Aria: The Fae Hunter

Aria is a fairy from Faegrove, a chaotic forest where trees and roots constantly move, disorienting anyone not of the fey. The forest is shrouded by a thin veil causing sporadic changes in the day and night cycle due to a portal to the void corrupting the local flora and fauna. Unlike other fairies, Aria left her home driven by a sense of adventure. Concealing her wings, she learned to survive the harsh outside world by using her abilities to steal. She eventually joined a guild called the Bracers, an adventuring group that protects the weak, driven by her desire to help others and belong to the outside world.

During her time with the Bracers, Aria undertook a mission where she stole from a pirate lord to aid the less fortunate, leading to the pirate lord hunting her. She acquired a magical weapon called the Kirasu, a sickle and chain that transforms into a scythe with an extending lantern flail when fighting larger foes, gifted by a monster hunter after she proved herself and revealed her fae ancestry. Fairies in this world are about the size of dwarves but can change size at will. With the Kirasu, Aria enjoys hunting monsters and protecting the weak, embracing her role as a defender.
