[edit] Story Skills History Relationships Rumors Screenshots Artwork Miscellaneous G E N E R A L Liadan Summerfield is a Hearer who serves in the Stillglade Fane. Born and raised in an isolated region of the East Shroud, her ability to Hear was discovered at a late age after an Imperial attack on her home village brought forth a violent Greenwrath in retaliation...one only she survived. Though she was raised by a family even more xenophobic and isolationist than most Gridanians, she has made great strides in abandoning the prejudices she was taught from childhood to take on a more open-minded viewpoint. In this, her beliefs have diverged to a notably different mindset from the typical Gridanian Hearer. Since the events of Crimes Against Nature, Liadan has traveled and explored the world around her, embarking on a pilgrimage that has taken her as far as Hingashi. Her ultimate goal is known only to herself, but when asked, she has said that her purpose is to bring 'the hope of all mankind' to a world that languishes in fear and conflict. Appearance and Other Attributes Liadan is a Midlander of below-average height, standing at a mere 5 fulms, 2 ilms at best in her boots. Her combination of pale skin, rich, dark red hair, and intensely green eyes is often called striking. She is known to have a calm, even-tempered demeanor, even under pressure. Though she did not receive an education until she entered the Stillglade Fane for training, Liadan speaks with a proper Gridanian accent, and is quite literate. Few, if any, have heard her slip into the low drawl from her village days. She wears a variety of clothing, but whatever she wears is generally made for practical purposes. She is not one to show a surplus of skin, nor does she favor overly-intricate decorations. Behavior Liadan is almost insufferably polite, tending to hide her true feelings behind careful platitudes designed to avoid offense. Her smiles tend to be small, and carefully given, her true feelings kept to herself more often than not. But if you get the opportunity to know her better, it soon becomes clear that she is a woman of passionate conviction and deep feelings. When she loves, she loves with her whole heart. Her anger, when sparked, is akin to an inferno. There are passing few things that she hates, but what she does hate, she hates fully.
