-Let's have some norn family tree time!

Top: Bjarke Ulvar, Brigette Maelstrom - The parents of the Ulvstrom norn (all my girls <3)

Bottom: Torsten of the Frozen Lake - Isla's Father. Blair of the Frozen Lake - Fia's mother.

----

Blair and Bjarke met, brief fling, and their coupling resulted in Fia. Bjarke was not aware of this. Shortly after he met Brigette, fell madly in love, partnerned with her, and settled down.

Bjarke and Brigette had just given birth to their first son when Blair appeared on their doorstep with Fia about 2 years old and was like "Hi. This is yours. Byeeeee" and frolicked off back into the wildnerness.

Over the next 14 years, Bjarke and Brigette had 6 more kids of their own, and adopted Aisling. Aisling's mother died when she was very young, and her father turned to dragon. The 4 boys are pretty much un-developed. The oldest is still alive. The 2nd died during Icebrood Saga. The third is called Niall and that's all I know about him. And the 4th turned to follow Jormag in Icebrood Saga.

When Fia was about 17 she left the homestead. Aoife was about 6 when this happened, Siobhan 4, and Roisin 2. And Aoife was really the only one who had any memories of her half-sister, and was gutted she left. Fia partly left to find adventure, but also to look for her birth mother. She was very content with her half-family, but she just had to go looking for her mother. She did find her! In a village on a small island on a big perma-frozen lake. Blair had settled down at this point as a Bear Shaman in this village, partly due to injury.

Everyone who took up residence at this frozen village was allowed to use the title "of the Frozen Lake" and many took this title on in lieu of a surname or family name. It was a clan name of sorts, and those with it took pride in the title.

Also at this village was a young lad called Torsten. Torsten was a pretty small norn dude, looking a bit more like a human. But 100% norn. He was born and bred in Lion's Arch. Had spent most of his life in Lion's Arch and didn't have much knowledge about typical norn things. He could fight well enough with a sword and shield, but had no connection to the spirits of the wild, and to be honest, there wasn't really much else going on in that brain of his.

Fia and Torsten got on pretty well, and tada. Small child appears. Isla. Fia stayed around long enough to recover and nurse the babe but just like her mother, she took off pretty soon after. Torsten was fully committed to raise the child, he just knew he would need the help of the village to do so. He had zero idea how to raise a child, but was fully onboard to do so. Isla's granmother, Blair helped as much as she could, feelings of guilt had finally settled in for abandoning Fia so young, so she was the doting grandmother, and the rest of the village helped in the raising of Isla to typical norn standard. She was trained well as a hunter, forager, fighter, craftsman, cook. She was told about her extended family when she was old enough and was given the right to use the surname of Ulvstrom if she wanted to, also the title of Isla of Frozen Lake, but she was content with just being Isla. Fia would occasionally return to the village. But the visits were short, and the time between them long.

My name is Aoífe Ulvstrom. I am the eldest child to two wonderful parents and I live in a modest homestead east of Timberline Falls with them, and my younger brother, Niall.

When I was younger, I began showing signs of magic, healing magic to be exact, so it was decided I would one day train as a guardian. My magic was... different somehow though. My parents later told me stories of how I would talk with “the magic horsie in my head that healed people”. I later found out that this was the legendary centaur Ventari, and since discovering my talents, I have been training as a revenant.

As for now, it is the year 1325 AE and I have journeyed to Hoelbrak for two reasons. I have been selected to participate in this year’s Great Hunt, I hope to begin forging my legend here. My second reason is that I have been selected to be trained by the Raven Havroun, Weibe. Raven is my spirit guide and they have led me to him. After the celebrations of this year’s moot, I plan on learning much from him. Maybe one day I’ll be the next Havroun. But that’s a long ways off. For now, there’s a hunt to attend and glory (and ale!) to obtain!

So here she is. AU!Aoife. I plan to level her up slowly and explore the Shiverpeaks then on to the rest of Tyria! Also it’s an excuse to wear various outfits. :)
