#Sylvaine Lethariel (Aka. Forest Sentinel) Summary: An elven sentinel who lost the forest she swore to protect. She left her corrupted home and drifted into human society. Trait: Zephyr Lv. 3 (Gains Gale on attack) ##Biography Long before humans built cities in those regions, there existed an ancient forest known to the elves as Elar'Theryn, the Forest of Eternal Whispers. It was a place where nature and magic coexisted in perfect harmony. Spirits walked among the roots. The seasons followed ancient rhythms. And the Sentinels watched over them so that nothing would disturb that balance. Sylvaine was born among those trees. Like many of her people, she never imagined a life outside the forest. From a young age, she demonstrated an exceptional talent for tracking and combat. While others learned ancient songs and spiritual traditions, she preferred to traverse hidden paths, climb the highest treetops, and explore forbidden territories. She was swift. Impulsive. Curious. And braver than was prudent. For this reason, she was recruited among the Sentinels. The guardians charged with protecting Elar'Theryn from external threats. Sylvaine accepted the duty with pride. She believed she would serve for centuries. She believed the forest would always exist. She believed some things were eternal. She was wrong. The corruption came slowly. At first, there were small changes. Animals acting strangely. Trees sickening for no reason. Spirits beginning to disappear. Then came the disappearances. The mutations. The madness. And finally, death. The elders tried to stop it. The druids sought answers. The Sentinels fought against what rose from the depths of the forest. Nothing worked. The corruption continued to spread. For years Sylvaine fought an impossible war. She watched friends she'd known for decades fall. She saw sacred creatures transform into monsters. She saw places she thought eternal become graveyards. And yet she kept fighting. Because the Sentinels never abandoned their posts. Until the day came when he received an order he never thought he'd hear. Retreat. No victory. No resistance. Retreat. The forest was lost. Sylvaine was one of the last to leave. The last time she saw Elar'Theryn, the sky was shrouded in a dark mist and the trees seemed to writhe under an impossible sickness. That image would haunt her for the rest of her life. No forest. No mission. No home. She ended up traveling to the human lands. At first, he considered them strange. Noisy. Impatient. Ridiculously ephemeral. But she also discovered something unexpected. Humans kept going despite the endless winter. They lost homes. They lost kingdoms. They lost loved ones. And yet they found the strength to carry on. It was a quality she began to admire. Over the years, she became an explorer, a guide, and a hunter. She traveled forgotten paths. She learned foreign languages. She encountered cultures she had once despised. And little by little, she began to build a new life. It didn't replace the old one. Nothing could. But it was enough to keep her moving forward.
