Farroheena (aka Farro):
Catfolk, Scout/Streetfighter - Played by Leah Seim

The party knows has learned a great deal about Farro since she first joined the group. For example, the fact that she's a she. For quite some time, everyone was confused about her gender. It has only become apparent of late; after a friendly fireside chat where Farroheena opened up and told the rest of the party the sad tale of her family and her early years growing up with SethVar. Her first adventure with the members of the H.A.L.L.O.W.ed Knights was the 'Black Flame of Fletchin's Swamp'. She joined the party during that adventure.

Physical Description
Standing (or crouching?) 5'1" tall and weighing 132lbs, most of us are uncertain as to whether this is a typical build for Farro. With a fine coat of black fur and bright yellow eyes, her feline appearance always makes heads turn. Especially when she tumbles in and out of combat like a whirling dervish wild-cat.

Homeland (Country/City)
The party knows a little about Farro's homeland. It's called the 'Shaar'. A land of rolling prairies with long grasses and gentle hills. A few members of the HKs have been there before, and tales of the great plains are often recounted around the party's campfires. Aside from the general tales of the Shaar, the party doesn't know much more about Farro's tribe.

Background / History
Farroheena has a special hatred of all undead monsters, since a pack of them ransacked her village and left her bereft of the only people who held value to her in her young life-her parents and three older brothers. Their blood-soaked corpses shielded Farro from death, until the decaying monsters wandered off in search of other victims.

Eventually, a kindly old warrior named SethVar took in the wayward, half-starved child, after he noticed how quickly she could avail herself to choice morsels at the local tavern and then disappear without anyone noticing the lack. Under SethVar's tutelage, Farro began her training in earnest, vowing to rid the land of undead vermin to vindicate her slain family and village playmates. After years of disciplined fight-training, foraging in the woodlands, and helping SethVar complete odd jobs as he traveled from town to town, Farro felt as much at home in the forest as in a warm bed at the Inn.

When Farroheena became an Eldrakin, or an adult cat-person, SethVar presented her with disturbing news. SethVar explained that he had been the captain of the guard for the Royal household of Enthertan, of which there had been seven sons to Good king Ricolach. However, the youngest son, Tasharo, endeavored to learn evil magic in secret. When he mastered his craft, Tasharo raised the dead and destroyed his father, his brothers and all their kin. Then, Tasharo declared himself king of the land; settling any dissent with surprise, undead attacks during the darkness and plunging the surrounding countryside in terror.

SethVar himself had been lured out of the castle right before the massacre, to take care an urgent matter that turned out to be a trap ending with ten mercenaries waiting for him. Within minutes, SethVar struck down his adversaries and raced back to the castle as fast as he could. But, he was too late to save the king. So, he vowed to search out the other royal kin and serve them until such time as they could be reinstated in their rightful place within the kingdom. "I was lucky to find you Farroheena, since your father was only a few years older than your uncle Tasharo, and sixth in line for the throne at that," SethVar admitted with a chuckle. Then, SethVar explained that all the royal children were given a tiny, special tattoo on palm of their left hand, and instructed on how to brush their fur the right way to hide it. Gently, SethVar stroked the fur back on Farroheena's hand, to show the mark that Farro had wondered about, but dared not speak of, from the time she was a young kit back in her parent's house. Farro now understood that SethVar had continually moved from place to place to keep her safe. "Nobody notices or remembers a couple of vagabonds out on the streets," SethVar agreed. "Plus, it makes it easier for me to train you up. Eventually, you'll need to face your Uncle Tasharo and restore the kingdom to its former glory. When that day comes, appeal to the people in the towns we have helped these several years past. They will put their lives on the line for you, Farroheena! But, for now, we must train. You are still years away from being able to take on your Uncle. He won't die easily, you know. And, you will need to learn skills from other's beside myself."

During their adventures in the hinterlands, Farro and SethVar encountered other horrors that were nearly as bad as undead, since they were constructed rather than birthed naturally, and in most respects fairly similar to the undead beasts she loathed. Farro learned to hate elementals as well, as they seemed to be yet another aspect of evil spawned without souls or even bodies to call their own. Unfortunately, one day, SethVar was slain in battle, and Farroheena was forced to strike out on her own.

Farro came in contact with a party of adventurers called the H.A.L.L.O.W.ed Knights as she was traveling through the countryside and trying to figure out her options. Farro was immediately impressed with their odd appearance and how easily they handled their weapons. Secretly, Farro hoped to learn more skills by watching the way Enola handled herself.
