Airna

This is NOT AN ALOY CLONE I SWEAR

## **Background**

She was born in the snowy landscape of Seliana, her mother working in the kitchens that feed the majority of the settlements hunters whilst her father was a Hunter. She followed in her fathers footsteps and he actually began training her at a young age, around 14 years. He didn't allow her to do anything outright dangerous until she reached the ages of 16 but by that time, she had learned a lot regarding tracking, trapping various creatures and how to handle her glaive [thought not actual battle experience].

When her father was off hunting, she sometimes assisted her mother in regards to cooking and as such has a basic knowledge regarding food and flavorings- she can make a decent stew on the go but don't expect anything fancy. She often sought out the herbs and mushrooms used in cooking for the kitchens and was on quite good terms with the other cooks.

At 16 she began joining her father on small hunts and then bigger ones and finally at the age of 18, she was her own hunter and joined the actual Guild. Since then she's steadily done her fair share of hunts and slowly built up her rank within the organisation.

## **Personality and Behaviour**

Overall, she would consider herself generally a very level headed and down to earth person; she comes at every problem with facts to figure out things rather than be a headless chicken under stress. She is quiet, reserved but not above joining in conversations and giving her opinion on whatever topic strikes her fancy- she has confidence in her abilities that sometimes sounds like cockiness.

Learning about new things are one of her main drives; many times shes tracked monsters just to watch what they do on a daily basis, observing and picking up patterns. This aids her as a hunter but also allows her to understand what makes a large portion of her targets tick. Her youth was spent tracking monsters which she was happy to do as she was very into learning about all the creatures around her- now older, she has a deep respect for the creatures she's sometimes required to hunt but she also gained an ability to trek over various unknown territory, though not as unknown as her current location.

She has a decent knowledge on plant life, having taken many of her dads gathering quests whilst he taught her; back home, she is on great terms with not only the kitchen staff but also the various healers that seek her knowledge in the growing locations of various herbs and mushrooms.

## **Occupation**

She is a hunter, currently of a low rank but will no doubt climb the ranks eventually.

When not hunting, she is often seen dancing the night away.

## **Likes and Dislikes**

**Likes**

Exploring. New sights, sounds, smells get her blood pumping. She has a weird knack of covering unknown terrain surprisingly quickly with a very good skill in regards to climbing [especially when kitted out in armor].

Monsters. She likes monsters, enjoys learning about them, observing them. She has a few books shes, over the years, filled with her observations and a few sketches [whilst no artist, you can at least make out what the monsters are].

Sandwiches. Anything shoved between pieces of bread? Perfect. Not a picky eater by any means but something about bread with filling is just \*chefs kiss\*

Snow. She misses her home that was often covered in a blanket of the powdery stuff; cooler weather in general agrees with her.

**Dislikes**

Khezu. For reasons she'll keep to herself, the Khezu is the one monster she hates and would rather avoid than engage in. Hunters wearing it's armor and wielding it's weapons? She thinks are completely nuts.

Heat. Born and bred in the cooler climates, she hates the heat some places bring- mainly any area that sports lava. Hunting in these locations are very uncomfortable for her so she tries to avoid it, even tho it is very unavoidable.

Deep Water. Any body of water makes her mildly anxious but it's when she has to go into openly deep water that her irrational fear kicks in- travelling via boat to the new settlement was an experience she doesn't want to repeat.

Stews. Having been basically raised on it, she views stews as a necessary evil- something simple and easy to make on the field yet she finds it hard to stomach. Not unusual to see her dipping bread into the stew and just eating that.
