Crayon Awards: Favorite New Female Persona (August 2012)

Physical Description of Persona:
She has long, dark blond hair which looks almost brown in some lights and a pixie-like face. Her chin is pointed, her nose is a narrow and a bit long and she has an infectious grin. She is short for her age and thin.

Emotional Description of Persona:
Yarlna has a barely suppressed sense of adventure which gets her into trouble sometimes. She also has a raging sense of curiosity and is much more impulsive than is good for her. All this is balanced by a strong sense of loyalty and responsibility; when something is important to her, nothing will keep her from it.

History of Persona:
Yarlna was born the oldest child and only daughter of a pair of cotholders living in a loose collection of cots beholden to Emerald Falls Hold. Growing up, her days were spent doing chores around her family's cothold, playing with her brothers and attending weekly harper lessons.

Starting when she was about seven turns old, she began having spells where she had difficulty sleeping through the night. At first, her parents tried to make her sleep. They tried forcing her to stay in her bed, they tried threats, pleading, eventually even going so far as to request the aid of a healer. But, nothing short of being drugged could make her sleep when she was having one of these bouts of insomnia. After a while, her parents gave in and simply made sure that she had something productive to do.

Despite this, however, Yarlna has had a fairly typical childhood. Until she met Jenackt, that is.
