Hi! My name is Zarabell and I am a half-elven fighter and cleric. I worship Hanali Celanil, Elven goddess of Love and Beauty. I grew up in Greyhawk with my human mother, Joanna. It was in Greyhawk that my father, Laurex Finelock, met and fell in love with my mother. Since Laurex is an elven mage of high standing,my parents were never able to marry and be truly happy. My mother died young, even by human standards. At that point, I went to live in my father's village. Because of his role in his community and the fact that I was only a half-elf, I had to live with foster parents. They were a wonderful family. They loved me like I was their natural daughter. Though there were many elves who teased and disliked me because of my human side, my foster parents, Ciandra and Finnayes Tressledown, taught me to love them in return. This is how my worship of Hanali Celanil first began.
Jump a few years forward with me now, when I met and began adventuring with a wonderful group of people. They included Kalavor Talgris, Margo Prattnick and Dancing Horse. It was with these friends that I had the courage to go through Survival of the Fittest in Greyhawk. I was granted a boon while going through this dungeon...I was given the ability to Read Magic...anytime I want!! I was pretty happy to been granted such a gift (although it means that I have to read all of the scrolls we find...so far so good!!). After this trip through the maze, we also started adventuring with several other people...Jessica Grey (now Talgris), Creslin, Castrol, Brianna, Kamendallil, Trevor, Domar and others I'm probably forgetting. We've had lots of adventures and a few misadventures.
Other stuff about me...I was killed by a gnoll. I had my soul sucked out of me when I lost to some mirror image of myself (but obviously, I got it back!). I found out that I was psionic when I was nearly killed by su monsters (I would have died had I not been psionic!). I've had assassins after me, including Lasivar! I helped discover the ancient Elven City of Myrendell. I helped kill a gorgon (the bull-kind) although another one turned me to stone. I've been to the Luna (the big moon). I am a lesbian (well bisexual, but only with male elves). I read a cursed book and lost a level of my training. I was killed by a Mind Flayer. I was stranded on a poisonous lizard man-ruled world (Torsh). I lost almost all of my psionic strength after drinking a potion that was supposed to increase it. I broke my back after falling out of a peryton nest. That just about covers my life so far!
