Gina Atakares

Gina Atakares (Ulthrane 44, 1705 - undetermined) was a half-elven priestess of the Divine Pleasures sect of Leathane. As tar as could be determined, she spent her entire career associated with the Palace of the Lady With Seven Golden Rings for which she was high priestess in 1742.
Gina Atakares was born on the Festival of Leathane, probably exactly a year after she was conceived (as normal with half-elves). Her mother Estrella Atakares, herself a Divine Pleasures priestess, definitely recalled celebrating the festival with an anonymous elven gentleman on that date. Aside from him. the time frame was not favorable for other elves for at least ten days, though elven traits may lay latent in human bloodlines for centuries and she was with plenty of humans in that time.
Gina spent her childhood growing and learning on the temple grounds, always intending to become a priestess like her mother. She grew up rejecting shame and knowledgeable in the ways of her sect, though not even the Divine Pleasures sect gave their students practical education until they were physically more developed. Being half-elven, this took several frustrating years longer than her classmates.
She gave birth to Minigallith Atakares on Willene 11, 1726; rumors said the father was either half-elven Sir Beibalar Zinmaer, O.B.D., the human (quarter-elf) Nalo de Sombrano who had been close to her mother, or the half-elf Sir Lyus Sleyden. She gave birth to Twena Atakares on Gondovard 41, 1729 (whose father is also in doubt). While Minigallith planned a career in magic, Twena was determined to carry on the family tradition as a priestess of Leathane.
Gina lost her mother when she was killed by Daeist fanatics while in a disease treatment outreach in the Temples Ward. Although she bore no bitterness afterwards, Gina made sure to study the temple's combatives to ensure that she could defend the faith. She performed adequately with the rapier and the bow, and had a custom suit of plate armor made with her mother's bequest. Her learning of her sect's magic was insatiable. She was ordained as a priestess on her 25th birthday, the Festival of Leathane of 1730.
She was called to serve in Lord Marshall Mondrocar Blackeagle's army during the invasion of Gormann's Horde. During the campaign she mostly worked to keep soldiers healthy on the back lines, but she shot her bow when her healing was exhausted at the Battle of Heddenfields. She was demobilized following the battle.
Months later she answered an advertisement calling for adventuring priests (simultaneously with Tatara Somart) placed by the Imperial Lord Chancellor's legation of Timien Griffonsmane. She accompanied them on several adventures including the Fist of Anneal incident where she located the artifact high within a column, and working diplomatically behind the scenes during the Zazimar War. She had a relationship with Enyago Silverstreak before he disappeared on his quest to deal with the dragon Vexicrucinae.
The group dissipated after the Zazimar War and she returned to her temple where her knowledge wisdom, and possibly Imperial connections got her selected as the high priestess, the Wearer of the Seven Golden Rings.
==== Description ====
As a half-elf, Gina retained her youthful good looks for a good long time. She had long brown hair that was usually done up in some flamboyant style, large sausage curls being a favorite. She had sharp looking green eyes flecked with pink.
She was generally dedicated to service for her community and companions, feeling purpose in being genuinely helpful. Gina focused on attending to her constituent's mental well-being as well as their physical and spiritual. Despite her sect's calling, Gina preferred class and innuendo to vulgarity, though she did appreciate a crass joke.
