petrea_mitchellWith Losseyel moving up to level 5, and most existing 2e Pathfinder Society adventures being for levels 1-4, I needed to roll up a new character for those. Back during PaizoCon, I poked my 2e random character generator and came up with a concept I'd been saving for this moment.
Yara Highroad is a halfling from a small community in Qadira (think the west end of Persia during one of its more imperial phases), where she used to run a wayside shop selling supplies and curiosities. Shortly after her 35th birthday, she began to have increasingly urgent and disturbing dreams featuring lost butterflies, the north star, and trackless lands of endless night. Recognizing the dreams as a calling from the goddess Desna, she sold her stock, embarked on a life of travel in Desna's service. As a Pathfinder, she supports the Horizon Hunters faction, which seeks to raise the Society's profile by performing ever greater feats of trailblazing and derring-do. Between missions, she seeks to inspire others by telling tales of her adventures via interpretive dance.
Mechanically speaking, Yara is a warpriest, which is to say a martially-oriented zealot, of the hippie goddess. Since Desna really isn't one for smiting people much, Yara has used her training to toughen her body for the rigors of long voyages, strange foods, and other hazards of travel.
