Aleid Hargreaves is a human female born, raised, and residing in Wehnimer's Landing.

History

Childhood

Born in 5102, Aleid was raised by her grandmother after ostensibly being abandoned by her parents.

Aleid and Grandmother Hargreaves, a warm but domineering woman Aleid always called Grams, lived in a small cottage on the edge of Shanty Town. Their life together was simple and quiet - rarely was it intruded upon by the troubles that seemed to frequently loom over their hometown. The pair spent their time gardening and knitting, and keeping a tidy house. While they seemed to always have just what they needed, and their larder was never empty, Grams would never explain how they did. She also refused to speak of Aleid's parents, despite much cajoling on the child's part.

Grams kept a tight rein on Aleid, only allowing her to venture beyond their fence in her company. With a sense of longing, Aleid would sit under an old oak tree outside their front door and watch the other children play. They were at times cruel, as children can often be, and called her "baby" and "puppy" - a reference to her being commanded to sit and stay in the yard so often by her grandmother.

It was during a time under the tree that Aleid came to make a discovery: She had magic. And not just any magic - she could control the wind. One hot summer day the teasing of the local children had grown unmerciful, and Aleid was furious. Suddenly, what had been a breezeless day turned into a wind-whipped afternoon, knocking over loose fence slats and tumbling a particularly small tormentor into a dry ditch beside the road.

It took Aleid mere moments to understand that she was the cause, and after a fashion she was able to still the wind with no one the wiser to the cause. Curiously, it wasn't long after that day that Grams began to allow the girl to run small errands - a trip to the grocer's; a jaunt to the baker's; even a visit to the local museum.

Adolescence

Time passed and Aleid was given more and more freedom. One day after a trip to the grocer's, Aleid wandered into the center of town square - a place she'd never been, as Grams had always deliberately taken the long way around. The sights and sounds there were overwhelming, and for a long time she just stood there, awestruck by so many people coming and going.
