Name: Beatrix
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Elemental Signs: Clear, so she doesn’t have any signs.
Home Nation: The village of Atyar
History: Beatrix is the only child of an Earth elemental named Roland and a Clear named Naomi. Her parents met when her father fell ill on the way back to Obsidian after leaving Ilyamen, and he decided to stop in the nearest village to rest; by chance this village happened to be Atyar where Naomi’s family owned an inn. At first they were just host and customer, but over the course of several visits they fell in love and eventually got married after making sure that Roland’s unwillingness to leave Naomi had nothing to do with him being snared. Not long after the marriage, Beatrix was born and her father set up a permanent shop instead of being a traveling salesman.
Beatrix’s upbringing was quiet, and she learned reading, writing, and mathematics from her parents so that she’d be able to help with the family businesses. While her father wasn’t always there due to having to leave to transport goods, the family was together as often as possible and wrote to each other when apart. As she grew, she heard stories about Roland’s hometown, and pieces of both Earth and Clear folklore. These stories fascinated her, but she was told that it wasn’t safe for Clears in most of the world outside the village; a fact she didn’t really understand since none of the Elementals she’d met growing up seemed to mind, but she accepted since she didn’t think her parents would lie to her.
After receiving the ability to switch her aura off, she decided to try again to get permission to visit the Earth lands. Eventually she got permission to go, on the condition she kept it off and avoided making side trips to other areas. The curious Beatrix was a little unhappy with the latter, but accepted.
Her aura is usually off, but while she was still getting used to the change in Atyar, it would sometimes accidently be on. Fortunately, the practicing took place somewhere that no one really minded that she was a Clear.

Just a little reference information about her parents to make sure I'm consistent on these details-
Name: Naomi
Age: 37, married at 20 after dating for two and a half years
Occupation: Innkeeper
Element: Clear
Hometown: Born and raised in Atyar and rarely leaves
Other information:
- Initially very nervous about entering in a relationship with an Elemental since she didn't want to have accidentally snared one into a relationship he didn't really want; that just seemed really unethical. This issue was settled years ago, fortunately.
- Had a bad relationship with a couple slaver cousins, but after the fall of Lacuna, she started to work to mend the relationship and helped cushion them financially using her rainy day while they learned how to do without Elemental slaves. Feels guilty sometimes about letting the family fight go on so long instead of going to Lacuna to mend fences.
Name: Roland
Age: 42, married at 25
Occupation: Shopkeeper, formerly wandering salesman
Element: Earth[one sign in his left thigh, stone path]
Hometown: Obsidian
Other information:
-Solved the in love verses aura trapped issue by going back home and seeing how he felt about Naomi when he was surrounded by Elementals and no where near Clears.
-Settled down to spend more time with his new family.
-Used his powers to make the gem in his wife's wedding ring. The gem isn't very large for one in a ring and more flawed than most wedding rings, but they agree it's a nice personal touch.
