Helli Aliosh is a Tiefling light domain cleric from Breme.
Physical Appearance
Helli is not a very tall (168cm) Tiefling and the years of excessive fasting in the Northern cold winters have left her very thin. Her skin color is a deep wine red, her eyes entirely black. She is a medium size tiefling, around 5'6'', dark red color, with black eyes. 22 years old.Her black hair is usually up on a tiny bun high on her neck. She smiles often, revealing a chipped tooth at the bottom. Her horns adorn the side of her forehead. They are black, curve upwards, then backwards and since leaving home, she pierced the left one with a golden hoop earring, like those that her aunt Trina wears sometimes.
Helli wears chainmail armor, carries a sword and an unadorned shield. She always meant to draw something on it, but could not decide on a design. Her symbol of faith is a simple golden star, which is rarely seen in public.
Personality
Everyone who meets Helli for the first time is greeting with an impassionate monologue about the virtues and grace of the God of light and life, Pelor. When this is over, she smiles a lot and often, shows interest in all tales of adventure and life outside a coven and icy places.
However, it is still hard for her to trust people and share a lot of information about her past. She can be a good and loving friend, even though she gets into mother hen mode around them. Oh, and she always talks about her aunt Trina, the Obsidian Dragon Knight, getting offended if no one knows her.
History
Helli was born in 868 PR in Breme. She is the second born daughter of Tenor and Emaryn Aliosh, the fifth grandchild of Heili and Amal Aliosh. Of course, Helli had never met her grandmother Heili, but she grew up hearing all the details of how her faithless aunt Trina cruelly murdered that excellent woman. Her father, Tenor, had been excited to see that his youngest daughter had a flair for healing like his own mother did. She had been a late addition to the family and after all the cousins and elder sister having a strong affinity for serving the paladin orders, the elders worried that there would be no one to pick up the healing of the continent's people. They served the God of light and life, after all. In fact, Tenor had named her after his mother as a plea for getting a cleric of Pelor in their midst again.
Growing up she had been a shy child but polite child. Helli spend a big chunk of her time fasting, praying, healing and training with her older sister and cousins. Due to the fact that she was the youngest by many years and the desired cleric in the family, she was well loved, coddled and a tiny bit overprotected. All her cousins and sister were already young adults by the time she was a young child, but with not children of their own yet, so she grew up lacking friends. That did not deter her, she found company in her books, faith and her cat, Pill. She always found herself daydreaming of other people and unexplored places, when she was not studying, praying or training. Her favorite place to do so was at the back of their small chapel, overlooking the snowy hill tops and observing the light reflecting on the snow. The sparkle like diamond effect that it created is still her favorite nature detail and one of the fondest memory from childhood that she has.
Helli grew up with tales of her grandmother Heili by both her father and grandfather. Amal, especially, would comment often that Helli looked like an incarnated version of his long dead wife. The tiefling had been very old when Helli was born and it seemed that he survived till that age out of spite. Amal did his best to survive a few years longer and spend time with the wonder of a grandkid. He spend long hours regaling her with stories about their ancestors, his wife and even a few nicer memories of a wild little Trina. Those were never told in the earshot of his son, who absolutely hated Trina for killing their mother and running away. Amal still held some piece of love of his daughter, which was returned. Amal died when Helli was 4 years old. She barely remembers the funeral they held, but she does remember a beautifully dressed older tiefling woman coming over a few weeks later to weep at his grave. Helli got only a glimpse of the Obsidian Dragon Knight, but it was enough to know it was her.
Since then, she grew obsessed with figuring out more about her aunt. As she grew older, she could tell from the subtext that her grandmother was not as grant as everyone claimed her to be. Yes, she was a devout cleric, a strong leader of their family, but also she lacked empathy for those who did not follow her wishes as she wanted. Everyone had a darker story about the long dead tiefling, a story that when you thought of it a bit longer, you could tell that it was not alright. When Helli was 10 years old, she decided that she does not want to be her grandmother, despite of what everyone else wished for her.
Learning more about Trina proved to be easier than she expected. Tales of the court of Sardior and the one who waits had reached their corner of their world. She was not sure what was fantasy and what was real, but she held on every bit of adventure that reached her. The adventurous she heard daily fed her daydreaming.
