Title:
Description: Standing at a demure height of 5'4" and a dainty 105 lbs, this red-haired, green-eyed half elven beauty has the looks to captivate, but do not fall to underestimating her as a mere piece of eye-candy, for behind the beauty lays a quick wit, a wise soul, and the heart of a warrior. Dressed in chainmail, she wears a belt bearing a longsword on her left hip, a dagger on her right hip and a large belt pouch in the center, and a heavy leather backpack upon her back. She wears an ankle-length heavy wool hunter green cloak that can double as a bedroll in a pinch. High, soft black boots complete her look. Around her neck is a silver holy symbol, a crescent moon, that she wears proudly as a devout of Corellon Larethian.
Valenthia grew up in the seafaring town of Northanchor, by Dubhead Bay. While she knew her human mother (a fisherwoman), her elven father was not in the picture for he had arrived in Northanchor onboard his beautiful elvish ship during the springtime festival where it was not uncommon for young folk to take part in the joys of unbridled lovemaking. When he left on his ship a week later he left behind the seed that was to grow into the lovely Valenthia. Valenthia's mother gave the child her father's surname, as it was all she had to give her from him.
At an early age, Valenthia showed signs of being extraordinary. She had a kind heart, a keen intellect, and no fear. She was soon taken under the wing of a mage named Kellek, who taught her the ways of magic. In her time that wasn't spent studying, she prayed to Corellon Larethian at the small temple in town, becoming one of the devout. She was different from most girls, prettier, half-elven, witty. This led her to being picked on, sometimes attacked. She learned to fight back and did so with gusto even though she understood that her attackers had only done so out of jealousy and misunderstanding. She had a kind heart though, and even after being attacked she would call upon the miracles of Corellon to heal the wounds of those who had foolishly assaulted her providing that they were penitent and had seen the error of their ways. Seeing her fighting spirit, one of the old retired guardsmen of the town taught her how to fight with weapons. While she wouldn't be conscripted as a girl, the old man thought she could do in a pinch if Northanchor was ever raided.
Valenthia also learned to sail in hopes of someday finding her father, a beautiful elf with the surname of Varisk. Valenthia often dreamed that he was an elven prince from a kingdom far across the sea. Valenthia left Northanchor when her mother passed at the age of 66 years. Selling all of their belongings, Valenthia left to find her own way in the world, and perhaps to find her father.
It is the hope of finding him that has led her to Greyhawk, for she had heard a rumor of a rumor that such an elf had been spotted in a tavern there.
