## Biography

Adanessa is the youngest of her siblings, her two older brothers are twins. Her father is a highly respected and well known for his strength and accomplishments in the the town's military force. Her mother was from a house of pure bloodlines. Her mother comes from a long line of herbalist. With her achievements, she is now on the council and in involved with herbal/ medicine education of the youth.

With three children, the Shyr household was quite rambunctious. They would often turn heads with their high energy levels. Well, it was mostly Adanessa's brother causing mayhem. Adanessa always was found at her mother's side, reverent and sweet as an angel. She had been a mirror image to her mother and quite the opposite of her outgoing brothers. Her mother would often complement Adanessa for being such a mature girl because of this.

As Adanessa is always found by her mother's side, her brothers were often by their fathers’. At a young age, she learned how to be her mother's assistant with managing herbs/ medine and teaching, while her brother's learned how to be guardians of the forest. Her father once tried to teach her the basics of self-defense. After many failed attempts and a couple of her broken limbs, her mother forbade it. Adanessa had been such a small, fragile, and gentle girl. A blade did not suit her. Or so her mother would give her that excuse. It was at this time that it was found that Adanessa didn't have an affinity for their arcane magic.

Even so, Adaness worked her little heart off to prove her worth. She exceeded her mother's expectations when it came to the greenhouse often contributing her efforts to learn and exceeding her expectations even more. Adanessa would indulge herself in her mother's work, making it her own. She soaked up knowledge and sought out this said knowledge. By the age of eight, she could tell you every plant in the greenhouse and what they were used for, and how to combine them. She could even grind up excellent medicine. Often, one could hear Adanessa's soft singing voice as she worked. She would always receive compliments as her voice seemed to be so calming and innocent.

By the age of twelve, Adanessa was admitted into the academy. She indulged herself in her studies to learn as much as she could. She was labeled a prodigy as she made it to the top of all her classes. But it was all due to the fact that she studied her heart out. Thus, sacrificing her social life. One of the many things she learned was the many languages of the land, even beyond Emala. It has been such a shame that she couldn't manifest even a tiny spell. She found herself struggling even more to prove her worth, especially when she stood next to her mother.

When she was sixteen, an attack happened. Demons had ventured into the forest they protected, it had been a rare instance and out of the blue. They contaminated the forest, destroying the forest from its roots. Warriors and healers were asked to make their way to the battlefield. This included the three siblings, though, Adanessa was merely a second thought because of her lack of defense for herself. She was good at giving a hand and her mother had to stay at the clinic for the more dire injuries.

She never had been near a battlefield and it was a shock to her. All the blood, gore, the damage. It was like the forest was screaming in pain and she could barely hear over it. The fighting was overwhelming. The elves were putting on a good show, but the demons were strong. Very strong. Adanessa was able to keep a calm facade and get her job done. She was a battle healer. It needed to be done. Healers stayed out of the way, dragging the weak and injured away from the battle at any convenient time. Adanessa worked quickly to wrap them up and getting them to safe grounds.

It was while she was working, afar from the battleground, the healers and injured safety net was breached and demons came trampling through. The majority of the healers were able to defend themselves with minimal damage. Adanessa had to stay back and hide. Though, she was the unlucky one to come across a demon while hiding. Adanessa was quick to scramble around, barely missing any of the attacks this particular demon held, but she couldn't dodge forever.

She ungracefully tripped over the earth and the demon was at her, sending a ball of fire her way. Except, it never reached her. Ainion, her brother, had wrapped himself around her and took the blow. Adan and her father came forth, taking care of the demon. Adanessa held her almost lifeless brother in her arms. His whole back was charred, his right arm missing. She could barely remember listening to his voice, filled with so much pain, telling her to leave. To get out of there. The only thing she wanted to do was save her brother like he selflessly shielded her.

She can remember the tears and then something coming over her. Her eyes glazed over, her movements rigid, but her voice came out smooth and beautiful, carrying out a melody as she sang a verse. She couldn't tell you what happened after that. Upon waking up, she was in the clinic, her brother alive but missing his right arm. She held guilt. If it wasn't for her incompetence, he wouldn't be missing his warrior's arm. Despite her brother not blaming her, she couldn't forgive herself for what happened to Ainion. She couldn't even look him in the eyes. She could see his struggles and she couldn't deal with them.

An elder elf, a linguist and scholarly elf had heard of her powers being used on the battlefield and visited her. He explained that her powers are from a very old time. Older than he. It was lost magic. Once held by the elves that were blessed by the Goddess Dové during the war. The magic came from a song called Dové's Hymn. It was weird how she could recall the first verse. It was as if she knew it all her life but she barely just learned it. The scholarly elf explained that it was a blessed power and urged her to continue to find the rest of the lyrics of the lost hymn. So she was taken under his wing to learned many things about ancient times in hopes to unlock the rest of the hymns. Because of her ties with this particular scholar, she made acquaintances with the other high-ranking elves. All were curious about her powers and the meaning behind the powers that were once lost now showing back up. Ada had grown excited for finally being useful and 'special' that she started to become careless and a bit arrogant. Her mother had tried to bring her back down to reality especially when her mother's house started to show more interest in Ada.

Deep inside the vast library in Emala, Adanessa's teacher was able to find a journal written in ancient scribe. After learning how to translate it, she found it held more clues on how she could find the lyrics of the hymn. Each hymn was based on the element of the lands. Water, air, earth, fire, light, and darkness. That was the extent of a background on her powers that she could make out. The journal was old and worn. Pages were missing. Though she did find out that the first verse was revealed by her emotions, the desperate need to save her brother did the trick. Eventually, she gained two more verses. After that, she was stuck, it was like Emala didn't have anything for her to learn anymore. At least, nothing to do with the hymn.

As things stared to become stressful in Emala and Ada wasn't being careful with herself. Ada's mother tried to persuade her to leave. Ada didn't want to leave, she was high off the feeling of being special. She always had felt inferior to others since she lacked arcane magic and the rest of her family were advancing fast. Eventually it was her teacher who suddenly prompts her into leaving to find knowledge of the land. As if he was rushing her out of the country. The older elf taught her a little bit about life outside of Emala and urged her to leave a soon as possible. So, she did. She said sad goodbyes to her family and left.

One thing that Adanessa isn't good at, is directions. She has a compass, but it's like she'd not even reading it. She tends to get lost constantly. That is actually how she found herself in Bastia. Though, she made good use of her knowledge of herbs and spices to get herself there. She was in the capital for a couple of days before she grew interested in the many herbs of the land. In her wanderings, she found a journal that had a few hints on her next couple of verses. It was at this time that the rebellion happened and somehow ended up as a healer in the rebellion.

After the war, she ended up wandering around again in search of knowledge. All knowledge. She just had a thirst for learning everything and anything. She used her voice to gain coins in the streets or sold medicinal items to make her way.
