On Shannen
Shannen Di'rithia is an Avariel with deep, sapphire-blue eyes, slightly blue-tinted skin and short, stylish dark blue hair. As with most female Avariel, she is slender and not very tall. She says she grew up in Northern Deglos, in hiding with her parents and younger siblings, a very ornery brother Amendel Di'rithia and beautiful, vibrant sister Saphron Di'rithia.
She is an Arcane Archer and practices wizardry, preferring to focus her spells on enhancing her healing abilities and providing protections for others. She also sketches, paints, and writes in a large journal.
Long ago tormented by her extreme desire to make her late father proud, she was at constant war with her quick temper. She spent years under the guidance of her sister in faith, Da'emona working at holding her tongue and more obviously living out the values of Cha'reth. She has always loved Cha'reth and all that he stands for, and her diligence and faith carried to become a Healer and, later, and Elder Healer and Priestess of Cha'reth.
Shannen is extremely loyal and honest and can be very naive. She's naturally playful, warm and affectionate, and has no qualms about wrapping her arms around brand new friends. And old friends? Forget it. They often get mauled.
Shannen's heart belongs to Cha'reth, but one Avariel in particular has swiftly made claim there as well, Rune Amanta. Rune and Shannen were married with the blessing of Cha'reth at a Life-Bonding Ceremony in the Cha'reth Temple in Visimontium, and of Corellon at their Reception in High Priestess Rika's home, also in Visimontium.
