Appearance
Norani stands on the average end of height for Ecithian Ork women, strong in body as all Ecithians are. Her skin is a mix of the color of "moss on the loamy eastern side of lake Nora" and is her namesake. She wears the hides and fur of the animals native to Ecith, and has begun her Vo'uveh.
On her back, are two Runes of Magic; Animus and Summoning. The Rune of Summoning is in the center, a great tree that grows from lower back, branching out across her shoulder blades. Each of her bonded summons appears in the branches in some fashion. Her animus rune fills in the space around the trunk of the tree, the creatures she's bonded with roaming about the grassy plain. On her front, her Rune of Elementalism is a swirling of the four elements, splashing across her chest, and plunging down between her breasts, disappearing around her waistline. Over her heart, she has a vibrant and moving tattoo of a lotus in fiery colors, given to her by a Seer as a bond with her best friend, Yeva Bleu. Finally she has the beginning of swirls of Ecithian tattoo script spiraling down her left arm, her Ecithian Citizenship markings.
Personality
Norani is young, bold, and adventurous. She's very outspoken and curious, and cannot by any means sit still. She's deeply passionate in all aspects of her life, and headstrong in her youthful beliefs. She enjoys pushing herself, and others, to be her best self and find all of the enjoyment in life.
However, after she discovered her family's deception in Searing, 122, Norani has become a lot more withdrawn, prone to emotional extremes and outbursts. She struggles to connect socially, is distrusting both of herself and others.
History
Norani was raised in the village of Ounokt Nora on Lake Nora in the southern edges of North Ecith. Her village is roughly two-hundred strong, and all of them helped to raise her, as they do for all of their children. She was taught the history of both her village and of Ecith, was taught the religions of the land and she, like most from her village, follows the Old Ways, honoring the Land, Sky, and Seas. She acknowledges the presence of the Dragon Era as well as the Triumvirate in her beliefs as well, but they do not take precedence over the Old Ways.
She lived a happy and healthy childhood, playing games that would teach her important skills for survival, allowed to explore in the creation of art, and otherwise allowed to be a child. Upon coming of age, she has joined the Ecithian Shield, joining the tribal battalions that fight against the Primals that walk over Ecith.
Post Creation History
Glade, 122
Norani was newly joined into the military. She learned how to fly upon the back of her Ci'uvan companion, Ruvaf. She traveled with her military contingent to the capital of Drathera where she met Yeva Bleu. This kicked off a quick and easy friendship, leading to Yeva traveling back to Norani's home village with the contingent.
Searing, 122
Searing started as a comfortable season for Norani. She spent her days training with military compatriots and spending time with Yeva. However, during an initiation into Summoning, Norani learned that she used to have a childhood best friend named Juno. However, Juno had been taken by the Unknown and Norani had no memories of her. With the discovery of this information, Norani realized her family would have known of Juno, and had been keeping her existence hidden from her. This led to conflict, breaking Norani's heart and leading to her isolating heavily and feeling as though she had no family any longer. Yeva provided comfort and friendship during this terribly difficult time.
Ash 122
Norani and Yeva left Ecith to join the Expedition aboard the Duck. The journey itself was strange for Norani, meeting so many new people while still dealing with the harsh emotional turmoil she was in. Upon arriving at the expedition location, Norani and Yeva built a shared hut and began trying to adapt to their new world.
However, on Ash 65, Yeva disappeared from Norani's world, as did the sun behind the eclipse. This left Norani entirely distraught, another major part of her world taken from her, shattering an already fragile heart. There was no trail to find, no clues to where Yeva had gone. She was simply vanished. All that was left were the nightmares that visited Norani every night as she slept.
Frost 122
After nearly an entire season of scouring the jungle, trying to find any clue as to Yeva's disappearance, Norani noticed the Tree of the East. She flew to it with Ruvaf, and has now undertaken a great quest to free Ghoron, the Last Titan, the elements that are trapped with him, and the missing seasons. She does this to bring balance back to the elements and the world and hopes it will aid her in finding where Yeva has disappeared to.
