Biographic Information
* Full Name: Aevryth Sal'ar (née Sha'velas)
* Gender: Female
* Race: Sin'dorei
* Age: Mid-to-late hundreds.
* Place of Birth: Unknown (suspected Elwynn Forest)
* Profession: Chaplain
Appearance
Tall and statuesque, Aevryth's slim frame is not so thin as to be unhealthy, though it would not take much weight loss to be so. Her skin, naturally pale, has recently seen enough of the sun to take on a light, golden tan. Her features are delicate and symmetrical, and underneath the fel glow, her lavender eyes shine with a keen intellect. She carries herself with a disciplined, military bearing, though there is a noticeable stiffness in her carriage.
Her face is kept free of make-up and her white-blonde hair worn in a simple style: a ponytail, bun or left loose. Though her clothes are cared for, they are well-worn and more often than not, dusty from travel. The sole nod to vanity in her appearance are the occasional small braids threaded through her hair, each one finished with a small bead. On the third finger of her left hand is a wooden ring, inlaid with a softly glowing red crystal.

Personality
Aevryth lives in the world of ideas and strategic planning. She values intelligence, knowledge and competence, and has high standards in these regards, which she continuously strives to fulfill. To a somewhat lesser extent, she has similar expectations of others.
She focuses her energy on observing the world, constantly gathering information, making associations and generating ideas and possibilities. Aevryth is always scanning available ideas and concepts and weighing them against her current strategy, to plan for every conceivable contingency. She can be tremendously insightful and is usually very quick to understand new ideas, but her primary interest is not understanding a concept, but rather applying that concept in a useful way. She is driven to come to conclusions about ideas and her need for closure and organisation usually requires that she takes some action.
Aevryth is a quiet and reserved individual, interested in security and peaceful living. She has a strongly-felt internal sense of duty, which can lend her a serious air and the motivation to follow through on tasks. Organised and methodical in her approach, she can generally succeed at any task which she undertakes. She is a natural leader, although she usually chooses to remain in the background until she sees a real need to take charge. When she is in a leadership role, she can be quite effective; able to objectively see the reality of a situation and adaptable enough to change things which are not working well.
She is very loyal and faithful, placing great importance on honesty and integrity. She also has a dark, offbeat sense of humor and can be a lot of fun - once her stern exterior has been cracked. Aevryth believes in laws and traditions and expects the same from others, but if she is able to see a good reason for stepping outside of the established mode of doing things, she will support that effort.
====Hobbies and Pastimes====
* Academia: Though she rarely advertises the fact, Aevryth is an accomplished, well-read scholar and she tries to keep her mind busy when she can.
* Travelling: While she has yet to engage in any significant travelling that isn't duty related, Aevryth has a growing desire to see the sights of Kalimdor and plans to do so when her service in the Outland is concluded.
====Likes and Dislikes====
*Likes:
** Music: Aevryth has a particular fondness for choral and other vocalist-predominant music.
** Alcohol: A vice she has tried to shake in the past, Aevryth has found herself (over) indulging once again.
* Dislikes:
** Water: Due to a childhood accent in a river, Aevryth is somewhat frightened of being fully submersed in water.
Family
Aevryth never knew her biological family; orphaned at a young age, she has only the vaguest memories of her parents and a boy she assumes was an older brother. She was raised in an orphanage in Northshire Valley, a charitable institution run by the Church of the Holy Light and so her family became the priests and their charges - all of whom are now deceased through old age.
====Partner====
* Marital Status: Married.
** Husband: Kerelan Sal'ar
====Children====
* Number of children: One.
** Daughter: Arlanna (deceased).
Parents
* Mother: Unknown (deceased).
* Father: Unknown (deceased).
====Siblings====
* Brother: Unknown (missing, presumed deceased).
Personal History
====Before the Wars====
After the death of her parents, Aevryth was raised in Northshire Valley, in an orphanage run by the Church of the Holy Light. When she came of age, she made the decision to devote her life to the church and entered its service as a lay priest, taking personal instruction in the required prayers, devotions and theological lessons. After years of study, she was ordained as a Cleric of Northshire and served quite happily in the Abbey for decades, tending to the local population and teaching in the orphanage.
====The First War====
====The Second War====
====The Third War====
====The Sunfire Vanguard====
Aevryth joined the Vanguard during their Outland campaign, while the regiment was stationed in Terokkar Forest. She has since travelled to Nagrand and Zangarmarsh with them. The latter posting was the most eventful for her personally; after being ambushed on a routine scouting patrol, she and several of her companions were captured and brutally tortured for information by Sarath Valantir and his subordinates.
====The Twin Thrones====
Important Relationships
====Sariatha Caln'ath====
Initially unimpressed with the Sun Priestess' methods of enforcing discipline, Aevryth has since grown to like Sariatha. After surviving captivity and torture together, as well as the distressing aftermath of those events, Aevryth has come to feel almost protective of the younger priestess. More recently, she has agreed to become Sariath's tutor in Light-based magical disciplines, a responsibility she both welcomes and feels wholly unprepared for.
====Talavar Nightstrider====
To begin with, Aevryth and Talavar didn't so much share a relationship, as they were two people who felt perennially uncomfortable in each other's presence. Aevryth could not decide if she had genuine feelings for him, or if the fact he reminded her of a old flame had simply dredged up long-buried emotions. Talavar, for his part, struggled to understand why her demeanour had taken a distinctly icy turn every time he got near her. The situation eventually came to a head and after a heart-to-heart, the pair decided to start over and have begun a tentative friendship.
====Kerelan Sal'ar====
With his unaffected demeanour, similar age and comparable experiences to Aevryth, Kerelan is possibly the person she felt most comfortable around in the Vanguard. The two first settled into an easy friendship; sharing drink, card games and an appreciation for several things in life, which later developed into deeper feelings and eventually into a marriage.
Points of Interest
====Name====
* Aevryth: 'Whispering Daughter'. The first recorded Aevryth of note was Aevryth A'shalla, Highborne weaver of storm magic, and prolific scholar.
* Sha'velas: 'Gift Borne from the Crimson Dawn'. It does not translate well into the common tongues of Azeroth, so Aevryth keeps it in the Thalassian.
