Queen Al'ara

### **Early Life**

Al'ara was raised in Draga, under the watchful eye of her father Tar'dil and her loving mother Talaraa. She had a comfortable upbringing, her family being prominent merchants. From a young age, she learned how to handle finances, make deals, and learn to manipulate others to her will. As she grew, she turned from a sweet innocent, and generally carefree girl into a beautifully passionate and independent woman that caught the eye of many Dragarian nobles. Some of which even fought for her hand in marriage yet she refused all advances.

Instead, she wanted to dedicate herself to her people, frequently donating money to the less fortunate and even working the fields and markets alongside them, much to the dismay of her father and the other Dragarian nobles. No matter how many time she was told to stop, her dedication to the common folk always came first.

With her age, came greater access to the many dealings that happen in Dragarian society whose challenges she welcomed and helped elevate her family to an even greater standing. Of course, Chief Draga always had an eye on Tar'dil's little girl, especially as she came of age but his advances became more bolder as her influence grew. He knew that a woman like that by his side, loved by the people yet smart enough to rule a kingdom would solidify the reign of him and his family for generations to come.

However, her rejections had begun to annoy him, to the extent that he is rumored to have threatened her father that if he didn't give him her hand in marriage, his family would be stripped of their wealth and titles. This never happened but Tar'dil, unfortunately, passed away one day and her world imploded. With no real "male" head of the family it meant that she had to choose either her family or the people.

#### **Harmony's Arrival**

When Harmony arrived, things truly began to change. She didn't know who they were at first but then she met the leaders, Master Reercon, Master Rhan and Master Eraldis and heard about who they were, what they wanted to do, and how they wanted to do it and it excited her. It was the first time she felt true hope for her and her people.

#### **Conflict Grows**

But then Chief Draga became more paranoid and began undertaking many secret meetings, the Chieftains willfully kept her in the dark about certain topics and rumors of strange cloaked men began to circulate around the palace.

Not too long after, Chief Draga began to publicly change, his attitude became more violent and impulsive and he began doing horrifying things to the people. It was at that point she knew she couldn't support the regime any longer.

Knowing that she didn't have much chance of gaining any sympathy in the capital, she escaped to the outer villages and disguised herself as the daughter of a Bantha herder called Dunk, assuming the identity of "Sarah". She had followed the works of Harmony since then until she eventually joined the Dragarian Reformation Movement.

Recently she popped up from town to town, speaking out against Chief Draga and his reign, gathering support and standing as a symbol of hope under the flag of the Dragarian Reformation Movement. Her noble blood and valorous actions gave birth to the name "The Maiden of Meibos".
