Elekar of House Barron:

My persona, Elekar, has long been a favorite character of mine. I first created her when I was fourteen years old for a game of Dungeons and Dragons. For that purpose, she was a Magic User, and I played her for nearly ten years. Now she is a retired sage residing in Greyhawk with her husband and children. I still bring her out of retirement when the need rises, and frequently play her as an NPC whenever I get the chance.

At the role playing site of Realms of Imagination, Elekar is an Aes Sedai of the Yellow Ajah. Born and raised in the outskirts of Caemlyn, she and her family humbly rule the small lands in service to the Queen. It has been a tradition in the House of Barron for their women to train at the White Tower in Tar Valon; and for those showing the spark with the One Power, to be raised to Aes Sedai if capable. Elekar and her younger sister, Bronwyn had both showed the spark and were found worthy enough to be raised to the position of Aes Sedai.

Shortly after her raising, news of her father's illness had brought her back home. He died shortly after, leaving no heirs but his two daughters. The estate was left in the hands of the Barron's lawyers until Elekar felt capable of overseeing the estate herself.

Elekar is now working as a Healer for the White Tower. With her warder, Dael, she seeks out new ways to better serve mankind.
