Aesling

Aesling, known as Ashe by her friends, grew up on a distant forest island. The island in question had no other Guardians, the last being her mother who died of injuries soon after Ashe had hatched. The island- known as Meathe- had no knowledge on Guardians, her mother being the first to the island and having already found her charge- which turned out to be the island, and having seen no reason to explain it to anyone.

Everyone assumed all Guardians in a family line would have the same charge, and so Ashe was forced into a position she did not want- though her mother did pass on one thing. Her mother was cursed with a creature bound to her, and upon her death, the creature passed on to Ashe.

The creature granted Ashe with magic, wove it into her very being, causing her to lose a little bit of herself every time she uses it. Growing up with nobody to explain her biology, her need to explore and to find her Charge, left Ashe alone and confused.

She spent most of her time in the trees, finding solstice in the leaves and branches. Her father refused to ever let her leave the island, and told her it was her duty to protect the residents of the island, even though she felt no drive to protect Meathe.

As she grew older, she felt more and more determined to leave the island. Her need to leave only increased every time her father insisted she stay. Finally, having enough, she ran away in the middle of the night, finding a boat to take her to the mainland.

For a while, she worked with a training agency- a soul sucking one, at that. As soon as she could, she left the group and joined a smaller group of adventurers. They found a permanent home in The Tangled Woods, though they travel around a lot to adventure.

She has the ability to heal others with what she claims is her 'not magic'. Every time she does it, she loses a little bit of herself to the creature that she is bound to. She hopes to learn more of herself, and the creature she is bound to, by traveling around and gathering information.
