Name: Lacha Dawntracker
Colour: Slategray
Level: 3
Experience: 900 EXP
Gold: 900 GP
Race: Levian
Class: Magician
Gender: Female
Age: 23
Alignment: Good[------|------]Evil ---------- Neutral
Element: Water
Items: None.
Appearance:
At first glance, Lacha seems like an ordinary human, albeit with nearly-white wavy hair which reaches down to her chest. She is not a very tall person, at around 5'5'', but her figure is slim and her face is long and slender. However, with a closer look, one can see the features of a Levian. Tribalistic markings creep over her skin from under her garments while her eyes are of a blue-grey colour. Her light hair, characteristic of a Levian, seems to have blue tints and shines silver like the sea. Lacha's clothes of various azure shades are not designed to protect the wearer from blunt physical attacks, but they are made from a valuable material which is very flexible and extremely difficult to tear or cut. Its flexibility is especially useful if the wearer wishes to change his or her form as the material will follow the shape-shifting, whether it be into a Leviathan or disintegrating into water. Furthermore, the material is able to adapt to temperature, making it surprisingly warm on cold days.

Biography:
Lacha was raised in a remote village of Levians on the southern coast of Grazus which rarely had visitors. The visitors that did come were also Levians. Lacha had had a quiet childhood, when the history of Human discrimination and Orc attacks were only stories passed on from her grandfather. She had never seen a Human or an Orc or any other kind of being before apart from in books. Her father was firm but kind and her mother busy but caring, and although with no siblings, as a child Lacha had many friends. However the turning point in her life was after her 12th birthday.
The most significant trait of the Levian race is their transformation into Leviathans following the lunar cycle. In this village, children took special potions to surpress their transformations until their 12th birthday. A young Levian's first transformation was a moment of celebration in the village.
It was nearly time for Lacha's first transformation. Her skin was rippling slightly just like the grownups' and her insides were feeling queasy. The moon was about to become a beautiful perfect circle.
On the big night, the villagers were gathered around the big roaring fire in the square. The younger Levians had already taken their doses of potion and been sent to bed. Lacha was standing timidly near the fire; she could hear every crackle and feel the wafts of heat against her face. All eyes were either upon her or staring up at the darkening, clear sky. Then her body began to quiver.
The moon had reached its peak. All around, the other villagers were transforming into Leviathans. Although they looked ferocious, they also looked elegant and majestic. Some transformed quicker than others and began slinking down towards the moonlit sea.
However, Lacha had fallen to her knees with her arms wrapped around her middle. She felt such a sharp pain inside her it was unbearable. Her skin was rippling like crazy and patches were turning blue but there was no sign of transformation. She started to cry from the excruciating pain which was taking over her body. Her mother and father, both of whom had already transformed, inspected their daughter worriedly. It was usual for the younger Levians to take longer with the process but they had never seen anybody in so much pain.
Lacha's condition stayed the same for three days. She could not even sleep as the moment she drifted off she woke up to the agony. All the other villagers had already transformed back and it would be a month until the moon returned to the same point. Lacha's parents watched over her day and night as she lay in her bed, until the third night when Lacha suddenly stopped crying. Her skin relaxed and the pain subsided. Then she felt her body shift and stretch as she transformed into the snake-like creature she was supposed to have become three nights before. Her parents were relieved that their daughter had recovered, but Lacha had already fallen asleep from exhaustion in her Leviathan form.
The pain happened every month. Some of the other villagers suggested that Lacha should take the potion again, but others said it would only make things worse. The other children in the village stayed away from the girl, believing she had a disease. Lacha became more and more reserved and felt isolated.
As Lacha grew, the pain became less and her transformation quicker. By the time she was 17, she would usually transform within a day but now it would often not match the lunar cycle. Her transformations had become unpredictable and she rarely remembered anything from while she was in her Leviathan state. Many of the villagers avoided her, as "the cursed girl who cannot transform". One day, a rare visitor came to the village to trade. Lacha asked if she could leave the village with them. "Take me away from here," she said. She was offered a ride to the market town, where she would see her first Humans and start her travels.
At the age of 23, Lacha's transformations are nearly smooth. It still takes slightly longer than the average Levian but now the pain is almost non-existant. She has not returned to her village since, but she aims to master her transformation before going home and she still has much to learn about the outside world.
