[b]Backstory -[/b] In the eastern lands lies a forest that borders the bustling trade city Merry Kah, built near the borders of three countries but controlled by none. Deep in Unnamed Forest, renowned for the delicious Beartletts that live within, lie hidden elven villages. It was in one of these villages that Nariana was born and raised. Originally taken in as a pet, when Nariana's growth didn't stop at tarantula-size, the owners realized they'd made a grave mistake. Instead of squishing her or throwing her out, though, the kind elves raised her as one of their own.

After she'd reached maturity, she parted with the elves on good terms, setting out in search of her own kind. She first headed to Merry Kah to find work and information, then moved where the wind took her. She never stopped looking for more aranea, but to date has yet to find any.
