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)? (150 words minimum)

Ilohna believed herself to be adequately hidden amidst the other passengers. Tucked between a stouter individual whose breath clung with the sticky aroma of the local pipeweed, and a Greatling she dared not meet the face of, she is startled to find herself the object of this particular woman’s attention.
“.. P-”
“Pardon?”
A faint blush emerges to her cheeks as she realizes she had missed an inquiry. Her mentors had taught her better than to let herself get lost daydreaming. That’d normally earn her a solid hit on her knuckles, but this woman only laughs. Seeing her eyes pinch in mirth makes Ilohna feel a bit better about her fumbling.
“I am here to earn my mark!” she answers eagerly after having the question repeated to her.
After receiving a puzzled look in return, the girl takes a moment to gather her thoughts before explaining in a calmer tone.
“Fledglings must ascend a summit by themselves before they can be recognized as a mature member of the community. All of the peaks around our temple have already been marked by others, so I wanted one that will only have mine. Someplace no one else has ever set foot on- someplace utterly new and foreign, that it’ll be something spoken about for ages!”
It’s a lofty goal, but there is a fiery ambition in her eyes, leaving no question of her determination to see it through.
Character Name: Ilohna
Character Race: Nua Sidhe (Falstoner)
Character Age: Seventeen
Brief Physical Description: A girl whose bright-eyed curiosity betrays the depths of her youth and naivete. Ilohna is constantly at odds with her own height, which measures at 5’1” and is only marginally amended by her tight posture. Chestnut strands are tucked beneath a beaded headdress and formed into a braid. Pieces of ironwork decorate her neck and wrists, heirlooms passed down to her by the craftsmen of her home. Each step is accented by the soft chime of metal striking against each other. Both her eyes possess markings underneath, demonstrating her dedication to her faith.
