Hilda Ygg'la

Hilda Ygg'la (Real name Pallas Diakos) is an Elf - Swan Beastkin born in the Sacred Circle, a mysterious and secluded society in the depths of the Norg Peaks. She's known for her open minded and friendly attitude towards people, even if most of the times she tends to keep herself in solitude given her lack of knowledge in what regards to social norms and activities.

She spends most of her times studying and investigating, which has led to her to become a known healer wherever she goes, even if sometimes she's met with suspicious gazes given her attitude and her lack of interest in what regards to monetary gain, the gratitude and happiness are the best way of payment for her. She's one of the co-founders of the White Mercy Association, a guild of healers that aims to not only bring aid to others, but also teach and form healers and rescuers.

### **Backstory**

Born under an arranged union, she's the Daughter of Aretha Diakos, one of the councilwoman of her homeland. Given the image of her father and the blessings that her mother received by the divines she was expected to be born as a powerful warrior whose image would reflect the perfection of two holy wings that the Nephlings lack, or at least that's what people in her homeland believed and expected of her generation.

Even if her image reflected what was expected, her talents since a young age were around the healing powers that the light could bring and not in the might and power it could bring. This in consequence would lead to disappointment from most of her superiors, her peers and her mother herself, giving her a rough childhood in where the only person she could rely on was her older sister, a woman that even if she tried to do her best to be a supportive figure would frequently abandon her side to fulfill her duties.

In her adolescence she began her studies in healing magic under the tuleage of a Lamia woman named Hygiea, who was the descendant of a prestigious family line of medics and magical healers. During those times she managed to learn most of what she knows in what regards to medical treatments, be it through magical, alchemical or chirurgical means, but also managed to befriend someone, a High elf by the name of Amena.

Her friend Amena used to be a rebel, one of the handful of people who could see that something was wrong in that society, and often would sneak out to venture beyond the Norg Peaks, And often Hilda would be dragged by her friend in this adventures, even if frightening at first this would bring chances for Hilda to see the outside world and learn from them, that even if they acted weird in her eyes they were just people seeking peace and happiness, which would inspire her to make a promise with Amena, prepare their escape and explore the outside world, providing help to whoever needs it on the way.

Sadly they would end up being spotted during one of their attempts at sneaking out of the walls, which would bring both of them to be judged, the veredict chosen by the council would be to place both of them in a duel, the survivor being freed of her 'criminal' charges. During said duel Hilda showed remorse and fear to even land a hit, choosing to avoid combat in all moment, only to manage to pierce her friend's heart with a short spear in a reaction of self defense. This situation would scar Pallas in the future with guilt, leading to the bad habit of overworking herself in an effort to fulfill her and her friend's shoes.

After some years of this incident and with an exhaustive training in the arts of archery and exploration she was sent as a scout to the Lesicia port to observe and inform about the situation during the beginnings of the Shadowlord's advances, which would lead to her meeting the rest of adventurers.

### Saga I

During her arrival at the Lesician regions she witnessed destruction and solitude, which would lead to her to wonder where everyone was, or if someone was still alive, it would take some days for her to discover the ways towards the Lesicia port where everyone was taking refuge. To avoid others to go through what she experienced she spent weeks on the De'peche forest guiding lost citizens and adventurers to safety behind the portal city's walls. In this city she would meet who would become a good friend and inspiration, a kitsune who showed to her blind kindness and help, which in turn would re-inspire her to put down her bow and once again follow the path of mending the wounds of others, even more given the actual context of despair and pain that the war brings.

After surviving the war that broke out outside of Lesicia against the forces of the Horde she took the decision to falsify her death to her people and to follow the adventurers into the unknown of what was Lavindeer island, leaving behind in the destruction of that combat the name of Pallas Diakos and adopting the one she used to present herself to outsiders, Hilda Ygg'la.
