Saffron

Saffron is a member of the party. She is a human fighter. Friend of Ontharr Frume.

Saffron was born the youngest daughter of four to a poor artesian and merchant family. Her father was a talented sculptor, and her mother was a fast-talking merchant seemed wonderfully matched, but sadly their skills never seemed to be fully recognized by the poor community they lived in. Crammed into a small apartment, Saffron and her family were closely bonded, each learning from their parents the trade of sculpting and tending their small storefront. Sadly, when Saffron was six her mother was tragically killed in an accident outside their home.

Rakim, Saffron's eldest brother learned trade outside the family and grew up to become a hunter and community leader as he often dealt in trade negotiations with surrounding communities. Saffron's older sister Layla and second eldest brother Sami both followed their father's talents and became artisans as well. Layla preferred to paint and found reasonable success as she sold a number of paintings to wealthier families, while Sami just got his start as an apprentice under their father. Saffron learned the skills of a soldier, hoping to move up the ranks to help support her family as they followed their dreams. Soon after joining the ranks, Saffron deployed as she was needed.

Once she returned to her community, she learned that Sami was nowhere to be found. He had gone missing in the night with no trace left behind. Saffron and her family feared the worst for their son and brother. Following this news, Saffron took leave from her post, left her community, and set out to travel the world as a hired soldier to protect those who cannot protect themselves. She carried with her the hope that Sami may be out there, that he could be saved, and that others like him are still vulnerable and need to be protected by people like her.

This decision wasn't made lightly, as it divided her family. Her father, ailing in old age was unable to support himself, but Layla promised she will do what she can to return beauty to their broken family that remains behind. Rakim meanwhile was greatly angered and feels betrayed by Saffron's choice to leave, as he remained behind, a steadfast son.
