About Heehk

by Heehk

Heehk was born to a small Aarakocra tribe in a western forest, where she spent the first couple years of her life with her family. At the ripe age of two however everything changed when she was drafted into the local army, to fight a growing power in the west. She was trained to deliver messages between outposts for the military, sometimes flying for days at a time. Heehk became fascinated with writing and examining the ink markings on the paper she carried. On her long flights she would try to decipher the contents of her packages hoping to learn to read herself. After a year of service she decided that she would rather spend her time learning than relaying army messages. Near the time of the army’s final siege against the war lord, she went AWOL and flew off to start her life and pursue her dreams.
 
She spent the next couple years studying and researching, before joining a group of adventurers, hoping to learn some practical skills to compliment her book smarts, and perhaps make some friends along the way. And of course always looking for more texts to read.
 
She is extremely claustrophobic, and that proved fatal when she had a panic attack in the dungeon that fateful day, fleeing and abandoning her friends. After she learned what happened to Helper in her absence, she was overcome with guilt.
