Fylariea Talvethren

Fylariea Talvethren's birthplace is indeterminate, as prior to moving to Starbreeze Village when she was about six or seven, the census records of Darnassus were not established until a year after Teldrassil's growth. Her father, Gaerolas Talvethren, was assigned when Fyl was young to be the Keeper of the Ban'ethil Barrow Dens, bringing his daughter with him.

During her stay at Starbreeze, she became beloved as one of the few young'ns who actually lived in Starbreeze itself, becoming a sort of 'village daughter', which was convenient as her father was rarely home do to his duties. As such, she had an abnormally free reign of the forest, usually keeping to herself-although when she did interact with others it was in-depth and heartfelt enough that it felt as if she never left. She spent much of her time roaming the woods curiously, exploring. And while others came of age, and went to begin their studies in Shadowglen, she stayed behind, too young to go. She still kept her many friendships, however, picking up some tricks when she sat in on the study groups the students would form.

She grew from 'beloved village daughter' to 'village prankster' extraordinarily quickly, taking her side-leaned knowledge of druidism and using it to her advantage. She constantly layed pranks for her friends and fellow citizens, most of which were funny and harmless, although a few did land her in trouble, such as the Temple incident.* She quickly learned who was susceptible to being pranked and diverted her attention to those people in particular, who quickly grew to both love and hate the girl. The rest of the village found it exceedingly hilarious, although not usually in the presence of those pranked.

Then, one day, during one of the few times when her father came home to visit her, Gnarlpine furbolg invaded her town. Her father smiled to her, kissed her, and put her in the safespace in the floor, promising that he would return. He went upstairs to attempt to aid the repulsion efforts with his astral magic.

He never returned for her.

After a long, lonely, and terrifying night for the girl in the crawlspace, her savior came the next afternoon in the form of a druid, sent from Dolanaar to see why Gaerolas hadn't reported for work that day. This druid sniffed her out, retrieving her from the crawl space and questioning just what had happened to the village. She was shocked to see most of the buildings were now near-destroyed, only a few of them left standing. The druid took her to Shadowglen for safekeeping before departing.

Her friends, upon hearing her plight, advocated to induct her into druidism. The teachers, having been victims of her pranks themselves, mostly strongly objected, but the general tutor, Ilthalaine, brought her under his wing. She studied with him for around a decade before she left Shadowglen, setting out into the world to explore.
