Sassenach Siannodel

Early Life
Sassenach was born to Fidherald and Emra Sinnodel, farmers to a rural village in the east. It was one of two areas where Eldions can be found. She has three older siblings, Baron Sinnodel, Angelica Sinnodel and Eva Sinnodel. Angelica was wedded off to a slightly wealthier family to the east, she has rarely been seen by the family since the wedding. Her brother Baron has remained at the farm with his parents. Eva was a quiet child, following the family's desires for what they wanted their children to become. She is married to a priest and works at a local library in the temple. Sassenach and Baron had frequent communication until her departure from Leorich’s villa. She would send gifts to both her parents, though communication was limited. Sassenach would make yearly visits back home after settling down at Aroonshire later in her life.

Sassenach’s early life was the simple life of an Eldion girl. She at the age of 7 attended temple until she was 15, at which time she took specialized study in medicine and healing. She did not wish to follow in her brother’s footsteps and become a farmer. She was always a big dreamer, wishing to see herself follow in the footsteps of many of the human women in the village. She wanted to find success in her life, not just through knowledge. She knew knowledge would carry her, so she continued her studies in her freetime.

Teenage Years
At the age of 17 she had started a healer’s shop in the nearby village. It was a busy one, as she looked after nearly every villager in the town assuring their health. She would create any medicines or treatments needed that they otherwise could not provide. She was more of an Alchemist then a spell caster, only having a few basic healing spells under her sleeve. Her life felt stuck after some time in the shop.

She had a breaking point on the brink of 18, packed up everything she could and left the village to the city. She was tired of the life she was living. She wanted to see it become something more, something that mattered beyond the village. She would flee to the capital where she would once again start another healing shop, as it was the only thing she was truly good at.

Soon after traveling to the capitol she would meet a man by the name of Leorich Dilias, a politician who was revered by the Eldions in the land. The two started courting and he soon had his claws in her. She would move from a small living quarters at the back of the shop, to living in his villa. She had fallen deeply in love with him.

During the start of the relationship, he would shower in gifts and would often show her off at social events he would frequent. Much like her sister, she did carry a fair amount of beauty. Sassenach believed that she would become his wife, as he often spoke of the day they would marry.

Near the end of winter it was revealed to Sassenach that Leorich would be wedding a human named Rose Stefania. She was slightly older than Sassenach, Lrorich had been courting her behind Sassenach’s back.

Adulthood
The two were wed shortly after the announcement. Nearly a year later, she had failed to conceive a child. The times she had resulted in the loss of the child after a few short months. During this time, Sassenach, despite heart broken continued courting with Leorich in the hopes he would leave Rose. She sought out several druids in the hopes of finding a way for him to leave Rose. Sassenach would lie with Leorich for the final time at the end of spring as summer’s heat creeped up.

Shortly before the child’s birth it was determined and put into contract that if the child is a son he would be placed into the care of Leorich and Rose. He would be considered legally their child and Sassenach would have no play in the child’s life. The child would only remain in her care for a short few months so that the child may nurse. After that he would go into full care of them and Sassenach would have to return home. Sassenach  opposed this, but there was little she could do. After time, she wore down and agreed.

Most nights she would attempt rituals, prayers and pleading to Eldion that the child would be a girl, thus she could keep them. At the end of a long pregnancy, Sassenach gave birth in the midst of spring. Her son was named Alphonse Dilias. Sassenach was able to tolerate three weeks under the constant watch of guards. She gathered what money she could from her belongings and bribed the night watch to turn a blind eye for a night.

With what little was left she fled to the south, a small town named Aroonshire Harbor. She had wished to return home, but feared what would happen to her family. Once again, she opened a small medicine shop. It created enough income for her to comfortably raise her son. Upon arriving at Aroonshire she found a man to create fake certificates of identity for them. She would from then go by the name Yadril Thomas, her son Satoshi Thomas.

She hated the direction that her life had taken and pushed her son throughout his childhood years to continue education and to never doubt the teachings of Eldion. She felt that her actions were the punishment given to her for turning her head away from knowledge and desperately seeking only what the heart wanted.

Many years passed without major incident. There were times that guards arrived in the village seeking Sassenach, however; local villagers would send them on false trails or Yadril would use disguise spell scrolls to hide themselves. Guards arriving would grow more frequent for several years before abruptly stopping.

Near the start of the new year, a new village Cheif by the name of Edgar Prescott took power. He was voted in by the villagers. A key detail that stuck out among those running was the fact that he was a human. It is very uncommon for dominantly Eldion towns to be ran by a human due to oftentimes conflicting views. This is especially true in regards to religion. The town enjoyed his views of 'live and let live' as well as policies involving expanding local funds to the temple and repairs that were needed. After being elected, he was seen as fairly quirky with some strange flaws, but over all he was loved by the towns people. He had his moments where fits of anger occurred but he was able to quickly gather himself. These would amount until the night of the Moonlit Harvest. Sassenach was requested to perform alongside several other Eldion during the festival. She accepted and spent many months practicing with them leading up to the date. She had left the shop fairly early to spend time before the festival preparing the stage and practicing with the other bards. As the group began their performance, there were awful screams that began to the far right of the stage. It was at this moment several undead began attacking those in the crowd. Before Sassenach could flee, she was killed.

Relationship with Satoshi
Sassenach and Satoshi always had a strong bond. He would very much be what one would call a 'momma's boy'. Most of his time was spent with her and would defend her with all he could.

She was always very kind to him, hardly (if ever) becoming angry with him. The few times a temper would be shown are during the times that he would ask questions about her life before he was born. There were times where she would slip and call him "Alphy" instead of Satoshi. She once admitted to him that Satoshi was not his birth name, but would not clarify it "Alphy" was his full name or not. The question which sparked the worst response was asking of his father. Satoshi always has had a deep curiosity on who his father is and where he came from.

Sassenach spent a good portion of her life as a mother preparing Satoshi to one day take over the medicine shop. Despite this, she assured he had time to just be a child.
