Naomi Renelle

Emotional • Hot-Tempered • Caring

"One of these days, I'm gonna see that smile of yours!"

Naomi is surprisingly friendly for the life she's lived. Just as willing to spare you money as she is to take time out of her day to make you something you need. Due to her childhood, she always asks permission before touching someone for any reason, and is likely to avoid contact herself from people she doesn't know. Eager to make friends, but careful not to overimpose herself. She's also easily excitable into picking up and trying out new hobbies and activities; a tendency that has lead her down bizarre ventures. She has a deep-seeded loathing of the "Gods" of the world, and is prone to removing herself from conversations concerning them.

CHILDHOOD

Born in the small border town of Herban, Naomi grew up alongside her brother Arc under the single parentage of their father. Growing up, the pair never knew their mother and were told that she had died giving birth to Naomi. At first Naomi lived a happy childhood as she and her brother were taught how to handle the forge their father owned. They were happy, and their forge provided well for their needs. However, once Naomi turned 10, things began to change. Their fathers punishments grew more harsh and severe, and more and more minor mistakes began to be sufficient cause for punishments as well. They were withdrawn from the town around them, effectively locked into their home and only allowed minimal contact with others. Alongside the increasingly common beatings, their father began to teach them runecraft. Over the years, Naomi and Arc's bodies began to accrue an unending collection of scars, burns and brandings. Things came to a head a month after Naomi's 16th birthday. Father was particularly drunk, and in a rage caused by Naomi damaging a commission, nearly killed her. In that moment though, magic awoke both in Naomi and in Arc. Without realizing what she was doing Naomi threw the flames of their forge at her father, while Arc found himself sealing his sisters wounds. That night, they packed their things and left.

POST ESCAPE

Within short order Arc signed on with the local gaurd to support himself and his sister. With nothing else to do, she followed suit and joined alongside him. They took well to their training, and soon were well recognized guards in their community. During her time in the guard force, Naomi formed a lot of her the ideals that have since guided her decision making. As her own identity began to take root and flourish away from the violence of her father, Naomi found herself becoming more and more longing for the ability to make decisions for herself. Before long, her chafing with the command structures she worked under lead her to tender her resignation. Just two years after escaping their father, Naomi made the decision to go out and see the world and become the best blacksmith she could be. While her brother remained with the guards of Herban, she prepared herself to go out and see the world.

ADVENTURE BEGINS

Her first destination was the nearby town Ravest, from which she could head out to numerous other cities of her home nation of Arberra. As it happened, she arrived during the King's Festival, and partaking in the festivities she met Beryl and Mordekai. In short order, the three became friends. Suddenly, their bonds were solidified when the three set out to rescue a kidnapped child from local bandits. From there, things spiraled, and they found themselves facing down against a group known as the Ripples. Their first clash against the rebels ended in the tragic death of the mother of Renfir, Naomi's newly found cousin. The three were given provisional liscenses to act in the king's interests against the Ripples, and out they set to stop the heinous acts of the Ripples.
