Dabre Gelricki





One of five children in a rather poor fishing family on the outskirts of Illian, Dabre grew up as any pauper's child would, begging for spare change, pick-pocketing the passing merchants, anything she had to to help pay for the family's food.

Having such a lifestyle did have its benefits, of course. Dabre learned to be completely self-sufficient; she could defend herself, take care of herself, get food for herself, all by the age of 12. However, Dabre's lack of a proper upbringing also had many downfalls. Her parents both died at a young age, from curable diseases they could simply not afford the medicine for. She also lost two younger brothers to illness and decided, for herself, to leave Illian forever, and take her sisters with her.

So, at the age of 15, Dabre was alone, caring for two young girls and completely lost. She knew they were in Lugard, but that was all. They had no money, and no where to go, when miraculously, a farm couple took them in, just like that. The girls worked for their stay, but it was better living than any of them had ever known.
One day, however, the farm couple was visited by an Aes Sedai, a Healer, who was there to help the woman give birth. Afterward, she noticed the spark in Dabre quickly and took her immediately to the White Tower.

Dabre had to leave her sisters behind, but she knew they would be safe, for once. Dabre was a quick learning, and a strong Channeler, stronger than most in Earth and Water, as well as Air. She chose the Green Ajah for various reasons, including her loathing of the famine and pestulance the Dark One promises to bring down on man, but mostly to protect those too weak to protect themselves.

Dabre, therefore, has a unique personality; one of compassion and caring, as well as hard discipline and determination. She towers among the others at her meager height of 5'6" or so, and she finally allows herself to indulge in silks and satins for the first time in her life. Dabre has truly found her place in the Tower; a strong Sitter for the Green and a trusted figure among the Aes Sedai.
