A character from the Balder's Gate game. "When you asked about her past, Aerie becomes silent for a time, obviously saddened by the memory. She lived amongst the avariel, the winged elves, and was captured by slavers when she was still very young. She shudders when she speaks of her first years in the circus, on display in a cage that restricted her movements to the point that her wings atrophied. They became infected... and Aerie can barely speak of the night she was taken out of the cage and her wings were sawn off brutally to keep her alive. She was no longer of use to that circus, and were in not for the kindness of Quayle she surely would have died. He restored her to health and gave her a reason to continue living, and out of respect for his generosity she leaned the devotion of the gnomish god Baervan Wildwanderer. She speaks of Baervan with affection, yet still pays tribute to Aerdrie Faenya, and approaches life outside the circus with a combination of wide-eyed innocence and wonder mixed with an inborn determination to fight againt injustice." (Aerie's bio for Baldur's Gate.) I received a request at another art site to render several characters from the Baldur's Gate game. Not having played it myself, I hope I did her justice!
