Appearance: Jalen is a slight girl who walks with a pronounced limp. Her blond hair is long, and she tends to wear it braided. Her face is open and heart shaped, with large golden-brown eyes that are full of kindness. Her nose is short, her lips are full, and her cheekbones are full. She's the kind of women that most would call "cute." When traveling, she wears a sturdy traveler's outfit in pale tan canvas and leather, with a red belt. Over it she wears leather armor that has seen a great deal of wear. The light brown cloak she wears over it is made from oiled canvas to keep off the rain, and inside it is lined with pockets. She carries a quarterstaff seemingly made of golden crystal in one hand.
When she is in her field hospital, she wears a peasent's outfit of a loose canvas shirt and trousers, with a red cord belt. Over it she wears an apron as well as a vest with many pockets. She also covers up her hair with a red kerchief when she's on duty. In all cases, she wears a carved and painted holy symbol of Ilmater around her neck on a braided cord of red leather.
Her holy robes she uses for ceremonies are gleaming white, full-length robes of fine linen, with red stitching at the cuffs, neck, and hems, and a tabard over it with Ilmater's symbol embroidered in it.
Personality: Jalen is a self-sacrificing individual who is always eager to help those who cannot help themselves. Kindness and patience are words that come to mind when someone describes her. She gives all she can give to others, and keeps very little for herself. Above all, she gives herself to others. A few years ago she was able to purchase and outfit an old faire tent to become a portable hospital, and since then has roamed Faerun, going to the smallest and largest of settlements to assist in healing the sick and the injured. If there is a hint of conflict or war, she will go to help tend to the injured there, as well as any hint of plague or sickness. She has subsumed herself in the aid of others, until it seems that that is all she is.
Background: Jalen was born in the wild northern country of Damara, in the small town of Shadow's Knoll. It was a small, insular town, used to taking care of its own problems. A small temple to Ilmater was all there was to tend to this little flock. The self-sacrifice of Ilmater was not particularly evident in this town, as everyone was supposed to simply go with tradition.
When a young boy and his mother moved to the town, they were viewed with suspiscion, simply for being outside of Shadow's Knoll. It became obvious that the boy was not entirely right in the head, and even the efforts of the aging priest of Ilmater could not help the young lad. But his peculiar mannerisms grated on the insular townsfolk, and they shunned the boy, Marl, and his mother.
Jalen was only ten years old when her life changed suddenly and forever. She was the daughter of the town blacksmith, Kellir, and his wife, the village midwife Andrea. She had already begun to learn the simple healer's arts from her mother, as her seven year-old brother Tiron began to learn their father's trade.
Jalen was coming home in early winter after gathering some wintergreen from the edge of the forest. She went to take a shortcut behind the baker's house when she heard faint cries. Looking down the alley she saw Marl being badly beaten by several of the older boys in the town, boys whose fathers has expressed contempt for the boy and his mother. Jalen knew that Marl was not much older than her beloved brother Tiron, and flew down the alley, shouting at them to stop. With that momentary distraction, Marl managed to get up and flee, leaving the boys incredibly angry at the loss of their prey.
They took out their anger on Jalen, beating her badly, crushing her feet, breaking her legs, and nearly causing her to die. The old priest of Ilmater was the one that found her, and it was he who cared for her and protected her in the temple. Her mother and father feared for her life, as the town would not tolerate those who didn't conform. Following the advice of the priest, her mother and father said tearful good-byes and shipped their daughter southward to a larger temple of Ilmater.
It was here that Janel had her first vision of Ilmater. Seeing a vision of a man far more badly hurt than her, but still with kindly eyes and a gentle manner, helped her get through her healing process without emotional scars. It was with this she developed the desire to help those others who had no one to stand up for them and help them. Delighted, the priests of Ilmater trained her as their own, and helped to set her on her path to heal and succor those that had no other to help them.
Jalen wrote to her parents while she was in the temple, and even visited them once she was ordained. However, the insular villagers were not too pleased to see her again, and she could feel their discontent. Despite her love for her parents and her brother Tiron, she has not returned to Shadow's Well again, though she writes often.
For one that is so giving, it seems odd that she should keep anything for herself. But in her long wanderings as a healer, she has sometimes been gifted by the church or those grateful for her healings. She usually refuses such gifts unless she can give them to the church, but on a few occasions the church has insisted she keep some gifts to protect herself, and hence her charges.
One was a pearl of wisdom, given to her by a priest of Istishia when she helped his village through a plague. Another was a set of magical leather armor, given to her by the family of a hunter for whom she conducted a funeral. The man had been lost in the woods, and Jalen was able to help ease his pain when he was finally found, and gave him the burial blessings even though the family could not pay much for the rite. One of her most sacred possessions is a quarterstaff made from a celestial crystal called frystalline. Strangely enough, this she found stuck in the earth of a long-forgotten path. Visions from Ilmater convinced her to keep it, and she uses it in her ceremonies to the Maimed God.
