Candle Evergreen

Candle Evergreen is a member of The Pretty Cool Ones. She grew up in the remote wilds, the daughter of a human man and a wood elf woman. The man didn't stick around to see her birth or childhood, but Candle's mother and the woods were suitable teachers to bring her to adulthood. Growing up so remotely made it even more difficult to learn the ways of the elves, so Candle mostly kept to herself, fitting in more with the woodland creatures than either of the races running through her veins.

Eventually, Candle went away to a small college to study the biology and behavior or dragons, which frequently fed on the livestock and burned the farmlands of her small village. Candle hoped by studying them, she would be able to help her homeland live more harmoniously with the large fiery beasts. After a long expedition deep in the wilds of the forest, where she met and bonded with her companion, Asher, a bronze pseudodragon, Candle returned to civilization only to learn that in her absence, a large red dragon had attacked her village and burnt it to the ground, destroying everything and everyone in it. Her few friends and only known family perished in the blaze. She vowed to one day find the dragon and seek revenge for the creature's wrath against her homeland.

Following a scéance phone call with exorcist Roda Thaltani and her deceased mother, Mommily, Candle learns that the red dragon who destroyed her homeland was a contract killer, hired by the OHB. The same dragon has since been hired to track down the Pretty Cool Ones and put an end to their meddling.
