Cara the Cleric

Appearance
Cara Casta has a pleasant appearance consisting of brown hair and blue eyes. She has a medium build. You can tell she is no stranger to hard work.

Personality
Cara is a kind soul with a never-give-up attitude. Growing up with several siblings in a loving family, she is unselfish and doesn't take things for granted. She appreciates when people take the time to pay attention to her, but never expects it or seeks it. All she does is for the greater good.

Background
Growing up in the small village of Brookland, near the Eastern edge of the Great Southern Forest, she spent most of her time with her large family of brothers, sisters, and cousins. It was a loving family where she learned how to settle disputes calmly and fairly. She had little interaction with the rest of the village other than town festivals and church services near the local Helenite Shrine.

The Cloaks

When the Cloaks traveled from Fairwater to Howling Rise at the beginning of the Year Hiatus, Steven and Max were recruiting acolytes of Helena to assist with expanding the influence of Helena in the Southern Region, and met Cara. She joined the travelers and left home to move to Howling Rise to assist with the building of a new temple. During this time, Steven personally asked Cara to assist him and Bethanne with caring for Aurelia during her sickness. Cara had been noticed for her skill with medicine and counseling. From then on, her and Bethanne and Aurelia have become best friends. Cara even traveled with The Cloaks South of the Mountains to the Ashen Forest to find a cure for her cursed ailment. Cara has SEEN SOME SHIT. Word of her deeds and support of important events has spread home and her family and hometown is very proud of her accomplishments, although Cara is very modest and dismissive.

Adventuring
Since Aurelia's mental recovery, Cara has remained close with her and Bethanne, and the three of them are rarely apart for long. Cara has supported multiple Ranger expeditions as a Life Cleric and medic and has received high praise for her poise and abilities. She has progressed quickly and Brother Max has communicated back to Fairwater Cathedral multiple times to report on her faithful dedication to Helena and her rapid growth in power as a Cleric. Cara just takes it all in stride and gives all credit to Helena. Cara remains close with Steven as well, they share the bond of coming from the same home town and she is thankful that he recruited her to come to Howling Rise.
