lost;; Her ability to cry.

Since she was old enough to repeat the prayers, Vera took shelter in the Church of Ages, praying to it’s Gods and trying to learn all she could. Her father was impressed by her piety and encouraged her devotion. Yet that was practically all the attention he ever gave her being; like her mother more interested and loving of her brother. Despite this, Vera loved her brother and he loved her. She did everything for him, read to him, played with him whenever she got the chance. Yet the more he grew being granted every chance possible for his future, the more she became like a ghost.

Then hard-times fell on the family, business slowed and the family was dangerously close to not being able to pay their bills. At this Vera realized that they would have a hard time just keeping her around the house--never mind her being able to get married. So she decided to leave, she told her family members that she wanted to become a priestess. Aside from her brother’s tears, there were no objections.

She was sixteen then.

Dedicating herself to Ivareen, Vera proved herself to be knowledgeable and mature beyond her years. She read whenever she could when she wasn’t performing her duties as a priestess and became quite knowledgeable in history and various other subjects. She was the happiest she had ever been. Then one day, on a whim when a rare Azuranian priestess was stationed in her temple, she asked to be taught the woman’s language. To everyone’s surprise, Vera picked up the language rather quickly and was soon having long conversations with the woman in her language. Deciding not to let this talent go to waste; it was decided that because of her ability to speak Azuranian, she was to travel to Azurane and be a missionary there. Vera didn’t want to go to a strange land and leave her‘s behind, didn’t want to leave the security of the temple--but she went without a sound.

It’s been six months since she left the temple, and in the tiny temple where she now lives in Aveen she has found no comfort. She’s the only priestess there who can speak the language of the common people, and they are having little success in conversations. Every night she cries for home.

Recently while collecting alms, a stranger dropped a journal into the basket. Realizing this, Vera called out after the person , but they were already long gone. Deciding that maybe it was a small token of the gods she decided to keep the journal, putting it on her bed stand to record her thoughts; so that maybe the passage of time would become easier.

Strangly, that night; despite how much she wanted to--she couldn't cry.

Vera is a very sweet woman. Kind, caring and humble she is the very model of a priestess. This does not mean she is naïve though, she knows the world can be a cruel place--though she in her upbringing and then in her time at the temple, has very little idea at how cruel. She’s extremely thoughtful and mature, trying to work through situations and loving of a good puzzle. She also has a strong sense of what’s right and wrong, and what demands justice. Her training to be a good Falinese woman in deeply ingrained in her, and she is always alert as to not offend others. She's a good conversation partner, and knows how to give advise and how to listen without putting anyone off.

She has a very strong will and whenever she falls, she just gets back up and continues. Though she is very emotional, she’s trained herself to feel on the inside, so that emotions unbefitting of a priestess do not physically manifest--The strongest example of this is her will to not cry unless she is alone.

Vera has a small sense of loyalty to her home country and it’s crown. However that is almost completely overshadowed by her faith in the divine. Though she does strongly believe in the saying, “The Gods help those who help themselves”.

Vera has chin-length pinkish-red hair that that has both curls and waves in it.She has golden eyes, and is about medium height. She’s soft-spoken, though very eloquent in what she says, always trying to cut to the heart of the matter. Her steps are quick, her stride long, silent, and hard to keep up with. Vera is very confortable in her own skin, nothing is heisitant about her mannerisms. She has one atocious habit however; when she sits, it doesn’t matter on what surface, she pulls her legs up and sits cross-legged.
