History:
Jubilee was born on midsummer's eve at the exact moment of the full moon. The midwife who birthed her said it was uncommon that a child be born on this night even more so that the child was born during the full moon. She tattooed a spiral circle on to Jubilee's upper left shoulder to mark the occasion.
       As she grew into her young years she was always surrounded by animals and when she thought no one was around she would communicate with them. While her parents, a farmer and his wife didn't fine her fascination with animals unusual, they did think the way even the wild animals would come up to her extremely unusual. As she matured into her pre-adolescent years her parents came to fear her more and more and the night before she turned 13 they turned her out of there home, saying she was unnatural and was tainted by the Pelagris forest.
       With no home to go she was feeling utter despair and was going to end her life when a flock of animals came to her and begged her not to, for she was one of few who could understand her. They helped her by leading her to a giant hollowed out tree and told her to make a 'nest' for herself there, and they would take care of her, and teach her the ways of the forest.
       For the next 3 years she lived in the forest, where she learned the edible fruits and plants, the little meat she had she only took when an animal had passed into the havens. Then once day a Priestess of Astera was walking through the woods and  came upon Jubilee. The priestess was eager to learn Jubilee's story and after hearing it, asked if Jubilee would accept an offer to come to the Temple with her where she could have a good home and learn a some sort of skill that would help her through life.
       Jubilee accepted and moved to the Temple of Astera where it took her time to get accustomed to the different style of living. There her give of empathy started to emerge, she could feel the emotions of her peers at the temple, and in turn became quiet a shoulder to cry on, as well as an ear for problems. Her fetching manifested at the temple as well, when a herb jar was out of reach and as she strained for it it came to her... although she has never been able to fetch larger than a medium herb jar or heaver than a full herb jar.
       Two moons before her 19th birthing day the High Priestess requested that Jubilee give her the exact details of her birth and of her tattoo. After she did the priestess called for her dyes and told Jubilee that connected to the sun she is for being born on midsummer's eve, she would always be truly bonded to the moon, for it will give her strength if need be. She then gave her the full moon tattoo, gave her the surname Moonchild and told her that her truly calling is on the road to Haven and she will have the help she needs with in a fortnight.
       Jubilee then set out for Haven and the third night as she was resting in the forest a brilliant white horse-being came to her and she was chosen. So began her journey to Haven and the Heraldic Collegium...
