Physical Description
Though of a pretty average height, Cara is built on the petite side, a fact that her brother's teased her with growing up and is still a sore spot. Her skin is gently tanned, and she has gently curly silvery blonde hair shot through with streaks of deep blue and violet, paired with dusky green eyes.
She tends to emulate her mother in dress, hair often in a messy braid or bun, and wearing loose skirts and flowing that give her a vaguely "boho artist" image...which is not entirely inaccurate.
Personality
Cara isn't a bad person, but she's been hardened by the world a bit too young. This has left her a rather closed off, at times even cold, and makes really getting to know her difficult.
She's not unfriendly, however (particularly when she's running her little shop), and her neighbors would say she's nice enough, if a bit of a mystery.
Magic/Abilities
Cara's magic is intensely powerful, but only on occasion. It seems to exist almost outside of her control, reacting to certain stimuli, particularly if it senses danger. It's likely this side of her magic stems from powerful fae heritage- or at least that's her working theory.
Most of the time though, it exists simply as a moderate power of witchcraft, allowing her to craft charms, mix potions, and cast minor spells without too much trouble.
Relationships
Eamon and Nicolletta Teiryn, parents, deceased
Aiden and Liam, her older brothers
Millie, her familiar, a white mink that she can communicate with telepathically
History
Eamon Teiryn, an Adelan soldier retired from duty due to injury, met Nicoletta Fairchild some thirty-odd years ago. They settled down in the Serenian highlands and had three children, Aiden, Liam, and Cara.
Magic ran in both their families, though Eamon's magecraft was not his fortitude and he rarely used it. Nicki, however, was half-fae, and she practiced her magic regularly, simply for the sake of it, for household chores, and as a way to make a little extra money selling charms and spells to neighbors and such.
Their two eldest children showed no magical aptitude, but even as a baby it was clear Cara possessed a knack for it. Nicki quickly took over her daughter's training, and it gradually became clearer that Cara's "knack" for magic was in fact a predisposition to immense power.
Her brothers, meanwhile, spent a majority of their childhoods with their father, learning to hunt and fish and fight, both with weapons and barehanded. It was rather stereotypical, all told. Only three years apart, the boys seemed to be a bit closer to each other than they were to her sister- at least until Aiden turned eighteen and Cara twelve.
Already obviously growing into a pretty young woman, Cara appeared older than she was in her younger years, and drew some unwanted attention. After begging her brothers to bring her to a town festival, she was accosted by an older boy who seemed not to understand the word "no".
Aiden immediately came to his sister's defense, and as always Liam was barely a step behind him. Not one to be outdone, Cara jumped into the fray, and it seemed she'd actually learned quite a lot just from watching her brothers practice.
The siblings gained a bit of a reputation after that, as well as becoming closer to each other. Unfortunately, a reputation can catch the attention of those you might otherwise rather avoid.
Obviously a skilled fighter, and with fae blood to boot, Aiden was tracked and confronted by a strange man when he and his father were out on a hunting trip. The man offered him great power, immortality, in exchange for his service in what he referred to as "what was to come". Aiden refused, and the man attacked.
Aiden was turned into vampire. Desperate, their parents searched for a cure, but found only more danger and heartache. In a little over a year, the search killed them.
Liam and Cara, now nineteen and fourteen respectively, were left with Aiden to fend for themselves. Despite their elder brother's protests, Liam left to continue their parents' search. He kept in contact, but then one day his messages just stopped.
It took nearly two months before Aiden and Cara heard from him again, and that was when a hungry, hollow-eyed wolf appeared at their door, then collapsed into their brother's form. Liam had been in a small village ravaged by a pack of rabid werewolves, and bitten while trying to defend the people.
Convinced what they were would only bring danger to their little sister, the boys left. Cara was left alone- save for Millie- to run their mother's little shop and attempt to make some sort of life for herself.
