Full Name: Phoenix Anisai Current Life When Phoenix moved away from the Island of Thain, she became severely ill and could barely move for a time. This was because she was ripped from the environment that she had lived in for a long time. She soon recovered and began to realise why she had been so affected. The island had become corrupted thanks to the riftstones and in turn had corrupted Phoenix's connection to nature to the extent that she was able to shapeshift into many different forms. Once removed from that environment her natural druidic gifts were gradually restored as she connected to the sands of the desert. The many forms of her past were gone and she was left with two natural forms that she called her own: Phoenix's father was Lythari and phoenix herself was born a wolf, she only changed into a halfling a few hours after her birth. Since then she has been able to freely change between the two forms at will, both as natural as the other. Phoenix has been trying to draw upon her druidic magic as a wolf and is close to obtaining that. Phoenix has two identities: One is the halfling druid who seeks to protect nature by her words, the other is the wolf of the sands who seeks to protect nature by using the magic of nature itself to harm or destroy any that would seek to do the same to the lands itself. History Originally called Phoenix Anisai, this little orphan was taken in by a group of savage druids known as the BlackFoot Druids. They were an evil gang of druids bent on protecting nature at all costs. It is later discovered however that they were controlled by bloodthirsty mages and since the mages have been destroyed the druids return to their peaceful ways. Phoenix was thrown into the Underdark at the age of ten for her final trial before becoming a druid, thanks to a Formian colony she survived down there for three years before making her way back to the surface. When she returned to the druids they began her druid training which took about 5 years. One thing that has always separated Phoenix from typical druids was the fact she could shift into a wolf even before she became a druid. Akaro her mentor wanted a better life for her and sent her to the island of Thain to escape her old life. Given the name Merta Brushe she was soon found by Krin and Jalla Desat who decided after spending some time with her to invite her into their family and pack. Not long before that she began her journey as a shifter, and with Krin and Jalla's advice she has grown into her own. She confessed her love to Merimac and they started a family of their own, as well as started their own pack. They got married whilst on the mainland helping out Merta's old friends, the BlackFoot Druids. Merta gave birth two twins; one boy named Akaro in honour of Merta's mentor and one girl named Millia in honour of Meri's mentor. Her mentor Akaro stayed with them to look after the children until He was called back to the mainland to lead the druids in their time of need. She was also the Alpha of Pack Fire-Storm a pack she created when she left Pack Far-Runner to start her own family. Known as Draug'elle (Elven for Little Wolf) to her closest friends and family, she also has a business known as Little Wolf, Phillian and Celeste's Blessings of Nature that she co-ran with Phillian> and Celeste Melie. Merta enjoyed all of her shifting abilities but because of the pressures of the history of shifters on the island thanks to Amel, Merta reconsidered her choice of lifestyle. She decided to strengthen her connection to nature while forsaking most of her shifting abilities. However she did decide to keep her shifter roots and can still shift into a few forms… a lot less than she could but she didn't regret her decision until it threatened her life. As she began her new path, she was accepted into the ranks of the Keepers. Wearing her blue robes proudly, she was more free spirited than the rest of the Keepers but she still held their principles in high regard. She is very outspoken now, a lot more than she used to be. She still tended to spend a good deal of her time in Hamley with her children and husband, she went on patrols to ensure that any threats are kept in check. Sadly though due to her druidic powers increasing too fast she didn't have the discipline to cope and nearly ended up killing herself by drowning. As a result, and she began to turn back to her shifter nature. After suffering from more shifter problems that nearly ended her life, Merta underwent a ritual to fix the mishap she had when performing a ritual to awaken her shifting abilities. Sadly she needed to sacrifice her memories of Thain in order to complete the ritual. After suffering from severe memory loss for a few months, a fated meeting with a Raven triggered a memory cascade that return most of her memories to her. The Raven had been in fact Jalla, a figure Phoenix had always considered a mother to her. When Phoenix confronted Akaro about why her memories returned when he said they wouldn't, he told her that he was trying to get her to comes back home to realise her destiny. She was outraged with him trying to take her away from her family and completely severed all ties from him and the blackfoot druids. She ditched the name Merta Brushe to help her forget Akaro's betrayal and went back to using her old name Phoenix Anisai. Now she has moved away from Thain with the rest of her family.
