Background:
Avae is the fruit of a small romance between an elven wizard and a human ranger women. The elf had requested the company of the ArcaneArrows to escort him from Suzail to the shadowdale. While travelling, Emeria felt for the elven scolar, and he was not obliviate of the stongwilled and charismatic ranger. They're story lasted as long as the trip, and they parted in good term. Keeping found memory of each other, happy with the sharing and the connection they'd made, but not wanting anything more strong. They both were free spirits.
It's only 3 weeks later that Emeria became a bit upset, her period hadn't came, but as many women adventurers, she was not that regular so she didn't think too much of it. But 2 weeks later, she still didn't had them, and she could feel some strangeness in her own body. 1 more weeks, and she started being sick morning and evenings. There was not much more possibilities for her. They were back to Suzail, and she couldn't continue her adventuring ways, but she still thought back of the elf with whom she had been. He had to know. So she conviced her company, which she founded with her brother, to help her find him. They were all skilled archers, they all were being quite good with blending in their suroundings and mostly really deadly with a bow.and two of them were also new a bit of magic. The company was formed of the two siblins, the founder. Emeria who was the leader and the most skilled with a bow. Then there was her brother, he was quite skilled with locks and hiding, but he also had a knack with magic. Then came his lover, a nice bardess. They brough along one of their cousin, a ranger, and finaly their two last addition, a dwarf who was a great scout, but because he had a knack to take people in the back, he was kindly shown the exit from his native mines. And finaly a hafling who had worked with the group in a mission in a city he knew a bit, and he had finaly became a full member after saving them from quite a deadly trap. He was also skilled to build them, or set them up.
All of them did their best to find the elf, but rumor said he had gone into Myth Drannor and the place was quite too dangerous for the adventurers. Emeria and her "family" setteled in Hullack forest, in a small wooden cabin. The rest of the company continued to make excort duty, seeking of bandits in the forest and artifact reaserches, but mostly, they splitted and kept company to Emeria for the almost year and half she was pregnant. No one really knew how long it would take for the half-elf. Finaly, the day came, and she gave birth to a daughter. At first she was a bit uneasy because the girl had two different eyes color, one was golden, the other green. Emria had blue eyes, but Rhys had green ones. Sitll, she named her Avae, which means "joy" in elven, because she had come to really want her, and she brought great joy to the whole company.
Indeed, they all became family for the little girl. She grew up learning from them all. A bit of magic, a bit of trap setting, and most of all, Archery. It was like she was born with one in her hand. She was quite skilled with it.
Years passed and when she was 7, Emeria decided it was time to reform the company and thaught her daughter more then the forest life. She started taking contact again for the full lot of them, and bringing her daughter along. Sometime, she could take her along, the rest of the time she left her in the inns, with people she trusted, or one of the group. But soon, Avae learned to hide well, and to follow at distance, hiding in trees, or other places while they did their business. Her "family" taught her the life of honest mercenary, helping those in need for price they could pay.
Emeria never hide who her father was, but since she never found him, Avae was let to imagine him. She always wished she would someday find him. And 23 years after her birth, the company finaly broke appart. Not from some nasty argument, no but because the humans in it were becoming too old for such a life. Mostly Evram, who never had quite a strong constinution. He became ill, and barely survived. That decide for the humans to take a well erned retirement. Emeria, her brother and her sister-in-law bought an Inn near Shadowdale, close to the wood. It was call the BlackCat, a jest to honnor Shadow, Emeria's panther. She became a bit the emblem of the place, and was learned not to be feared, but also respected as a wild animal.
It's at that time that Avae started to wish she could leave to search for her father. Her family was scattering, the dwarf and the hin wishing to start their own companies, and the four humans setteled togheter. Avae was at the start of her life, and she was so accustom to travel that she didn't want to settle down. Her elder understood perfectly, but they wished to make sure she was ready to go alone. So they trained her for two more years, especialy in magic since she was already quite skilled with the art of her mother. Then she was ready. Emeria called a favor from some friends to accompany her up for part of the way. Since they were going to Baldur's Gate and the city was big enough to have a good start to look for Rhys, she agreed to go with them.
Emeria had forgotten Rhys' surname, but she told her daughter the most she could about him before she left, and so there she arrived at the Gate.
