Description
The wood-elf before you is a handsome lass. Her pretty face is set with a
dainty button nose, pink heart shaped lips, and striking russet brown eyes
with amber sunbursts surrounding the pupils. She wears her tousled chocolate
brown hair down, it hangs to her shoulders, wind dried and wild. Her skin is
sun kissed and unblemished, a tinge of candid blush graces her cheek when
she smiles. Winya stands at 5'9" and keeps a lean, athletic build. A hint of
hibiscus and coconut scents the air around her.

The Cult of the Last Dream was a bizarre and inconsequential group of deranged
Outlander types. They worshiped Drokalanatym and prayed for a dragon apocalypse
to destroy the societies of Thera. Winya was raised among them on the edge of the
of the Dark Wood. She was afraid of those woods, there was some eerie presence in
that forest, and she was afraid of the cult. Winya's childhood was one of fear and
self-loathing. Her mother was an oddity of a wood-elf, vain but servile towards
those she depended on. She was horrible to the young child, mocking and criticizing
her constantly. She'd often scare Winya with threats of sending her away to live
with cultists that she was afraid of. Her father was weak willed. Winya liked him,
he was friendly, but he abandoned her without saying goodbye. He was too afraid of
being caught leaving, so opted to leave her behind to have an easier time of it.
After he left, her mother clung to any man she could, and she would always lavish
them with affection and make loud unnecessary comments about giving them preference
over her child in all considerations. Winya felt as if she were shrinking away.
The years that followed were nearly joyless for Winya. The only solace in her life
was in befriending the animals of the wood, but the animals unaffected by whatever
darkness was permeating the forest were scarce. Her pets meant the world to her.
Though the pain of losing them tore at her heart, she was always thankful to have
known them. They loved her too and she saw it. One day, Winya was burying a wolf
that she had raised. The devastating pain of loss roiled inside of her, she felt
alone again. Her friend, her protector, was gone. Then she had a shocking but
surprisingly simple realization; she didn't deserve any of this. That nagging voice
in her mind that always told her that she wasn't good enough, that was her mother's
voice and if she let it fester, she would make it her own.

Clinging to a piece of fallen timber, Winya escaped into the thrashing waters of
the Khalid River. She lost consciousness and woke up on the Hamsah docks surrounded
by concerned gypsies. They took in the young wood-elf and taught her all they knew
about the world. Winya loved living among them but still she was withdrawn, never
wanting to call attention to herself due to the echoes of her mother's criticism.
She made a pittance collecting bait along the shore and selling it to the crews of
docking boats. As she got older, and with the encouragement of the gypsies, Winya
became more confident. She made connections with many sailors and eventually she
was offered a position aboard the Jade Kiss. She sailed with the jade elves for many
years, the youngest among their crew. Life at sea agreed with Winya, but now she's
moving on once more taking the nickname her crew had bestowed upon her, Aire'Roa, as
her surname in their honor. Making port in Hamsah, she left the city and made camp
in the woods to the west, among the druids and naturalists of the Holy Grove. She's
joined the Ranger's Guild to learn the skills necessary to explore the world and
find a dream of her own to pursue for the first time in her life.
The dreariness of her childhood leaves Winya with a powerful need to see new places
and experience new things. Winya's appreciation for Thera is vast, her five senses
take in the world and reveal it to be a more wondrous place than she ever imagined.
She wishes to share these marvels with those she loves. Her beloved pets and the
friends she made saved her from hopelessness. Winya also places a large importance
on the sacred duty of rearing young. She tries to help those in need or without
direction. Beauty, love, and fertility guide her efforts.
