History/bio:
Asa was born in 1648 in a small community of supernaturals hidden on Kebnekaise. Her first life was spent within this community, learning of her powers as a dragon and about the supernatural world at large. While she enjoyed learning of her culture, she was always curious of the outside human world, however her parents initially banned her from interacting, as the area was controlled by a particularly ruthless hunter family known as the Gunvaldssons. While most of the community feared the hunters, Asa’s curiosity was overpowering, and with the help of a Fingumas witch, she was able to disguise herself and sneak out into the human world. Given her natural beauty, many local men took notice of her and attempted to court her. This popularity quickly led to attention from the Gunvaldsson family, who used her to track down the supernatural haven and attempt a slaughter of all who lived there. While the witches and dragons managed to hold them back, many causalities were had, including Åsa’s parents, her siblings, and Åsa herself, ending her first life. While Åsa’s body was recovered by the same Fingumas witch who had disguised her, giving her the opportunity to regenerate, he siblings were not so lucky. Bodies taken away by the surviving hunters, they were imprisoned, and presumably repeatedly killed upon regeneration until all their lives were gone.
After regeneration, Åsa and the witch were outed from the community, deemed the one who allowed the assault to happen. The witch, nearing the end of her life, fled with Åsa to Germany, where she found refuge with a nymph named Jerisa. This nymph became Åsa’s adoptive mother, taking care of her as a child. After regaining her memories, Åsa had a new priority: revenge. She spent her early life training in swordsmanship and battle tactics, becoming skilled enough to become somewhat of a master once she hit age 38, having practiced for about 22 years. At this point, she began a trek across Europe, finding every Gunvaldsson she could find, and murdering them. It became a bit of a rebellion, with a group of other fae and supernaturals who wanted rid of the tyrannical hunters following her as a leader. After another 30 years, she had slain the last active Gunvaldsson hunter, and had scared off any far relation of the Gunvaldsson who may have sought vengence against her. After this, she retired and died a peaceful death back in Germany.
With vengeance complete, Åsa once again regained her curiosity about the human world, increased by the wonderful experinces she’d had seeing the cultures of other European countries while tracking down the Gunvaldssons. She spent her next three lives traveling across the world, exploring the cultures of Asia, Africa, and South America throughout the ages. In her sixth life, after exploring across America for 30 plus years, she has decided to “take a break,” and is settling down in Whitecross to once again reunite with the supernatural community. After hearing about Gringore Academy, she decided to go to Whitecross in the hopes of getting a job at the Academy, so as to teach the next generation what she has learned in her travels.
