Quarath Yaz’za
Description
Quarath Yaz’za poses a slender figure in pragmatic leather garb. The dark elf’s lean form hasn’t lost its feminine curvature, but her narrow face and solemn expression hardens any womanly softness. Though it may be unusual in the Lower Kingdom, Quarath grasps a finely carved short bow. A cloak breaks only for a quiver filled with crow-fletched arrows. Her light armor and leather clothing parts to expose dark iron-gray flesh taut with lithe muscle. Sewn onto her breast in glittering spider silk is the emblem of the upstart House Xaniqos. Red eyes, typical of the drow, glow with constant and well-disciplined focus. Whatever the target and goal of this scion of ambition, she will not miss.
History
This drow warrior was raised with her sister for the past 108 years. They ate, slept, trained, and fought together as one mind and spirit. Her older sister showed greater aptitude with the sword while her marksmanship with a traditional bow made the two a deadly mercenary pair. Her sister provided defense while Quarath brought foes down from afar regardless of the often confining caverns and tunnels of the Stone Forest. They were born into the relatively minor clan of Xaniqos. When the house began to grow in power across Cael, they lent their aid to its precision internecine attacks and takeovers. While not of noble birth, Quarath and her sister conduct themselves as if they were and are held in high regard for their combat skills. In the course of their lives, their ability at pure combat has alienated many male drow who have no other recourse. Military opportunities that would otherwise go to a man are given instead to the sisters. Thus, they have earned the resentful enmity of many male drow warriors. But the Xaniqos matrons love them and Quarath expects to rise with her sister through their victories.
Personality
Quarath is not a frail creature but she is cautious at all times, agoraphobic it seems. She is more than happy to stand behind her sister, as she was raised and how she trained for decades now. Without her sister and the broad shield she bears, Quarath feels open and vulnerable.
Goals
Quarath will actually take up the path of the arcane archer, requiring her to first multi-class as a sorcerer (4th-level in both fighter and sorcerer classes) before pursuing that prestige class.
