Amalya Altrix (Uh-mall-E-yuh All-tricks)
Amalya Altrix (a.k.a. Molly)
A once small and bullied child, Amalya Altrix grew up in a quaint farming village grove in Elsland. She was well loved at home but her peers were not as kind to her. The young girl was born with long, pointed ears and the other children went out of their way to make sure she knew she was a misfit among them. Midget Elf and Knife-eared runt among other things were commonly shouted her way. She would attempt to stand up for herself but frequently failed, leaving her to go crying home to her family. Her mother would always console her. She would often tell that her ears were a beautiful part of her; something special to be loved.
However, she was more special than she realized.
Her home was quiet and fruitful, but of course that wouldn't last when someone wants to take advantage of a peaceful land. Amalya and her family, among many others, soon were being heavily taxed and overrun by an awful, entitled noble. They started to suffer; the people were getting sick from overworking and dying from exhaustion. Amalya didn't want the same to happen to her family so she decided to step up to the bully. She put herself in harms way, standing up for the people of her grove - including the ones that mistreated her in her youth.
In a fit of passion and inspiration, something coursed through her body. She called out the tyrant and pointed at them with accusations of taking advantage of their town, but something burst from her hand and struck them!
Young Amalya killed them where they stood.
She was immediately shocked but realized that she needed to leave quickly. Rioting ensued and Amalya's name rang through the air in this act of defiance. She managed to escape the hands of the guards and head back home in time to warn her family. Amalya, now considered a murderer, found that she needed to leave for safety and her family decided to leave Moonbright to avoid capture. Everything happened so fast and she grabbed what little she could before splitting ways with her family, never seeing them again...

Presently, this young Halfling is a vagrant trying to run from the horrors of what happened back home and harness the magic coursing through her. Anyone who comes across Amalya tends to leave with a smile on their face. She brings out the good in people and she does her best to put on an encouraging attitude. Carefree and compassionate, the young Halfling almost always carries herself with a smile! Amalya truly works hard and does her best to keep pushing forward. Spreading that optimistic outlook and keeping bellies full are her utmost priority in life where ever life may take her. Protecting people from harm’s way is incredibly important to her and she wants to make sure she can do just that...
She knows one day she wants to return back to Moonbright and to hopefully see her family again, but she's afraid that the followers of the murdered tyrant were still in power over her town. This lead her to the newfound goal of not only taking control and learn more of this newly discovered sorcery in her blood but to finding strength in allies to help her cause back home as well.
