Name of character: Vasha Heartwood

Nicknames: Vasha of the Wood

Age: 129

Height: 6'9"

Species/Race: Sylvan Elf

Description/Appearance: She has waist length chestnut brown hair and emerald green eyes. She has a dark tan, as if having spent a great deal of time outdoors. Normally she wears a dark brown jerking with forrest green hose and soft kneehigh brwon leather boots. Over all she wears and elvan cloak that seems to blend into her surroundings. She is in good physical shape, although not overly muscular. She carries a satchel over her shoulder.

Background: Vasha was born in the Emerald Forrest, where both her parents were guardians of the Great Tree (or Tree of Life if you prefer). Most of her earlier years were spent learning the ways of the Grove and the world around her. When she was in her 50's, her mother moved on, having grown tired of the mortal realm, and it was not long after that her father followed. It was at that point that the keeper of the Head Keeper of the Grove took her under his care, and shortly therafter he realized that she seemed to have an affinity far beyond even others of her race for nature. And so began her training in the ways of the Druid. She has just left the Grove for the first time, having been overcome with a wanderlust and so has left the Grove to explore the rest of the realms. As she had a fairly secluded upbringing, she tends to be shy around most people.

Ablities/Magicks: Vasha has an exceptional talent with herbs, almost magical, and can use them to heal as well as various other things. She is capable of telepathy, though guarded in it's use, and has the unique ability to diffuse her awareness into the surrounding area and know everthing there is to know aabout it, down to the last blade of grass. The longer she concentrates, the greater the area encompassed. It also allows her to sense the presence of anyone in the area or any unnatural things that may be about. She has a natural talent for music and prefers to play the harp. She can command some magic, but rarely does, preferring to use natural means when possible. She is a master archer and proficient with the quarterstaff. She is also a fletcher, being able to make her own arroows.

Weapons/Items: Carries an ash longbow with a hip quiver. Has a quarterstaff of sun wood, given her by her father. She also has an ancient harp that is inlaid with silver stars, given her by her mother. In addition sh has a satchel containing various herbs and medicines to aid in her healing and magic. Most importantly, to her, she has an acorn from the Great Tree that gives her a link back to it and her homeland, given her by her mentor when she left the Grove.

Nature/Alignment: Generaly neutral, having know no other existence but that of the Grove.

Special Notes: The quarterstaff Vasha carries is harder than the hardest steel and nearly unbreakable. She tends to take things as they come, but really doesn't have much experience of the world at large. She is seeking knowledge and perhaps new ways of magic to eventually take back to the Grove with her.
