Arau is an unusual creature. A Gnoll Aardwolf, she is far from the usual gnolls. She is a cleric, a cleric of Pelor, the sun god. Wandering healer, cook, and protector of children, she bears the slings and arrows of her species and its reputation with a loving smile and a hand always ready to help another. It is her kind nature that has forced others to recognize who this sweet, motherly figure is, a far cry from her dangerous kin. Of course, beneath the surface lurks a powerful warrior, ready to protect any child in danger, the one thing she will not allow is harm to a child, and she will stop any that would endanger them. Woe to those who would strike a child in her presence.

Arau is my wonderfully sweet gnoll mama.
