History
She was born in 390 the first daugther of Aldric and Theodosia, she is the fifth of their children.

Her childhood was as normal was on could expect, she was the treasured child of her mother being the only daughter she was able to have. She always saw Alys as a perfect little lady but fate would have it otherwise.

At the young age of 7, she was already sneaking out from her studies to the yard to see her brothers train with the master of arms. It wasn't long after, that she started to bring a bow and a quiver to the training yard at night, so no one would find.

At the age of 10 she had already a good shot with a bow hitting the target in the shadow only lit from the single torch she brought every night. It was time to get a sword a close courters weapon, so she could be closer to the action. She went in secret to find the blacksmith so she could have a sword made, she was caught by Rowena at first she was embarrassed to be found but it quickly faded to see female Pyror of her father.

Rowena agreed to train Alys in the art of the sword and so it was for a couple of years. Alys was 12 when her family was moved to the Gates of the Moon. She wanted to stop her training then for being afraid of being discovered. Rowena insisted that she continued, even if Alys was a natural fighter she needed practice.

Soon after her fears proved true, her father found out one night that she was training in her room. the day after she was brought to a cleared hall where all the squires were lined up, her father told her to prove to him she was meant to fight and so she did one by one she defeated them and was allowed to train openly.

Just as her life was at it's greatest the gods have a way of messing it up, her mother died soon after, sending her into a deep depression, she refused to eat or leave her room for some time. Her father insisted that she leave the room to train and be with her family, seeing that worry of her father helped her jump out and be her old self, resuming her training and her cherfull self.
