Altera's Character Biographies

Name: Altera Nightside
Nickname: Tera, Ter
Race: Human
Gender: Female
Age: 21
Appearance: Pale skin, white hair, amber eyes. Normally seen in an Angel Avengers cheerleader outfit and Turducken Hunter hat
Weapons: Usually fights Unarmed or with her Bladed Pom-Pom of the Avenged
Personality: Calm, polite though she speaks with a casual tone... until you break her oven or trash her garden or call her Al.
Bio: Out of the three, Altera is, at first, the most approachable and personality wise, the most balanced. Skilled in both armed and unarmed combat, she uses her speed to take down her enemies.
Backstory: The daughter of a chef and a florist, Altera was disciplined in both trades before settling on becoming a warrior, having come to the conclusion that since she had two younger siblings with more talent at these trades than her own above average skills, she would train to protect them. When her family moved away from Greenguard Forest, she stayed, as the family business had grew to the point where her family members hired mercenaries to protect them instead, making her skills redundant in their eyes. She sold her stake in the family business and bought a small cottage on the outskirts of Battleon. With her childhood friends, Velsper and Ric, she used it as a base for her travels as she worked on her comprehensive recipe book of Lore, later meeting with and befriending a fellow traveler, Aotearoa Kiwi, who also accompanied her on some of her travels. However this dream was stalled when Sepulchure attacked Swordhaven and the three friends were forced to choose between Good and Evil, with Altera and Ric siding with Good, Velsper with Evil, leading to a falling out between Ric and Velsper and the eventual destruction of Nova Cottage. Now working with both Good and Evil, Altera serves as a mediator between the two factions and hopes to repair the broken bonds between her two closest friends. She now operates from Midhaven Keep, built on the foundations of her former home and specially protected from damages caused by her friends' duels, spending her free time baking cookies or tending to her collection of Lorian flora.
Additional Details: Just don't call her Al, no one knows where she got the nitroglycerin soaked sponge from the last time.
