In Depth Description.


Hails from Waterdeep. A light waterdhavian accent can be heard when she speaks.
Her mother, Eleanor, is a seamstress, and her father, Mortimer, is a guard of Waterdeep.
She grew up in the Castle Ward of Waterdeep, living a comfortable life, worry free of the dangers outside the city. Frequently, she found herself in trouble while not being tutored. The urge for adventure lead her to sneaking off on her own quite frequently. She took her studies mildly serious, knowing that she could achieve more if she tried harder. She valued learning from observing people more than reading about people in books. She often hid in the shadows, listening to the rumors of the city and adventures that awaited her outside of the ward.

She attended the wedding of her eldest sister, Alana and witnessed her first childbirth. They have never been that close, due to the age difference. Alison tried to stay in constant contact with her other sister Alexandra. Being closer in age, their bond was stronger than with Alana. She would read the letters from Alexandra with curiosity and try to envision herself in her sister's world. She always admired her sisters grace and wits, longing to be more like her. Upon her eighteenth birthday, Alison received an odd letter from her sister. It wasn't the usual format. Words were jumbled and she found it quite difficult to read. She immediately expressed concern to her parents, who seemed to be preoccupied with other things. She decided that she would visit her sister as soon as possible. Being of age, it would not be difficult to slip away.


Description:

5'3 115lbs. Lean with mildly sculpted muscles. She seems very small and weak to the passerby, wearing loose fitted clothing. However, looks can be deceiving.
She has fair skin with brown hair. In the sunlight you can see lighter streaks of a blonde pulling through the coffee color.
Her eyes are the color of shaded iron with hints of sapphire clinging to the edges. When it rains, you can see a darker sapphire hues fusing deeper into the girls optics.

She is well groomed, smelling of Mint and Cucumber. She prefers the smell of the outdoors after a fresh rain.
Her gear is not always in the best condition. She will wear her favorite item until it is falling apart and can no longer be utilized. She grows deep attachments to her gear and will only replace it when it is absolutely necessary. Even when discarding broken down effects, she will recycle every piece possible. She currently has a leather-bound, nearly destroyed, notebook made from an old piece of armor her father had crafted for her.

She can be seen with an elegant bow hanging at her side. The bow is beautifully created and a handmade ornament is hanging from the top. Upon looking closer, you will see a small pearl with beautiful copper wire holding it in place. Just above the pearl, a feather is delicately attached. When the wind from her arrows catches it just right, it seems the feather is airborne.

Mindset:

Only recently turning 18, Alison is very naive and trusting. She has a carefree energy about her and tries to always smile despite her inner thoughts or feelings.
She attempts to remain quiet when she has nothing to say. Though she fails most of the time. She has learned that by speaking too soon, she can greatly embarrass herself. She can be quick witted and mischievous, constantly pushing at the lines drawn for her. She has dreamed of becoming an adventurer, however, only recently has begun to explore. She is great at sneaking, but usually can be found tripping over her own words and feet. Alison has a lot of growing into herself to do.

Her philosophy on others is to never pass judgement. It is not her place to interpret their intentions, only to seek understanding in them.
She will be your greatest ally unless you give her a reason to feel she cannot. Once that bridge is crossed, she will still be as nice as possible, but try to exclude you from her day to day. She only keeps necessary company. Although she is not a loner, she is perfectly alright with spending time alone. She cherishes the unattended time, and uses it to cleanse her form and spirit.

Religious Beliefs:

Oghma: God of Wisdom.
She values Oghma greatly. She always yearns and seeks for a greater knowledge. However, the knowledge she seeks cannot be obtained from books. She is searching for the knowledge of the people and places. She wishes to understand motives and reasons for committing a certain act. She yearns for the answers to the -Why- people do things. She feels people have limitless opportunities to teach her new and greater lessons.

Interests:

She loves to draw. Her favorite medium being paper and lead. Since coming to Candlekeep, she has made light sketches of the buildings and the new creatures she has encountered. She keeps loose parchment stuffed inside of her well-worn notebook.

Dragons. She adores them. In Alison's eyes, they are mysterious, captivating, and enchanting creatures. She has only seen a few in her lifetime, and even less up close. She always makes a mental note of everything she observes. Cherishing the brief moment that she spends with each new being.
