birthplace = [[Narshe]], [[Doma]] ([[Gaera_Alternate_Future|alternate dimension Gaera]])|
residence = ??, [[Solasia]]--however, spends most of her time traveling with [[Adeletheniarisil|Adele]]|
occupation =  [[dragoon|dragon knight]]|
family = Justin Marra (father), Abigeal Marra [Baird] (mother), Tara Marra (younger sister), Kathleen Marra (younger sister), Addan Marra (younger brother), Maeve Marra (younger sister), Donny Marra (younger brother)|
race = [[human]]|
description = blue-grey eyes <font color="#8f9CC2"><b>██</b></font>, silver hair <font color="#b7b7b7"><b>██</b></font>, "fair" skin <font color="#f2e2cc"><b>██</b></font>, freckles; 5'4", slightly toned muscles; often has a nervous or stressed appearance|

personality = poster child for social anxiety; easily nervous, stressed, intimidated, and sometimes paranoid; will often keep quiet when she shouldn't, if it means less social discomfort for her; will often lose her anxiety around children, her friend [[Tayr'or Complin|Tayr'or]], and sometimes, her [[Solasia]]n [[dragoon|knight]] companion ; enjoys spending time alone, traveling, and reading; is slowly learning better social habits from [[Adeletheniarisil|Adele]]|
beliefs = Whatever happened to the gods of her world, Aerin did not know--she had never once heard of them; she was shocked upon hearing of such things. Just about everyone treated the gods as fact--the king, queen, most of [[Doma]], [[Adeletheniarisil|Adele]], and the entire [[Solasia]]n council. She was finally convinced by a fire dragon mother--a Paladin of [[Ryuugami]]--who had met the goddess in person, and received a blessing on the clutch she had been carrying. Having thus been talked past her misgivings, Aerin is being enthusiastically tutored by [[Adeletheniarisil|Adele]] in Ryuugami's Holy Texts and the proper ways to honor and worship [[Ryuugami]]...although, Aerin is not so sure [[Adeletheniarisil|Adele]] really knows what she's talking about, so much.|
drunkitude = unknown|
other = Farsighted. Aerin was a resident at the castle for a good year, as the guest of [[Cardinal]], starting at sometime in 1311 when she arrived in [[Gaera Main]].|

== Background ==
Both Justin and Abigeal Marra were born and raised in [[Narshe]], [[Doma]]--and that is where they raised their family, on a self-sufficient farm on the outskirts of town. Aerin was their eldest child, and...different, somewhat, in a way they couldn't place, but loving, mindful of her chores, and a great help with her younger siblings. Considering the general state of the magic-locked, turmoil-ridden world, the Marras couldn't ask for a great deal more.

Aerin, herself, was rather pleased with her set-up. She was quite close to her family, and life at home was a great deal more peaceful than what she heard about when she was sent into the center of [[Narshe]] on various errands. Indeed, her trips into central [[Narshe]] were probably the only major part of her life that she regretted; she had no particular fondness for the boisterous and often violent ways of the city folk. It was amazing how quiet she could become upon entering 'their territory.' Nonetheless, she managed to make some friends from off the farm--such as [[Tayr'or Complin]] (RPer--[[User:KingOfDoma|KingOfDoma]]).

Among her other chores, Aerin was responsible for doing some hunting for the family; for this, she was trained in the use of the crossbow. Conveniently, she took extra time in this activity to explore some of the uninhabited area around the farm--an activity her parents would forbid, if they had known about it, given the stories of monsters in the area. She was investigating a set of ruins with curious runes set in the walls...when the world around her seemed to turn liquid, then suck her through the air and into nothingness before dumping her into a surprisingly solid [[Doma Castle]]. The mage [[Cardinal]] (RPer--[[User:KingOfDoma|KingOfDoma]]) was standing in front of her, looking a bit surprised himself.

It took a while for Aerin to understand what had just happened, who [[Cardinal]] was, and why [[Doma Castle]] was in one piece. Once it was established that she had been pulled out of her proper world and brought into another, she rather desired to return to her own. However, upon attempting this, [[Cardinal]] only succeeded in displacing no other than [[Tayr'or Complin|Tayr'or]], as well. Needless to say, the explanation process had to be repeated.

By way of apology, [[Cardinal]] made a request of the king, and Aerin and [[Tayr'or Complin|Tayr'or]] were allowed to stay in the castle until such time that [[Cardinal]] would be able to find a way to send them home. However, [[Tayr'or Complin|Tayr'or]] seemed to disappear shortly after, and after waiting for over a year as a guest in a luxurious castle, on someone else's gil and doing nothing to earn it, Aerin began to feel guilty. She informed [[Cardinal]] that she would return periodically to check on his progress, and left to see what she could do to support herself.

After floating around a few jobs of varying kinds, Aerin discovered--with the help of others' knowledge--latent magical abilities. She visited [[Gunnir Academy]], and was even briefly tempted to enroll, despite her desire to return home, where magical training would mean little. She also briefly spent time under the tutelage of [[Mahou Wyrd]], a bounty hunter.

Eventually, she wound up along the coast of [[Riva]]. Here, she was approached by a young dragon in human form named [[Adeletheniarisil]] (RPer--[[User:Nekogami|Nekogami]])--who mercifully allows herself to be addressed as [[Adeletheniarisil|Adele]]. After some conversation, [[Adeletheniarisil|Adele]] enthusiastically asked Aerin if she wanted to be her [[dragoon|dragon knight]]; thinking this was some sort of game, perhaps, Aerin agreed...

[[Adeletheniarisil|Adele]] then promptly transformed into a dragon, and stuff™ happened. It didn't take long for Aerin to find out she had just made a life-long commitment to an adolescent dragon to be her partner in the service of the country of [[Solasia]] and the goddess of dragons, [[Ryuugami]].

Well, shit.

* [Innate] Farsighted: Aerin is farsighted, and does not wear or own any corrective lenses. :o Oh my!
* [Innate] Remain Unnoticed: In the presence of more exuberant or noticeable characters--which isn't much, comparatively speaking--Aerin can fade into the background, unnoticed or overlooked by all but careful observers.
* [Ice=1] Ice Ball (4 MP): Forms a chunk of ice--kind of roundish, it usually tries to connect painfully with the opponent. Does 8 rank*2+1d6 water damage to a single target.
* [Ice=4] Frozen Lance (12 MP): It's sharp. Does 14 rank*4+2d6 ice damage to a single target.
* [Ice=4] Frozen Spiral (29 MP): Lots of hand-length icicles with razor-like edges, all spiraling out from Aerin's hands, in the shape of a cylinder in front of her. Does 10 rank*2+3d6 ice damage to all within a 10 foot corridor in front of the caster.
* [Water=1] Dihydrogen Monoxide (4 MP): Douses fires and tempers. Does 8 rank*2+1d6 water damage to a single target.
* [Water=3] Clean Water (7 MP): Extracts enough pure water from any source which contains it--streams, damp cloth, plants--to fill a cup, provided that much is contained within the source.
* [Water=4] Cleanse (10 MP): Cleans an object.
