Description/General History:

Born in a little-known farming community, Saria spent her childhood being taught the values of rural life, from hard work and honesty to persistence and devotion. At first, living at home with only her parents, she adopted these ideas quickly, but later in her development, found them to be quite objectionable. When at play with the other children, she often found herself the center of fierce disagreements with her peers, and more often than not, the object of blame for various injuries that would occur during such conflicts. The other children quickly caught on, and began to exclude her from most activities, doing their best to avoid the 'accidents' that seemed to happen immediately following a conflict. Of course, this caused Saria to react in a less than pleaseant manner.

Refusing to be excluded, but unable to participate, Saria began to seek other ways of entertaining herself with the other children by causing more small 'accidents' and covering them up. This behavior persisted well into her teenage years, when eventually, one of her 'pranks' got so out of hand she and her family were rejected by the community.

Fearing the anger of her parents, she stole away under cover of darkness, and set about traveling to any place where no one knew her. Unfortunately, her temper and tendancy to cause harm to others when upset soon found her exiled from another community.

At this point, Saria realized that her way of dealing with the world was not exactly the best. As she walked past the boundaries of her latest mistake, she started on a personal quest to control her quick temper and destructive habits. As a part of this effort to control her inner chaos, she discovered that, when ordered, the burning determination oftentimes responsible for the 'accident's of her childhood could manifest itself much more clearly. Instead of childish pranks, Saria discovered that she could focus her will into a strange power all it's own. A strange power still difficult to control.

While on the road between settlements, Saria stopped at an Inn for a room. Weary from her travels, she wanted only a dry place to rest until the sun had risen again. Instead, she found yet another conflict. This time, however, when she let her rage overcome her, she misused her newly harnessed power, and killed one of the other patrons. At the moment of the man's death, she realized what she had done, and fled the Inn before anyone could restrain her. Knowing the penalty for her crime, she did not head to the city that was her original destination. Instead, she headed to the edge of civilization where she would not be executed for her crimes. Eventually, after months of hard travel at a greuling pace, she found her way to this colony, a place where she could have a final chance to start with a clean slate.
