Description: A gilded confection from the top of head to the tip of feet, a glow seemed to vibrate and hum about her person from deep within, such was her coloration. Past slim shoulders to a gentle burgeoning of hips did the waves of her sunshine mane fall in a mixture of largely loose parts patterned with various braids. The ends of these tiny strands were tasseled with a mixture of pale feathers that blended into the natural highlights caused by her time out of doors. Often troubled by errant curls, this healer's gaze was a trap of slickly sticky proportions as the honeyed drizzle caught the light in a warm invitation of silent conversation. The thick frame of lashes couldn't dim the bewitching aureate hue that glimmered with the promise of a soon to be formed smile, pearly whites shining as Leonaess was known to practically beam at most anyone she met.

Build was slight and though she may have been willowy in curvature there was still light muscle worked into torso, arms and legs giving a suggestion that she did not lead a sedentary lifestyle. Milky pale skin was unblemished and unscarred as of yet, though bits of earth and herbal matter could often be detected on the tips of fingers or palms. Scents that clung to her were flowery with the faint renewal of rain sweeping over the land, natural things that were concocted by the hills in which she roamed.

Personality: Like a breath of fresh air, Leonaess breezes through life with an easy smile and melodic laugh. Believing that most everything can be fixed with just a bit of herbal tea, the right cookie or muffin, and excellent conversation. Choosing to take bad and arrange it in such a way that it becomes another cobweb to sweep away and tackle down. Given to nose crinkling giggles and cheek colouring blushes, she is a ray of sunshine in dark places.

Background: Neither boasting the height of giants or the dark colouring of those usually found in the region known as the Cloudspine, it would suggest that she came from perhaps different stock. Bereft of parents at a rather young age, Leonaess was brought up by her great aunt who had a tidy cottage nestled in a wooded grove just outside the city. Nestled in the hills, it was a simple life where her Aunt Brennwyn was known for her skill in medicine and often assisted in providing apothecary services in the form of an herbal concoction or two. The most important lesson perhaps was the respect and homage paid to the spirits of earth and air, the in between realm of what was and what will be. Listening to both what "voices" have to say and paying attention to the beasts that roam wild, it was a mixture of druidic calling that turned Leonaess into a Daughter of the Forest, a Child of the Stars.

At the age of 17, her Aunt passed peacefully in her sleep leaving all she owned to her young charge. With the knowledge passed down both in medicine and herbal lore, Leonaess plies her services to those in need from all walks of life. Her hearth is a place of rest, her table a place where bellies are filled, and the cultivated gardens surrounding the cottage a calming stroll for those in need of a peaceful moment.

Though now 20 years of age, the stars seem to call her towards other avenues where travel might very well be a possibility. With the moon as her guide and the spirits ushering her along with a whispering quality, who knows what can be found!
