History
Eyaf is part of a druidic-shamanic organization called the Arianrhod, as was her mother. The girls dad was a merchant in the city of Acellevin, who abandoned her when she was a kid. Eyafs mother died when she was a teenager, after which Eyaf traveled to the city and stayd with her father for a while. The city-life never suited her though, so as soon as the girl was remotely old enough she returned to the countryside, taking over her moms' household and joining the Arianrhod. Soon after moving in Eyaf adopted a fawn whom she named Oisin. Though she'd always been trying to keep friendly relations to the villagers Eyaf didn't so much befriend them as favour-barter with them, preferring the company of Oisin or other druids. She never got on well with the leader of Arianrhod, but considered the other members to be her friends.
After getting caught sneaking out to observe secret rituals she was promptly cast out, only promised to be taken back if she brings the leader a certain artefact. Armed with nothing but a picture of a mask and the knowledge that everything hinged on this quest she set out, planning to start by crashing at her father's place for supplies and information. (mask to be replaced with any other artefact as befits the setting and roleplay)
Trivia
- She was originally created years ago for Pathfinder and was mashed together from a number of real-life cultures that I found "cool" at the time, from mongolian shamanism to celtic druidism.
- Her last name, Sarangerel, is mongolian in origin.
- Her first name came about because I couldn't figure out how to say any of the other mongolian names I looked up and thought "I might as well name her after that icelandic volcano that no-one can pronounce" :P
- Oisins' name comes from irish and means "little deer". He was named back when he was a knee-high spotted fawn and it's taken on an ironic undertone now that he's grown into a 300kg buck-elk.
Notable belongings
-
A thatch cottage in the woods, 8 miles from the village of Lockinge. Outside it has a well, a small smoke-sauna and an overgrown herb-garden. The cottage itself consists of two rooms (a kitchen/sewing/livingroom on the first floor and a bedroom/storage room on the second), as well as a semi-open stall-like construction which Oisin uses to hide against wind and rain. Though modest on the outside on the inside the place holds three generations worth of quilts, carvings and memorabilia, being very close to Eyafs' heart. The cottage was built by her grandfather, back when her mother was still a child and has been kept in working order mainly by the local villagers, as instead of accepting money for usage of her healing or natural skills she prefers to work on a favors-for-favors system. After all, gold is useless if the thatch roofs need changing, walls need isolating, hay and food needs storing, trees need chopping.
-
Her other notable belongings, that she carries around whilst traveling, include the womans' spear, a white hooded druids robe of a rather fine material, a silver oakleaf brooch, a dagger and a bunch of various herbal mixtures and bandages for stopping bloodflow or relieving pain. She tries to travel light so as not to encumber Oisin too much.

Relationships
Father
He's a merchant on Cobbler Street. Despite a whirlwind romance the man never managed to make a proper relationship work with Eyaf's mother. The two lived in too different worlds, neither being willing to leave theirs behind. He visited Eyaf back when she was a child, but was mostly absent from her life until the girl showed up on his doorstep, aged 13, asking for shelter since her mother had passed away. Even after she moved out she keeps visiting whenever she happens into the ciry. Deryns' current whereabouts are unknown.
Mother
Livdahl was a member of Arianrhod. A strict, stubborn but esteemed druid and healer around the village of Lockinge who died of illness 9 years ago.
Familiar/Mount
Oisin is a 6-year old 300+ kilogram buck elk. He'd been brought in by a kindhearted but not particularily smart villager who'd mistaken him for being abandoned by his mother. Eyaf raised Oisin on goat milk and nowadays considers the bright elk to be her most valued friend.
