Hyalt Keylen
Hyalt Keylen is a half-elvaari member of the Wayfarers' Division.
Personality
Sweet, bubbly, and energetic under normal circumstances. Kind hearted and brave, with a strong sense of justice. Desires to lend help to those in need. Looks on the bright side, and always looks for the best in people, making her naïve to a fault. Good with the jokes.
While hunting or searching, she is much more reserved and focused. She's capable in these moments, and the silly veneer melts away. We don't see this Hyalt very often. She uses these moments to reflect and organize her thoughts.
Biography
Hyalt was born to Calliope and Alwen Keylen in the town of Lilium. Calliope was a researcher for the Arcane Sciences Division, and Alwen an archer for the Wayfarers' Division. Hyalt does not remember much of her early childhood, but remembers her mother quite fondly, gaining an appreciation for the art of dance from her.
At the age of five, Hyalt strayed from the village some ways. She encountered a small pocket of whimsy energy and subsequently became corrupted. After she was found by her mother and taken back home, she developed some worrying symptoms from this— a high resistance to pain, a tendency to spin everything into a positive light whether it needed it or not, nausea, some mild hallucinations, and some very concerning skin rings on her left arm. Worried sick for her daughter, Calliope set out to find a way to cure— not manage, cure— the symptoms that were now plaguing her daughter.
Unfortunately, Calliope never returned home. Fearing the worst had befallen his wife, Alwen took his daughter out west to an isolated part of his homeland in Sil’va, leaving his position in the Guild in the process to become an independent hunter. Before leaving, he raided Calliope's office and stocked up on some supplemental medicine to help Hyalt manage her symptoms.
Hyalt lived out the rest of her childhood in Sil'va in relative comfort. Despite this, she came to resent the isolation. Eventually, after thirteen years, something inspired her to leave home. She’d heard tales of an adventurer’s guild— the Hearth— in Eversun City, and she set her heart upon going there to join them. On the eve of her 18th birthday, Hyalt set off on her own in the dead of night. Armed with nothing but a bow crafted by her father, a handful of arrows, and some other basic camping equipment, she made her way to Eversun alone and joined the guild with Creative Commons. While it did not take her out of the city much, and it was not the adventure she was seeking, Hyalt made countless connections and learned a number of skills, and spent much of her spare time exploring the Hearth searching for any clues to her mother's whereabouts.
In 1229, Hyalt began to have strange dreams concerning her mother. Sometime after this, she chanced to meet a researcher that worked with her mother, Hanzekihel Oulieus. Hanze gave Hyalt a letter from Calliope which explained that she would be leaving the Hearth without resigning from the guild, essentially disappearing. He also gifted her her mother's old ID card and armband, as well as a photograph that she had kept on her desk-- the only photo Hyalt now has of her.
Shortly after this encounter, Hyalt decided to transfer to the Wayfarer’s Division, returning to classes to do so. She now takes quests that will take her as far and wide across Castrella as possible, in the hopes that one day she will cross paths with her mother.

- She will also seek out and read her mother's old ASD research. Initially, she does this hoping for clues on what her mother was working on before she left; after some time, however, she simply begins doing it to feel closer to her.
