Throwing my hat in as a party member for one of the heroes! Her intent is to not stick with any one hero (though that might just end up happening anyways due to reasons within the RP). A simple TL;DR, Auriel grew up with the belief that she was meant to assist the heroes, and has trained for just that purpose.

It was decided at her birth that she would be trained in order to one day assist the cardinal heroes, taking the fact that she was born with angelic wings as a holy omen of the heroes' need to be summoned. Her mother was a human who arrived to the monastery before she realized she was pregnant with Auriel. Auriel never knew her father, but from what her mother told her, he was a brave knight. Given how the world treated demi-humans, Auriel's mother chose to keep the father's demi-human identity a secret from Auriel and the church. This was why the church saw Auriel's wings as divinely significant, and it was also what allowed Auriel to take to her destiny as well as she did. She endeavored to surpass her instructors so that, should the time ever come, she could be of use to the heroes. All throughout her younger years, Auriel was told to never trust the Shield Hero. However, despite the teachings and attempted indoctrination of the church's conviction, Auriel remained true to the journals of her predecessors which told her to remain true to all of the cardinal heroes. Auriel would go through her lessons, saying what her instructors wanted to hear whenever the topic of the Shield Hero came up so she wouldn't have to deal with the chastisement. Well into her teenage years, when the world began to be plagued by occasional waves of demonic forces, did Auriel know that the possibility of her purpose to be fulfilled was coming to pass. She tried to convince to the kingdoms that the time to summon the heroes was now, but the kings and other leaders of the nations preferred to fend for themselves, saying that the summoning of the heroes would only happen if the waves became too much to handle. For years, the waves were few and far between, and the unholy creatures that spilled from them were weak and easily managed. Auriel would not sit idly by, locked away in a monastery, and not fight the small waves. She had been training her whole life to battle these foes. Even when the monastery wouldn't let her leave, Auriel would fly from a window and meet the waves head on. Her training helped immensely, and she quickly became an even more experienced fighter as she did battle. Soon her reputation as the kingdom's guardian angel spread. But her reputation and fighting ability only served to work against her true desire, as the kingdoms believed that with her around, they wouldn't need the heroes. Auriel would once again become very outspoken about summoning the heroes, that she was only one person and the waves would eventually become strong enough that she wouldn't be strong enough to stop them. She might have been capable, but she was no cardinal hero after all. In one particular skirmish, the incursion was far greater than Auriel had anticipated. Auriel was one of the first to meet the enemy in the field of battle, and one of the first to fall to the surprise. Soldiers managed to reach her and get her out of the battle, but she was too injured to fight. The holy magic that surrounded her would need time to heal her injuries, and there was no telling when she would be healthy enough to fight again. It had been months since that battle, but Auriel is once again fit to travel the land. Her injuries had left her bedridden, and she is now a shadow of her past self. She would need to raise her strength again for when the first true wave comes. Luckily, her defeat on the field of battle, and destruction that ensued from the last demonic incursion, was enough to galvanize both the people, and the government to finally summon the heroes. Auriel is making sure that she is there to attend the summoning ceremony and finally fulfill her destiny. --- [color=LightGoldenrodYellow][b]Preferred Weapon[/b][/color] Spear [hider=Weapon Appearance] [img]https://gbf.wiki/images/thumb/2/20/Weapon_b_1010200600.png/462px-Weapon_b_1010200600.png[/img] [/hider] [color=LightGoldenrodYellow][b]Abilities of Weapon[/b][/color] The spear is imbued with holy magic, making is more effective against undead and unholy creatures. --- [color=LightGoldenrodYellow][b]Skills/Abilities[/b][/color] [hider=PASSIVE: Divine Touch] Any sort of physical, skin on skin contact provides healing and energizing.
