Tsarra Chaadren

Tsarra Chaadren (known by the alias "Autumnfire") was a half-elf sorcerer.

Appearance
Tsarra had auburn curly hair, which was long.

Relatives
Tsarra's father was the human ranger Taalmuth Chaadren. Her mother was the sylvan elf Malruthiia Chaadren (originally an exiled bastard child of the Ilbaereth family).

Personality
Tsarra was a patient teacher, although she did have a temper, which flared up when hearing lies, or when people treated children or animals poorly. She was stubborn when she believed herself to be right.

Possessions
Tsarra inherited Mhaornathil, a magical Rillifane Rallathil-blessed scimitar that could harm ghosts, from her mother, and she held a deep affection for it.

Birth and early years
Tsarra was born to Taalmuth and Malruthiia on 12 Eleasias 1340 DR. She was nicknamed "Autumnfire" by her mother because she had curly auburn hair. Although she had sorcerous abilities, both of her parents were rangers, so they encouraged those skills in her, taking her on hunts from a very young age.

While on a hunt in the Ardeep Forest in 1357 DR with her father, Taalmuth became involved in a spell battle against a suspected lich (the true identity of the assailant was not known) and was killed. His entire body was burned by a fireball spell, and there were charred areas on nearby trees, destroyed skeletons, a pile of stones from an arcane ritual, and a scrap of maroon cloth, which all pointed to a lich as the culprit.

Her mother pulled some favours and gained Tsarra an apprenticeship at Blackstaff Tower. Shortly afterwards, her mother was killed while protecting the Elfstone Tavern from an attack by Myrkul's horde of undead. From losing both her parents to undead creatures, Tsarra formed a deep hatred for all manner of undead.

Apprenticeship
As an orphan, Tsarra adopted the other inhabitants of Blackstaff Tower as her family. As a sorcerer], her talents were left to develop by themselves, and Tsarra used her efforts to learn abilities to detect and destroy the undead. She gained a [[tressym familiar in 1364 DR, who, lacking a name, others referred to as Nameless.

Seven years after entering the Tower, in 1365 DR, Tsarra was made a senior apprentice and began to teach other sorcerers. She was also asked by Khelben "Blackstaff" Arunsun to return to her ranger roots, and develop skills as an arcane archer. This led to her bearing the nickname "the Blackstaff's Hunter". She led groups of apprentices and Waterdhavian nobles on expeditions into the Pellamcopse Woods and other smaller forests.
