Minecraft Username: Sparkles2676
Are you at least 18 years old?: Yes
Have you read the rules? (Link): I have, and I'm also already familiar with similar rules from other servers
(Optional) How did you hear about Avalore?: From a friend
(Max. 1) Were you referred by someone? If so, please provide their in-game username: NovaComa
(Optional) Introduce yourself if you’d like, as well as any creations you want to share (e.g. art, builds, skins): My online name is Sparkles, though some people have nicknamed me as 'Spark', which I'm fine with. I really enjoy gaming in my free time, especially stuff like the sims, bg3 and WoW. I also like reading fantasy books, mystery books, and the occasional romance. Honestly my favorite book series has to be the Chronicles of Narnia, though the Hobbit book is pretty close to being my favorite book ever. I have some experience with roleplay from other servers, though I still wouldn't label myself as an "experienced roleplayer."

In-Character
Read the following prompt:
The rhythmic lull of hoofbeats are a marching drum to the small group of pioneers and variety of folk you have found yourself amongst, packed into a wobbling wagon. The rolling plains of the Southern Reach and a clear sky stretch out all around you, the buzz of excited chatter a dull wash in your ears as your mind strays to your former life and what has led you here to new lands.
“Nervous?”
You blink, returning to the present moment. A kindly older woman sat near you is smiling warmly with a crinkle to her eyes.
“I can tell it’s your first time. Still remember mine,” she flashes a grin and leans in.
“Tell me my dear, why have you come to the Reach?”
How do you respond (in character)? (250 word minimum - please make sure to include at least three references to our lore in your response, with two coming from different pages in the Compendium. Two of the three selected should also be in-depth, avoid simply name-dropping lore terms. Tie the terms into your character's backstory. Why are they important to them?)
Serimei returns a soft smile to the older woman, wishing to silently thank her for greeting her. Her gaze then averts as she ponders the question, a frown now appearing on her face. "Well..." She begins, "I honestly came here for multiple reasons. First, because I became a bit tired of my homeland. I hail from Uul'san, a part of the Ko'ram lands. As you may already know, the Odokhi reside over Uul'san. And no, I am not officially apart of the main clan, I come from a minor clan somewhere in the east. My clan always has to pay tribute to the Odokhi and aid in their conquests... Which brings me to how I lost my mother. She was one of the finest warriors in the clan, and so was sent to the Odokhi to fight in one of their wars, I think some random clan was refusing to pay tribute at the time... What a stupid war." A sigh escapes her, frustration clear through how she unknowingly clenches her teeth. "I had also always detested the landscape. It's only these rocky red mountains and hills, with dry yellow grass and not a spot of green in any direction for days. My clan always had to have food imported from Ira, a part of Ko'ram to the south of us." She pauses, sucking in a breath while her gaze moves down to the wooden floor of the wagon, some shame evident in her following words "I did not really fit in with my clan anyway. I was always known as a weakling, what with how I breathe heavier and harder than anyone my age whenever I do even a bit of exercise. So when I heard of the Southern Reach and its reputation of being a more diverse land with many different races and cultures, I got interested. Especially in the Spire Militia, which apparently allows normal citizens to join. I could convince a member to let me train under them, then join. Perhaps then I might no longer be regarded as a weakling."
