Accomplishments & Achievements
Finding her faith - Vola and her family weren't always religious. She found the teachings of Celestana after a famine that swept across her village and made it her life's work to pursue those beliefs and teachings and to help others the way she's always wanted to. Even bringing those same beliefs to her mother and father who joined her years later.
Becoming a High Priestess - Through the next few decades, they went by mostly with no real successes in way of her carer. However, upon continuing to heal others and travel north towards Ashen she was able to finally achieve her dream. Upon entering the Steel Soul Monastery she was put to the test, testing not only her faith but her ability as a caster to serve as the Monastery's High Priestess and to serve as the leader of their Healing Ward, an occupation she's always wanted in life.
Marriage - It was in those days in the Monastery that she would see many faces, however, one would stick in her mind for the years to come. One of the now masters, or at the time a student of the Monastery named Casah Shariz would be a face that she wouldn't just see often, but love seeing as the years went by.
Failures & Embarrassments
Relationships: Vola, while she's not the most sociable person out of everyone in the monastery or the world, has been in relationships before her current one. However, leading up to everything, there was a small event that took place to complicate her weeks. One day many years ago before she married her wife or even tried to develop a relationship beyond what they had at the time, a traveler came. An attractive woman that apparently really enjoyed Vola's company, so much so that a rumor started around the monastery by the youngest monks that Vola was already to be wed to this new traveler. The news hearing the masters within a day Casah, one of the masters and Vola's future partner, heard the news and decided to play a large prank on Vola. Spending a few days she talked with this traveler and the two hatched a plan. Both getting rings to be presented to Vola, she would have to choose...in front of the entire monastery at dinner. And so the plan was set. At midnight when the prayer was finished and dinner was served both this traveler and Casah kneeled at the same time in front of Vola as she entered the dining hall. That Night Vola was so stunned that she cast a Word of Recall, and hid inside of the temple for around 2 weeks until found by Casah.

Religious Views
Vola is a very divout follower of Celestana. She believes that life takes priority, and that those that would oppose life are innatly evil. Creatures such as abominations or demons, especilly those of hostile, otherworldy nature to her are seen as a threat and a danger to herself and those around her.
Social Aptitude
Vola possesses a small speech impediment explained in the mannerisms portion. She's confident when it comes to talk about potions, tonics and other healing salves and is well versed in the written portions of Celestana's teachings and at times will even lead the monks in prayer. However, out side of those occasions and when she isn't treating a patient at the healer's ward she is a fairly shy indevidual. Off set by her wife Shariz, she will stay by her side but when she can she will sneak away to get some time alone to star gaze or simply just listen to conversations and not talk at all. When spoken to however she is polite and will attempt to talk with varrying degrees of success.
Mannerisms
When speaking, Vola doesn't have perfect common. She will at times switch back to elvish for a sentance or two before reverting back to common tongue. However when she does speak in Common Tongue, Every "TH" sound is replaced a "Z" sound and ever "WH" is replaced with a "V" sound.
Hobbies & Pets
With no pets to speak of (discounting her wife) her main hobby includes reading. Reading mostly holy texts or those pertaining to tonics, she spends most of her time inside the Healer's Ward within the Monastery. Spending her time healing others and creating brew that may elleviate the strain on a person's injuries even if only for a short time.
Speech
Vola's main tone of voice is one of an assertive parent in the Healer's ward or a worried passerby when outside of her Ward. A slightly higher pitched voice with an elven cadence to it implies that she mostly speaks elvish and hasn't seemed to shake the impediment she's hade from birth. Listed in the Mannurisms section, certain vocal patterns will come out different, changing the "Wh" and "TH" sounds respectivly. No real catch prases to speak of, save for the occasional comment to keep in the healers ward for a day or so she compliments more than she insults and she seldom compliments. Swearing also seeming to be far out of her vocabulary her main greetings include, "Good day" or, "Hello" while her farewells are a tad different ranging form, "Good day" again to, "And Starlight bless you"
