[[Charna Ja'Varrel'Kav]] is a citizen of [[Solhaven|'Haven]] who writes stories and poems about life in [[Elanthia]]. She has a friend named [[Cosain]] that is her constant companion. She is a [[Seer]] by profession.

Youngest of five, Charna is the child of a [[sylvankind|sylvan]] woman named Saofria and a human [[Talador|Taladorian]] man that Charna never knew. She was raised by her three oldest brothers – [[Fleckle]], [[Drigore]] and [[Ghrym]] – in the town of [[Icemule Trace]]. At age 16 she met her brother [[Nyrithorn]] for the first time, and the two have an odd relationship.

After leaving Icemule Trace, shortly after meeting her brother Nyrithorn, Charna was taken under the wing of Lady [[Songie Fillee]] – the Matriarch of [[Oleani]]’s Temple in Solhaven, and learned to shed much of her wild, boyish nature. As the years progressed she was adopted as a child of [[Wulfhen]] and [[Laleena]].

She once held the postion of Co-Secretary to [[Willow Hall]], Captain of the Fighting forces of [[H.E.R.T.]], Head Scryvner of the [[Free Holders]], Co-Secretary of [[Cairnfang Manor]] and Head Gypsy of the [[Gypsy Troupe]].

Charna has since abandoned all of those titles and simply wanders the lands with her companion Cosain; her eyes on the moons, her fingers touching a key, and her spirit bound to a scythe.

One day, she hopes to finish weaving her ribbon ladder and that it will be long enough to let her climb to the [[Constellations_of_the_Northern_Sky | Constellation of the Handmaidens]] so that she can take her place among her sisters.
