Character Backstory
Aurora was the daughter of Thomas and Emily Everheart, who were simple farmers. Aurora was born in their barn and had a happy childhood until she was six years. She felt like she was being watched all the time and became too scared to go outside. This went on for 2 years. Her parents eventually persuaded her to go on a walk and were heading home around early dusk. Loud growls and strange languages (which she later learned to be Infernal) were heard around them and they began to run. During this run she somehow ended up separated from her parents before hearing a horrible scream. She followed it to find her mother dead. There was no blood or scars or any signs of reason but she was dead. A look of terror permanently etched into her mother's face. Her father was no where to be seen and would not answer her calls. She made her own way home and into the nearest town to get guards. It was never discovered what killed her mother or what had happened to her father.
Aurora went to live with Elora and Samson Everheart, her grandparents (father's side). She still felt haunted by something but people assumed it to be just grief. Aurora was less afraid and was simply angry at whatever it was that stalked her since it seemed it was what took her parents. She was determined to live her life and continued to have a happy childhood. She learned about the language she heard whenever she could. When she was 17 her best friend was murdered - throat slashes and heart removed. The culprit was never found but there were marks on the body in that same Infernal language. Aurora began to investigate this herself and learned of a wizard that had studied demons and fiends. He refused to help her. She broke into his place and took his research and basic tome of magic. He reported theft to the guards and gave them her name but she hid these items well and so was not convicted. It turns out he did not know much but it was enough to refine her understanding of the Infernal language and she even managed to learn a little bit of magic. There were even some rituals that could help keep some demons and fiends away. They were simple and would not stop such things attacking but could make it more difficult for such things to stalk her. They seemed to work and so she performs these everyday. She left her grandparents and the town, wandering the lands, in order to keep her loved ones safe from whatever it was following her and to maybe find out what it is and why it was doing this.
When she was 20, she noticed the destruction of forests and woodlands around her. She found herself upset by this and sought ways to stop it. She eventually discovered some Druids who agreed to accept her. She was with them for 7 years helping them to save the forests before she felt it necessary to move on, find adventure, and hopefully find a way to properly stop what forces followed her.
