This unearthly nature has appeared before in history and is seen as a sign of great ability in the art of enchantment.  Unknown to the Oraldin themselves this is a strong sign they are thoroughly of the fae and not human at all. Although some find it exotic most find it unsettling, to those who do find it uncomfortable rumors of demonic dealings quickly follow.<br/><br/><div align="center"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Personality:</span></strong></div><br/><strong>Age:</strong><br/><br/>Lryera attempts to act her physical age (that of mid thirties) however her ignorance of the real world and her youthful presence shares many traits of a distant late teenager.<br/><br/><strong>Likes:</strong><br/><br/>Lakes and quiet overcast days that have little wind, those talented in the performing arts.<br/><br/><strong>Dislikes:</strong><br/><br/>Sun, misquotes, people who shout and of course anyone believing the rumors of her family.<br/><br/><strong>Phobias:</strong><br/><br/>That the rumor of their family being a bead to demonic influences is true, fear of being burnt at the stake or buried alive (two of the main punishments if found guilty of demonic affiliation)<br/><br/><strong>When it comes to interacting with others I:</strong><br/><br/>Am highly fearful of the likelihood they believe that my family rumors apply to me.<br/><br/><strong>I believe that:</strong><br/><br/>Friendships is only gained by assuming honesty will be returned. Those who are untrustworthy are those who claim to know the nature of others, and claim to be objective. Those that desire good or happiness for you should be ones you should see as family.<br/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_u"><strong> Skills </strong></span></div><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Etiquette</li><li>Literate</li></ul><br/>Although my family is well versed in arcane arts, this doesn't mean I know all runes, for all but a handful, your guess is as good as mine concerning their meaning.<br/><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Horse Riding</li></ul><br/>I know how to keep a horse well groomed and the symptoms of common ailments that plague them, although I don't necessarily know how to heal a horse from such things, I can tell if a horse is fit, well bred and well trained. Although I am a competent rider I doubt my skills are enough to keep my horse focused admits battle, something I hope never to put to the test.<br/><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Magical Enchantments (highly talented)</li></ul><br/>Unlike warlocks or sorceress I do not shoot lightning from my fingertips.  Although I can enchant anything I can't do so speedily and my craft is highly dependent on crystals or gemstones needed to hold the magics permanently in place. Once done however the magic can effect other objects closely or connected to them. Metal can be enchanted but while in its molten state gem dust has to be mixed in its formation, unfortunately this makes most common metals brittle, as such doing so is only feasible with more expensive metals such as those reserved for jewelry. Metals like gold, platinum or mithril are perfect, but not something most have lying about.<br/><br/>Enchantment is done while I sleep, during times I enter a dream state where I visualize magical properties being instilled into objects. Powerful enchantments is best done during full moons or with incense, ideally both. Waking me during these dream traces would entail the enchantment process needing to be repeated, a fact that would frustrate me no end. After enchanting this way the following day will seem very dreamlike to me, making me highly distracted by strange things that normally shouldn't gain my attention. During these times I prefer not to be alone and ideally wish to be about someone that is more alert than I am.<br/><br/><div align="center"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Equipment:</span></strong></div><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>A black riding horse (which I call Teirbone) with saddle, bit bridle, saddle bags, grooming kit and spare horse shoes  (http://www.horsewallpaper.net/preview/Nice_black_horse_with_dark_background.jpg)</li><li> Seven silk gowns of assorted colors  (http://cn1.kaboodle.com/hi/img/2/0/0/56/d/AAAAAgrOAAsAAAAAAFbaUw.jpg?v=1182891873000) </li><li>A black hooded over-robe  (http://www.vampirecostumesrus.com/pimages/small/adult-hooded-cloak-black.jpg)</li><li>A concealed gem pouch holding gemstones of varying types </li><li> Steel traveller's inkwell  (http://images.bidorbuy.co.za/user_images/294/901294_090114115344_IMG_1072.JPG) </li><li> Traveller's quillset  (http://www.ushist.com/img/props/images/am-mg045_pen-quill_set_l.jpg) </li><li> Blank moleskin writing book (http://retrothing.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/leatherbook.jpg)  </li><li>Leather Scroll Case (http://lh3.ggpht.com/_cKGPYqWACjU/SaCB7IKmF8I/AAAAAAAAADc/Ehxd8Hg8hU8/scroll%20case%202.JPG) containing three maps (flora/fauna,political,geological) </li><li>Two sets of soft leather ankle high riding boots with matching riding gloves (http://www.tallulahfashion.com/shoes-10/boots-22/duccio-del-duca-tan-ankle-boots-403-197_medium.jpg) </li><li>Several silk sashes (http://www.getprice.com.au/images/uploadimg/2043/350_ss326-30-item_1.jpg) </li><li>Three water skins  (http://www.bowhunting.net/artman/uploads/wineskin.jpg)  </li><li>Rustic soap-bar and washcloth </li><li>Food and horse-feed to last about a week.  </li><li>Assorted pouches (empty) </li><li>Two small enchanted wooden eggs (see weaponry) </li><li>A steel knife  (http://www.re-action.com/wordpress/wp-content/gallery/ccs-non-project/silver-knife2-sm.jpg) </li></ul><br/>Other than what I am wearing (one gown, my knife, a sash and concealed gem pouch along with a few empty ones), items likely will reside in my saddle saddlebags until needed.<br/><br/><strong>Weapons and Armor:</strong><br/><br/>Other than my knife, I also have two small wooden eggs which I have enchanted to become wooden wrens that can fly and will peck at the soft tissues of any about me who seek me ill-fortune. They will only do so for a matter of minutes before returning to my palm and to resume their wooden egg form. These can be used by anyone however (They will bond with the last person to hold them in their palm for one hour.) but I am in need of them now.  If they are highly damaged they turn to a pile of sawdust making their small sapphire eyes easily extracted which can later be reused for enchantment purposes or simply sold.<br/><br/><strong>I never leave home without:</strong><br/><br/>My gem pouch that holds stones I need for enchanting.<br/><br/><strong>When it comes to money I'm:</strong><br/><br/>Very wealthy, unfortunately not in a practical sense I can exploit without fear. Although I have a pouch full of assorted gems, presenting these gems as payment over coin is very dangerous for it makes me a target of thievery from those correctly believing I have more. Because I don't have talents in fighting, and far from streetwise, bartering or trade exchanges is something I want others to do for me. As far as gems go I would prefer not to part with them for it would be better that I use them for enchanting items that I can later sell for currency that raises less eyebrows.<br/><br/><strong>When I'm scared I:</strong><br/><br/>Run<br/><br/><strong>The thing I want most but would never tell anyone about is:</strong><br/><br/>For lines of enchanters to mix with others so my family isn't considered strange or distrusted<br/><br/><strong>I'm lonely when:</strong><br/><br/>I can't see nature flourishing.<br/><br/><strong>It hurts when:</strong><br/><br/>I think about where others in my family are or what mobs could have done to them.<br/><br/><strong>The things you need to know about my past are:</strong><br/><br/>Oraldin were recent nobility in an honorary sense. Although their family has no blood connections to royalty, Lryera's grandparents where granted knighthood due to services their enchantments provided the ruling elite during times of war. After which the Oraldins were granted holdings of Evergreen Valley that sported three quaint villages that mainly sold dried berries and carpentry goods. The past year however saw all their titles revoked due to allegations their talents were at least somewhat due to demonic influences. This rumor had been in existence for generations which the Oraldin family deemed peasant gossip, but once Earlen Daraksure, a charismatic man which had the ear of high nobility deemed truth would be in the rumor everything changed.<br/><br/>Due to how swift their family was striped from social grace and cast from their lands made previous connections distance themselves from the Oraldins hastily, their closest being most vocal in agreement the decision in fear that own family could be shamed just as quickly. The Earl now resides over the valley as well as his own estates, but what motivated the earl to be interested in Evergreen or their family, trivial by comparison to his own, is an unknown thorn to the Oraldins.<br/><br/><strong>I wish to go to the Shadow because:</strong><br/><br/>When in the world of dreams I feel it calling me, it needs me, or I need it ? I can't tell. The dreams are hard to make out but I always wake with a feeling that I am doing something very wrong by not trying to get there. I don't know why. Perhaps I am insane, but if I am not I fear I will be if I don't at least try.
