Her mother and father were both Lynxes as were all three of the triplets. They lived in a loose co-operation with other inhabitants of the wood but generally the family lived on their own. Her mother was a great musician and her father a grand hunter. Together they taught their children everything they knew. Aleka was the best at tracking and hunting although she could hold her own in musical skill as well. Never would she be as good a musician as either of her siblings though, who went on to become famous in their own right. On the night of becoming an Adult Aleka was given her second name and sent off into the world to make her own way and form her own family although she visits with parents and siblings from time to time.<br/><br/>Not long after she was on her own she decided to dedicate her life to the worship of Pan. When she did she discovered the quartz crystal, and swore to treasure it always.<br/><br/>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Socioeconomic Class/Standing</strong></span><br/><br/>*<strong>Class</strong>: Hunter/Tracker/Instrument Maker<br/><br/>*<strong>Religion</strong>: Pan's Disciple<br/><br/>*<strong>Place of Birth</strong>: The Forests of Europe ( do we need more specific?)<br/><br/>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Inventory</strong></span><br/><br/>*<strong>Weapons</strong>: Generally uses her own hands and claws to fight.
