Appearance

Aran'sae has slate-colored dark skin that contrasts with his bright white and blue hair. He has very soft features, especially his eyes, which are heterochromatic. His tail is long and thin, a trait he shares with his mother. His time spent in meditation has roughed up his appearance a tad; he has long tufts of hair sticking out from the tips of his ears. Like both of his parents, he is fairly short.

History

Aran'sae was born with the latent capability to hear the elementals. As he grew, his parents oft spoke of their youngest son's hearing of strange voices and sounds to passing Gridanians in the Shroud. Word gradually traveled to Stillglade Fane, and a conjurer was sent to investigate. His family, with heavy hearts, allowed him to be taken back to Gridania to train among the nature worshipers. He felt welcomed; oddly at ease with the other conjurers, and worked hard for his new kin. He eventually earned the title of Hearer a few years before the Seventh Umbral Era.

Personality

Aran'sae tends to take everything seriously. Mayhap a bit too seriously. To the point of hilarity, often.

Personal Quotes

• "My father used to tell me a story... Every star is the tip of one of Menphina's beautiful locks of hair. They spread across the entire sky, and she puts her hair up when she goes back to sleep."
• "I felt like Menphina had forsook me -- love was hard to find. I found solace in Nophica's embrace, that nature may comfort me in ways people never could."
