Background:

Citrina is tall (for a woman) and her facial expression is one of serenity and peace. She appears as a woman nearing her forties, although her eyes seem much younger. When expecting combat, or when adventuring, Citrina is mostly dressed in dark blue suit of plate mail, with a matching helm which bears a great gold-plated crescent moon symbol. Her long straw-colored hair is allowed to flow freely from beneath the helm. At her side she wears the sun sword and carries a medium shield with her device upon it - a cresent moon. In more peaceful times she dressed in green and brown, sometimes with a great blue cloak embroidered with moon symbols.

Citrina is a quiet and warm person. She is somewhat shy, and doesn't make friends easily, although many are attracted to her because of her natural beauty. Many people often look to her for advice, but she is somewhat uncomfortable with the role of leader, as she is still somewhat strange to the ways of the civilzied world. Although she looks much older, she is still only 20 years young and is in many ways still a girl. Her innocence and childlike spirit is also one of her strongests assest when confronted with terrible . She is softspokem and will not enter into heated arguments over any subject, but declines quietly after having expressed her point of view. She never lies and while many think her to be a great woman, she thinks of herself as ordinary.

Born on the 20th of Planting in 567 CY as the only daughter of a ordinary family, Citrina got her name because of her beautiful citrine colored hair. Her father was subsistence farmer and a woodsman living together with his wife in a simple cottage at the edge of the Gamboge forest. Citrina�s youth was peaceful and quiet, sometimes even lonely, as only child of the family. She spent much of her time outside, exploring the surrounding nature, and slowly matured. As she grew older, her parents recognized the growing potential for greatness in their daughter, and when she reached 16 years of age, they send her to a local Druid, to be taught more about the ways of nature. Although Citrina shared the Druid's love for nature and forests in particular, she had a more positive attitude towards life as the balanced philosphy of her teacher. She would not only tend and nourish nature, but would like to change it and mankind for the better. And after two years of intensive tutelage she decided to set forth into the world and protect the forest and her beliefs more actively. She became a Ranger, worshipping Ehlonna as her patron deity.

Her first real adventure was when she aided a small village who had some trouble with spider worshipping fanatics. It was then that she met some people who she continued to adventure with during the following years. In the same adventure, while exploring the catacombs inside the hill of Chagmat, she discovered her most prized possession, a golden ring set with an emerald; a ring of regeneration. Citrina makes her base in a beautiful small castle lying on a island in a small lake near the place where she grew up. She received a small keep and a her radiant appearance by drawing a card from a magical deck. The castle lies far from inhabited areas, and she tries to make the place a haven for those who seek peace and serenity. After her last adventure, when she and her friends aided a mage, whoes experiments with some plants had gone slightly awry, she was magically aged 20 years by a ghost and an opponent with a staff of withering, she is currently searching to remedy the problem.

Notes:

I have grown fond of Citrina over the years. She does not try to excel in anything, has no special tricks up her sleeve, and usually stays in the background, but she often acts as the invisible glue that holds the party together, being only noticed when she isn't there. Her innocent and friendly stance has diffused many a conflict and her steadfast support and willingness to sacrifice herself for a creater good has saved many lives.
