Skylar
Appearance
In the dark of the night you wander. From the corner of your eyes you can see the vague shining silhouette of a woman makes her way towards you. With the torch in your hand you turn towards her. The shimmer in the dark grows brighter as the torchlight hits her as before you stands a woman who for all intents and purposes look just like that of a regular human-being.
There seems to be a warmth to her that is hard to describe. As her blue eyes adjust to the light she glances at you and your friends with a bright smile. Her blonde locks of her hair sway back and forth in the wind. A pale-skinned hand covers her chest as she raises the other in a silent greeting. From her attire it is easy to see that she has been on the road for a while. There are visible rips and tears into the fabric of her clothes. The leather chest piece hanging from her shoulders show signs of struggle. Yet that smile does not falter.
This is Skylar. A celestial mistake.

Skills and Abilities
Skylar is a priestess of Astra, the Celestial Goddess of Stars. Through her faith she holds the power to illuminate herself and the immediate area around her. From will she can create food, water, and warmth at the cost of her own energy and fatigue. Though supposedly touched by Astra, this has not provided her with any real physical advantages. Skylar is as mortal as any other creature on Arethil is. The only thing that separates her from others is the involuntary glimmer that seems to dance around her when the light hits her. Because of this, she always has a clearly visible silhouette in the dark.
As a creature of the light, Skylar holds an innate weakness to the dark; this weakness is both physical and metaphysical. In the darkness of shadows her vision is reduced to little more than a few feet in front of her. In the event of an attack brought upon her by dark magic she will quickly feel her own life falter from its touch. Should she at any point feel her connection to Astra be severed, Skylar will die.
With that said Skylar is also not without her means of protection from the dark. As a priestess of Astra she has learned how to create consecrated spaces in the name of her goddess. While within these areas, usually no bigger than a dozen feet in diameter at most, she has a heightened connection to the source of her divine powers. This does however not translate into a lessened need for caution. It means that Skylar can dig deeper into her powers, but her limits remain very much in the same place they were before entering the consecrated area. Going too far beyond her limits would prove fatal, as all magic do.
