Athel'min Backstory!

TW: Sick parent, bodily mutilation, loss of a limb

Raised in the Heartmoor Hamlet of the Oderan Wilds in Marquet, Lorra’min Ashland was told to keep quiet and stay put within the city’s walls, never to leave outside, lest they be killed. Her mother - Amnestria - was a single parent, having raised Lorra’min on her own after their father walked out when they were young. She was also a worshipper of the Changebringer, having gained slight healing and medicinal abilities from her worship. She was deeply overprotective of her only child, in spite of Lorra’min choosing to run and play in the Oderan Wilds with her friends.

However, one day while playing around the Heartmoor just outside the Heartmoor Hamlet, the group were attacked by - what Lorra’min assumed was - a troll. Whilst the group managed to run, Lorra’min, whose only weapon was a wooden toy bow and arrow, chose to stay back and try to distract the creature so it wouldn’t target the Hamlet proper, knowing it could destroy the town. That was the wrong decision, as the creature took the bow and arrow out of Lorra’min’s hands, forcing her to the floor. It would then grab her right arm and tear it off, leaving a mess of blood and bone behind.

Lorra’min’s friends, having witnessed the attack, returned her to the Hamlet, with her, where their mother had been informed of the attack. Amenestria was horrified, but stunned by her daughter’s bravery, healing her arm with the blessing of the Changebringer. Unfortunately, she couldn’t bring Lorra’min’s arm back. Still in shock and pain, Lorra’min retreated into herself, not wanting to draw attention to the missing limb. Eventually, a passing through Artificer had created a prosthetic limb, which was used to replace Lorra’min’s real one.

At the behest of one of her friends who witnessed the attack, Lorra’min began to train herself in archery - first using the wooden bow and arrow she had used that night, then switching to a proper bow and arrow. On the eve of her naming ceremony, she chose the name Athel’min, from the elvish word meaning ‘bow’.

However, after years of being protected by her mother, Athel’min would have to protect her. Amnestria came down with a sickness, that slowly began to take away her body and mind. She had almost become a husk of her former self. The only way to cure it was with healing magic and diamonds, and Athel’min needed the money for that, which they lacked. Eventually, she entered the city of Jrusar, finding a post for a mercenary for hire. While she lacked the experience, she made good with her client and began getting to work as a sellsword.

That experience with sellswording brought in coin, as well as ways to rebuild her arm, and to get medicine for their ailing mother. It later would spiral into Athel’min meeting Lord Robert Sharpe, a member of the Revelry, who wished for her to track down a Tiefling girl who humiliated him… And kill her. Athel’min, unsure of why he would wish for a young woman to be killed for no reason, took the job in order to get some more money.

However, upon meeting the girl - Jester Lavorre - Athel’min was surprised that someone that sweet would have a bounty on her head. Whilst the money was good, murdering a woman for no reason was not what Athel’min wanted to get that money. She chose to join Jester instead, acting as a bodyguard. They would later meet Fjord Stone and Beauregard Lionette, and the rest, as they say, is history.

taking the color character uquiz for my ocs!

amber - grey/black

you are intense, cool, pragmatic, and incredibly streetwise. you follow your convictions through and are great in a crisis. you are able to get what you want and protect others easily. just remember that letting your emotions take control doesn't make you weak, it only increases what you can do.

skye - pink

you are kind, sweet, and so so so very loving. you may have a very feminine energy and you can often tell what those around you are thinking and feeling. empathy is your superpower and your caring nature brings comfort to everyone around you. don't forget to extend that kindness to yourself, and let people in your life who are going to make it better, not worse.

athel'min - grey/black

you are intense, cool, pragmatic, and incredibly streetwise. you follow your convictions through and are great in a crisis. you are able to get what you want and protect others easily. just remember that letting your emotions take control doesn't make you weak, it only increases what you can do

tina - yellow

you are really just a bundle of sunshine aren't you? your joy and spirit brighten up every room you walk into, and your kindness inspires everyone who knows you. you may come off as naive, but you know exactly what you're doing and how to help those you care about. remember to let others help you from time to time, your selfless nature is powerful, but may hurt you if you can't accept help.

madoka - purple

you are mysterious, wise beyond your years, and deeply tuned into yourself. you have a strong sense of purpose, and are great at using your instincts to make the world a better place. try not to take yourself so seriously if you can, you deserve to reap the benefits of all your hard work.

Wyll and Athel'min + 2, 16, 23, and 44

2. What would they do if the other woke in a manic state after a nightmare?

Athel'min immediately rushes to Wyll's aid upon hearing him shout out in the middle of the night. His nightmares only get worse after Moonrise Towers, and Athel'min comforts him to the best of her ability. Lots of hugging, lots of trying to keep him focused and grounded. As for Wyll, he tries to keep his distance - makes sure to keep Athel'min covered in blankets and other cozy items to keep them warm, because they're shaking like a leaf some nights. He also tries to talk to them!

16. Can they stay up all night just talking?

I can't find the exact quote from Lae'zel but she mentions when she tries to sleep with Wyll at the Tiefling Party that he just wanted to 'talk' and she doesn't know how to respond to that, so I can imagine that Wyll does a lot of talking while Athel'min does a lot of listening!

23. Who’s more likely to convince the other to stay in bed come morning?

Athel'min! Some days Wyll is up at the break of dawn ready for adventure - after Mizora cursed him with his devil form, he felt guilty not wanting to go with Athel'min and the rest of the party to the goblin camp, but Athel'min managed to convince him to stay in bed and keep an eye out on his mental health

44. Who would dance in the kitchen making dinner? Would the other join in or watch from the doorway?

Wyll! Athel'min would try to join in, but she trips over her feet a lot and is worried about breaking devices :')

[brokenhardies]

dont mind me - just blessing your dash with athel'min

[brokenhardies]

athel'min, who's arm was ripped off by an owlbear, seeing the owlbear cub being used as entertainment for the goblins:

[brokenhardies]

gah okay okay okay im coming up with my backstory for my dnd character athel'min ashland (who i commonly use as a character for all ttrpgs bc i love her so much) and i adore my new backstory for her - basically her tribe of wood elves are involved in something known as the 'hunt' which is basically the wild hunt from several norse, scandinavian and celtic mythologies, which is basically spiriting away specific people to the feywild
