Skilled with: Trained in the art of sword fighting by a desert tribe known as the Annasir. Weapon of choice is a scimitar (when in human form.) In various animal forms, claws, teeth, etc. are used.

Appearance: Arella is of decent height for a woman of her time, standing at about 5'6". She has a toned, curvaceous build and maintains a healthy weight and appearance. Her skin is of a creamy complexion. She has fiery auburn hair and emerald green eyes. One identifiable mark is a pair of scars running along her left temple. Formerly a Consult to a king, she is sometimes apt to wear her old finery, silks and gauzes of bright and lavish colors. Though, most of her finery was sold and traded for clothes better suited for the wilderness. She is not against wearing riding breeches and boots, as she spent much time masking her appearance and even her gender.

Backstory: Arella is the last of the Therians... at least, that's what her mother told her before she plummeted hundreds of feet onto the rocky shore beneath Leviathan Cliff. Seeking out a new home after theirs was over-run by darkness and taint, Arella ended up being the only one from her clan to make it to this new world. Having found herself in a strange land she had never before known, the young Therian was quick to learn that not everything was as it seemed. During a trek through a dark forest, she was struck with a poison arrow shot by an indigenous tribe of necromancers. Arella was saved from death by the young King of a nearby land. Upon disbanding the tribe, the King and his men took Arella back to their land. The king's young sister would not part with Arella, and soon the two became close friends. However, the princess became older and was forced into marriage to conjoin two kingdoms. Her husband seemed an amiable man, but it was his elder cousin that posed a threat. Hungry for the throne, the corrupt cousin had the true heir killed. The would-be queen learned of this plot, and she too suffered the price. But before her death, she sent a letter to her kingdom, a letter which Arella found years later, that told of the truth. Vowing vengeance, Arella wormed her way into the opposing kingdom and tricked the corrupt King into believing her a Seer who had come to aid him in all his conquests. She spent five years at the King's side, carefully planning his uprising. She and those who followed her usurped the king and the dark army he had been forming. She was responsible for the death of many, both human and non. Now that she has seen, for too long, the evil wiles of man, she no longer wishes to be around them. So, she has found the Edict, where she hopes that being around other creatures who seek to rid the world of darkness just as she does will give her a purpose once more.
