Whew, I got a little carried away--but actually, there was at least one more section I had planned to add, it was just getting so long haha.
In proof-reading and going over my overall outline for Kith's back-backstory, there are far more ties to her future than I had even anticipated, which I am both surprised and happy for.
Some NPCs of note:
Randel Aldeath
Kithran’s father. A tall, dark haired Corian merchant of tobacco and spices. Other than his height, he dons a moderate build and a jovial smile. Though Kithran’s memories of him are half-filled with his scowl and disapproval, the other half is filled with his delight in challenging her wordplay and making songs together.
Tara Ikhari
A human Laughing Maiden of Shinara and Kithran’s mentor. Tara has thick, dirty blond hair that she usually wears up, brown eyes, and an athletic build. Most of the time when Kith sees her outside her studies, she is done up--donning a dress of some shade of red, and lovely delicate accessories to match, which Kithran made a game to try to snatch off, but Tara catches her every time. During her studies, or any time Tara has no one she must impress, she will be either in her travel clothes, or her leathers--these darker and only accented by the Shinara reds. Kithran doesn’t know much of her adventuring, but she does know enough about Tara to know that she too wields sticky fingers, though far more brilliantly and successfully than Kithran has had a chance to even attempt.
Castien
A Sylvari boy in the charge of Aramond Cinderfell. His master had literally pulled Castien from a fire as a young child, saving his life in exchange for his undying loyalty. His orange hair and violet eyes catch the glance of human and Syl alike--though it is mostly the Syl whose eyes linger, as he follows his human benefactor wherever he may go.
Aramond Cinderfell
A human wine merchant from a long line of merchants. Cinderfell met Castien the day the boy watched is family burn alive in the northern Sylvari kingdom of Alloryen. Cinderfell rescued the boy from certain demise that day, and Castien has pledged his life to the merchant every day since.
WRITER'S NOTE: I internally smacked my head when I was writing Armond's bit here and realized how, I guess, "coincidental" the Cinderfell name was in conjunction with him having pulled Castien from a fire. I truly did not even catch it until just now, but oh well.
