Description

Light-footed and with a reasonably slender frame, Echo doesn't tend to stick out in a more traditional sense. Her white hair, cut to shoulder length, matches the overall coolness of her appearance. Pale skin with contrasting dark eyebrows and lashes might make others consider her a natural beauty, but there is clearly a constant effort in maintaining this appearance. Echo often laments that her keen gray eyes and solemn features tend to make most others think twice about talking to her. Something about her intimidates despite her affable nature and generous personality. The cold gaze usually wouldn't last long as Echo is a very expressive woman: Wide hand gestures, telling eyes, constant shifts in her posture, and the occasional rosiness to her cheeks make her an easy read. There is a youthfulness to her entirety; big eyes, a round face, short stature, and a vibrant tone that can immediately shift to whatever suits the situation best.

Personality

A quiet energy surrounds Echo, vivacious and friendly to all who seem approachable. Those around her who might be a little more rough around the edges would be greeted with a smile, and the rest should receive the delicate treatment that they require. A people person - One who, while initially demure and quiet, is quick to grab a friend by the wrist and take them on a wild adventure without a moment's notice. Her talents are typically ignored, not through any ill intent; rather, the friendliness, companionship, and loyalty is far more important to her. Brimming beneath the affable surface is a love for danger and excitement. A hunger for things unknown. A desire to push on when it's best to pull back. That competitive edge might be what sets her apart, but she tends to tuck most of those feelings away beneath terribly knitted sweaters and only slightly better home-made pastries.

Background

Echo was born into a large family, the youngest of four and third of three daughters.

She idolized her older sisters, the twins Astraea and Amarantha, who doted upon her in turn. She became a steady fixture in their lives, a constant loyal shadow trailing them from dawn until dusk. The sound of her tiny feet pattering behind them from room to room became commonplace. Neither of her older sisters can agree upon which of them first called her Echo, but Echo -- their constant following companion -- she remained.

From Amarantha she learned the importance of doubt. That nothing should be taken at face value and that the world can be more cruel and dark than a child could imagine. From Astraea she learned the value of kindness. That in a world brimming with pain and injustice, kindness is a rare strength and, more than that, a duty.

So it was no surprise to anyone when she answered the call to take up arms like her sisters. Nor was it startling when she eventually came to love and marry a northern man as they had. Tragically, like, her sisters, her marital happiness was short-lived. Within half a year of their wedding, her husband lost his life on a wilderness scouting mission.

The world can be cruel. But when the months of mourning had passed and the sun rose for her again, Echo stepped back out into the world determined more than ever to be stronger and kinder than it could be cruel.
