Personal history
Shaela was one of the 3,000 Elves of Al Qahara, that lived in a hidden cavern deep within the Raurin Desert, in Southeast Faerun. They lived an isolated life, but trade with the desert oasis settlements was common enough that to see a group of armed Elves turning up didn’t raise any cause for alarm.
She showed an aptitude for combat at an early age, and under her father, Erevan’s tutelage, Shaela learnt to use many weapons, her favourite being her father’s Double-Bladed Scimitar. It would be hers, one day, but for now, the Longsword he gave her will have to do. On that fateful day, when Tiamat and her Thunder of Dragons broke through into the Material Plane, the Blue Flight invaded the Raurin Desert. Shaela watched as an Elder Blue Dragon burst up from under the city, laying waste to everything in its path as more of the creatures spewed forth from the burrow the big one had caused.
Shaela’s mother was lost in that initial assault, and Shaela’s betrothed fell not long after that; in an attempt to save his two children, Erevan thrust his Double-Bladed Scimitar into Shaela’s hands and commanded her to find her sister, Sumi, and protect her at all costs. She did as she was told, knowing that Sumi would be deeper within the cavern, in the underground oasis. She rushed to find her safe from harm, as of yet, the dragons hadn’t made it this far into the cavern. There was a secret way out, leading from this oasis, and Shaela led her sister through it, hoping to get to relative safety.
They stepped out into what could only be described as Hell. The entire sky raged with dark lightning clouds and large swathes of the desert had been turned into wicked spikes of glass from the endless lightning strike and swirling tornados ravaged the land for as far as the sisters could see. In the distance, Shaela could see a brood of younger blues heading their way, it was over, there was no way that she could protect Sumi from that many dragons, she’d failed her father. She gathered her sister into her arms, calming her down as the world around them fell apart. But this was not how the Amakiir sisters would fall, both were teleported to Haven, where Shaela remembers her promise to her father, and vows to keep Sumi safe at all costs.

Personality Characteristics
Motivation
After the fall of Faerun, Bahamut, the Platinum Dragon, felt like he should’ve done more to prevent Tiamat’s rise. He grew angry for his inaction, and over a short period of time, his entire personality changed. No longer would he be bound by a sense of law and justice, he began to refer to himself as Bahamut, the Vengeance Bringer, and he reached out to Shaela to be his first new champion.
Shaela aims to start a sect of Bahamut’s new religion, she’s not entirely sure how she is going to do this, so will need some help along the way.
