Life in Northaven, a summary

Northaven was not as advertised. Her family had all but crumbled and were apparently dying out. Having only been in Northaven a few weeks, Edy remained as she always was. However without Colbrandt’s oversight and with Zariah not being quite herself (with Cyton dying, Bea, and a new relationship with Neron), Edy perhaps let herself be a bit more of a destructive force than she normally would have.

Notable happenings

• Tries to hug Loren Launceleyn and starts WW3 in his townhome, but then becomes besties with him (jokes on you Loren, besties are foreeverrr)
• Tries to violently force the family back together, sasses Zariah Launceleyn and is put into a mini-coma

Notable relationships

• Beatrix Launceleyn - family
• Charles Hawthorne - bad influence & unlikely friend
• Elyna ____ - patrol partner/not not a friend
• Loren Launceleyn - family/bff
• Neron Launceleyn - family
• Sulis Launceleyn - family
• Zariah Launceleyn - family

Born to Baron Tarik Launceleyn (a grey magician), a respected member of the Launceleyn clan and his wife Baroness Oona (a powerful destruction magic wielder), Edrei's younger years were relatively uninteresting. Like all Launceleyn children, Edrei began her training in the family compound around the age of 6. Despite her impressive lineage and entitlement to all that the family had to offer, from a young age the girl showed little signs of true Launceleyn capabilities. As a child she demonstrated almost no aptitude for basic reasoning or a strong grasp of language when she was allowed to play with others. She would endlessly try to stick square blocks into round openings, ignoring any outside instruction on how she might re-think these decisions. While her kin were demonstrating an early aptitude for the magic in their veins, Edrei could be found doing such unseemly activities such as eating flowers, drawing pictures of rainbows, or simply staring at the sky. She appeared to have a soft heart and an even softer mind, and were it not for the budding indications of destruction magic and the Launceleyn name, there was almost nothing to tie her to the mighty family from which she hailed.

Until her training began.

Shockingly the doe-eyed child took to the rigors of the secretive family training methods like a fly to honey. Whatever vapidness had been billowing inside of her seemed only to have been looking for something upon which to affix itself, and once it had, the girl excelled at almost every task given to her. She became competitive with her kin but not cruel. Where she might have goaded outsiders, Edrei tried to encourage those she trained with to excel just as she was doing. They were only as strong as their weakest link, and Edrei wouldn't stand for failures to bear her last name. A near-perfect example of just how thorough and complete the compound's training could be when applied properly, Edrei is first and foremost a dedicated attendant to all of her family's needs.

Edrei first demonstrated an aptitude towards destruction magic at the age of 13 during one of her training exercises. The young girl quite literally lit a fire beneath one of her cousins to try and get them to take the exercise more seriously (to the surprise of no one).

Once her training was complete, Edrei increased the structure in her life that the training complex had provided. She woke the same time every morning for a run and light strength workout, implemented a diet that would serve her well in years to come both as a warrior and one day as a mother, and tried to increase the breadth of her knowledge when time permitted so that she might be a multi-tool for the Launceleyn's use, rather than merely a sharp blade.

When Zariah was told offered to go through to the Settlement, the trajectory of the young woman's life similarly shifted. She began to accelerate her training both in terms of her magical usage but as a warrior as well. Whatever new world was going to be built, the Launceleyn's were going to have a hand in it and there was no way Edrei was going to wait around while her kin fought that battle alone. Once she deemed herself fit enough to be an asset on the other side, Edrei submitted herself to be a member of the Storm Guard and though she had to wait a great deal longer than she would have liked to, was selected to arrive during the second mini-wave due to the extra time she spent training both her body and her arcane abilities.

SUDDENLY ARRIVES IN THIS FUCKED UP PLACE.
