Losiento

## **Summary**

Losiento is a Cleric from the Church of Baldur, tasked currently with the mission to spread the faith of her church by founding a shrine of worship in a new settlement and by doing good deeds in the name of her god.

## Appearance

A female human standing at 5'7". Slender, but toned, her form is usually hidden by robes and armour. She is of northern descent, giving her a pale complexion. Her hair is very long, almost reaching the small of her back, but is usually kept braided and draped over one shoulder; it is a golden colour comparable to wheat or the rays of the sun. Her eyes are blue.

## History

Losiento was born into a poor family in a normal farming community out East. Normal in every way, life seemed rather ordinary for her until she was eventually touched by Baldur during a yearly village festival. During this festival was a tradition where a young maiden (anywhere between 5- 16 years of age) was chosen to make a prayer to the god of the sun, Baldur, so that their crops may be blessed. However, on this day, instead of the crops, Losiento had been blessed by the deity, which turned her originally black hair, into a stunning gold colour.

The Church immediately approached her family to claim her and she only agreed to go with them if they promised to provide for her family, since she would no longer be able to grow up and so so herself. It was agreed upon through a written contract, signed by the representative and her parents and then she was taken in by the Church. However, before leaving a childhood friend, Iskandar, made a scene, causing a huge fuss that delayed her departure for one more night so Losiento could settle her loose ends. On the morning she was meant to leave, she found a sealed letter next to her bed. It read 'Do you regret it?' A question that still frustrates Losiento to answer to this very day.

Losiento gave her up real name and took up her new 'faith name' as it was tradition for all Clerics entering the Church of Baldur to shed their birth names. Losiento was chosen for her by the high priest in charge, stating that it was a fitting name for her. She spent ten years since the age of 9 learning all she could under the schooling of the members of the Church of Baldur. And when she finally graduated at age 19, she was finally set to work. All members of the church were to partake in a pilgrimage which would eventually result in the founding of a new chapel or shrine, thus spreading the light of their god wherever they went.

A sngle pilgrimage should not take more than five years at most, though the majority came back after perhaps 6 months abroad.

For Losiento, her pilgrimage lasted ten years so far. Not for the fact that it took her many years to travel the continent and find a fitting spot to erect a new Church. No, it was simply because of her inability to not stick her nose where it did not belong. Wherever there was someone in need, Losiento would reluctantly give a hand to help them. Because of this, it took her ten whole years to finally come across a new settlement where the world of Baldur had not yet reached.

A few weeks prior to the current events, at a crossroads village, she met a half-orc Monk named Bo, who seemed to glue himself to her without much preamble. He has been more of a bane than a boon to her, but unable to leave him alone for fear of him causing untold grief and trouble, she allowed him to follow her around as she continues her pilgrimage...
