Past is Prologue:
Ezra was born to a settlement in the misty forest over two hundred years ago. The settlement was home to a group of the Shadar-kai who stood vigil over a particularly large area where the Shadowfell and Prime Material plane intersect. Tacturn as the Shadar-Kai are, the community was…brighter…then most considering the villages purpose. Safeguarding the material plane from undead invasion. Ezra became an acolyte of the Raven queen when she was only six and performed most duties in the temple as one would. She learned the use of the sword and shield as well as her natural gifts as a Shadar-kai. However, her link to the divine the power of the Raven Queen was weak.
Ezra for the most part was a very positive youth for a Shadar-Kai and perhaps it was due to that, she was not blessed with magical abilities. At least early on in her life. Her faith in the mission of the Raven queen was beyond question and she looked at the deity as one of glad tidings. For it was the raven queen who ensured the souls of the departed safely made it to the afterlife and their mortal husks return to the soil without fear of undeath’s corruption taking hold. Because of her unique outlook on her service to the Raven Queen, the head temple Cleric received a vision for Ezra to travail abroad. Learn of the world and spread the message of Raven Queen.
Ezra’s mission is to bring understanding of the Raven Queen to those who may not understand her purpose. It is through her pilgrimage that Ezra will grow and eventually be one of the Raven Queens Twilight Clerics. Ezra would eventually feel the divine spark of her Matron of death after a one-hundred-year journey across Fae `run. On her way back a vision would come to her to travail to Daggerford. A troubling event is felt on the horizon and it is here that Ezra is beckoned to grow further as a cleric and ensure the balance between life and death are not disrupted.
Deity: The Raven Queen. Raised as an acolyte to the Raven Queen from an early age. Ezra followed her belief without question or complaint, even when she was not gifted with her patrons blessing. She did her duties all the more fervently recognizing that her Matron of Death, knows the machinations of the world better then she. Her faith is rewarded when given a mission to traverse the world beyond the village in the Misty Forest, travailing from temple to temple and learning greater lessons of the true reason for her go into the world. Many event's have transpired throughout her years of travailing. She knew, however, that she would be called to action when the time was correct reflecting on the peace of mind she can offer to those nearing the end of their life's journey.
Music that Fits Ezra's Outlook.
Life is Beautiful : This is more so how Ezra views things. Being positive for the life you are given and not stressing over the end. There is the belief that while the soul is passing over that they will find peace and happiness in the afterlife.
I am the Fire: Ezra's resolve to move forward in life. While she has faith the Raven Queen had a plan for her. Ezra was still prone to some doubt. This is the reflection of her moving past that doubt to do the service of her patron regardless of not having power before and now more fervent to show her goddess that Ezra can see her task through for her.
I get Wicked: This is on Ezra as a person. She is kind, even if serious. Though she will not shy away from challenges set before her or her faith. She will give unto others as they give to her.
See Who I Am, Bonus song because it felt appropriate for Ezra's travails.
