Ashen Lands

Eriss has a small, freckled face with amber-brown eyes that often look tired and distant. She has wavy chestnut hair that falls just above her shoulders, with soft bangs that partly cover her forehead. She wears a plain white robe, a bit frayed at the edges from travel, and a thin silver holy symbol hangs loosely around her neck.

Quiet and thoughtful, often lost in her own thoughts. She is kind and cares deeply for others, but carries a sense of doubt and sadness from her past. While she still helps those in need, she sometimes questions her own worth. Despite this, she continues to do what feels right.

Eriss once served as a healer in mountain village, devoted to the gods and their teachings. When a deadly plague struck, she did everything she could—magic, medicine, prayers—but it wasn’t enough. Desperate, she begged the gods for help, but they never answered. She was left to face the suffering alone with only her powers. One by one, the people she loved died, and she was left with nothing but the pain of their loss. Now, she wears her holy symbol mostly out of habit. She still heals those in need, but she does so because it feels like the right thing to do. She knows the gods are there, but their silence haunts her. With nothing left in the mountains but painful memories, she traveled to Drakenstone, hoping to find a new purpose. But deep down, she questions if she was ever truly worthy of their help.
