Valadhiel Tereva

History
Valadhiel is the youngest daughter to Kalatar and Merethyl Tereva. She was born in the Deepmist and was raised on the Knights of Tereva life style with her older sister Valindra and Griffon companion Nyra by her side. Growing up they enjoyed exploring the forests and flying just above the tree canopies. Valadhiel would sing songs together with her Mother and Sister, earning her the nickname of "Little Nightingale" and had an intense passion for flying with her father and his companion Noctus. She was free spirited and hardly every wore her shoes as she believed walking the forest floor in its natural state was almost like being the first to ever discover the area.

At the age of 10 after the Knights of Tereva had believed to had slain the last of the chromatic dragons, tragedy struck. Klauth, a red dragon, attacked the Deepmist in an act of vengeance. Him alone would have been an easy feat for the Knights of Tereva but with him came specters of blue flame and unearthly hounds. Young Valadhiel watched in fear as one of these specters approached her father Kalatar and asked him "Where is she?". Kalatar weakly swung his sword at the ghastly man but it found no purchase and was slain where he lay. The specter's eyes met Valadhiel's with a flash of purple as he drew his blade from Kalatar's back. It was then that Riders of Rhiannon entered the fray. They were able to beat back this mysterious and wicked prescence and save Valadhiel from it all. The Deepmist was no longer inhabitable, so the few remaining Knights of Tereva, Valadhiel inncluded, were brought to the Shylmista for refuge.

Valadhiel would have a hard time adjusting to life in the Shylmista at first. She had trouble comprehending the sharp turn her life had took at such a young age. After adjustments in her mentality and through Tel'Atar Andronel's kindness she and Nyra had come to accept their current situation, and repay the kind elves for the Shylmista for taking them in when they needed a home. Through these acts of service Valadhiel became familiar with every face of the Shylmista.

Valadhiel's adventures outside of the Shylmista begin when Shayleigh disappears one morning. Val agrees to go leave with Tarathiel to help him search for information on where his mother might have gone and to break away from the village life.

 * Pelleas:
 * Valadhiel's first partner in crime since arriving at the Shylmista. Pelleas tagged along and tolerated many of Val's antics through their teenaged years, including pastry heists and bear cub rescue missions. He developed feelings for her that she didn't reciprocate. After she let him down they have had steadily drifted apart which was not lost on Val. She will still forever be thankful for the role he played in rekindling her passion for music through his lute.
 * Shayleigh:
 * In her early days of getting to know elves of the Shylmista, Valadhiel spent many days in Shayleigh's company. Shayleigh was pregnant with her son Tarathiel when Valadhiel met her. Valadhiel has always thought her to be a mysterious woman. Despite this Valadhiel has always been able to rely on Shayleigh for support as one of the only other elves who were not born in the Shylmista. Shayleigh understood what it meant to be homesick for a place you couldn't go back to, and although Val didn't understand why exactly Shayleigh could not return to her home, she wanted very much to be there for her in the way Shayleigh always had been for Val.
 * Tarathiel:
 * Tarathiel is Val's closest friend. She looked out for him as a young half elf among elves. She treated him with kindness and never truly understood why that was hard for some of the other elves to do. Val hiding from the responsibilities she bestowed upon herself would often find Tarathiel in the woods surrounding the Shylmista. They built a treehosue together on the outskirts where they spend time together away from the hustle and bustle of the Shylmista. She finds Tarathiel's company calming where most other interactions eventually can become overwhelming for her. Something about having someone she can depend on without feeling like a burden is very comforting to her. Val considers Tarathiel to be very smart and in tune with nature, through he can be stubborn. He keeps her grounded when she gets anxious and in return she watches his back when he needs it
