Biography:
Thora was brought into the world just a year before the current king was born. She spent much of her time running around the mountainside she called home; she was adventurous and excited to learn about life. She was often found climbing high trees, laying on the grass and playing with the bugs, or taming the blind animals that called the inside of her mountain home.
Then a monstrous fire spread across the far side of her mountain. She retreated into her favorite tree and hid there for many years (as her time in a tree was abstracted and different than the time outside of the tree). When she finally entered the world again, several years had passed (much to her surprise as she thought she had only been hidden for a few months). She explored her mountain and found that many of her sisters had died in the fire that had claimed most of her home. She felt relieved that she had miraculously survived but also guilty that she had lived and so many of her sisters had died.
There was nothing left her on that mountain and so she ventured away. In her travel to the nearest mountain (a far journey away) she learned how to perfect her archery skills (something that all of her sisters had possessed beforehand and she had been practicing). As she crossed the sea to Algoran in her quest to the Mountain of Eldur, she grew more quiet and isolated, her passionate side quickly dwindling like a fire in a thunderstorm. When she landed in the new country, she heard murmurs in the ground and a pull from nature to go to the village of Brink. Though once she was there, she didn't quite know why.
Extra:
- Unless it's in the caves and tunnels of a mountain, Thora is fairly claustrophobic.
- Feels most comfortable traveling on foot, as it connects her better to the earth. If she had to travel quicker, then it must be on animal-back because she cramps up and grows anxious when riding in a cart or wagon.
- She prefers the outdoors, choosing to sleep outside in almost any weather condition because she doesn't like to be inside. That being said, she still doesn't mind venturing indoors for a drink, to buy something, or to marvel at a palace.
