Hera Fayerweather

"Balance in all things."

Hera Beyers (former alias Hera Reynolds) was born in the year 6 L.C. to Murphy Beyers and Regina (Lawson) Beyers of Ambermill, Silverpine Forest.

In the five years since her affliction, Hera has consistently studied the adverse affects of magic on plant life while also maintaining several positions within various organizations. Currently, Hera serves as an explorer under the Ravenwood Company.

Early Life
Ambermill held the best of both worlds; stable employment for Hera's father in transporting lumber to Lordaeron City and anonymity in the times of the Dark Portal. Although the family had land and titles through House Lawson, the House looked poorly on Regina's witch practices. The family also held little allegiance to Gilneas, though Ambermill was considered under Darius Crowley's control, as they had learned early from their noble ties of the plan to remove Ambermill from Gilneas with the Greymane Wall. Hera's father held no land or titles as a commoner from Stromgarde City.

Over several years, Hera's father developed a relationship with an elderly man who purchased the wood he delivered to Lordaeron City. Acolyte John Reynolds, as Murphy would learn, was the last of his surname save for his recently deceased son (unknown causes). When the Alcolyte passed, Murphy saw the opportunity to claim the farmstead Reynolds owned on Brightwater Lake in Tirisfal Glades along with his family as he assumed the son's name.

Hera continued to take easily to her mother's teachings of nature magic to further crop growth. As their family remained secretive, she longed for companionship outside of her two younger brothers. Defying her family's wishes, Hera grew fond of a boy named Gregory Coalmane of Brill who frequently visited Brightwater Lake.

Young Adulthood
At 17 years of age, the Third War rampaged across Lordaeron and took victim both Hera's mother and her youngest brother, Aiden. Both were converted to Forsaken when the plague spread to Tirisfal Glades, and in a twist of fate, the Scarlet Crusade forcefully claimed Hera's father and surviving brother to fight against the undead threat while Hera and Gregory stowed off to Southshore.

Gregory's talent for blacksmithing gave the pair a decent means to live by in Southshore while Hera's magical affinity aided the defense against Tarren Mill. In her free time, Hera worked alongside Aranae Venomblood studying the effects of the plague on plant life and animals. (( WORK IN PROGRESS ))

Fate's Resolve
One of the many Hillsbrad refugees at Fenris Isle who decided that the curse was favorable to resurrection by the Val'kyr under the Forsaken. She had taken fate into her own hands; and continues to do so as her healing and destructive powers hold life in balance.

Moonlight's Kin
Although never formally gifted the title, Hera was acknowledged at birth for her radiant ivory skin. Other children teased her with ghost-related nicknames, but the kaldorei saw it as a blessing from Elune. Several variations of the title include: Moon's Daughter, Mother Moon's Child, and Moon Skin.
