Her mother and father were married in an elven ceremony not long after they met, against the wishes of the elven maiden's family. Within three months, Tielisani was with child. When she informed her "husband", he cast her out of his home, spurning her, and declaring that the child could not be his. Weeping, she traveled back to her family's home.  Tielisani was cold and unforgiving towards her offspring, blaming Aleahea for driving away her father. In addition, Aleahea's full-blooded kin wanted nothing to do with her, a "filthy half-breed". Her mother's second husband acted as if Aleahea did not exist, making for a very cold and lonely childhood. When Aleahea was 14, she left her home, never to return. Her leave-taking went without notice (for she had no friends) except by her mother, Tielisani, whose last words were "Good riddance." Her heart steeled to such treatment, Aleahea left without shedding a tear. All such tears had been cried out years ago. Questing for acceptance among her human kin, she searched out her father's house - only to find it burned to the ground long ago. Not knowing if he lived or died, Aleahea tried to ask such information of the neighbors - only to be turned away, curses heaped upon her, because of her heritage.  Leaving the mystery of her father behind, she traveled the roads, training herself in the use of weaponry for protection (as it was painfully clear she could not rely on the kindness of strangers). She also meditated, searching for her own inner strength. This was how she became a mystic, relying on only herself for protection and purpose. Despite her treatment by many, she attempted to help those in need and forgive those who cursed her, positive that the first step in self-perfection was to forgive others for their transgressions. After traveling from town to town for two years, she met a human Knight of the Crown named Arthur Bloodstone. He invited her to share his campfire one night, which she did, albeit somewhat warily. They talked far into the night, and in the morning he invited her to travel with him, as "Two swords are better than one." Aleahea traveled with Arthur for six months, drawing strength and purpose from him. Learning all she could about the Knights, one day she quietly asked him if he would accept her as his squire. He accepted, having become very fond of the young woman he treated like a daughter. Now, at age 19, Aleahea has become a full Knight of the Crown in her own right. She is a quiet individual, tending to think situations all the way through before acting. She has a tendency to reserve judgment on others, preferring to make certain of all the facts first. She is a tall, willowy woman with hair so black that it has blue highlights and hazel eyes.  She seems to have inherited her mother's unearthly beauty (save for her hair color), and grace. Despite her appearance, she does not believe she is beautiful, remembering only the beauty of the elves she was raised among. Compared to them, she was simply ugly. Her surname Nightsong was given to her by her mother, to name the haunting, sorrowful songs she often sang to herself as a child. Aleahea retains the name to remind her of where she came from. When not wearing the full armor of the Knighthood, Aleahea tends to dress in the simple (and slightly scanty) dress of one of the warmer region she had visited in her travels (perhaps the Plains of Dust). She continues her journey of self-discovery as a mystic hand-in-hand with her training as a Knight of the Crown, believing that the only true way to self-perfection lies within oneself. Despite her cool demeanor, she is passionate about the mission of the Knighthood, and never lacks time to help those who cannot help themselves. Picture attached... I wish I had a good enough image program to put a sword in her hand.</blockquote>
