User:Aliceandsven/Eye of Ultimecia

A material Avatar of Melandru, granted immortality by the goddess herself. She is a woman of the wilderness and an expert marksman. Combining feral ferocity with her amazing accuracy with a bow and arrow, she is a deadly force of nature. Out of battle she is passionate and warm-hearted, and is greatly adored by many fellow worshipers of the Earth Goddess and animals alike. Though she is kind, she has trouble maintaining temperance. Insulting her height may set her in a bad mood. She is widely known as "Earth Daughter" or "Eye in the Sand".

History
Sarah McGrath never felt right growing up surrounded by the walls of Ascalon. She disliked being pushed in directions she did not feel like going in, and often ran away from home after arguments with her parents over her studies at the academy, to the serene wonderlands of the southern forests. Eventually she dropped out of the academy all together, spending elongated amounts of time away from Ascalonian society. In the bows of Melandru's verdant splendor she met a man named Aidan who from then on became her mentor. He taught her his life's worth of knowledge; how to survive, how to sustain ones self off of nothing but the earth, how to fare best against nature's wilder sides. She absorbed all that he had to teach and happily studied the wonders of the earth for the rest of her teenage years.

Eventually the day came when she disappeared from Ascalon, and she has never looked back since. Across Tyria and Elona she has traveled, her path being free and pure like the wind. She slept among lions in Kourna and danced in rituals at Temples of Melandru in Kryta. When the world beckoned for heroes, she answered, following whispers on the wind to wherever her aid was needed. But after every deed she would return to the wild, her truest home.

One sunny morning after awaking from a prophetic dream, she was visited by an aspect of the Goddess who ordained her as a favored subject. She was granted everlasting vitality and health, the ability to assimilate into the earth, and the languages of every plant and animal within the world (vocal or otherwise).

What she dreamed of, she refuses to share even with her closest companions. Though she assures us it is nothing to be worried about.
