[sblock=Background] The eldest of a family of 4 noble children, Althaea was given special treatment. At birth, her family called in a favor from the House Jorasco to give their firstborn child their blessings, to ensure her success. The Ripace family has a long history of excellence in the arcane arts, and thus, Althaea was pushed to follow in these footsteps, studying the arcane arts from an incredibly young age, even by eladrin standards. However, as the years went on, it became increasingly apparent that Althaea could not create any magical effect. Even the fey step, one of the basic skills of her race, she could never perform, to say nothing of mastering it. This was a... disappointing turn of events to her patrons.
Therefore, her parents set their eyes on her younger siblings. Each of them had a talent for magic, Caerwyn for enchantment, Lysistra for evocation, Solander for illusions. But there was something wrong with that Althaea girl, they said. Thus, Althaea was raised with the belief that she was inferior for her lack of talent, and studied furiously to try to catch up to her younger siblings. Still, it was in vain.
After a few years of this passed, her family decided that they might as well train her to be useful in some way, and trained her in the old martial traditions. At this point, she had become resentful of magical power, and threw herself whole-heartedly into this new field. Here, she discovered that her efforts in the library hadn't been for naught. While she had not awakened her arcane arts as she'd initially hoped, Althaea had cultivated a mind like no other. Her capacity for strategy, for planning, for battle, was unmatched.
Eventually, she left the Feywild to explore the world on her own. There, she met up with the current adventuring party. While they've traveled together, Althaea visibly retained some of her former bitterness and mistrust of magic, but it has by and large gone away. Though she is still somewhat distant, the group has learned to trust her tactical prowess on the field of battle, if nothing else. In a fight, her ability to bark out orders in a split second has finished off enemies before they could even react.[/sblock] [sblock=Ministats]Althaea Ripace - Eladrin Warlord
