Detailed History

Born in a village in the Golmore Jungle, Rael spent her youth in the reaches of the treetops and mountain summit that shadowed the area around her home and its neighboring cities (Dalmasca, Nagxia, the Steppe, etc.). As part of a blended village composed of both Rava and Veena Viera, Hrothgar, Seeker of the Sun Miqo'tes, and some nomadic Au Ra of both Raen and Xaela blood, she was exposed early on to the presence of the other races. Hyur (Doman & Dalmascan) Traders and Merchants sometimes ventured in and Rael took advantage of their presence by asking them many questions and seeking stories of the world outside of the forest.Though curious she took on the job of Huntress and Guardian, which saw her patrolling deeply through the Jungles and Mountains to make sure that none would harm the village or those within. Much like others she lived her life in peace, and it wasn’t until some hundreds of years later in 1517 when Nhalmasque was conquered by the emerging Garlean Empire that she and others began to sense change in the world around them. As Ilsbard fell to the Magitek of the Empire the Jungles and Mountains grew more a refuge; the Woodwarders found themselves often embattled with these bizarre devices.Well into adulthood during a time of conflict she observed the Garlean Empire's siege on the lands that would eventually become its Pronvinces (Valnain, Werlyt, Terncliff, Bozja, etc.) and how the began to gain closer and closer steps towards Dalmasca and the Mountains. Opting to take the fight beyond the Woods she took on a heavier education that began to include foreign martial skills of places such as Ala Mhigo, mechanical and aetherical studies to rival a Sharlayan, and even magitek through Garlean deserters. With renewed vigor she joined the Dalmascan Resistance as a Mercenary and quickly assimilated into campaigns in other Provinces.Years and months of the brutal conflict passed as Garlemald's Forces pushed into Dalmasca and the Jungle; but Rael was taken captive as a Prisoner of War during the latter years of the campaign and resistance fighting. Held in torturous conditions and assaulted brutally by the Garlean Soldiers and Commanders who held her- she managed to break free during a Prisoner Exchange. The exchange ended with the Garleans being slaughtered and all the prisoners retreating to freedom. With the Forest and Mountains becoming more and more dangerous, a number of individuals fled or were moved to more furtive areas as a means to secure the villages.Haunted by her memories of what was done in the Garlean Conflict, she continued to assist with other and additional Resistance Forces (Ala Mhigo, Doma, Nagxia, Bozja, etc.) to continue to push back until the point of the Empire's Fall.With peace slowly returning, after the end of the Garlean Conflict, the breaking of the Final Days, and the all around chaos wrought by the World itself- Rael and her scarred self settled into the world with a sigh and a hope that she could finally heal and rest.

1. Rael interacted with a lot of people in Nagxia, the Steppe, the Skatay Mountains, and Dalmasca. Someone may have met her on her initial travels or during the defense of the area etc.2. She served in the Garlean Resistance for Ala Mhigo and Doma as a Soldier of the Immortal Flames and as one of the many Warriors of Light who rose to the field. Often referred by her allies as, "The Warhawk of Dalmasca", she typically was seen engaging front combat and enemy overrun areas while remaining highly mobile and combat capable.3. Surviving Garleans and a few Resistance members may recall her with a particular fear, anger, disdain etc. as Rael was rumored to have been responsible for the deaths of civilian Garleans and Prisoners of War.4. She drinks to forget, she parties to pretend she's okay, and she takes partners for a night or more to quell the stress she feels... or just to occupy a few mindless moments. Taverns, bars, etc. can host her.5. Due to her occasional need to relieve the anger she has, she spars often and has been known to keep consistent sparring partners. This also means she teaches students who want to learn to fight... only sometimes.6. Since retiring from her Mercenary life she sometimes pokes around Ruins and various old areas looking for secrets or generally perusing to explore the past of the places she'd never been. Finding her on a journey isn't the worst way to meet and greet?
