[b]Personality:[/b] Solana is a complex being, like many other conscious creatures across Arcazia. While she can be seen as one of the braver souls in the world she still seeks companionship requiring interaction with others and prefers doing things with a group seeking safety in numbers. Something of a daredevil, Solana was always one to search out the next adventure in her life attempting to experience all she could before her end because death never came up as something she even considered, as if she was either going to do something or die trying which is a mentality that often got her in many dangerous situations. With her new lifestyle of an adventurer she is still getting used to the many predicaments it can get you in and while her combat prowess is something she can boast she is still an amateur adventurer and Ana has a lot of learning to do about the world around her and how to survive in it before she can be considered anyone special. 
[b]Fears:[/b] Insects, Poison, Marriage, Serpents, Dark Magic.
[b]Likes:[/b] Traveling, Exotic species, Food, Fighting, Thrill seeking.
[b]History:[/b] Solana Veatal was born on a very small unnamed island inhabited by the remnants of her long forgotten clan located north of the Twilight Isles where she migrated to in her youth. Ana's clan had struggled for generations on their grief stricken island before her father, the last clan leader, decided they needed to find a new home. When her clan entered regular society they were forced to work as mercenaries for local lords to feed themselves. Her clan was one of many that was used in the local skirmishes between lords, which quickly dwindled their numbers by effectively killing off the male population. The remaining population consisted of young females, most of whom were taken wives and shameful widows who were viewed as degenerates of society. Ana however chose to take a much different route in life, one not typical to any of her clan members.

Being the only child of a clan leader young Solana was rigorously trained by her father in their clan's unique combat styles. Being able to pick them up naturally, she excelled in combat and often gained much praise from her father. However it was taboo for girls in her clan to learn how to fight and as such she was never allowed to display her natural ability. This was until recently when Solana decided to travel the world and left the Twilight Isles seeking adventure and a way to restore her clan.
