L'esprit d'Audra a été balayé dans un ouragan de pensées alors que la paysanne a confirmé que cette Rowena était aussi le créateur de son rêve. Qu'est-ce qui pourrait être si important pour envoyer des rêves comme ceux-ci? Qui était cette femme? Et pourquoi choisirait-elle des gens comme la femme de campagne et Audra elle-même? Une étincelle d'orgueil tenace éclata, voulant croire qu'elle n'était pas seulement une petite fille inutile comme ses frères lui l'avaient toujours dit. Pourtant, l'incertitude a refroidi son tempérament et a semblé refroidir l'air même autour d'elle - elle n'avait rien à prouver autrement encore...
Les pensées d'Audra étaient immobiles brusquement alors qu'elle s'apercevait que Rowena la regardait : « Oh, bien. Deux autres," La fille se tourna rapidement et remarqua qu'elle n'avait pas été la seule à écouter. La femme derrière elle était habillée comme si elle était du pays aussi, ses cheveux attachés en arrière dans un pain non kempt. Audra a de nouveau affronté Rowena, laissant un souffle d'air qu'elle n'avait pas réalisé qu'elle tenait. "Je crois que les autres seront bientôt là. Mais... d'ici là, s'il vous plaît venez avec moi."
Audra, sentant un éclat de bravoure qui l'excitait et la surprenait, demanda: «Quand comptez-vous nous dire ce qui se passe? Comment savons-nous que nous pouvons ou même devrions vous faire confiance?"
Name: Audra Hesten
Element: Wind/Weather
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Appearance: *Picture to come* Two things immediately draw your eye when you see Audra: (1) her deep red hair and (2) her small, boyish build (5'1"). Her skin is very pale, despite working outside daily (a mystery to the Hesten family, and oftentimes yet another point of ridicule), but her grey/green eyes only stand out even more strikingly because of this. Her mood can be measured by the color of her eyes, as when she is content and happy they favor a greener shade, but when she is angry they turn grey to match her inner emotional storm. Because she is usually out in the orchards with her brothers, Audra usually ends up wearing their hand-me-down work shirts and pants, which only end up hanging pitifully on her thin frame, despite her mother's efforts to tailor them smaller. She wears her hair down and free as much as she can (which reaches the bottom of her shoulder blades), but will wear it in a braid to keep it out of the way as she goes about her work.
Theme Song: Still being determined, but it'll be great. Fear not!
Nature: Audra has a spunky, fiery nature to match her red hair. She speaks her mind and is a passionate, adventurous soul. She feels semi-obsessively driven to prove herself, to prove that she can do things just as well or better than everyone else. She is also mischievous and will likely not pass up an opportunity for a good prank. She has a short temper and holds grudges. While she likes to be the center of attention, she really does make an incredibly loyal friend.
Backstory: Audra hails from the farmlands of Diedremere, where she and her family make their living off of the fruit orchards that had passed through the seemingly innumerable family generations. Every Hesten was expected to work that very land until they no longer lived, according to ancient tradition. Audra, however, was never satisfied to be tied down by this tradition. Her family have often felt exasperated with her dreams of leaving to live a life of adventure, a notion which seems pointless and frankly unimaginable to them. Her 5 older brothers (Audra had arrived as a surprise to her family 10 years after the youngest boy) would tease her as they all worked together tending the orchards, enjoying the fiery, indignant responses from their only sister. Audra was oftentimes overlooked outside of these moments of ridicule, however, for many reasons. Her small body was much weaker and slower than her brothers, causing them to generally just do things themselves rather than wait for her. This, however, would spark her competitive and stubborn spirit, and she would try to keep up and do things herself, no matter the cost to her.
Despite these things, Audra loved her family deeply, but just wanted to be able to have them see her as their equal. They basically only saw her as helpful when they needed someone to climb to the top of the trees to grab the high and hidden fruit there. This Audra loved to do, as she loved the feeling of being high up and feeling the wind blow through her hair and through the treetops. To her, it felt as if every breeze whispered to her of better things, and it became her inner symbol of the freedom she so desperately sought. Oftentimes when Audra felt like being alone, that is where she would go: to the treetops to imagine the wind telling her of the adventure and freedom that lay far beyond the orchards.
And oh the stories the wind told.
They told her of leaving the farm, of really making herself into something amazing. She didn't even have what she wanted to do or where she wanted to go clearly defined in her mind - those details weren't as important as seeing the amazement and pride in her family member's faces as they saw what she had accomplished all on her own. This is what fueled Audra in her passion to be different and show them all what she could do, always feeling a sense of encouragement with every passing breeze. Her family, however, did not see her ambitions in this light. They thought her a foolish young girl and figured this "phase" would pass as maturity settled. Little did they know of Audra's plans now that she was just about to have her 17th birthday: to gather a few of her belongings and leave with the wind to her back to live her dreams....whatever that meant. She supposed she'd figure out the specifics on the way.
Goal(s): Audra dreams of becoming wealthy and powerful, leaving her family's farm far behind her. She longs to be able to prove herself to her family, blowing them away with her grand achievements.
