## Biography

### Early Life

In 5910 ASA, Berylandra was born on the planet Penumbria, a cold and dark world located in Umbran Space. She grew up during an era where tensions between opposing ideologies and political factions were beginning to brew.

### The Penumbrian Civil War

At the age of 15, Beryl saw the start of the Penumbrian Civil War, which was a four-year long conflict fought between the True Penumbrians—who advocated for all property to be owned solely by the people—and the Commonwealth of Penumbria—who pushed to keep the ways of old. Beryl fought for the Commonwealth as an adolescent soldier. During a conversation with her wife and her friends Lilian Larimarias and Samayo Nishikiyama in the year 5957 ASA, Beryl nonchalantly recalled killing at least two people with her bare hands during the war.

The Kawalans eventually joined in on the chaos of the war, but left the fighting after a certain point. Beryl fled the planet with the Kawalans near the war's end, taking her wartime experiences with her for the rest of her life.

### Time with the Kawalans

For quite some time, Beryl served as a soldier for the Kawalans.

### Meeting Epheria

By around the year 5950 ASA, Berylanda had left the Kawalan military forces to become a privateer, leading a small crew of other privateers. While traveling through the Dreamer Worlds, Beryl and her crew picked up a distress signal on a nearby planet. When they entered the planet's atmosphere, Beryl discovered the site of an attack from imperial Praeliorian forces who were hunting down a vessel containing Dremirians from the planet Kosmima.

## Personality and Traits

Berylandra was a Penumbrian woman and, as such, had a towering stature, along with vibrant indigo-colored skin, pink-colored eyes, and hair colored dark purple. She often kept her hair very short. She wore a moonstone earring on her left ear, symbolizing her love and connection with her wife.

If Epheria was the brains of the relationship, Beryl was the brawn. While a friendly face on Solitude Plaza and generally enthusiastic about most things in life, Beryl wasn't afraid to get into fights, both if it meant defending her friends and loved ones and also for the rush of battle. Battle-hardened and powerful, Beryl was a valuable ally and friend to the Dawns. Notably, she had less of a filter compared to her wife, although it wasn't entirely uncommon for her to speak before thinking.

## Skills and Abilities

As a former soldier, Beryl was well-equipped and knowledgeable on military tactics, as well as having been skilled in combat. She was strong and capable enough to have killed at least two people with her bare hands. In contrast, Beryl was a skilled baker and cook as the co-owner of the Dremirian Dream restaurant café.

At one point, Beryl learned to understand the Oktarachian language, but her comprehension of the language lessened as the years went by.
