Opal Daraln

### Appearance

A female dwarf with tanned skin, green eyes, and a heap of braids atop her head that run down her back. Her hair is dark brown and shorn on the sides, with a few prominent streaks of startling white. A swirling tattoo begins on her left hand, travels up the arm, and ends just below her jaw with jewel like features dotted along.

Opal will never be seen without a silver chain around her neck that ends with two interlocked silver rings, the symbol of Berronar Truesilver. Most of her armor and gear is of a silver or grey palette, and a silver tabard like cloth is typically tied along her belt.

On first glance, the dwarf may appear very well put together, but just a few minutes spent in her company would quickly reveal a clumsy and somewhat naive, although well meaning, demeanor.

### Backstory

Opal is naive in the ways of the world, especially to the happenings outside of her Dwarven homeland. She has known naught but her home town, Daunting, it's surrounding mountains and mines, the clan, and temple for almost all of her life. Where others may have yearned to investigate the far reaches of Faerûn, she was perfectly content to study rocks and sit in prayer in the Deep Kingdom.

Early years: To the disappointment of her parents, she was always rather lacking as a jeweler. She loved the stones and rock that surrounded her childhood, often spending hours as her only company, but could not will her hands to become skilled like the laborers in her family. In an attempt to excel elsewhere in service to the clan, she became an acolyte at the temple of Berronar Truesilver.

Opal was quick to become a devout member of the temple, thriving in it's structured environment, while studying and embodying the traits of the revered Mother with her whole heart. It didn't take long for her skills as a healer to flourish, and suddenly the young woman was certain of her place in the world. From there on, her days were spent aiding the clan through acts of service, medicine, and worship.

Recent years: Through her hard work, Opal officially received the title of Faenor, a cleric of Berronar Truesilver. The addition of new expectations and responsibilities have begun to push the dwarf outside of her bubble, ultimately sending her on a journey outside of Daunting. The unofficial pilgrimage landed her amidst the Vanguard, it's ideals aligning with many of her own. She is trying her best to adapt to the new environment, but often spends her time sequestered in study to avoid being completely overwhelmed.

Opal has much to learn of the outside world, it's history, and how to navigate it and it's people.

Family: Opal has a pleasant, if not distant relationship with her parents, as they can be found making pointed comments due to her lack of jewel craft on occasion. As they held no such expectations of her, Opal finds herself much closer, instead, to her three older brothers. Graph, the eldest, who is very kind and caring - often the one she would vent or go to for help. Albion, a lax and carefree spirit who is great at making others forget their worries. Lastly, there is Mason, who often causes a ruckus that ends with Graph cleaning some kind of mess up (but also leaves everyone laughing). They definitely gave Opal the 'little sister' treatment, roughhousing and teasing as they grew, but always remaining incredibly protective to this day.
