## Early Life

Early on in life, Runa, previously known as “Varlae” was born into a village that mostly believed in the stars. naming her "the star child" due to their heavy beliefs thinking Runa would become some sort of leader of the bunch as she resembled the stars, her at the time long white hair that shined under the moonlight and pure light eyes. Due to her parents being out of the picture due to being seen as outsiders to the village, they were cast away and never to be found, only stories of their odd behavior and appearance but they changed their minds when Runa was born, seeing her star-like appearance. She had features of a sun-elf it seemed, but it was unknown why as they never tried looking into it. Even though she grew up in this lifestyle, she slowly started to resent it due to how pressured they were trying to give her tasks only the monarch could do, claiming she could take over the throne due to how she looked but Varlae always rejected the idea due to wanting to have a normal life. When Runa reached adulthood, she packed her things and left, the only thing that was left behind was a letter stating her 'journey' to a made-up place so it could but her quite some time before they attempted to search around the lands. With this rush of feeling unsafe, she dyed her hair pink with berries that she found in the forest to make sure her appearance was anything but a star. They went from place to place, trying to get farther away from her village over time as she knew they would expect her to take the leadership eventually even if it meant dragging her away. Runa spent a long time in the forest, alone before realizing civilization wasn't like her village, going somewhere else and attempting to change her barbaric ways of surviving on her own. She goes by 'Runa' to hide her past self and call herself the name her parents would have wanted from her, feeling shame whenever she has to bring up her past due to the people she considered "pupils" at the time.

## Recent life events

When she was in the forest her duration was mostly learning about nature and trying to see the best way to survive in it, although she couldn't have shortcuts along the way she wanted to find out the hard way which meant a lot of time of her recovering from animal injuries that were caused towards her, she started to learn how to cook slowly but surely along with how to grow plants that can help her within vegetation. However in the long run she couldn't really do anything due to the fact that she moves around too much to settle down, causing her to rely on bone broth and other small delicacies she can take in the long run. However, due to relying on bone broth and Bones alone, she adapted to the situation as her jaw seemed to somewhat become strong enough for leftovers of bone broth. Runa, thinking about her early life she started to think about the prophecy that the villagers have told her over the years over and over, that one day she'll try to meet someone that resembles the moon and shall be her companion until the end of the day or until calamity hits. She never believed this, however, she started to become more curious about how other people or things would act mostly of other people, if her religion was so uptight about things. Mostly with their beliefs.

## Present life

She currently roams the lands, covering herself with a cloak to hide her identity for any other “pupils” to not notice her. However she had met a few elves, one of them asking which elf she was while she kept her distance, not wanting to clearly be near them. Over time, she had gotten acquainted with the new lands in front of her, finding her new way of life that seemed to be now, laid back. She resides with Acadia due to the safety they had put in which made Runa at ease knowing she won't be in harm's way, at least being found by the people who are hunting her down to take over the order they had set down, however learning there is more than just civilization within Oracle made her weary of who she trusts.
