Source: Das Schwarze Auge
Genre: Fantasy
Bard, traveller, half-elf. Bringer of beauty, hero of legends, keeper of secrets.
Daria Sercial is the famous bard from the Reichsforst. Of course you should know her! What do you mean you've never heard of her? She singlehandedly saved Beorn? She found the old lost city of Simiyala? What? No one is singing of her deeds? Well, she's going to change that, what the hell! She's a hero! Blessed by the Gods! And if no one else sings of what she's done, then she herself will, goddamnit!
But well, for the moment it's maybe better that she isn't recognized on the streets, because she's wanted for murder. Framed! Framed for murder! She didn't do it, okay? She's a pacifist and wouldn't hurt a fly. Except if you cross her. But even then, look, she even gave up carrying a sword. Why? It's none of your business.
Besides, most obstacles can be solved with a charming smile, a couple of lies and in the worst cases, a lot of flirting.

Being the seventh child of an aristocrat would be amazing if it wasn't because of her bastard title. In other circumstances, it could have been easily hidden, but the affair her mother had was with an elf and so it showed in Daria's physique early in her life. Since she was a child, she was the black sheep of the family - despite being an almost-perfect child, her pointed ears were a stain in her family's honour.
Through her lineage and siblings, she learned to play the harp, as well as to fence with a foil. She learned everything one needed to know about being noble, from heraldry to etiquette. And yet, she was rarely allowed to be in the more high-class parties, seeing how her title wasn't nearly high enough for that.
At first, she spent that time trying to find a way in or consoling herself by reading stories or practising. But by the time she was a teenager, she started rebelling, she wanted to be part of the important people; that led her to escape the house and roam the streets for a way to sneak in.
Despite it never working, she met people in those streets who taught her another kind of lifestyle, the one where nothing is fixed and life can change in the blink of an eye. And she wanted nothing more but to change her life.
It was a crush that made her take the road - or rather, a failed one. At a not-so-high-class party, she met a guy, her age, very handsome and charming. It was one of the first times she actually felt this attracted to someone new. So she decided to use a spell on him, one of the few spells she could use at all: to make him like her instantly. And yet it backfired on her, before she even got to say hello, the guy's face reddened and she feared what might even happen if she stayed longer.
In a burst of teenage rebellion, she just grabbed her most important things and left the city with the Aves' priest.
With him, she travelled to the Zyklopeninsel, where most legends are from and stayed there to study for a while. With that knowledge, her great skills at playing the harp and her beautiful voice, she roamed the world as a bard. And what other job would she do better? She thrives in the spotlight.
Her travels brought her to find the lost elf city of Simyala, close to the Gods and touched by the Dark One. And she also found her half-brother.
Her songs now tell of her heroics as she tries to make herself into a legend.
