[atrb=border,0,true] WEAPONS & ARMOUR , Aela is always prepared for anything she has to face. Being a master archer, Aela has a hunting bow that she always keeps with her. She also keeps a Skyforge steel dagger on her person at all times. Aela also has a shield, which is just a simple steel shield, but it has gotten her out of many tough spots. Aela wears Ancient Nord Armour, and is never seen without it if she isn't in bed. SKILLS , Aela is a master archer, no doubt about that. She is used by the Companions to help train archers. She is also very skilled with one-handed weapons, and can switch over to them if the fighting becomes too close for her bow to be very useful. Aela is better with light armour, but has trained herself to withstand the weight of her armour. Aela is not very good with shield, but she does have one, just in case. Aela is very proficient in stealth, and and usually sneak anywhere without being seen. She's also very persuasive, some might call her silver-tongued. PERSONALITY , Aela is as wild as any creature you may find in the forest. The forest is where she is most at home, and if she spends too long indoors she becomes restless. Aela makes the most of her time outdoors. She's frequently found honing her tracking skills, and she hunts often to replenish Jorrvaskr's food supply. Aela enjoys combat, and will often take on targets twice (or more) her size. Aela is not an emotional person. In fact she might be percieved as quite cold. The only emotions she frequently shows are anger and wrath, perhaps some bloodlust. She is not rude or cruel, but she is also not friendly, and certainly not sweet. She enjoys the company of mostof the circle members, but she is distant from most people. The beast blood that ruins through Aela's veins is her reason for living. She frequently goes for runs in her other form, and she enjoys hunting and fighting in that form. She has heard of cures for the beast blood, but she wants nothing less. She is one with the wolf inside her, and without it, she would feel empty. Aela worships Hircine in particular, but otherwise is not religious. HISTORY , Aela was born in a small hut in the forests a few miles outside of Whiterun. She was raised by her father, not because her mother was dead or didn't want her, but because her mother,like all the women in Aela's family, was a Companion. Aela's father was a hunter, but not just any type of hunter, he kept people safe from hags, vampires, wereanimals, and the like. He knew of the beast blood in his wife, and he was prepared to kill her is she were to ever get out of control, and harm innocents. He also knew that his daughter would probably follow in her mother's tracks. He raised her in the forest, teaching her skills like animal tracking, and teaching her how to hunt. He taught her to only take what she needed from the forest and the animals who lived there. He taught her to never hunt for sport, and only for food. He taught Aela that the predators in the forest would only attack her if she made them feel threatened, or they were starving. There was no prey too big for Aela as she grew and learned. Aela learned the ways of the forest, and the ways of the hunt. By the time she was ten, she could safely navigate the forest on her own, even if she was out past dark. When Aela turned thirteen, her father began teaching her his ways. He didn't let her come with him until she was sixteen, but he spent three solid years teaching his daughter everything he knew about the creatures HE specialized in hunting. Aela was on board for vampire and witch hunting, but hunting wereanimals made her uncomfortable. She expressed this discomfort to her mother, and her mother explained that sometimes wereanimals would lose control, and begin attacking people. When they reached that point, they needed to be put down. They were a danger, and couldn't be allowed to hurt more people. After a long talk about it, Aela told her parents that she understood, and her training resumed with Aela working twice as hard. Aela knew that she wasn't just training for her father's work. The training she was receiving, especially the fighting, would help her when she was old enough for her trial to join the companions. By the time she was of age her mother had passed, killed in a fight with a giant. Aela's father supported her, and was not surprised at all when his daughter returned with news of success. Aela moved to Joorvaskr, and was quickly made a member of the circle. Things were going well for Aela until her father died. Aela isn't sure how he was killed, but she blames it on vampires.
