Emet and Auginae were originally from the tribes, but decided to leave and start a new life, which included taking their own names and ditching the life that they had known before. Emet was a Carpenter and Auginae was a weaver, and they made their gil by doing odd jobs for the people of Hyrstmill, having built a small house in the Shroud near there. The two of them were very much in love, but had to work very hard in order to maintain their lives, so they didn’t have much time for Alothia. She was often seen playing with the children of the village, often without supervision.
4. Do you have any siblings? What are/were they like? Lini Oakenwave is Alothia’s sister. Alothia didn’t know much about her or her personality before she left, as Lini was only a baby at the time.

56. Who are your friends? Do you have a best friend? Describe these people. Where do I begin? Alothia has a long list of people she considers friends.
Kass- her best friend, or at least she was before the Calamity. Fearless- He’s strong willed and stubborn, but has a heart of gold. Nel- someone she would lay her life down for. Zenge- even though their relationship ended, she still wonders if he is safe and well. Para- her boyfriend. They’re caught up in quite the tumultuous relationship. Leanna- a young Lalafell that Alothia has taken under her wing. She sees a strong sense of spirit in Leanna. Lainseworth- a Lalafell that Alothia thought she had lost, but now has back. Burgenheim- A large, fabulous Roe whom Alothia looks up to figuratively and literally.
57. Do you have a spouse or significant other? If so, describe this person. Para. He’s a young hyur, with a good heart and a great personality. They play well off of each other, giving each other a hard time and joking around. They have painful pasts and can understand each other’s troubles...it’s a passionate relationship, but there is definitely more than just physical attraction at work there.
58. Have you ever been in love? If so, describe what happened. Numerous times. Oskar was Alothia’s first love, and she was blinded by it. He tore her to bits and left her hurt. After Oskar, Alothia fell in love with Zenge, a friend turned lover. They were together until just before the Calamity, at which point she vanished with the rest of the time skippers. Afterward, she met Para, and was swept up in his life.
59. What do you look for in a potential lover? A good sense of humor first and foremost. Beyond that, caring and understanding, a strong sense of self. She doesn’t want someone who needs to be saved or who wants to save her. She wants someone that she can be a partner with, with some give and take on both sides.
60. How close are you to your family? Not very. Alothia burned her bridges with her family when she left home, but did start to establish a sort of relationship with her sister the year before the Calamity.
61. Have you started your own family? If so, describe them. If not, do you want to? Why or why not? Not yet, but Alothia is very interested in starting a family. She thinks that she would make a great mother, and she would do her best to make up for her own mistakes with a child. She just would need to trust someone enough to make a family with them.
62. Who would you turn to if you were in desperate need of help? Any one of her aforementioned friends.
63. Do you trust anyone to protect you? Who, and why? Again, any one of her friends. Once you are considered her friend, she would trust you with anything.
64. If you died or went missing, who would miss you? She has gone missing, with the rest of the time skippers. She is slowly learning who did miss her. Right now, Kass, Burgen, and Lainse are in that number.
65. Who is the person you despise the most, and why? Currently it would be Joshua because she does not understand his motives and thinks that he does what he does out of a need to be cruel.
66. Do you tend to argue with people, or avoid conflict? She tends to avoid outright conflict unless you step on her friends, in which case she will get quite riled up.
67. Do you tend to take on leadership roles in social situations? Yes. Alothia feels that it is her duty to make sure that people are interacting and having a good time.
68. Do you like interacting with large groups of people? Why or why not? She is ever the social butterfly, and she enjoys talking and interacting with as many people as possible.

80. What would you do if you had insomnia and had to find something to do to amuse yourself? She has this problem on occasion, being a Moonkeeper. SHe tries to keep her schedule more like that of a Hyur, so it can become problematic. She often will write in her journal or read a book, or simply stare out the window.

They have painful pasts and can understand each other’s troubles...it’s a passionate relationship, but there is definitely more than just physical attraction at work there.
58. Have you ever been in love? If so, describe what happened. Numerous times. Oskar was Alothia’s first love, and she was blinded by it. He tore her to bits and left her hurt. After Oskar, Alothia fell in love with Zenge, a friend turned lover. They were together until just before the Calamity, at which point she vanished with the rest of the time skippers. Afterward, she met Para, and was swept up in his life.
59. What do you look for in a potential lover? A good sense of humor first and foremost. Beyond that, caring and understanding, a strong sense of self. She doesn’t want someone who needs to be saved or who wants to save her. She wants someone that she can be a partner with, with some give and take on both sides.
60. How close are you to your family? Not very. Alothia burned her bridges with her family when she left home, but did start to establish a sort of relationship with her sister the year before the Calamity.
61. Have you started your own family? If so, describe them. If not, do you want to? Why or why not? Not yet, but Alothia is very interested in starting a family. She thinks that she would make a great mother, and she would do her best to make up for her own mistakes with a child. She just would need to trust someone enough to make a family with them.
62. Who would you turn to if you were in desperate need of help? Any one of her aforementioned friends.
63. Do you trust anyone to protect you? Who, and why? Again, any one of her friends. Once you are considered her friend, she would trust you with anything.
64. If you died or went missing, who would miss you? She has gone missing, with the rest of the time skippers. She is slowly learning who did miss her. Right now, Kass, Burgen, and Lainse are in that number.
65. Who is the person you despise the most, and why? Currently it would be Joshua because she does not understand his motives and thinks that he does what he does out of a need to be cruel.
66. Do you tend to argue with people, or avoid conflict? She tends to avoid outright conflict unless you step on her friends, in which case she will get quite riled up.
67. Do you tend to take on leadership roles in social situations? Yes. Alothia feels that it is her duty to make sure that people are interacting and having a good time.
68. Do you like interacting with large groups of people? Why or why not? She is ever the social butterfly, and she enjoys talking and interacting with as many people as possible.
69. Do you care what others think of you? To some extent. She’s more worried about her own self-loathing.
