremely successful due to taking very long naps.
====Ulf====
The tall hunk of a viking blacksmith intrigued her at first, matching her flirt for flirt. Soon enough she found in him a good friend and partner to spend time with and definitely stand in front of her when needing to fight (and hopefully not get too hurt by an accidental fireball). He also helped prove to her that there are men who actually do keep the promises they make.
====Topaz====
After Kirsi took off to another world and hopefully a better life, Yara made a new bard sister in crime, Topaz. She is her 'sister from another mister' and occasionally finish each others sentences. They run the bard enclave together and host many bard nights. 
====Tozzi====
She thought the goblin was fun before she had to get... rebuilt. She's still getting to know her, but definitely feels like she has a sort of partner in mischief in matchmaking.
====Armande====
The emerald dragon has found his love in her fae sister Poppy, as well as decided it would be a wise idea to start a competition of hordes and pranks with Adorable the copper dragon.
