Background/History:Ezra, being a Noble, was born with everything. But not every Noble is fine with that. Her parents of course just wanted what was best for her, and that meant spending a considerable portion of their wealth on her. But Ezra was different...different than all the other Noble children who reveled in the privilege they were born into. She felt from an early age that she should earn everything she had. Her parents repeatedly emphasized to her that she didn't HAVE to as she was a Noble and thus guaranteed a cushy life. When she protested, they would gently remind her that going out and trying to earn things would not only be impossible (as she would be given things by the local populace, for she was a Noble), but also dangerous (because life outside of an all-expenses-paid indefinite vacation has actual dangers to surmount). Reluctantly, she would resign herself to her exalted existence and get on with her life. But as she grew older, it was more difficult to get her to relent due to puberty, more time passed, and more knowledge gained. Ezra would read books constantly, trying to learn everything she could about the world outside and why she was given everything when so many were given nothing. When she could never find anything, it troubled her more and more, and soon she began sneaking out to try to either work for things or give things she was given to less fortunate people. She was caught once early on, and that experience was enough motivation for her to get so good at flying under the radar that she never got caught again. She became crafty, having to think of reasons to tell the butler why she didn't need food when everyone else did. Eventually she went off to Saint Valerius Academy to continue her education. She was home free from the tyranny of her status...or so she thought.
She quickly discovered that the academy was just as coddling to Nobles as her parents were...and she now even had her own personal bodyguard?! Needless to say she remained uncomfortable with her surroundings, but soon gained a more positive outlook. With her parents no longer watching over her, she did have more personal freedom day to day, so she turned her education into a challenge. How many people could she help while remaining under the radar? It turned out not many, but through her actions around the campus (that nobody seemed to be able to witness firsthand) she became somewhat of a legend. Everyone in the academy really liked her, but couldn't really explain why and half the time didn't even remember she existed because she stayed hidden so much, performing random acts of kindness behind the scenes to people both in and out of the academy.
Personality:Despite being a Noble,
Ezra exists to help others, particularly those less privileged than her. She's learned to live with her status and to use it for good, and that's what she spends most of her day doing when not in classes. She is polite and courteous and loves following the rules, but is simultaneously always looking for ways to break them in ways that somehow help other people. She doesn't offend and her soft voice is welcome to everyone, but some wonder if this town really needs a Robin Hood.
