To answer this question, you need to understand that when I was a newborn I was left on the doorstep of a tavern here in Absalom. The owners of the tavern were a human family, and they and their descendants raised me. This tavern used to be a place frequented by Pathfinders, though this isn't really the case today. Anyways, as I was growing up helping around there, I couldn't help but notice when Pathfinders who had been expected to return did not return, or when they did return short a member and sat in the corner quietly.

I became a Pathfinder to protect and help other Pathfinders to return alive.
2. Do you have a name and surname that is not ripped straight out of existing Earth mythology or popular culture?
Yes ((used some random elf name generator))
3. Which nation did you grow up in? How did this nation influence you?
I grew up right here, in Absalom. It so happens that the family that raised me also owned a small brewery, so I began to learn about alchemical processes at an early age.
4. What do you look like? What are your wearing? How does this vary when you’re stalking through forests, sewers, deserts or in glittering cities?
I have a few sets of clothes that I wear when not on a mission. When I am, I wear my long, thick, dark gray coat that has many pockets and straps to hold things. Because of its dull color, it is serviceable enough until I've time to clean it. It is roomy enough that I can easily wear some armor underneath it.

To tell the truth, I do not need to change my outfit because of the climate, within reason. I learned how to make something that keeps the temperature from bothering me.
5. What do you love? (Treasure and experience doesn’t count)
When everybody makes it back to the Grand Lodge alive
6. What do you hate? (Unclear and irritating darkness level rules don’t count)
Frivolous missions that endanger Pathfinders' lives nonetheless
7. Which other Pathfinders (PCs) do you rely on for teamwork, survival and butt-kicking? Do you have a bro? a mentor? a father figure? maybe a rival?
Pullum is good at thinking outside of the box. Berry is good at being supportive, and is full of life.
8. How does your race influence your views? Are you a stereotype of a certain race? How are you different from most humans/elves/gnomes/orcs/tengu?
Being raised by humans, I have noticed that I am a little different than other elves. Most of the ones I've spoken with don't think much of alchemy, which is a shame.
9. What are you afraid of? Do you have any phobias or worries?
Survivor's guilt; I am afraid that someday I will be the only one to return from a mission.
10. What is your most treasured possession?
Currently, I own the tavern and brewery that my adoptive family owned. They came into my hands a few decades ago, and I have kept them open and in good repair since, though the time is quickly approaching when I will give the operation to my great-great-nephew, and open my own business.

To earn money to buy nice things, like jewelery and outfits. I originally applied to the Society when they were recruiting people with wilderness experience. After seeing enough druids and outdoorsmen who were good at handling animals, they just started to hire people who were good at handling animals without bothering to see if they knew their other stuff. Which was fortunate for me, as I really don't have any wilderness experience, despite knowing about nature and how to befriend animals.
2. Do you have a name and surname that is not ripped straight out of existing Earth mythology or popular culture?
Yes. Moving right along...
3. Which nation did you grow up in? How did this nation influence you?
I grew up in Nirmathis. Living in the Fangwood, I learned alot about nature and animals. I was even supposed to become a druid.
4. What do you look like? What are your wearing? How does this vary when you’re stalking through forests, sewers, deserts or in glittering cities?
Well, obviously I am wearing a dark green ((Tyrolean)) hat with a red feather in it, a brown cape coat, and a dark green skirt. Also I am of course wearing a gold ring and a pair of sapphire earrings. While you of course can't see it now, though maybe you will get to if you stay a bit longer, I have a large tattoo on my back; autumn leaves in shades of reds, oranges, yellows and browns cover my back.

I do have other outfits that I will wear if the situation calls for it, but most of them are more practical than pretty.
5. What do you love? (Treasure and experience doesn’t count)
The animals who are my friends are very important to me. The panther sitting beside me is Clare, of course. I found her lost, without a family in the Fangwood a few years ago, and raised her. She is a good friend, and it makes me sad that we'll soon be parting ways, but she deserves to have kits someday soon.

The ferret on my shoulder is Elizabeth. She found me one day, and hasn't left since. The rat here is Tabitha. Its ok, she doesn't bite. Christine is the mule outside, and she doesn't complain when I ask her to carry things. Joseph is the toad here. He doesn't like strangers very much, but we're working to help him get over that.

The bat underneath my hat is Abel. I found him with his wing broken, and helped him to recover. He wouldn't leave me after that, but I think its mostly because he finds my hair comfortable to sleep in. He actually doesn't make a mess out of it, thankfully.
6. What do you hate? (Unclear and irritating darkness level rules don’t count)
Druids. How dare they say "we don't think that you have the right mindset to be a druid." To make it worse, by the time they got around to telling me this, my family had moved, which made it sort of not possible to go back to them.
7. Which other Pathfinders (PCs) do you rely on for teamwork, survival and butt-kicking? Do you have a bro? a mentor? a father figure? maybe a rival?
Alexander, or Ally-boy, does a good job of holding my stuff. While he's cute, he's a bit too nervous to be a lady killer. Maybe I'll help him work on that someday. I've recently made friends with a Dwarven Pathfinder, Inmissam. Though I tease him a bit, I'm not sure if he notices it.
8. How does your race influence your views? Are you a stereotype of a certain race? How are you different from most humans/elves/gnomes/orcs/tengu?
I don't think I'm a stereotype of humans...I mean I like nice things and I like having a good time, but that doesn't make me a 'stereotypical' human.
9. What are you afraid of? Do you have any phobias or worries?
Lots of insects or rodents in a group. On their own animals aren't all that aren't scary, either because they simply aren't threatening or because they can be calmed down if they are upset that some Pathfinders are walking through their territory. But angry swarms of small animals can't be calmed down, and they can really do a lot of hurt to anybody who gets in their way.
10. What is your most treasured possession?
My sorcerous powers. Without them, I wouldn't have really had any skills or abilities particularly noteworthy after the druids told me "no no you can't be one of us no no," other than an affinity for animals.

By the way, were you going to take me up on that offer?

That I will leave Ana someday to make family; I will be glad for it, but will still hate it when I am leaving her

Afraid Ana get hurt when I not there
