## Biography

Aisling was born in the early months of 481XR in a small farming village within the forsaken realm near the boarder of the common realm. The second child of two commoners with middling magic power at best it seemed all but decided from birth that she would live a normal, unexciting life within their small community. And as she grew it seemed that would be the case, spending her years learning to help out around the farm. Namely in the house, cooking and cleaning while her older brother worked the fields alongside their father. Going to school when she became of age, she would learn about the Kingdom beyond her small village, of the nobles and royals that ranked above them in power and status, as well as of the Magic Knights and the Magic Emperors both past and present.

It was upon learning of the former magic emperors and their promise to bring equality to the country of Clover that Aisling decided that one day she would follow in those footsteps to become a magic knight and one day the magic emperor so that she too could work toward that goal. However, it would only take a few short years for her to become disenchanted by the idea as she learned that her father and their farm were being extored by the Magic Knights stationed in their town. Only coming to fully grasp the concept of their monthly visits and why her father gave them Yul whenever they came around. Though her will was shaken, she hadn't yet given up on her dream, instead finding it strengthened as she wanted to change the system from within so that people like her family would never have to fear something like extortion ever again

It wouldn't be until the age of ten that her disenchantment to reach its peak only a few days after her brother returned home from the grimoire tower, feeling empowered by his new grimoire he confronted the Magic Knights upon their arrival with then intention of never letting them steal money from their family ever again. Aisling could only watch as things escalated, as her parents begged them not to listen their son's ramblings, to simply take the money and go. But when spells began to fly there wasn't a thing even her parents could do. Beaten and bloody she watched as her brother was arrested by the Knights and taken away. It was the last time she saw her brother, told by the very Knights that arrested him that he'd escaped and couldn't be found. Everyone in town knew the truth, even the young ten year old Aisling had become wise to the way things worked within her small farming village. No one spoke up, not a peep. Not even an accusatory glare as the Knights walked by.

To say her parents were devastated would be an understatement, her family never felt the same again and how could they? It was only at this time that a new emotion awakened in Aisling, she learned what it meant to despise another human being for the first time in her life. The loss of her brother brought hardship upon their farm, something that Aisling tried to make up for by helping out in the fields but ultimately their father had to resort to hiring farmhands to help out, cutting the meager profits the farm was able to make even further, making it difficult to both provide for one another, keep the farm going, and pay the magic knights their monthly sum. The few occasions when ends just could meet always resulted in disaster of some kind, be it a sudden fire in the barn, a missing cow, or newly planted crops seemingly flattened in the night. The setbacks were harsh, and every time she saw them, the knights with their robes, even the ones visiting the village, the pit in her stomach grew and grew.

As all children did on their fifteenth birthday, Aisling too traveled to the Grimoire tower near her home to take place in the ceremony and receive her grimoire. The village came together to celebrate the milestone for all of their children but everyone knew that more than the others the town was celebrating the grimoire that she'd received, Dream Magic. A rare and powerful magic, to be gifted to one such as themselves? Some might have even called it a miracle. As the night of celebration went on she became more and more jaded by those telling her she should become a magic knight, to take the exams and bring honor to her family. She had no intention of doing any of that, instead she retired early that night to rest after the journey to the tower.

A few months later, the quarters in which the magic knights stationed in their town lived in was gone. Not just the knights but the building itself. The village was shocked, and it would only be a few hours after the discovery that more knights arrived and an investigation was launched. However, despite months of searching and questioning the townsfolk nothing more ever came up about the missing knights who seemed to disappear without a trace.

Only a year later the same would happen to the Emrys family home, leaving no trace of the family behind.
