Biography
Character Name: Zephyr
Character Level: 3
Race: Air Genasi
Gender: Female
Alignment: Chaotic neutral
Deity: Akadi
Size: Medium
Hair: Light grey/white
Eyes: Dark grey
Height: 5'3"
Weight: 105lbs
Age: 21
Appearance: Zephyr wears a simple white dress with a cut from the top of the thigh down to the bottom of the dress on either side to make movement easier; underneath which she wears a simple pair of slightly greyed trousers and a simple, matching greyed bodice and hood. She carries on her a long quarterstaff for combat. Her skin is a light grey/blue colour, and, due to being an air Genasi, when she speaks her voice is extremely airy, and accompanying her is a very gentle breeze.
History: During her first few years she remained in the Earthspur mountains, with Genasi only leaving the mountain every few months to get supplies that were hard to acquire on mountain tops. At the age of 17 she encountered death for the first time in front of her, seeing one of the older Genasi slowly pass away in front of her, leaving her with a fascination into how death worked and most importantly, how to avoid it.
She chose to leave the sanctuary of the mountains and began travelling, asking around for clerics, scholars, anyone who could explain to her the nature of death and what happened after one died. She found nothing, herbal medicines, explanations of how death was natural, and introductions to many Gods who could potentially alleviate the worry after one died.
She eventually found herself arriving at a monk training camp after she was pointed in the direction by a friendly gnome who'd heard of a group of people who spent their lives avoiding death and upon arrival she found what he'd said to be true. She was accepted into the camp due to her interest in the Way of the Long Death and was placed under the tutelage of a fire Genasi named Empyrean who was a few years her senior. The two of them found themselves becoming very close to each other over the duration of her training with them, but she was still largely unsatisfied. Her fascination had manifested itself into a fear and she knew that in order to avoid death she'd have to become more experienced; a problem she often expressed annoyance to Empyrean with when she was given more menial tasks due to her novice abilities. She chose to leave in the dead of the night, much to the betrayal and grief of Empyrean and vowed not to return to him until she found herself above death the same way he was.
Personality: Zephyr comes across as extremely light-hearted and jovial, often partaking in light 'banter' and poking fun at those around her. She sees a lot of what she's doing as an adventure, but also her mission in life - and fails to see the potential redundancy in spending one's life trying to avoid death. She finds herself picking up bad habits in terms of her health very easily, drinking in excess in the name of a 'fun night out' and refuses to acknowledge to herself the potential affect on her longevity it could have. Simply she can be very hypocritical and unempathetic demonstrated in her abandonment of Empyrean.
I begin or end my day with small traditional rituals that are unfamiliar to those around me.
Sarcasm and insults are my weapons of choice.
Adventure. I’m far from home, and everything is strange and wonderful!
I’m fascinated by the beauty and wonder of this new land.
I have a weakness for the new intoxicants and other pleasures of this land.

Background
Far traveller - Feature: All Eyes on You
Your accent, mannerisms, figures of speech, and perhaps even your appearance all mark you as foreign. Curious glances are directed your way wherever you go, which can be a nuisance, but you also gain the friendly interest of scholars and others intrigued by far-off lands, to say nothing of everyday folk who are eager to hear stories of your homeland.
You can parley this attention into access to people and places you might not otherwise have, for you and your traveling companions. Noble lords, scholars, and merchant princes, to name a few, might be interested in hearing about your distant homeland and people.
