History

Avila is was born into her ancestral homeland of Ala Mhigo, and only a child when it fell. Her father was a Monk of their nations military, known to be the elite of the military might. Her mother was an honest House Wife, who chose to stay at home and raise Avila and her two brothers. When the Empire invaded Al Mhigo, her father stayed behind to fight off the invaders and give his family a chance to flee. As Avila was just a toddler, she only has vague memories of that day. While her mother was fleeing, they ended up running into one of the Empire's invading parties. To protect his family and follow in his fathers footsteps, the other brothers chose to fight against the Empire, giving Avila and her mother another chance to escape. The two brothers dissapeared from their sights, either captured, killed or survived, she does not know. Her mother escaped to Thanalan with the rest of the refugee's and attempted to scrape a living off the stone of Ul'dah.

Her mother found work in a local tavern as a personal dancer, and was able to earn the coin to survive. Eventually however, her mother was deemed too old to work and lost her job. She moved to little Ala Mhigo with the rest of her kinsmen and by now Avila was old enough to think for herself. Living in poverty and strife, she was determined to not end up in poverty like her mother, but wanted to provide for her instead. Perhaps meet a wealthy Captain or man of the city whom she can provide strong children for. Her mother on the other hand, wanted her to be traditional and wed into her own people, as they were practically a dying race now. Growing up she wanted to follow in her fathers footsteps, but lacked both the mentor and training to do it.

When she was fourteen she left the safety of her mother's grasp and began work in the city as a dancer. Deciding she need a method of defending herself should things with customers go awry, and wanting to make something out of herself, she joined the Pugilists guild and when not working, trains there. She is however, reaching her late twenties and is soon losing her job to the younger models. So now, she seeks to find work in whatever form she can. Despite all this, she remains standing with a positive outlook on life, counting her blessings for being able to survive despite the fall of her hometown. Even though proud of her Ala Mhigan heritage, she considers herself of Ul'dah, before most.
