The family moved there not long after the founding of the town and fell quickly and quietly into a comfortable routine, as halflings often do. They became farmers. They never owned the largest plot of land, nor the most numerous livestock. But their consistent work ethic has helped keep them happy and comfortable for many years. Having a nice little corner of their farm devoted to growing some of the finest of halfling tobacco in the region certainly didn't hurt their standing at all and made them well-liked with the traders. Yes for years and years, like clockwork, the farm had been passed down the line to the eldest child.<br/><br/>Until Allia was born. The eldest child of Ashton and Matilda, the current heads of the Riverrunner household will not be the next owner of the Riverrunner farmstead. She never had an aptitude or interest in the farm work, she wasn't interested in how to milk the goats or irrigate the fields. She simply wanted to read. And seeing as she was either easily distracted from her jobs about the farm or simply terrible at them, her family saw little other options than to let her do what she wanted. So Allia read to her heart's content. This leads her to a fascination with magic and adventure. When she was 16 her family demanded that if she wasn't going to work about the farm she'd have to find some other job, they couldn't let her lay about the home forever after all. She eventually got herself a job at Ianwor’s Assortment of Arcane Curiosities, working there as a shopkeep and helping keep everything organized. she made an arrangement with the owner, taking a rather sizeable cut in her pay for access to books from time to time. From there she began to teach herself the basics of wizardry. She still spends a great deal of what money she does make on trashy adventure and romance books, but her family is happy that she is happy and holding down a job. Little do they know how much she dreams of setting out from their quiet town to go on a grand adventure like the ones in her books.<br/><br/>Allia had always stuck out like a thumb from her family members. The rest were quite short and stout, all dark tanned skin from their time working outside. She was pale and fair from always being indoors with her nose in a book. not only that but she was unusually tall for her people, standing at an astounding 3'8'', and while curvy as any of her family members her limbs were more slender and willowy. The family joke was that if she ate a bit more or did some more hard work about the farm to build up some muscle like the rest of them, she'd pass for a dwarf.  Allia despite having a relatively keen mind, is a little on the gullible side, at some point in all of her reading fantasy and facts got a little mixed up. Perhaps its just her kind and trusting halfling nature mixed in with her romantic heart yearning for adventure or someone to whisk her off her feet in fiery fit of passion.<br/><br/>————————<br/><br/>Good day all, meet my late entry halfling. I hope she’s up to everyone’s liking.
