4. Becoming the healers' apprentice ☀ (Significant Positive)
So one of the things that happens during the village-wide meeting is that apprentices are announced. This is for children ages 12-13, and is the start of their "path" to their coming of age, which happens in their fifteenth year. Coming of age is a big event, especially for half-elven children, so the village purposely makes a big deal of it, since lol persecuted lol.
Also, apprentices do not get to choose what skill they learn; up until this they are tested on various things, and based on their skill with x, y, and z, the village elders choose where they go.
So it's during one of these meetings that little Aurae, barely 12 years old, is announced to be the healer's apprentice. Which is a huge deal in general, but even moreso because healers in her village have traditionally always been men.
Not only that, but uh. She really wanted to be a healer, because she was good at magic and her 12 year old self really, really wanted to help out her village.
What she learned:
- Her name isn't Tempest; it's Aurae. . . . wait, what?
- She's the youngest in the group of children being announced, because she's announced last.
- Her parents! Because they're there with her.
- Additionally, there are a lot of people here who aren't human - like her mom. But her dad is?
