Ysilla the Emerald Dart
Physical Description
Identifying Characteristics
Ysilla is a striking heroine with ethereal features that reflect her connection to mysterious energies. Her aura has a faint, almost iridescent quality, shimmering subtly in moonlight, and her three eyes are a vivid Silver, giving her a gaze that can appear both comforting and otherworldly. She wears a uniform of green leathers that contrasts the sky around her when she glides through the air, and her snow-white hair flows behind her like a banner when in flight. Ysilla often decorates her armor with fresh foliage and small trinkets gifted to her by the people she protects—flowers, charms, and tokens that symbolize her connection to the land and its people.

Personal history
At 29 years old, the Remnari Ysilla has become a beacon of hope for the scattered settlements of the Southern Frontiers. Born in the depths of the Sapphire Weald, she grew up attuned to the currents of Magic and the natural world, gaining the skills to become a guardian of her homeland. Early on, she realized her abilities gave her a unique advantage—her capacity to soar above the treetops, to see beyond what most could, and to intervene when injustice threatened the innocent. This led her to leave the relative safety of the Weald to defend the people who lived on its fringes.
The Southern Frontiers are a region plagued by outlaws, marauding beasts, and the occasional Rogue agents from within the Empire itself. With law and order often spread too thin to reach these far-flung villages, Ysilla took it upon herself to become a protector. Over Time, she became a kind of folk heroine—the "White Raven of the South," as some have called her. Stories of her deeds spread by word of mouth: how she swoops down upon bandits from above, her blades flashing like lightning, and carries villains off to the nearest outpost that has a suitable cell to hold them.
Her exploits have inspired both fear and admiration. To the settlers, she is a guardian spirit, a living legend who fights for those who cannot defend themselves. To those who live on the wrong side of the law, she is a ghost—an unpredictable force that strikes without warning, leaving them bound and delivered to justice. She operates with little regard for the bureaucratic procedures of the Empire, relying instead on her own sense of justice and the goodwill of the local militias. The Empire, in turn, has adopted a complicated stance toward her; while some officials view her as a nuisance, others recognize the value she brings in pacifying a difficult-to-govern region.
Morality & Philosophy
Ysilla is driven by an unwavering belief in the importance of community and mutual care. She is fiercely independent but has a deep affection for the people of the frontier—their resilience, their stories, and their ways of life. This empathy is what compels her to act, to throw herself into danger for the sake of others. She has a strong sense of justice, though it is often at odds with the more rigid, bureaucratic laws of the Tatharian Empire. Ysilla values freedom above all, for herself and for those she protects, and she harbors a deep mistrust of those who seek to impose their will on others through coercion or force.
Despite her heroic reputation, Ysilla is not without her struggles. The burden of being a lone protector weighs on her—the fear that she cannot be everywhere at once, that someone may suffer because she was not there in Time. She carries this quietly, seldom sharing her doubts with anyone. When she does find moments of peace, it is often in the company of those she has helped, sharing a meal or listening to stories by a fire, finding solace in the simple joys of life on the frontier.
Ysilla’s dedication to her cause has made her both loved and feared, and she walks the line between legend and reality, knowing that her actions shape the hope of the people she protects. She is the embodiment of the wild, unbroken spirit of the Southern Frontiers—a spirit that refuses to bow, refuses to break, and fights for a world where the vulnerable can live without fear.
